AND someone tried to open a new bug with a new ebuild with the ncurses problem, and someone closed it marking it as a copy of the original bug, that hadn't nothing to do with ncurses (as you said, it started because of a slang problem with mc). If you think you have a solution, please tell us. not really (don't have GenToo, nor the time to maintain a copy). The bug report _seems_ to be heading in the right direction. Well, some effort is being done of making all systems UTF-8 system wide, for some reasons, and that's the way it should be. For that reason all of us: from developers, to package maintainers and users should make some effort of creating some kind of standard. It would be very easy for all of us if we forget narrow ncurses (ISO-8859-* and friends) and we try only to get working wide ncurses. I've heard (I'm not so sure, because I haven't developed for ncurses) that wide ncurses is compatible with narrow ncurses, and the ebuild that is uploaded in that bug should be interesting, from the point of view that makes symlinks from narrow ncurses to wide ncurses, so the apps linked against narrow ncurses won't be hurt (they shouldn't need even be recompiled), and the apps that support wide ncurses would work normally. As you say that the bug report seems to be heading in the right direction, but take in count when it was opened, and today it hasn't been fixed yet, so maybe we have to make a bigger effort to fix it.

[gentoo-user] ncurses seems to behave in a strange manner
Hi there, I've been wondering for a long time why is this happening, and I couldn't find a reason, so here's my question. When I sometimes use my Gentoo 2006.0 (or now 2006.1) minimal live-cd to do some tasks, I appreciate that if I enter into my root /usr/src/linux and run 'make menuconfig' ncurses paint lines perfectly, and everything is showed as should. I haven't got X installed, it is a terminal computer. When I run (now in my system, not with live-cd running) for example 'mp3blaster' [ncurses based app], or 'tmsnc' it looks as if there not redrawing as they should. But there is more: I thought that maybe it was a problem of those apps and that they weren't as polished as they should, but when I run 'make menuconfig' to update some kind of thing of my kernel, I see that all those lines that were showed smoothly with my live-cd now are malformed and dialogs are just ugly, and not pretty. I am using vesafb-tng, with a ~x86 system. I do use bootsplash (well, splashutils and friends), but if I don't load it [I have another grub option that does not start it] it happens the same. I don't know what issues are happening into my ncurses libs. Thank you for your attention, Rafael Fernandez Lopez. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] what's exactly --deep for ?
From man emerge: --deep (-D) When used in conjunction with --update, this flag forces emerge to consider the entire dependency tree of packages, instead of checking only the immediate dependencies of the packages. As an example, this catches updates in libraries that are not directly listed in the dependencies of a package. To sum up, portage will look for updates not only in your world file, but on dependencies too. Bye, Rafael Fernández López. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Things that can be improved

