Hi,
An addition to the above suggestion: try out some of Gentoo's hardened
projects: RSBAC or SELinux.
Some months ago there were a testing install (public-access) of an
RSBAC-system (adamantix == Gentoo-RSBAC) with user access to the machine
and the goal was to hack/attack it and bring down the machine. Lasted
quite a week, nobody broke in.
At the end there were logs, info etc.
Something more, during the last one/two days a Security Advisory was on
a way to public and before releasing it the author tried it on the
machine - no luck (he succeeded only after asking the people running the
test to disable a feature) all this info was only announced after the
advisory went public with patches.
So this project has some protection against new bugs too.
PS: think there is a public SElinux machine too, or at least there was.

Hi,
GCC is slotted so you can have both 3.3.5 & 3.4.3 (i have them too).
See gcc-config package which is a dependency of GCC-any-version.
Just run 'gcc-config -l' in order to list/see all available versions,
"gcc-config -c' outputs the active one (gcc-config --help). To change
the active gcc use: "gcc-config 1|2|3|..6| ..9 depending on how many gcc
versions/sub-vers. are there.
Didn't had any problems with both 3.3.5&3.4.3, IIRC there are some new
CFLAGS in gcc-3.4.X  (mtune ?) which could be put in 'make.conf' but
overly there're no problems with any of them.
For about half an year 3.4.x is stable for me (kernel too).

Hi,
Think it's a bad idea to use the default kernel-config from the
install-CD, because it includes too many features, modules in order to
boot/work on quite every system out there, the kernel will be too big
with many unused things and eventually w/o some things which you need.
To get a working X i booted from Knoppix-CD and just copied it's config
to use it later, no acceleration but it's working. Later you could
profile you kernel (read the help items in it).
First time it took me 1-2 hours just to config my first kernel, even
after that there were some omissions but not major ones, even now my
config is evolving. Have agpgart and sis-agp and my kernel-config to get
3D (nvidia).
Having active 3D in a generic-config is very rare IMHO, the install CD
is just to get you going.

Hi,
Better to use 'hardened-sources' (former 'hardened-dev-sources') if it's
available on AMD-64 profiles.
It includes vanilla-sources + grsecurity v.2.1.5 IIRC.
Of course it's up to you to config it (the kernel) as you like, Thus you
save time/problems with a custom kernel-patch part.
There's nothing wrong to make all this yourself, could additionally
customize some things. Choice is your's.
PS: haven't checked but think not all things are backported to 2.4 even
less to 2.2, evolution is very dynamic here.
Again the choice is up to you, gentoo is just giving you the tools
(better or worst) to do it.

Hi,
Some time ago there was a testing release for apache2-ebuild which
separated apr/apr-utils from apache2 and aimed to make apache-config
more consistent with upsteam, but think they (devs) got many problems
with some other packages depending on apache2, so now there are (not
sure here) two versions of apache2 - old-style and new-style, the
new-style has apr outside apache the old inside. Just my info here.
Check ML archive for more info.

Hi,
Think that you're using two *not* equal ;) versions despite version
numbers being equal.
Look/search for "apache-package-refresh.html" file don't have the link
right now.
Shortly said some months ago apache herd made changes to the apache2
ebuilds in order to bring them more closely to upstream config policy.
They separated "apr & apr-utils" in separate ebuilds and added mpm-*
USE-flags to apache ebuilds.
Later think ;) it turned out that some other modules/packages (ex.
mod_php, subversion ?) working on top of apache broke or didn't work as
expected so think ;) they reverted the stable branch to the old-style
config, while trying to get the testing (now) branch (~x86) to work
correctly, seems despite the versions having equal version numbers
really they *are* different.
Remember that all this is in the doc (see above).

Hi,
You mean you can't download the sources? Better wait a little bit and
then try again, propagating changes through mirrors could take some time.

Hi Nelly,
It all depends on what you wanna do. Generally speaking there are two
main choices for sending a mail.
*First* install your own mail-server (sendmail,qmail,postfix) or
*second* install some minimal server which will forward the mail to a
relayhost/mailhub (your ISP) - ssmtp,nbsmtp etc. Second choice is lot
easier as a start.
Just read the official gentoo-docs about mail, quite all needed info is
there (incl. ssmtp,nbsmtp install, usage).
nbsmtp is in portage so you only have to run: "emerge nbsmtp -pv" then
grop the "p". You're not *required* to install sendmail to have a
working mail setup.
Just sharing my experience here (i'm using qmail).

