OK, I will see if I can find the maintainer, I saw lots of references in the bug list to maintainer wanted, we shall see. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Remove rust completely

The second factor is a natural reaction toward feeling that I am forced to have it. Another reason is the growing collection of compilers and development tools and their build time (gcc, bin-utils, llvm, clang ... etc.) and now rust. Tongue in cheek, but have you tried doing away with gcc, clang etc? If you're going to use a source-based system, a bunch of compilers "comes with the territory". Many people see Rust as a "better C than C", so that's why it's becoming popular. (Oh, and does Rust have its own compiler, or is Rust just part of llvm?). The way things are going you might find all you need is the llvm collection, and gcc will be obsolete ... Cheers, Wol

[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] emerge not fetching anything

Not a DNS problem, just needed to rebuild wget because gblic was updated
not long ago.
discovered this by setting FETCHCOMMAND to
"strace wget -t 3 -T 60 --passive-ftp --user pypi-user --password
pypi-user-secret -O \"\${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}\" \"\${URI}\""
wget was issuing a SIGFPE, so I remembered the glibc update.

Re: [gentoo-user] problem with saslauthd
So, I went on to the sasl mailing list and someone found a patch -- seems to be available for the freebsd port, and the patch was specific to sendmail and dev-libs/cyrus-sasl 2.1.28. I modified it for gentoo and it fixed everything up! I wonder if I should file this somewhere -- funny no one else noticed this before -- I saw nothing on bgo.

I'm still wrestling with sound, and creating user directories and recovering email backups. I'm leaning towards concluding that there's no way to have sound on this machine any more. At every stage in setting up yet another new user account, together with mail, browser etc., I log out and in again to check that I still have (wired) sound.

Indeed, and I've now replaced the speakers, the 3.5mm cable and the USB dongle - every sound component is new. When I tested it yesterday in the plasma control panel, I heard one "front left", very loud, and then nothing. I thought some BT stuff must still be lying around somewhere, so I've installed a new system from scratch, using a kernel .config from before I started with BT, and today I still hear no sound. This seems like witchcraft now. -- Regards, Peter.
