[gentoo-dev] useful profiles.desc

Continuing a subject I've brought up several times in the past...

Are we any closer to having a profiles.desc that lists all valid profiles?
IIRC the current stable portage should be ok with it.  Are there any other
issues preventing this from becoming a reality?

 There should be no issues anymore.  I was planning on doing this myself
 at some point.  Are you wanting to do this, or should I?

Doesn't matter one way or the other to me :)  If you were planning on doing it
soon then go for it.  I probably won't have the time to do it myself until I
get done moving in a week or two.

I vaguely remember someone (might've even  been you) having all archs report a
list of valid profiles.  That'd be a good starting point.

Greeting,

Allow me to introduce our latest addition to the team, Chris Lee aka LabMonkey.
 Chris has joined us to help the app-backup herd, mainly to maintain bacula.
He also will probably be helping sparc (once he gets one).

- From his quiz:

I have lived in the piney woods of east Texas most of my life.  I've played
guitar for the better part of 11 years now, and occasionally I like to ride
ATVs and snow ski.

He also adds that he accepts weekly donations of pizza (for anyone feeling
generous I don't mind a pizza either ;p).

Everyone give Chris a warm welcome.

Since we currently have language herds for other languages such as Ada,
Perl, and Java, I don't think C++ should be any different.  There are
currently many packages in the tree that are C++ libraries or utilities
that are no-herd and are actively maintained, and there are probably
some that have just been sitting around rotting.  With the creation of a
C++ herd, there would be a team that could support these packages,
instead of a single maintainer, if the package has one.  Below is a list
of all of the packages that I believe would qualify as falling under
this herd.  If you see your name in the following list, I'd especially
like to hear from you.  Names with a '?' next to them are packages that
had no metadata and I guessed from the changelog who the maintainer is.
 I would also like to see many of them, if not all, moved to the dev-cpp

Re: [gentoo-dev] eselect modules

2005-08-17 Thread Aaron Walker

Jeremy Huddleston wrote:

I've recently updated opengl-update to use the eselect framework.  I
think the team has done a great job as it was extremely easy to port the
bash script to an eselect module.  However, when I placed it in the
portage tree, it sparked a little bit of a policy discussion between
myself and the core eselect devs on how to best include modules in the
tree, so I'd like to let other devs chime in as well.

Firstly if you don't know what eselect is, check out:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/eselect/index.xml 


The eselect developers want to keep all eselect modules in their svn
repository and distributed through a single package (app-admin/eselect).
Their main reasons for this are better QA and less overhead for releases
and merging.


QA is my main concern.



I have a problem with this policy because:
1) Stability of the modules should not be tied to stability of the core
package.  Basically, I'd like to determine when my modules get pushed
into stable without considering how it'll effect the eselect modules of
other developers.  Similarly, I don't want bugs in another module
holding up my module from going into stable.


agreed.



2) Not all users will want all modules.  The goal of the eselect project
is to provide a framework to replace java-config, motif-config,
gcc-config, binutils-config, opengl-update, etc, but not all users will
need all modules.

3) Some modules require extra files (opengl-update installs header
files, gcc-config installs a wrapper, etc), and the app-admin/eselect
package is not the correct place to provide these files.


agreed.



Also, what should the correct way to introduce these modules into
portage?
Should we keep them in the packages they're replacing
(x11-base/opengl-update)?
Should we place them in a new package in the same category as the script
they're replacing (x11-base/eselect-opengl)?
Should we place them in app-admin/eselect-module name or perhaps
app-eselect/module name?


Good question.  I don't really have a preference.



Note that for backwards compatibility in all cases,
x11-base/opengl-update will RDEPEND on this eselect module and install a
backwards-compatible frontend to the eselect module until all packages
in portage have been updated to use the eselect module instead.



It's been my opinion from the beginning that not allowing modules to be 
distributed outside of eselect limits its flexibility.  However, I've kept my 
foot down to this point soley for QA reasons.  It'd be a nightmare to keep 
track of the modules if they were all over the tree in various packages' files/ 
directories.


After thinking about this a bit and reading the other responses you've gotten 
so far, I think we should keep all the modules in the main subversion 
repository and allow the modules to be distributed separately (once we have a 
stable API of course).


Yay or nay on this?

i'm 28 years old, from a city called Beverwijk (30km west from Amsterdam,

my time at home, mostly, getting an illness under control, in which
i currently succeeded, so far, and i'm currently looking for a job again,
a programming job. In the past i've done programming for desktop
applications and webapplications.
Most of the languages i know are self-taught. Other hobbies, i tend to
pick up again shortly, are mountain biking (yes, eventhough we hardly
have mountains here), running, indoor soccer, music (making and
listening), programming and more. Any other info needed... just ask.  :)

Everyone welcome him aboard.

