Well, it does, by stopping and waiting for you to perform an action and
either restart the stopped process (if the action you took was to
unmerge the blocking package), or to forego the stopped process
entirely, if you choose not to remove the blocked package because you
want to keep it for whatever reason (it could happen).
You're assuming that unmerging the blocking package is *always* the
right solution for everyone at all times (in this case, it's not really
relevant, since motif-config will itself re-install openmotif), but the
point of Gentoo is that you are in control. If I am in control, then I
have to decide what I want done in each particular situation that
occurs, which is exactly what I have to do with the current setup-- very
obviously, since Portage will stop until I make a decision and act on
it. So fine, your new updated Portage informs me there's a block, and
says, I could do this to solve it, shall I? I myself am going to say
no, because I want to know the nature of the block, and how Portage's
proposed action is going to affect the system that I have carefully
customized to my individual needs.
So I'm right in the same position as I was anyway; the emerge is stopped
(because I said, no don't go on with whatever you plan), and I'm off
reading ChangeLogs and the like to see what's going on in the
environment I'm suddenly dealing with. I suppose that it's all very nice
to have some extra dialog as if Portage was communicating with me more
humanely, but it's just cosmetic, in actual fact.
Of course, that may be because I take time to read some of the
comprehensive documentation that so many have taken the time to write,
so I know what a Blocked Package is, so it doesn't freak me out when I
come across one. So sue me and call me names... oh wait, you had your
rant already. We'll mark that item Done, then.
I don't think anyone wants to call you names. At least not anyone
sensible. But, I see I struck a nerve on one of my previous posts.
That's good though, as we *all* need to be provoked to think a little.
That way we become *wise* rather than *smart*. And wise is better
than smart. :D
Ultimately, I'm sure such an extra dialog would be a nice thing, but I
don't so much see it as something to get all riled up about. Maybe it's

It would be icky to have to specify blocker logic/messages like that.
Not in the sort of cases that come up most often, where functionality has
been moved from a package into another. In this case the block is
entirely predictable. If, for example, you are updating xpdf from version
=X to version X, it will both require and block poppler. The dev has
already modified the ebuild to handle the new dependency, so he will know
about the block.

Yes, flexibility is GREAT. That's one reason I really like gentoo,
and linux in general. However, I also like simplicity, or should I
say, I like to have the choice. So, one could easily make gentoo have
auto-detect and handle features, while allowing configuration changes
that disable automatic behaviour. You could have individual
enable/disable options for each feature, as well as one global feature
than enables/disables all auto-detect features. Then you could have
include/excludes for each feature so that the global would not
override them.
So, the bottom line is this, one person says that things are difficult
because they need to be, in order to be flexible. But I say that if
things are truly flexible, then it should also be possible to make
them automatic, or simple. That's what I call ULTIMATE flexiblity,
which is what I mentioned in another post that I made. When I
originally started with gentoo linux, I read the part about why gentoo
linux came about. Basically it was all about doing things the way you
want. Well, I like the flexiblity, but I also want the simplicity. :)
Let us have the simplicity of RedHat, and RPMs (waiting for flames),
but with flexibility as well.
I understand that gentoo is a work in progress, and will probably
remain that way forever (I HOPE). So, any ideas should at least be
analyzed, and thought out, and not just discarded.
So I'm right in the same position as I was anyway; the emerge is stopped
(because I said, no don't go on with whatever you plan), and I'm off
reading ChangeLogs and the like to see what's going on in the

If would be nice is portage had a means for developers to handle these
types of conflicts in the ebuild. A similar thing happened recently with
xpdf/poppler, it happened with some FTP servers and the ftp-base package
not long ago. I realise it is not possible to handle all conflicts, but
with some instances, like this one, the conflict is expected. even if
there were just a means to print a message if a package hits a block,
something like
if_blocked_by('openmotif')
ewarn You must unmerge openmotif before proceeding
Yes, or as follows...

