[gentoo-dev] Re: Summary and future of Gentoo stats server/client
Hi, Sebastian Pipping : > If you have any questions or complaints please let me know. That was quite impressive, especially after you told me on LinuxTag that you have problems to focus on a task. Stats is a quite important piece of software for some developers and finally we are able to use the tool. Please go on and develop it to a usable state so we can announce it to a broader audience (20 sets of data are not enough). Unfortunately my other tasks don't let me contribute more actively to your little program. I would like to hear from the other students how far work went.

[gentoo-dev] Unmasking of libxcb 1.4 and related libs in !2008.0 profiles
Hi all, Just a quick heads up that I have just unmasked x11-libs/libxcb-1.4 and its companion libraries in all profiles _except_ 2008.0. As some of you have already found out, since 1.2, libxcb stopped shipping a very specific library: libxcb-xlib.so. This library was only ever meant to be used internally by libX11, but due to libtool's infamous .la files, the removal of this library may cause some headaches during the upgrade. Here are a few steps to fix the breakage : 1) make sure that /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.* are gone. Portage 2.2_rc* users _should_ remove it as well. 2) run /usr/portage/x11-libs/libxcb/files/xcb-rebuilder.sh to fix .la files. If the tool reports broken packages, please read on. If not, lucky you, your system is ready to go :) 3) run the following one liner to rebuild a simple, yet effective, subset of potentially broken packages. Do not worry, packages you don't have installed will not be installed. emerge --oneshot --nodeps \ $(for i in x11-proto/ x11-libs/libxcb x11-libs/libX11 x11-libs/libXext \ x11-libs/libX x11-libs/xcb-util x11-libs/cairo \ x11-libs/pango x11-libs/gtk+ gnome-base/libgnomeui \ x11-libs/qt-gui; do \ qlist -IC $i; \ done) -pv 4) use revdep-rebuild (from app-portage/gentoolkit) to finish fixing the rest of your system. I hope those instructions are clear enough. If not, please don't hesitate to let me know. Oh and if someone with sufficient guidexml skills could xmlify these instructions, I would be very thankful :) Thanks for reading this. Rémi
[gentoo-dev] Re: Progress on Universal Select Tool
Hello, Regardless that firm pencil's down date has come for this year's GSoC as discussed with my mentor I will continue coding. These final weeks will be split between coding, documentation, sample module creation and polishing. Also a live ebuild creation is in progress. Comparing uselect with eselect: * uselect is much faster (even with lots of modules) * uselect can already use (in a very ugly way) all eselect's modules with a copy/paste step. It's still faster in this way. * uselect menu is much more user friendly even though it's based on eselect/ecletic. * uselect has a general user-profile schema (using a ~/.uselect/ folder). * uselect does not have a base function libraries as eselect does. uselect objective was to create a simple framework that needs no logic coding within modules. * uselect can be easily expanded with more action classes with not much coding as we are using an object based language with great inheritance features. Uselect is far from ready, but it's current state (besides usable) is "presentable". What do I mean by presentable? Uselect and Uprofile are a Proof of Concept of what both can be. I was expecting better interaction and belief in the Universal Select Tool project during all SoC. As most ideas/suggestions were purely based on necessity and not on community-wide contribution as suggestion for new action types templates a very solid and flexible framework was not achieved. A solid example (symlinking modules) is fully supported either user-wide and system-wide. A fine structure for .uselect folders and .uprofile folders was not strictly defined as it is a very decisional matter for general gentoo usability. Automatic module creation during emerge is not possible without major changes to ebuilds due to the lack of a list of "to-be-installed" files (there are ugly workarounds, but none are worth implementing). Module's API is very simple and can be easily changed from plain python to json or a similar markup language. Uprofile (as current concept was not in my initial proposal) is strictly a proof of concept of the interaction beween uprofile and uselect's API. Once documentation and examples are done uselect and uprofile will be ready to be presented to the gentoo community and to be discussed within gentoo's decision organs. It's been great to be working with gentoo. I hope that this tool gets integrated in gentoo and I am willing to continue developing it after SoC's end. Thanks to everyone that helped, especially my mentor bicatali, people at gentoo-dev@ and gentoo-soc@ and a few unknown folks at #python that helped me solve complex python class mutation problems and recursiveness paradoxes (this was the real deal). Will also continue posting weekly reports on gentoo-soc@ until soc ends.

Hey Rémi, Next time, mind running echangelog in the appropriate directory? It help us look at a glance for what files are changed and rsync users can't see commit messages. Thanks, Jeremy

[gentoo-dev] Diff between Funtoo and Gentoo as an overlay
Hi there!
With the GSoC deadline behind me I took the liberty to put a few hours
into something Funtoo-related that I've been wanting to do before.
Funtoo's tree is a melting pot currently combining ebuilds from the
trees (from [1])
- gentoo
- mpd
- perl-experimental
- sunrise
with
- Funtoo-only ebuilds
- version bumps
>From a Funtoo perspective it makes sense to keep it all in one
repository. Still, wouldn't it be nice to have ..
an overlay with stuff that's available in Funtoo only?
I've been working on a tool ("funtoo-ripper" [2], written in Python) to
automate dissection and keeping a dedicated overlay ("pure-funtoo" [3])
in sync. Commits are done automatically, triggering and pushing is
manual at the moment.
A nice pure-funtoo summary will be auto-added to
http://gentoo-overlays.zugaina.org/pure-funtoo
soon I guess.
I hope this overlay enables collaboration on a level that was
technically difficult so far. I'm curious how it turns out.
So long,
Sebastian
