[gentoo-user] renaming of the 'gimli' SVN repo
This email probably isn't necessary, and most people won't care about this. However, sending it was one of robbat2's terms for renaming this SVN repo, so here it is :P The current repo name 'gimli' was the original name of the project a long time ago. The name of the project is now Scire, and we've gotten tired of looking at the old repo name. If you have this repo checked out, you can either check it out again, or use one of the following commands: svn switch --relocate svn+ssh://svn.gentoo.org/var/svnroot/gimli svn+ssh://svn.gentoo.org/var/svnroot/scire (for devs) OR svn switch --relocate http://anonsvn.gentoo.org/repositories/gimli http://anonsvn.gentoo.org/repositories/scire (for users of anonsvn) Thanks. -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Catalyst/Installer + x86 release coordinator -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on PowerPC?
Yes, as long as it's not NuBus, but even that can be worked around. Check out http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ppc.xml?full=1 and #gentoo-ppc on Freenode.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - imap and thunderbird
Antoine wrote: Hi, I can't work out how to tell thunderbird to look in all of the folders on an imap server (for a single account) and retrieve at least the fact that there is a new message. It is rather annoying that one has to click on the folder for it to check - with 20+ folders this becomes unmanageable... Right-click on each folder, select Properties, check Check this folder for new message, and click OK. -- Andrew Gaffneyhttp://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Installer Project -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Either 'gnome' snuck into your USE flags, or some package that you already have installed suddenly gained a dependency on gnome (new version or something). Run 'emerge -uDpvt' to get an idea of which package is pulling in all those gnome deps. -- Andrew Gaffneyhttp://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Installer Project -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] web-browser out port
Joseph wrote: Is there a standard port the web-browser connection is going OUT (to internet) on? You might want to read up on how TCP/IP works. Outgoing connections are made on a random (well, not random, but not exactly predictable) port 1024. All ports =1024 are restricted for root's use only. If you're trying to do something with a firewall, trying matching a destination port of 80 instead of the source port. -- Andrew Gaffneyhttp://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Installer Project -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