An error message like that doesn't really tell the user anything that he
doesn't already know.
It may not say anything you or I don't know, but from the number of posts
to this list about blockers, it would clearly help some people.
Yes, and I've noticed there's a big problem with the linux community
at large. People that know and understand linux have a lot of the
times not helped the open source intiative, in that they like things
to be difficult, because it makes them somehow seem smarter. In all
reality, it doesn't take a genius to use linux, just someone who likes
to read a whole lot.
Now i'm not saying this is a problem with the people working on
gentoo, so please don't think that I am. But, if you do feel that
way, perhaps you should think twice, and actually support users. I've
always felt that Linux in general could easily surpass windows in
usage, *IF* the linux community would make things more user friendly.
For example, if I didn't have to read the documentation to get
something basic to work, then it's user friendly. That doesn't mean
you have to remove flexibility either. I've seen gui utilities in
windows that had full command line support. If you provide command
line options, the GUI doesn't start. So, one can have user friendly
applications without sacrificing flexibility.
When I first started with gentoo, I was ready to give up. Not because
I didn't know what I was doing with linux, but because I don't really
have the time to read a whole whack of documentation, and the
documntation is not in a nice point form format for those that do know
what they are doing anyhow. Take the gentoo quick install version of
the gentoo hand book. It no longer tells you what commands to
actually run. It just describes what to do, which is of VERY little
value. Luckily I kept a printed copy of the old quick install around,
becuse I have no use for the new version. Why someone would remove
all that useful information from a quick install guide, only to make a
lot less useful, I don't know.
It would be more useful if some information was provided:
if blocked_by =x11-libs/openmotif-1.2.3 ; then
eblockinfo Due to changes with blah, it is recommended that
eblockinfo you foobar. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/123456.;
fi
But then, at what point would this information be echoed to the user?
It would have to be during the same pre-merge phase that the blocking
errors appear.
Yes, so instead of rushing to this list or the forums, they can do what
the message tells them and be on their way. The current messages are only
useful if you already understand how and why blocks happen, and how to
deal with them.

Re: [gentoo-user] package conflict on update
Oh, and one other thing. This should also be done for packages that
get moved to different categories, because I've been getting errors
like the following lately...
Calculating world dependencies |
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy =dev-perl/PodParser-1.22.
(dependency required by mail-filter/spamassassin-3.1.0 [binary])
In this case, this simply means that dev-perl/PodParser has moved to a
different category, and the old spamassassin binary package couldn't
find it anymore, because it only knows about the PodParser in the old
category, not the new category. I checked the xorg-x11 ebuild, and it
was fine. It was the binary that still had problems, so I had to
re-merge it without --usepkg. If I recall correctly, I also would
have had to remove the file /var/cache/edb/remote_metadata.pickle,
but I started using NFS for my portage instead. That file has
information about packages, and their dependencies, so I looked in it,
and it had the wrong information. It had the dev-perl/PodParser
info, instead of the perl-core/PodParser info.

Re: [gentoo-user] world file cheating
I just boot with a gentoo CD, tar up my entire system, and untar it on the new system. If your new system boots with the gentoo CD as well, then you can pipe this over ssh. Something like the following... cd /mnt/gentoo tar -cz ./ | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'cd /mnt/gentoo; tar -xz' I personally actually just use an external HD, that I'm building gentoo on. My primary box has it's portage on the external HD, and I'm trying to install all the packages i need on it. So, if I need a new system, I just copy the entire gentoo system off the external HD, to a new system, and then change configs.

[gentoo-user] courier-imap package enhancement
Hi everyone, Might I suggest that the courier-imap package adds a directory of /etc/skel/.maildir during install? That way any new users created on the system would automatically have .maildir for use with courier-imap. Otherwise, courier-imap complains, in /var/log/mail.log, that the .maildir does not exist. Is this the right list for suggesting things like this? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Duplicate symbol __glXSingleTable in libglx.a
Oh well, I wasn't able to get this to work. So, I copied my entire gentoo system from another system that is identical hardware, and it worked just fine. I don't know what I did different, or if I did anything different. I did try doing an emptytree and deep build of xorg-x11, but that didn't fix it.

[gentoo-user] bash and keeping history
Hi everyone, There's one thing that has kind of been a little annoying since I started using gentoo a few months ago. That's the fact that when you open multiple bash logins, only the history of the last one logged out actually gets saved. Now I know that redhat saves all of them. Does anyone know how it does this? Is it a patch, a certain scripts, what? Anyhow, I think gentoo really needs this feature. It's a little annoying to lose all of your history when you've been working in multiple windows. Thanks.