I know that lots of you don't know dpkg-reconfigure, well, it will write the /etc/whatever.conf file for you asking you in an interactive way what do you want to do. I'd compare it to some package's ebuild /usr/portage/whatever/whatever-0.0.1.ebuild conf. I would add a mark for packages that can be configured, as there is a mark for UPDATE, NEW, RE-EMERGE, FETCH... I'd add another one like C for ebuilds that admit conf option. As someone said here before, EMERGE is a not interactive tool (if we don't take in count --ask), but in general it is not interactive. And we can assume that anybody stays in front of monitor all the emerge process, so I'd suggest to print information (or warning) messages in a more efficient way, for example: AT THE END OF THE EMERGE PROCESS, not at the end of each package emerge process. I think that PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES, PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM and PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI is not so necessary if all messages are printed out at the end of the global emerge process. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEr6UAWFfYaTyFH8oRAisJAJ9rzuxt/wKJPAvXoCdU9d4JcCoIkACghuPf xEju9eUjrUPsOG7HMnM7F9A= =cqyw -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Things that can be improved
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, This is not flame war. I love Gentoo, and it is the distribution that fits me perfectly, but I've been wondering this last year what things can be improved in this wonderful distro. The first thing that I'd change is etc-update or dispatch-conf. I'd suggest to create some kind of tool like dpkg-reconfigure in Debian. More intuitive than reading /etc files and writing them by hand that is more probably to be mistaken when writing. Second thing that I'd improve is a security one. I know that emerge is a very cared package, but it is a script. Suppose that someone commits portage with a emerge failure in its code (he forgot a comma !!)... if someone updates portage won't be able to update it again because it will fail ever and ever again... So I suggest to have a backuped emerge script that we are sure that worked (like the last emerge tool that was used), and if the new emerge tool is mistaken (so that user doesn't need to know python) only has to run regenemerge for example, and will have the latest emerge working tool.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] AUTOTOOLS
Sorry but my english got worst (you know, 'if you don't use it, you lose it'). I'll start again and maybe you'll understand me better: My problem is that I've been downloading some QT apps (KDE apps) to know how autotools code is written (I read the manual, but I need some practising or reading code). All 'big' apps that could have some strange structure (like amaroK) that I've downloaded have been written through KDevelop help, and I don't want an automatic Makefile. I'll use IDE's when I know how to write it by my own. So, as I've seen, KDevelop copies all files (*.cpp, *.h and *.ui) to src path. Well, I'm pretty organized, and I like to have src/gui for *.ui files for example. All Makefile.am that I've seen suppose that all sources and *.ui files are in src, so they have something like: bin_PROGRAMS = amarokapp SUBDIRS = \ amarokcore \ $(SQLITE_SUBDIR) \ analyzers \ [...] INCLUDES = \ -I$(top_builddir)/amarok/src/amarokcore \ [...] amarokapp_SOURCES = \ Options1.ui \ Options2.ui \ Options4.ui \ Options5.ui \ Options7.ui \ Options8.ui \ actionclasses.cpp \ app.cpp \ [...] METASOURCES = \ AUTO Well, in this case it's pretty easy, because all necessary files for building amaroK are on src. My question is: If I have a path like src, and inside it I have another directory called gui. (src/gui), then Makefile.am inside src/gui should be like this? noinst_LTLIBRARIES = \ whatever.la noinst_HEADERS = \ header1.h \ header2.h whatever_la_SOURCES = \ main.cpp \ METASOURCES = \ AUTO With noinst, because my objective is an unique executable file, and no libraries. Would that be correct? My problem is that it seems that there is no trouble in compiling process, but it seems that when it is going to link it fails, and it throws me some vtable failures (if you want I can write them here, but I've got some and different, because I've been changing my test code depending on what errors I have been getting).

[gentoo-user] Autotools
Hi, Since my question about Autotools was pretty bad explained, I'll sum up it into a question: I'm searching for a manual (not autotools manual from gnu, because I had already read it and it is not enough) that explains how to use autotools with QT apps (METASOURCES = AUTO), and so on... I wouldn't like to use any IDE's, just nano and terminal. Thanks, Rafael Fernández López. pgpYKOYgkUa26.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] [OT] AUTOTOOLS
Hi, I'm downloading some KDE apps source code to know how Makefiles.am are pointed. I've become surprised because I've seen that for example, amaroK has been developed under KDevelop. I have been searching a bit and I can't find any QT app that use METASOURCES = AUTO, and with its Makefile hand-written (no IDE). I'd like to know if there is a way for creating 'acinclude.m4' and Makefile.am automatically by console (no KDevelop) if we know that that app will use QT (or KDE libs). I have seen that all KDE apps include acinclude.m4 that starts with something like This file is part of the KDE libraries/packages... But what I could see too is that if we create a simple KDE project under KDevelop, my configure.in will be VERY SIMILAR to amaroK's configure.in, so I'd like to know what console command does KDevelop run to generate it (because I tried to search it for, but no results). It was strange for me to read this: # Original Author was [EMAIL PROTECTED] # I lifted it in some mater. (Stephan Kulow) # I used much code from Janos Farkas in my configure.in self-generated by KDevelop. Why an automated script that generates configure.in is going to add to every package this kind of comments? Well, that was my question... is there a way (a console command) to auto-generate acinclude.m4 and configure.in? (I suppose that acinclude.m4 won't change, and I can copy that), but in that case, how can I generate configure.in?

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] AUTOTOOLS
Oh, another thing that I didn't tell you: I'm an order maniac. When I start a project, my src directory has lots of subdirectories like 'base', 'gui'... and so on. I've seen that is almost a MUST to keep ALL *.UI FILES (from QT) in 'src' (at least KDevelop wants it). That is one of the reasons because I would like to write my own Makefile.am. But lots of questions came to my mind, like if I have something like: myproject src gui base sounds [...] And my objective is only an executable (no .so...) is it necessary to go on creating *.la files for each directory (and portion of code) to get them linked at the end of the build process? I had some vtable errors from GCC that I had never had before (because before I used to write my own Makefiles) [no autotools].

