emerge sync cleans up after itself.  Rather, rsync takes care of that,
so do not expect to gain too much.

Cleanup of kernels is good, if they are portage managed than you can
do something akin to this:

emerge -c =gentoo-sources-version-revision

e.g.

To remove all of these kernels

 linux-2.6.14-r1
 linux-2.6.14-r2
 linux-2.6.14-r4
 linux-2.6.14-r7
 linux-2.6.12-r1
 linux-2.6.13-r1

emerge -c ~sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14 \sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14


Exciting.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: reiserfs-ext3

I do something like this:

for x in /*; do
   if [ ${x} != /usr ]; then
tar zcf ${x}.tar ${x}
   fi
   done

for x in /usr/*; do
   tar zcf /usr_`basename ${x}`.tar ${x}
done

Then you save those files to another medium [i.e. cd, or another host
or hard drive or something]

format your root fs with the new fs, and copy those files back and untar.

Livecd:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/node
mount /dev/node /mnt/gentoo
cd /mnt/gentoo
[copy files here...]
for x in *.tar.gz; do
tar zxf ${x}
done

That's pretty much it.

Re: [gentoo-user] tunning use flag

gtk != gnome.  Gnome uses GTK, but so does XFCE, Gimp, Ethereal, etc. 
So, you may not want -gtk and -gtk+ in your main packages.  That said
Gogiel is absolutley correct.

Re: [gentoo-user] mirror email servers

 That's close to what I use. However, MX entries alone aren't the
 solution. You also have to configure the mail servers to forward the
 mail on to the final destination once it comes back online. I'm not sure
 how to do that myself, and don't really have to time to put much effort
 into it since my mail server is only for small scale personal use. I
 just use dyndns.org's Backup MX service:
 http://www.dyndns.com/services/mailhop/backupmx.html. Even if that isn't
 a solution for you, it's at least a place to start looking.


Patrick is correct here, if you can, use a third-party service.  They
will always (sometimes?) have higher maintenance standards than stuff
that you do.

However, this is _very_ simple with postfix.

MX for mydomain.com
mydomain.com mail is handled by 10 server1.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com mail is handled by 20 server2.mydomain.com.


mail server 1:
  Accepts mail for mydomain.com

mail server 2:
  Postfix, with
relay_domains = mydomain.com
mydestination  = server2.mydomain.com
maximal_queue_lifetime = 30d
bounce_queue_lifetime= 1d

 - Maximal queue lifetime affects how long it reties delivery.
  - Bounce queue lifetime will help alleviate problems with spammers
overflowing the bounce queue.

  # emerge -vp =gnome-2.14*

 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

 Calculating dependencies
 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy =gnome-2.14* have been masked.
 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
 - gnome-base/gnome-2.14.0 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
 # John N. Laliberte [EMAIL PROTECTED] (12 Mar 2006)

 #Don't unmask these and don't file bugs for them
 # Start GNOME 2.14 mask

 Did you the read comments here (d.g.o refers to dev.gentoo.org in case anyone
 is wondering)? I most certainly wouldn't go ahead and unmask any package with
 that kind of explanation why it was masked in the first place. What bothers
 me about this, however, is not the fact that you did unmask it but rather the
 fact the you leave a script here which is supposed to be able to unmask and
 unkeyword any package without giving any kind of warnings about this.

Yeah, so? *crickets*  Thanks, the d.g.o. was pretty clear, but I can
imagine that confusing people, the referenced document was next to
useless, did you read it?

 IMHO any script that is made public and which does what your script is doing
 should print out the reason why each package it unmasks was originally masked
 and perhaps even ask for confirmation.

I'm not a baby sitter, and we are using Linux.  However, due to your
concerns I will put in a warning, and add that as a TODO on my page. 
Furthermore, I have no idea what concerns you really have here. 
Nothing will format thier FS, it may Break Their Gentoo(tm).  I can
imagine all sort of evil here.  However, since I am only marginally
assist them, if they do something stupid, it's their own fault.

 Also I think it is a bit amusing that running your script without any
 arguments tells me that I should include the versioned name of any package
 that I want unmasked/unkeyworded. And then giving any kind of argument(s)
 makes it unmask/unkeyword gnome-2.14*. Without checking the argument(s) that
 I gave. I know.. it's just a minor bug. I also think (without knowing it)
 that it will in fact work for most packages when that minor bug is
 corrected. ;)

heh, thanks, It was very late last night, and I uploaded the wrong
version of the script, however, apart from the bugfix I added a
warning to keep people happy.

 It does, however, work for gnome-2.14.0 and it does add a LOT of lines to
 package.keyword and package.mask. E.g. media-libs/gst-plugins-base adds five
 lines to package.keyword i.e. version 0.10.0 to 0.10.4 on a line each. I
 don't think the results will ever differ on the first two version numbers so
 I think the optimal solution for this would be to just add version 0.10*. I'm
 not sure that it will never differ though.

Actually, that was one of my TODO items.  I think that there should be
two options, -L for latest and the default behaviour of more
conservative to pick the earliest package and install that.  Can you
submit a patch?

 Just for the record I am not trying to offend you here. This is supposed to be
 constructive critisism. ;)

Oh, I am not to worried about what other people think, and I never
pictured a warning being needed.  SO, hey, it was probably good for
someone.

I have been using it since 2000. I even use it for boot, but there is no reason for that. This year I began running most of my fs's in sync mode, except for highly active data shares. This has actually had very little impact at all. When I run upgrades, I remount async, but I have found that sync mode does not cause horrible slowness, and frankly kicks ass. I even run my desktops in sync mode. 
I have used ext2 tons, ext3 enough to dislike it, reiserfs and jfs. I have tested most all of them on production servers. Last year we re building a new database server with JFS. It is a dual opteron, and at length we ran into a few problems where we got no real errors, but JFS would spit out something random and remount the fs readonly. Memtest, this that the other - none of it worked. We ended up using XFS.
So, since we are on the topic of flame wars... and there is this random FS post, theres my two cents.Thanks, Joshua

The capabilities of it are vastly superior to ifconfig, and sometimes the notation is simpler.

Setup eth0, and activate it:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up
route add -net 0/0 gw 192.168.1.254

ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 brd 192.168.1.255
ip link set eth0 up
ip route add default via 192.168.1.254



There is a type of NAT [aka FastNAT] that you can use with iproute2 -
involving no iptables/netfilter support. You can setup multiple
defoult routes, rudimentary load balancing, and other stuff. 


For a better concept of the abilities of iproute2 - please see http://lartc.org
The Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control site.

Re: [gentoo-user] Need help with eth0 on new computer



It looks from the ebuild that net-misc/e100 was intended for 2.4.x
series kernels (*.o as opposed to *.ko).I would suggest running 'makemenuconfig' or similar and enabling e100 as a module from within thekernel tree.

I don't think that he built net-misc/e100... I think his module just didn't autoload. Did I miss something?

on other OS's you have to 'format' the RWs before you can mount them in packet mode. Is the same true for Linux?

For
the record, I'm not sure how I got it to work. I added hdc=ide-cdrom as
a boot parameter and noticed that I had a device like this
/dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0 I could use:/dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0 /mnt/cdrw udf noauto,noatime,rw,users 0 0... which I don't recall creating. How does this get made?Anyway, I can copy files to it like a drive now, but not as a user. Any clues?
