Re: [gentoo-dev] arm64 update
Thanks for doing that Yixun, I’ll start on your list a little bit later this evening.

[gentoo-dev] arm64 Mar 2nd update
I’ve put my experimental stage3 and portage snapshot in my dev space. See: http://dev.gentoo.org/~tgall http://dev.gentoo.org/~tgall For this week plan to test install stage3 on the HiKey and start to get the handbook updated in the wiki. We’ll end up with an img that can be dd’ed to sd media or the eMMC on the HiKey. Thanks much to dlan for helping out with keywording. Regards, Tom Dare I say arm64 arch lead?

Additions: sys-firmware/iwl7265-ucode 2015-02-22 04:06:56 prometheanfire IIRC, just one or two months ago several of the sys-firmware/iwl*-ucode packages were lastrited with the recommendation of using sys-kernel/linux-firmware instead. So why are we adding new firmware ebuilds now? The iwl7625 firmware seems to be in linux-firmware, too. The separate packages are indeed unnecessary in many cases because you can tell sys-kernel/linux-firmware to only install desired firmware files via USE=savedconfig. Nonetheless, some users and developers prefer to have the firmware in individual packages. One of the reasons for this is that the linux-firmware upstream is sometimes slow to accept new or updated firmware in their repository (they have gotten better in recent times though). This however does not help products which are EOL (iwl3956/4965 etc.). They will not receive any firmware updates any longer, therefore their individual packages were less useful and have been last-rited. Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
Re: [gentoo-dev] Why gcc-config is a separate utility, not a module for eselect?
good memory, maybe someone could write a frontend in eselect to gcc-config, to have a proved manager _and_ everything in one place.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: [rfc] Rendering the official Gentoo logo / Blender 2.04, Python 2.2
On 23.02.2015 23:34, Daniel Campbell wrote: Can't the logo be remade in a more recent version of Blender? Assuming you can run two separate Blender instances, it would mostly be copying the poly/vertex values from one to the other. I'm not versed in 3-D but it would surprise me if there wasn't a standard mesh format. There was an attempt to port to a recent version of Blender. When comparing renderings, the result is close, but not 1:1. Please check Mario's reply of 2011 in this very thread (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/70870). Best, Sebastian