[gentoo-user] [OT] What about a new file system subtree?
Hi, Since I have started a project that needs to be redistributed (it'll be GPL) I've started to deeply read Autoconf and Automake manuals. Well, I had read some of FHS too, to know what I should do and what I should not do with my file hierarchy. But, what came to my mind (maybe it's possible today) is that we could make a new file system subtree in every ~. For example, a user will be able to do a ./configure ; make but if the system is well-administrated a user won't be able to run a make install, since it can cause problems to the system. (I know we, Gentoo users, don't care about that). But what I wanted to say is that if we are not root (typical case) we could do a ./configure ; make ; make install (in an app called 'whatever') and it could create for example /home/me/bin/whatever and /home/me/share/doc/whatever or /home/me/doc/whatever, and so on. That would be great since a normal user won't infect any root filesystem, and an administrator can fix any tricky problem deleting /home/me.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] What about a new file system subtree?
Is [OT] marked because it has nothing to do with Gentoo.

[gentoo-user] Por qué eres tan maravilloso Gentoo
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Buenas, Pues esta vez no escribo porque tenga ninguna duda, ni porque tenga algún problema relacionado con mi sistema. Sencillamente, escribo porque quiero mostrar mi agradecimiento a todas las personas que hacen posible un sistema como es Gentoo GNU/Linux, que brindan su esfuerzo y tiempo libres en poder permitir que todos seamos iguales y que lo que nos diferencie no sea el dinero, sino las ganas de conocer y de aprender, una curva maravillosa. Desde hace tiempo vengo defendiendo muy fuertemente todo el pensamiento GPL así como las licencias CC (Creative Commons). ¿Por qué puedo tener yo un libro que valga 80 euros [y tener acceso a ese conocimiento] y alguien que no tenga esos 80 euros no pueda tener acceso nunca a esa información? El conocimiento es un bien común, que interesa se expanda, y que se debe compartir, sin apartar a nadie del acceso al mismo. Dejemos que el conocimiento se expanda y nos inunde a todos, es algo que nos beneficia de lejos. El tiempo nos ha dado la razón. Un sistema privativo no es más seguro por el hecho de tener el código oculto [de hecho se ha comprobado experimentalmente xD]. Se han podido desarrollar sistemas como Samba o Wine, que sin saber nada a priori [sobre el código] se ha permitido emular, otro punto a favor de las mentes abiertas. En definitiva quiero agradecer a todas las personas que se toman un minuto para ayudar a otros con su conocimiento, por escaso que sea. Quiero agradecer a todos los developers que se preocupan de que lo que tienen entre manos sea de una calidad como lo que todos nosotros tenemos instalados en nuestro disco duro, y también quiero agradecer cómo no al maestro Robbins su genial idea de un sistema tan particular como Gentoo. Como última nota, es como un sentimiento que tengo acerca de Gentoo, no se si lo compartiréis. Me ocurre con Gentoo y LFS (Linux From Scratch). ¿Por qué Gentoo y no Debian u otra distro? Porque para mí es como ir a un restaurante y que me sirvan el vino en la mesa, que lo abran delante mía. Es una cuestión de educación. Prefiero que mi sistema se baje el código, aplique parches (según directivas que YO controle, y nadie más), y me cree la aplicación a mi medida.

This time, I do write simply because I want to THANK all people that makes possible a system like Gentoo GNU/Linux, that brings their effort and free time to make us equally (in rights). There have past time since I defend GPL and CC licences. Why can I have access to a book that costs 80 dollars and someone that hasn't got that money can't have access to it? I think that knowledge is something that everybody should have free access to. Is a good (and a right) that should be expanded, and nothing best than this kind of licenses. This is good for everybody. Time agreed with us (with those that defended free knowledge). Privative software is not safer because of hidden source code [it has been tested experimentally xD]. It has been possible to develop apps like Samba or Wine, without knowing any Windows source code, only testing and hearing, this is a point for free minds. So I want to thank all the people that takes a minute helping others with their knowledge, doesn't matter how much it is. I want to thank all developers that takes care of their packages, and making them as good as we have installed right now (excellent quality). And I'd like to thank master Robbins his idea of a particular system like Gentoo. I'd like to say something that is like a feeling, I don't know if you'll agree with me. This happens me with Gentoo and LFS (Linux from scratch). Why Gentoo and not Debian or other distro? Because for me is like going to a restaurant, and they serve wine on your table, opening it in front of you. Is a matter of education. I prefer my system to download source code, apply patches (with diretives that I can control, and no one more), and make for me the app. For me a binary packages system is like if in the restaurant they open the wine bottle in the kitchen, instead of in front of you.