[gentoo-dev] Announcing eselect

2005-06-13 Thread Aaron Walker
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Greetings,

eselect (formerly known as eclectic (formerly known as eselect)) is now in the
tree as app-admin/eselect.  Along with the new name comes a new version, 0.9.4.

Changes in this release include:

Bug Fixes:
- fixed call to lapack config file in blas module.

New Features:
- added a testing version of binutils.eselect.
- added (start|stop|restart) subactions to rc module.
- implemented global options handling generally and a --no-colour
option specificly.
- all modules mark currently active options with a * in list subaction.

In addition, eselect is now hosted on Gentoo infrastructure.  This resulted in
quite a few other things being added as well: svn access, a new bugzilla
category (Gentoo hosted projects-eselect), a new alias for all eselect devs
(eselect@), and a new homepage[1].

 why not the app-portage category ?
 -mike

My reason for choosing app-admin over app-portage is because eselect itself
really has nothing to do with portage or the portage tree.  It is more of an
administrative tool.

While indeed most of the modules are Gentoo-specific, the framework itself is
not limited to Gentoo.

[gentoo-dev] death to underquoted M4 definitions

2005-05-18 Thread Aaron Walker
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Fellow devs,

I'd like to propose a new function for eutils.eclass that fixes m4 files so
that aclocal doesn't produce those annoying underquoted definition warnings
when invoked.

fix_underquoted_m4defs() {
local m4
for m4 in $(find ${S} -name '*.m4*' -type f) ; do
[[ ${m4} == *aclocal.m4 || ${m4} == *acinclude.m4 ]]  \
continue
sed -i \
's|^\(.*AC_DEFUN(\)\([^[:punct:]][[:print:]]\+\),\(.*\)$|\1[\2],\3|g' \
${m4}
done

ebuilds that install m4's with underquoted defs (there's quite a few) can then
just call this in src_unpack (until fixed upstream of course).

 Hmm, have to check this out and see if I can obsolete my own little hack
 for changing profile.

Wasn't available in 0.9.1 but is in 0.9.2.  It currently only shows one
possible valid profile though since of course profiles.desc only shows one per
arch.

Judging by some gentoo-commits.log sed/sort/grep -c-foo there's still quite a
few ppl using 2.0.51.19 so looks like we'll have to wait a little bit before we
can update profiles.desc.

Are you sure you have the latest versions of everything?  When the big apache
unmask happened, my subversion broke for a short while with the same aborts
until the new revision was released.  This probably isn't the case, but is
worth mentioning.

Yeah tove informed me of this on irc.

Actually, herdstat was incorrectly reading it  :)   I thought I had physically
looked at the herds.xml and saw 0 devs but that must've only been the case for
alpha herd (prior to them adding devs).

I just added maintainingproject support to herdstat, so it'll fetch/parse the
specified XML and get the developer list.  Kinda sucks but I don't see any
other way to go about doing it.

Anyways, sorry for the error on my part.

It's going to work like this:

New revisions of all mailwrapper-enabled packages in Portage (ssmtp,

package-name.mailer. Then, mailer-config is used to switch between
profiles in a similar way to gcc-config, motif-config et al.
 
 
 This is starting to look a lot like /etc/alternatives a la debian, what
 was the reason for not using that solution from the start (for all
 packages that might have alternatives)?
 Wouldn't that be a more generic solution? (Have to admit I haven't
 looked at debian /etc/alternatives more than over a co-workers shoulder,
 but it seemed appealing)

Already in the works.  slarti knows of this, but wanted to get it implemented
now rather than waiting for eclectic to be added to portage.  Btw, ciaranm,
what's the ETA on that?

 Hi folks,
 
 The other night, some of us in #gentoo-uk got talking about per-category and 
 per-package eclasses, the idea being that each category, and each package, 
 could have it's own 'eclass' subdirectory containing category- or 
 package-local eclasses.  This in addition to having global eclasses in 
 gentoo-x86/eclass.
 
 For example (totally hypothetical), the php-sapi* eclasses would be a primse 
 example of a category-local eclass (their only used by the PHP SAPI ebuilds). 
  
 I can't find any eclasses that exist currently that'd be a good example of a 
 local-eclass, but hopefully you get the idea.
 
 Thoughts ?  Anything I've missed ciaranm ? :)

I like the idea.  cron.eclass would definitely fit in sys-process/eclass/
(although could we move existing eclasses anyways?).

I definitely see an advantage to package local eclasses (any package with a
non-trivial build system).  All non version-specific stuff could be kept there.

Diego is more than welcome to play around with NetBSD, but officially the BSD
