Hi all,

I already installed Gentoo some time ago, and want to restart

My biggest doubt has always been which USE flags to use.
I do a lot of home work with multimedia stuff (audio, video...)
and need also a lot of scientific and programming stuff.

First question: is it a good starting point or is it
excessive/unneccessary?
That's a little excessive. For example, you have cups twice.
The thing is, useflags are now cascading, and you don't seem to use that
feature very much. For example, truetype-fonts, type1-fonts are included in
your make.default. Hence, they are already present opn your system, there is
no need to specify them twice.
Moreover, some of the usflags you specify are definitely local useflags. For
example, libg++ affects only postgresql. It should not be in your make.conf,
since it makes it very hard to read. (Moreover, libg++ is enabled by default
in the make.defaults).
You have a typo : aalibaccessibility .
You might want to avoid putting arts in your useflags, since arts is
definitely the worst thing that can happen to your sound system (No flamewar
intended, even the kde devs have decided to take it out of KDE4). However,
you'll need kdelibs to be compiled against it if you want to hear sounds in
kde (and I mean sounds generated by kde, not sounds from amarok...)
So, to sum up, what I would do is :
1) Put USE= and do an emerge --info to see which useflags are enabled by
default.
2) Ask myself the question : Do I really want *any* application running on my
computer to have feature foo. If the answer is no, the useflag should be
in /et/portage/package.use
3) Organise the useflags in make.conf by theme : For example
## System
USE=alsa mmx sse sse2
## Desktop environment :
USE=${USE} gnome kde kdeenablefinal
...
I find this more readable than a long USE=... list.
If I avoid putting things in does it mean that if I add them in
a second moment probably some of the installed stuff needs to be
recompiled?
If you add a useflag, there should not be any problem. However, the app will
make use of the new feature only if it has been recompiled.
If you remove a useflag, from a library for example, the apps linked to that
library can break. You'll need to recompile the apps.
Anyway, if you change your useflag one way or the other, you should :
1) emerge --newuse --ask --verbose world
2) revdep-rebuild
Thanks, Leo
Beware of automatic useflags :
- Portage 2.1 (stable)
Beware that those versions of portage have automatic useflags enabled. For
example, if you emerge mysql, the mysql uselfag will be turned on globally.
If you unmerge it, the useflag will be turned off (except if it is mentionned
in any of the config files).
- Portage 2.1 (unstable, but really, works very well) does not have that
kind of behaviour.
I hope this was clear enough,

Now, why it says one thing and does another and why 4.0.2 fails where 3.4.6 succeeds is another question.I noticed the presence of a file libdevmapper.h under /usr/local/lib/gcc that was quite different from /usr/include/libdevmapper.h.

[...] First question: is it a good starting point or is it excessive/unneccessary? A bit excessive, yes. :) You have both alsa and oss in your use flags. OSS is deprecated in favor of ALSA and hence if you have alsa enabled in your kernel you really shouldn't need optional oss. Also you have both arts and esd in your use flags both of which serve the same purpose (arts is for kde/esd is for gnome). They are sound daemons that allow several apps to use the sound device even if the sound driver allows only one app at the same time. Yet modern alsa drivers do allow multiple apps to use the sound device at the same time. So IMHO sound daemons are an unnecessary overhead. Therefore I would recommend alsa -arts -esd -oss. Is there a reason why you have -nptl in your use flags?? If not and if you do use a 2.6 kernel I recommend you enable it. It is the replacement of linuxthreads and it does perform better.. I actually have nptl nptlonly in mine.. Other than this I don't intend to comment any further on this. You really are the only one who can say what you need. You do have a lot of use flags enabled and some would say that it makes your system bloated.. But it really is up to you.

If all your computers have the same configurantion (or, as you said, very similar), you could build ONE box, set it to be a BINHOST, use a network shared dir for distfiles, set distcc, set ccache (all while installing) and use it as a local RSYNC server, this would give you: 1) Super fast install at the other machines. 2) Less stress on your backbone. 4) Fast compiles at the host with all the machines as distcc servers. 3) No compile time at all BINHOST clients. Obrigado for the suggestion. This will be a project for a future gentoo cluster install expansion. -- Valmor -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge error with sys-apps/apmd
re-emerge libtool and this should go away. If not a google search or in forums.gentoo.org has some more info.

[gentoo-user] how to have this
Hi, http://gensid.altervista.org/screenshot/fvwm15.png I would like to use fvwm and have these features. My hardware is an AMD Sempron 3000+ 32bits, an ATI Xpress 200M I really would like to install all needed thing through portage, even the ATI drivers. Would you have some links you would recommend. I already tried google, but may be have you some unindexed resources... Thanks in advance. -- A powerfull GroupWare, CMS, CRM, ECM: CPS (Open Source GPL). Opengroupware, SPIP, Plone, PhpBB, JetSpeed... are good: CPS is better. http://www.cps-project.org for downloads documentation. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
