[gentoo-dev] asus acpi
Hi, I get an oops using asus_acpi. I can post the output later. If I use asus_acpi as a module, I get the "oops" once the first time I load the module. If I "modprobe asus_acpi" again, it works(!). In case I do compile asus_acpi into the kernel, I get kernel panic (I guess this covers the behaviour that something fails first). - I use a Samsung P35 Laptop - my kernel is compiled for Pentium-M (tried x86 either) - use 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 Again, can post the oops later (don't have it on this machine). Is this a known issue (as I read a lot about acpi problems). What version works? Do I have to pass module options? Please consider I'm not very familiar with deep acpi module stuff. cheers, Hen -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Out of curiousity, has any put any thought into some automated method

such a completely automated thing is a bad idea ... detecting and warning
though isnt a bad idea ... too many issues such as config files may need to
be upgraded or maybe a config file was edited but admin doesnt want to
restart the service just yet, etc...
This could be an optional feature such as FEATURES="restartservices". The
CONFIG_PROTECT functionality could remain as is. Portage could use a special ebuild
variable to determine whether the previous and new ebuilds have compatible configuration
file formats (similar to EAPI) and only restart the service if they are compatible.
this probably falls under the pkg_{pre,post}inst gathering code bug ... but at
the very end of an emerge process, i think that there should be a summary of
packages which were upgraded and have a running init script ... detecting
whether a given init script is running is trivial, just ask us base folk on
irc and we can point you in the right direction

This feature could live happily alongside the other one.

[gentoo-dev] USE flags groups
I see that the USE flags list is very big today but I don't know if it's growing too fast. So, I may think that someday Gentoo will need some mechanism to facilitate USE flags configuration. I suggest the creation of a "USE flags grouping mechanism" to help the decision making of configuring make.conf when doing initial setup or somewhere else. For example: If we want a web server with Apache, "PHP with all functions" and MySQL we could place one single flag like AMP (Apache+MySQL+PHP) on make.conf, or if we want a desktop machine with full support to imaging and media encoding we could place one single flag like "MULTIMEDIA" on make.conf and voilá. I have lots of friends that hates taking hours selecting "packages" during other distributions installations or configuring things like this (that takes very long time to see every option/flag) and I think idea this could bring a very quick Gentoo pre-install. What do you think? PS.: Sorry for my "english"... -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

There are still some problems in the handling of negatives, but the idea has been discussed a lot. Personally I'd really love to have such a feature ...

Re: [gentoo-dev] USE flags groups
Wow... It's exactly the same idea! I do not had any idea that this already exists! Not even the GLEP. I'll take some time reading it and maybe contributing to it. Thanks! I'm very proud with the Gentoo dev community! Really impressive job!

There were at least two long discussions about it, but no satisfying results. It needs to be resurrected at some time, but definitely after the next major Portage version and in a broader context, imho. Carsten pgpKexLyqLVzL.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-dev] xemacs needs a dev
Ladies and Gentlemen, xemacs herd is orphaned while rac is away. I asked rac if he knows someone who might be able to care of the bugs -- but go no reply til today. So do you use xemacs and want to take care and help searching for a new dev? Can the emacs people help for a some time? -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
