Re: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] Adding two USE flags to 2008.0's profiles
Chris Gianelloni wrote: I'm thinking of adding both the bluetooth and usb USE flags to the 2008.0 profiles for amd64/x86. I'll be adding just usb for everybody else, unless they want bluetooth, also. So why am I asking about this? Well, I'm wanting to add it to the "2008.0" profiles, not the "desktop" or "server" sub-profiles. This means it'll hit pretty much everybody. That being said, this normally enables hardware support, so I see it as a good thing. If adding "bluetooth" seems to be a bit much, how about just the "usb" USE flag? After all, my UPS won't work with apcupsd without USE="usb" on my server... ;] I'm cool with USB enabled. I think pretty much everything I use uses or requires USB. Even the big IBM PowerPC boxes have USB. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Scanned with Copfilter Version 0.84beta3a (ProxSMTP 1.6) AntiVirus: ClamAV 0.91.2/5649 - Fri Feb 1 18:54:58 2008 by Markus Madlener @ http://www.copfilter.org -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-dev] Seeking questions for a user survey; releng related
If the topic of frequent releases is put onto the survey, I would like to know what users anticipate as part of the new releases because new releases are based on the tree itself. It has been a while since I have used a binary distribution, but when I did, I looked forward to new releases because new versions of X and Y were generally tied to it; which is not usually the case with Gentoo except where profiles dictate that. Is the motivation for more releases in part the expectation of more features? If so, also collecting their suggestions for a features list would be helpful. Also helpful would be making sure the user input on releases reflected all archs he/she uses. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Scanned with Copfilter Version 0.84beta3a (ProxSMTP 1.6) AntiVirus: ClamAV 0.91.2/5483 - Mon Jan 14 08:45:01 2008 by Markus Madlener @ http://www.copfilter.org -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-dev] Projects and subproject status
For the ppc64 project Are we fine? - The induction of the PS3 has helped us a lot. We have more users than before. Great variance skill-wise amongst those users but interest level is high. We need more folks on the dev team but otherwise we're as healthy as we've ever been. - Just put a ps3 dev profile into portage to begin moving towards our longer term goals - Lu_zero and I have added a couple of ps3 specific ebuilds into the tree; previously were in the cell overlay What are we going to do: - Anticipating gcc-4.3 and the love it is supposed to bring, specifically cell optimizations. - BAU =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Scanned with Copfilter Version 0.84beta3a (ProxSMTP 1.6) AntiVirus: ClamAV 0.91.2/5451 - Wed Jan 9 03:07:04 2008 by Markus Madlener @ http://www.copfilter.org -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-dev] *DEVELOPMENT* mail list, right?
To encourage the positive discussion around actual development, I've been working on the following: * Upcoming media and stages for the release with the releng team * PS3 stages and media. This is going quite well and Gentoo, if I can say so, has been a leader in PS3 adoption. Interested devs, swing by #gentoo-ppc64; help is welcome. * Working on an ebuild for the newly released, experimental petitboot, which is a lightweight bootloader based on kboot for ps3s. -ranger -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
