[gentoo-user] Large fonts in printing!

2011-10-01 Thread Nilesh Govindarajan
I have a dot matrix printer. Since it prints ASCII text, I used lpr output.txt and it prints large size text. Large in the sense, the thing which fits in one single page if printed using kwrite goes into 1.5 pages. -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com

I'm not sure if you are overcomplicating this by trying to use Unix permission.  Have you instead considered webdav?  You can restrict this to particular (apache) users/groups, directories, files.  It also uses lockfiles so with two users editing a file simultaneously will cause a warning

Thanks for that.  I haven't thought it all the way through, but if Unix ownership and permissions aren't granular enough and subversion's path-based authorization won't work, I will need to use ACLs.  I think both subversion's path-based authorization and Unix ownership/permissions would be

[gentoo-user] How to read package changelogs?

2011-10-01 Thread Spidey
That's one task that I find difficult to do in Gentoo. Should I mess with temp folders in /var/tmp/portage to find changelogs there? I'd like something easy to use as eix or equery, but since Gentoo just maintains ebuild files I guess it doesn't mess with changelogs. I hope I'm wrong. Claudio