Hi,
The original src files and some of the patches are in
/usr/portage/distfiles, some other small patches are in ebuild's files
subdir.
If you want to see the sources while compiling/installing check "man
ebuild" (ebuild unpack,compile,install,qmerge,clean).

Hi,
Check if e100 is compiled as module or is build-in (the kernel).
Run "lsmod" as root to see available modules and then to load "modprobe
e100".
Have you customized your kernel-config or just used the default one
(genkernel).

Hi,
In the beginning suggest not to top-post when replying to a message
(unofficial policy here).
Never done that (using generic config), i always config my own kernel
and genkernel options (when using it ;)
Running "genkernel --menuconfig --install --udev --bootsplash all", but
you may choose less options, just leave '--menuconfig --install all' for
the config,compile,install part. Or just manually config/build your
kernel (in the docs).
The initial config file is taken from
/usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 and the used/resulting (at
the end) config in /etc/kernels/ dir.
Think that netcard config is somewhere under Networking options,... -
don't be afraid, to get more out of your box you'll have to do some
changes yourself, take your time read the help check the options etc.

Hi,
You can get info about your net-card from your mobo's specs or easier
running "lspci" or "lshw" commands as root in a terminal (lshw is a
separate package, and lspci is part of pciutils package).
Unless you know your net-card brand/model you can't config/use exept by
chance.
Use your current system or boot from a Live-CD (install CD or Knoppix,
other) and run: "lspci".
Then (for e100) in your kernel-config go to:
->Device Drivers -->Networking support --->Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
> Inter (R) PRO/100+ support.
Make sure it's ON [*] (or [M] for a module).

Hi,
Using loop-aes to encrypt my swap-partition and another small partition,
which now i mount manually, but this also could be make (with 1-line
script "mount /mnt/crypt") in local.start.
Just look at the loop-aes (in portage) and the docs. The site is, i
think - loop-aes.sf.net, but check again.
Another way is with dm-crypt.

Hi,
Think your first problem is that you are mixing php & mod_php they are
different things.
Please run: "emerge php -pv" and post the output to see what version you
have if any.
PHP isn't slotted, so you could have either 4.3.x or 5.0.x (testing
version).

Hi,
By using gcc-config which is a dependency for gcc.
Run "gcc-config --help" to check the options.
IIRC after emerge the newer version becomes the default one, but that

Hi,
Had this problem too, even more clamav (x86) wasn't working with
qmail-scanner at all.
Went to ~x86 and it works. Maybe 0.85.1 should be made stable, not just

Hi,
By memory try: 'emerge package-name -K' for unconditionally installing a
binary package, or use"-k" (small 'k') to install a binary only if it's
available, if not install from source. See "man emerge"
Usually binary packages are in '/usr/portage/packages/All/...'

Hi,
Not using subversion, only read the book (about subversion as pdf), also
installed it some time ago, later reinstalled everything (now have it
emerged but still don't use it ;)
IIRC there is a command to repair the repo "repair" or other, could try
it, before going to CVS.
Read (this ML) the next version of subversion will use fsfs by default.
*OT* some projects are switching to subversion (KDE by memory), your choice.

Hi,
Think that "/etc/portage/..." thing serves to hold portage override
settings.
So if you wanna change some of the default portage/profile settings,
which are in /usr/portage/...,
this could be done throu use of /etc/portage/... settings.
System-wide default settings are in: /etc/make.profile (customizable),
throu change in profiles.
Just like the dot.apprc files (in home dir).

Hi,
The answer *is* above, also emerged busybox and later as it didn't
depend on anything checked the system with "emerge depclean -pv". The

Hi,
Think "hald" was a typo it should be "hal" (hardware abstraction layer ?).
By memory i'm using fam/gamin which is "file alternating manager"
(correct here if wrong), or 'gamin' which is still testing-masked
(~x86). This is part of gnome management i think.
First comes "dbus" on top if which is "hal" and at the end - "ivman" (or
'gnome-volume-manger').
Just checked that 'dbus' doesn't depend on fam/gamin. So it's
dbus-->hal-->ivman.
All this works OK, just may be it doesn't show 'new' devices on
KDE-desktop (also had problems with floppies, don't have now), but works
with CD/CD-RW/DVD/DVD-RW, USB (my experience).

Hi,
This happens sometimes, might be incomplete file on this mirror, or some
error on transmission.
Try deleting the file from /usr/portage/distifles and trying again, if
you receive the same error, try later (some hours).
If after a day this happens again, first get the sources from primary
source (kde.org) and put it in 'distfiles', or file a bug.

