Ok, it's about 2:45 AM, I thoughtlessly did something absurdly risky, resize a chromium browser pane by clicking on the edge of the window and dragging it a few pixels, so naturally X11 goes down taking my number theory code with it. Reminder: I had run that code from May 1 through last week and only voluntarily rebooted my machine....
############## GAH!!!! dev-util/meson:0 (dev-util/meson-0.52.0:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with <dev-util/meson-0.52 required by (gnome-base/dconf-0.32.0-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^ ^^^^ ############# So I decided to do an emergency system update and reboot the damn thing completely and hopefully things would get a little better. In this state, my frame of mind was to just keep hitting the damn thing with the heaviest, bluntest object I could get my hands on until I got it to work and I could go to bed... I gave up at 4:15 am... My goal is a 3 AM bed time... Basically I was being fast and ruthless with emerge --unmerge, clearing useflags, masking crap, etc... I did not do anything I regret today but still... (also, the goddamned fake indian recruiters who only try to get you to agree to let them represent you in your job negotiations with some random company in some random state had called me ten times that day, and another 7 times today for that matter... I found that if I emphasize that I'm on the virge of a nervous breakdown they might, reluctantly remove me from their database but usually they just laugh...) I've spent a whole day wrestling with it at this point. CHROMIUM WILL NOT LOAD AT ALL. It fails a good 30 minutes into the build, the packages involved are quite archane... Ninja?!?!?! V8?!?!?!? My theory about chromium is that the release frequency seems to be faster than the time it actually takes to build the thing. I think they do this to avoid bug reports as they will be ten versions further on by the time any actual bug reports make it back upstream... The only way this could be possible is to run builds across maybe a dozen machines in a datacenter, starting a new build every 30 minutes and then releasing the ones that complete... KDE is similar, in that the releases are much more frequent than any conceivable development cycle for that number of packages. Many of which are probably being version bumped just for grins and giggles... Damnit guys, give it a rest until you've made stuff like Akregator actually work without crashing...
