 MySQL-4.1.12 is in the tree (hard-masked), and I would like lots of early

 MySQL-4.0.24-r2 is also in the tree (hard-masked) for testing, and contains
 some of the improvements in the 4.1 ebuilds, like the new pkg_config, and the
 updated init.d script.

I'd be happy to give 4.1.x some testing on one of my servers - I'm
planning on reinstalling at some point in the near future (probably
this weekend). Is there anything specific that needs testing, or
should I just drop it in as a replacement for whatever version of 4.0
I'm running and see if it breaks anything?

 Don't know if robbat2 need other testings but here it has been tested
 only on x86, at the moment there are no other archs avaiable for testing.

If ebuilds exist for PPC (there appears to be one for 4.1.8-r1) then
I'll be able to test it on that, assuming I manage to get Gentoo
successfully installed on my Powerbook this weekend. I'm afraid I
don't have any exotic hardware to test the other architecture builds
on.

[gentoo-dev] Strange update world output

2005-05-16 Thread Paul Waring
I have a cron job on my system which runs emerge --sync  emerge -uDf
world early in the hours of the morning, so that each day I can login,
run emerge -uDp world and if I'm satisfied with what's about to be
updated I can upgrade straight away without having to wait for time
consuming syncs or downloads. However, this morning I woke up to the
following output from emerge -uDp world:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!

[ebuild  N] media-libs/libsdl-1.2.8-r1
[ebuild  N] sys-libs/lib-compat-1.4

Given that my USE flags include -X, -gtk, -qt etc. (I don't want any
graphical stuff as this is a server machine, and I've never had
anything like this come up before), why on earth is portage wanting to
install all these new packages? The only thing I can think of is that
the dependancies for postgresql have somehow changed, running emerge
-uDpv postgresql throws up most of what is shown above plus:

[ebuild U ] dev-db/postgresql-8.0.1-r3 [8.0.1-r2] -debug -doc
-kerberos +libg++ +nls +pam +perl -pg-hier -pg-intdatetime +python
+readline (-selinux) +ssl -tcltk +xml2 +zlib 0 kB

Have I done something wrong, or has something changed in portage?

Thanks in advance.

 Try emerge -puDvt world, which will give you the list in an indented tree 
 format useful for determining what pulled in the packages you don't want.

I think I've found out what the problem was by looking through all
those, although the dependancy tree isn't all that easy to follow
(it's pretty hard to tell how far something is indented when they're
10+ lines apart). Looks like lib-compat had +sdl set (I presume this
is set by default because I've never enabled it) which seemed to be
bringing all sorts of rubbish along with it. Adding -sdl and -arts to
make.conf got rid of everything bar postgresql and lib-compat (which
is what I wanted), although I've no idea why all these extra packages
appeared in the first place.

Thanks for the help.