Hi,
Agree with the two reasons pointed above (use separate /boot/), would

Could also help for a easier rescue usage.

Hi,
Have/had this problem/issue too, received a warning about missing
/etc/init.d/serial during boot phase.
Emerging "setserial" must have fixed it, haven't rebooted yet (to check).
Think this began after installing the new baselayout which beside this
works OK.

Hi,
Just checked for 'libosp.so..' (not found error above) and on my system
it's in:
 /usr/lib/libosp.so.4.0.0 (it's version 4 BTY)
Using 'qpkg' found that it belongs to 'app-text/opensp-1.5.1" (on my
system).
Later using 'dep -r openjade' found that 'opensp' is a dependency of
openjade,
which is a dependency of 'docbook-sgml-utils'.
opensp--->openjade--->docbook-sgml-utils.
So could try rebuilding first opensp, then openjade then try again.
Could also check with 'revdep-rebuild'.

[gentoo-user] portage behaviour

[Rumen Yotov]

Hi,
Seems that portage is getting more and more clever ;)
For some time after emerging or unmerging a package, had to rebuild some
packages which had a dependency (USE-flag) on that package. Ex. added
'postgresql' and had to rebuild some packages which have such flag.
Yesterday replaced 'fam' with 'gamin' (unmerged fam) and today have to
rebuild 'courier-imap' with "-fam' USE-flag.
Result: now using 'emerge -DNu world -ptv' to check my upgrades (-N ==
--newuse). x86-system with some ~x86.

Hi,
Revdep-rebuild is in portage-package, as '/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild'.
It's a shell-script, no need to compile it, just to unpack/place it.
You could copy the new one over the old one (make a backup first).
Later check the flags/permissions etc.

Hi,
When i first replied had some suspisions about revdep-rebuild being in
'gentoolkit', so checked with "qpkg -l portage | grep revdep-rebuild"
and there it was in portage, should have listened to my inner voice and
checked by: "qpkg -f -v /usr/bin/revdep-rebuild" - result:
app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre2.
So it's 'gentoolkit'. Seems that using: equery,qpkg,etcat could
sometimes give different results ;) (what about qfile).
@Holly: haven't checked but remember the patch is to get portage.py
correctly check the new vars introduced by revdep-rebuild, i think it
must by applied using "patch".

Hi,
Check if you have '/etc/portage/package.unmask' dir&file, if not create
them 'mkdir /etc/portage', then 'touch /etc/portage/package.unmask'.
Second run 'echo "www-apps/wordpress" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask'.
Now should have 'www-apps/wordpress' inside then file (it's unmasked now).
Run "emerge wordpress"
That's all.

[gentoo-user] bash question

Hi,
Quick question: is "functions" a reserved keyword/word in bash (ver.3)?
Looking at a strange error about missing " ' " | unexpected EOF.
The bash-script is loaded in vim and "functions" is colored as a keyword.
Could look at it myself but will take too much time (have to look at
bash !!!).

First thanks.
It's not mine, just trying to get it to work.
Here's the line:
...
. ${ROOT}/etc/portage/bashrc-modules/core-functions.bmod || bashrcdie
"Failed to load core-functions module"
...
Looked at all opening/closing signs ('|") all is OK, so think about
"function/s" as it's used as a module name.

Hi,
As for some time i'm using "loop-aes" i always have to load the module,
(done in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6).
Do you use the in-kernel loop interface but loop-aes.
A strange thing though, yesterday emerged 'new' util-linux-2.12q-r1
(~x86) and saw that it fetched some version of loop-aes, file:
loop-AES-v3.0c.tar.bz2. Haven't looked at the ebuild.
As i'm using 'loop-AES-v3.0b.tar.bz2' checked the site (on sf.net) and
the version there was still 3.0.b.
Know that to use loop-aes you have to have a patched util-linux >=
some_version.
Maybe it's being integrated or

Re: revdep-rebuild and -bin packages (was Re: [gentoo-user] Disk usage?)

[Rumen Yotov]

Hi,
Maybe a better way is to emerge hard-masked "gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre3"
(cause it's only tested on x86).
In it there is a new version on 'revdep-rebuild' which allows you to
mask certain dirs, by using (mine):
...
SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="/home /mnt /opt/sun-jdk /opt/vmware/lib /opt/OpenOffice"
...
For more info search for 'revdep-rebuild' on Bugzilla. There one with a
new version (attached)
Think it is the same? version of revdep-rebuild as in the hard-masked
gentoolkit.

