Something pulled in ruby, I know not what.

Do the usual - PV all the drives, add them to a VG and create an LV.
For encryption, you must decide if you want LVM to do it, or the filesystem
- choice is yours.
I would advise not to put / in that VG. Rather boot off a small drive or

You can normally build as yourself. Install requires root typically due to

You can probably come up with a clever way to do this, but by far the

It's a simple matter to limit which versions of iptables can be used
with each version of connman. Tracking that, and making changes when
they become known, is what being a package maintainer is all about.

I had issues with setuptools doing the first run through the 17.0

setuptools seemed to think I had a useable python-3.4

It is not unreasonable to conclude that blueman-2.1 intends to add
features that conflict with gnome-bluetooth and they can't co-exist. As
Vadim said, file collisions are often the underlying cause.
You unmasked an alpha package, clearly tagged as "for testing". Nothing
add abut the result you got at all.

Add to that your i7 is RAM-constrained so you compensate with swap,
which is easily 50,000 times slower with sucky latency. When you use a
disk as RAM, performance tanks. Well, usually it causes a cascade effect
and stuff blows up, but if it completes it will have done so slowly.
If you at all can, shove lots more RAM in that i7. These days RAM is
cheap and it's always by first performance tweak, then SSD.

It built fine with this in package.use:

Yes, I did do it, favoured bundled libs instead of system ones. But I
was also having similar issues with bundled vs system ffmpeg for kodi,
and this was the easiest way to get past it and finish a 17.0 migration

fore trying emerge -e @world.
You must do emerge -e @world first, it tends to fail (always fails?) if
emerge world indicates there is something to be built.
So just emerge -e world, then do a depclean. The first step is going to
take long enough and increase your heating bills so much, that the extra
work of a few packages is not worth the stress of worrying about.

package is stabilized, most of those funny bugs ought to be gone and
fixed. Yu mail can be read as proving that this system is working as

Reading only this thread, it looks like an upstream used a horribly
incomplete scheme for distribution that isn't even ready for launch.
And yet they distribute using it.
I would be questioning why I'm using that upstream's project at all, and
find something better by an author with more clue.
Am I missing something?