[gentoo-user] gentoo-sources
Hi, An idea came to my mind. I'm a proud Gentoo User, and I see day by day how portage gets clever and how my Gentoo distro does work better everyday. I'm gonna make a very little proposal (maybe it's now developed, but I've no idea how to make it work). Since Linux Kernel has become so big (almost 300MB) I'd like to suggest something. I don't want to download newer versions of Linux kernel, because my computer does work perfectly with the current one (maybe I'll install a very later one, but I'm not going to change my 2.6.11 with a 2.6.14). I don't want portage to download them, nor install them, because always that portage downloads and installs them, I've to do an emerge unmerge, it's a lot of space disk, and I need it. If I set gentoo-sources in package.mask, the apps, libraries that depends on it won't install, and an emerge -vuD world will fail, and won't update other packages. Well, if it's a critical dependance I'll have to install new kernel version, but If it is not, why?.

[gentoo-user] ext3: 10% non-contiguous
Hi, Each 20 times that my hard disk is mounted, my ext3 partition (is the only one that I have) gets checked for inconsistencies. On the last times that that task has been runned, it tells me that ~ (more or less) the 10% of the filesystem is non-contiguous. I suppose that the problem is that I've saved and then deleted some files really big, and there's a hole. Well, I'd like to recover those holes (that 10% of the disk) and how to do it, because I've tried with e2fsck with different options and read man e2fsck with no possitive results.

[gentoo-user] nvu, mozilla designer: why such behaviour ?
Hi, I'd like to develop an entire web site. It'll use LAMP (Apache+MySQL +PHP). Well, the tool that I'd like to use is nvu for example, I consider it a powerful application for designing web sites. Before, I had used NVU for designing *.html web pages, and I see now that when I save my *.php web page, then when I open the OPEN DIALOG and select it, NVU tells me that WHERE I WANT TO SAVE IT, instead of opening it for editing. There's no such behaviour if the ext. is *.html or *.htm, but my pages are *.php.

Re: [gentoo-user] About ATI drivers in X.org 7
Well, my opinion was (and is) to wait. You aren't losing anything and you're winning stability. Sorry, I meant X.org 7 instead of X.org. Obviously, I knew that X.org is in portage !! ;) Bye and thanks !! 2005/10/7, Holly Bostick [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Rafael Fernández López schreef: Hi, I've read something somewhere that have amazed me... Is X.org developing new ATI drivers, better far from ATI.com ? Yes and no... I think what you're talking about is most likely the open source r300 drivers (similar in effect to the open source 'radeon' kernel drivers that are available for the 9500 and below). More information can be found on these drivers here: http://r300.sourceforge.net/R300.php As far as I know, although the r300 project's code is available to X.org (and in fact has been accepted into the CVS tree), the project itself is not associated with, or rather is separate from, the X.org project itself. If that's affirmative... We will be able to use Damage extension (and Composite extension) with ati rendering ? No idea, since I don't know what the Damage extension is/does, and afaik the Composite extension is not yet complete or stable, so it doesn't 'matter' whether it works atm-- ATI themselves don't want to 'waste' resources on supporting Composite until it's done, so I can't imagine that the Open Source project is going to focus on it yet either (having less resources and information than ATI themselves). And when is X.org going to be able on portage ? As noted on the r300 site, 'The latest source code is available directly from Xorg, Mesa and DRM CVS trees.' I would assume that 'the Xorg, Mesa and DRM CVS trees' are the development trees for modular X.org (X.org 7, is that?). Ebuilds for these are available in Portage, they're just hard-masked. Myself, I'm not prepared to touch them with a 20-foot/metre pole, but perhaps you are. If not, then it would be better to wait until upstream stabilizes a release, and the ebuilds stabilize to at least ~arch. Perhaps the Xorg site has a target date for the next release; I haven't looked. I would at least imagine that their development mailing list would give a better idea as to how close to release they might be. I'm happy to wait, but that's just my opinion, and it's your choice what you decide to do. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Saludos, Rafael Fernández López.