Right, but.the errors within revdep-rebuild are not irrelivant to
a user who's just run revdep-rebuild and has to sort through a number
of errors to decide what to do. My point was that I'd like to know how
my copy of oo-bin was built/linked so that I could (possibly) set my
systems up so that everything is 100% cool.

It's only slightly frustrating to deal with that. Not a big deal. And
since oo-bin hasn't crashed on me in quite awhile it would seem that
whatever the dependency issues are they aren't serious.

Mark

Hi,
Have the same DVD-RW and it works with k3b.
Looking in the messages, think about some things:
1.Check if you have support for your mobo's chipset in kernel (LBA-message).
2.Make sure to enable 'DMA' for your drives (see hdparm) WFM. For me
speedx2 = speed-6.
Since i switched to DVD-RW can't write ISO-images using "cdrecord"
(CLI), but haven't investigated much.
Also haven't tried "growisofs' from the command line. It must work as
k3b is a wrapper IMHO.

Hi,
This is one of the two binary places i read about, think (check) this
one has packages build with -fstack-protector and it's more appropriate
for hardened-users.
There's another one in some dev's place (checked it's *avenj*) but it
holds only packages for rescue operations.
PS: chinstrap at the moment is also unavailable, due to technical

Hi,
Some time ago, on this ML there was such question/s.
Remember there were some syntax (in grub/lilo) to load one net-card
first the other second.
Just search the list-archive.
The card/parameter is given as kernel-loading value.
Or easiest as pointed above, use modules in desired order (haven't
checked this).

Yes, it's pgp/mime, by memory this is the newer format which allows you

Somebody correct here if needed. Old format is pgp/inline

Have pgp/mime configured, but currently don't use it, use certs instead.
Easier for me too.

Could use it that way, only important thing to do IMHO is to generate a
revocation certificate for the key.
And if something/sometime happens you'll be able to revoke this key and
generate a new one.
After a key is revoked on checking it a message tells that the key is
invalid/revoked (check here).

Some time ago had/used a self-signed cert. Only drawback is that
you/other people can't verify it to be sure it really belongs to me.
Because of this later generated a new one and send it to
"www.cacert.org" which signed it to verify my email identity, etc. The
trick here is that in order to check it you have to import their root
cert (from the site), because in most browsers there are only root-certs
of the commercial CA providers. CAcert.org is free to use.

Hi,
This answer is a little bit by memory only, but true IMHO/experience.
Go to http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html (original site, a bit outdated now),
www.netqmail.org or qmail.org.
There are much docs there, or better search/google for QmailOnGentoo.txt
document, it's very good (-r13).
In qmail no mail is sent to root - it's always sent to some other
account - see the docs in sites above.
The setup is done in /var/qmail/alias dir using .qmail-account_name (ex.
".qmail-root") in which you put a user account (existing) which gets the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mail. Then in this users ".maildir" directory you get
root mails.
As far as i know, one major difference in qmail-1.03-r15 vs
qmail-1.03-r13 is changed place for /etc/tcp.smtp* to
/etc/tcprules.d/qmail-tcp.smtp* plus some new patches (breaks parts of
qmailctl script).
Now (in -r15) there are more then 20 patches (this against vanilla
qmail-1.03).

Re: [gentoo-user] qmail-r16 is sending mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Rumen Yotov]

Hi Yousef,
First thing qmail-1.03-r16 *is* masked (testing in my profile at least)
-r15 is the stable version.
Maybe (if possible, don't need something from -r16) you should try -r15
first.
Now checking and saw there are 24 patches against vanilla qmail-1.03 in
-r15 and 28 patches for -r16.
You could check them in
"/var/portage/mail-mta/qmail/qmail-1.03-r1x.ebuild" (there are only two
15,16).
Also could change/remove some patches by commenting them in an ebuild
copy in an overlay dir.
As you are already using qmail check and use only these patches which
you need.
More one point, i like the way gentoo builds/uses qmail, but most ML
(qmail-list) require to install it by following LifeWithQmail so as
there are some differences you could have problems later.
Can't help you more as i use qmail as personal mail-server and don't use
much of it's power, a pity.
PS: suggest you stop top-posting as it's not very appreciated with this
list ;)

Hi,
openoffice-bin-1.9.109 is in portage only being in testing (~x86).
To emerge it do: #echo "app-office/openoffice-bin ~x86" >>

Then 'emerge openoffice-bin -av' to emerge it. Haven't checked if it's

Hi,
One way to go is search in Bugzilla, but if there's nothing about this
see below.
Just checked and that're the dependencies: opensp ---> openjade --->
docbook-sgml-utils.
So could try re-emerging 'opensp', then 'openjade' and again
"docbook-sgml-utils". Or just openjade.
Vaguely remember about such problem on this ML not long ago, could
search for it.

