[gentoo-user] mail in $HOME/.maildir, why ???

Hi, I'm using sendmail as my mail-server, and I noticed, that mail for users is stored in $HOME/.maildir, not in /var/spool/mail. And each mail is stored as separate file, not all in one file. WHY??? Some mail clients does not look for new mail in $HOME/.maildir with default settings (for exampl

Re: [gentoo-user] Lost Labyrinth

Right Markus I have written an ebuild that installs the package and it works, although I am not sure if its how a pro would have done it. It downloads the compiled version 1.0.0 from sourceforge (can't test it on 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 until you put them on sourceforge.) Once you have done that, and I hav

[gentoo-user] Strange udev Error on boot

Can I make gensplash to work with gforce4? yes Hi Matan, That's good news. Thanks. What fb driver are you using? I've tried with vesafb which was working well with my onboard i810 chip without success. Thanks, Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Lost Labyrinth

further questions / info. Seems PureBasic is a direct dependency for all programs "compiled" with it. They will probably use the shared library which comes with PureBasic. I wonder ... There is a static library amongst the PureBasic binary too. Maybe PureBasic "compiles" the way VisualBasic up to

Re: [gentoo-user] Lost Labyrinth

Markus, you just keep working on the program and make sure you upload it to sourceforge, I'll do the ebuilds :-) On Wed, 2005-08-24 at 10:06 +0200, Markus Döbele wrote: > Okay, but this means to me that it makes no real difference if I upload it to > 2 destinations all the time. > I am living in

Re: [gentoo-user] Lost Labyrinth

right, and that means we have to study PB's syntax ... what I'm doing just now if I have some time. PB itself is probably written in C. A compiler with less than 140kB IMHO isn't written in C++. BTW: Have a look at ``strings pbcompiler | more''! It's VEERY interesting. Seems pbcompiler simply

The code I think is not the problem. But I think it is still a lot of work. By the way I don't like C too much (we had a C Version once and only encountered problems all the time :-( Buffer overflows and all this nice stuff is a big problem of this language!) Maybe a C Fan is reading this and li

Okay, but this means to me that it makes no real difference if I upload it to 2 destinations all the time. I am living in Argentina and my internet connection here is very slow :-( When we have to write a special file (ebuild) anyway so I would suggest to rename the funny name the server is givi
