Hi, I'm considering buying a new monitor (and graphics card) which supports 10 bits per color channel. Will Gimp on a Linux machine (X11) support this now or in the near future. Or is it just waste of money to buy a monitor with more than 8 bits/color channel? Many thanks for some hints, Helmut

Adding "--verbose --tree" to your emerge options probably reveals the offending package. It is likely this is caused by a dependency you have not yet masked. Meld master already contains fixes for those issues, so hopefully they release a fixed version soon... On Wed, 21 Sep 2016 10:30:21

Hello list, I remember someone (Dale?) some time ago being dismayed at the large number of packages that would be installed by emerge @system. Now I see what he meant: on this box 401 of the 1103 installed packages. I'd like to construct a set that would create a reliable basis for building

[gentoo-user] emerge of `screen' possible perl mismatch

Setup: Running gentoo thru vbox as guest on a Solaris host (openindiana) While executing `emerge -vuD world', when the `screen' package rolled around I get this `tail' of the compile process: CPP="i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E -DMAXWIN=100 -DNONETHACK -DETCSCREENRC='"/etc/screenrc"'

[gentoo-user] emerge --resume says "invalid resume list".

Hi. I don't believe I've ever seen portage's --resume --skipfirst option work correctly without saying "invalid resume list". I know this is incorrect because I've manually checked that all deps are satisfied and it even occurs if a custom package I'm working on with nothing depending upon it

[gentoo-user] Emerge config files update question

Hi all, i need explanation about how emerge does updates of config files. example: emerge -v1 =net-misc/dhcp-4.3.3_p1 then i change parameters in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and /etc/conf.d/dhcpd then i upgrade the net-misc/dhcp (net-misc/dhcp ~amd64) emerge -v1 net-misc/dhcp [ebuild U ~]

[gentoo-user] emerge --rebuild-if-new-rev always triggers rebuild

From the does-this-happen-to-anyone-else-or-is-it-just-me department. I'm finding that if I include "--rebuild-if-new-rev y", I get a slew of new packages built, *even if I just built them*. That seems wrong. I've tried removing it, and the problem goes away. The presence or absence of