Hi,
Maybe rebuilding "mplayer" through portage will have the same result.
Think you could have a look at 'revdep-rebuild' (man revdep-rebuild).

Hi,
Some time ago a mail (here) suggested to put
"http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo"; as the last entry in /etc/make.conf
explaining this to be the main/parent gentoo mirror site. Have it in my

Using two tools to handle this.
First is "enotice"-tool, search for it don't have the link now.
Second as was already mentioned is: PORTLOG_DIR in make.conf.

Hi,
Previously when i went to baselayout-1.11.12-rX, on startup received a
warning about missing "serial" something.
So just to be on the safe side re-emerged "setserial" and forgot about
this warning. It's: "sys-apps/setserial".
Also think that i don't need serial, but will check this later (when
have enough time ;).

Hi,
Have used both genkernel and manual-kernel-config, quite no problems
with both (except genkernel on hardened ;)
Think that you must manually give the options you want, ex."genkernel

The manual one is easier, less options ;) see install guide, kernel

Hi,
At least two packages depend on libgsf so when one wants to ungrade it
"wants" version 1.10.0 while the other depends on: >=libgsf-1.12.0, but
that's only one scenario. Try "emerge -DNu world -ptv" (see -t | --tree
option).
Maybe the newest libgsf is 1.12.0 while some app depends only on a lower
version: 1.10.0 also possible.
Check w/o "-D|--deep" option for second case.

Hi,
Recently there was such discussion, only about the default USE-flags (in
current profile).
By memory the solution was: "-* only desired USE-flags here, ex. alsa
crypt readline ..." in '/etc/make.conf'
"-*" disables quite all (only all optional w/o the required ones) and
turns ON the USE-flags following it.
PS: watch out there are 2-3 flags which are absolutely required for a
sane system, check ML-archive (readline is one).

Hello Holly,
If you read the threads, I start out trying to k3b working. I have 
not used
cdrecord, so it's quite possible (statistically probable) that I'm 
doing something way stupid here


so I tried:
cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -eject speed=2 -pad -data -v *.wav





cdrecord: Inappropriate audio coding in
'18133194218-14129220407-05-18-2005-11-42-.wav'.



OK, two things occuring to me (though I can't say I know anything 
about this):


1) I was asking originally what the coding of the audio file actually 
was (meaning check it in mPlayer or some other audio player that will 
give you the details of the file itself)-- is it stereo, is it 44100 
or whatever cdrecord wants, etc? It might also be useful to verify 
that it is in fact a .wav file and not some other kind of audio 
encoding that's just *named* with a .wav extension.


2) But now that I've seen that filename, I'm wondering, "What happens 
if you rename that file?" to either a) something shorter (maybe there 
are too many characters in the filename, if you don't have Joliet 
and/or other special options allowed that would let you use such a 
long filename), or b) to a filename that doesn't have a - directly 
before the .wav (I've seen it happen that applications of various 
types, K3b among them, choke on filenames with "weird" characters in 
unusual places, or c) both a) and b) .


HTH,

Hi,
Just my experience here. Recently changed my CD-RW with a DVD-RW drive.
Had some old cdrecord-scripts with worked with former but now doesn't

Hello,

/usr is the only partion I seem to have trouble filling up. After
poking around I've decided to 'prune' /usr/portage/distfiles.

Before automating this action, via crontab, I'm soliciting
any other, slicker/cooler/better method to auto prune
/usr/portage/distfiles.

What I have done manually is:
EMOVING LARGE FILES IN /usr/protage/distfiles:
find ./ -size +10  -exec ls -lag {} \; | less   

find ./ -size +10 -print -exec rm {} \; 


again:
find ./ -size +5  -exec ls -lag {} \; | less
find ./ -size +5  -print -exec rm {} \;
again:
find ./ -size +2  -exec ls -lag {} \; | less
find ./ -size +2  -print -exec rm {} \;

REMOVING OLD FILES IN /usr/protage/distfiles:
find ./ -mtime +180 -exec ls -lag {} \; | less
find ./ -mtime +180 -print -exec rm {} \;

Running these commands manually caused the 
/usr/  dir to reduce from 88% full to 55% full.


Looking at the proposed lists of files to be removed, gave
me some confidence that it was OK to remove the files.
Suggestions as to better logic that I could integrate
into a script is welcome.

Before  hacking these commands into a script, I'd be interested 
in comments and ideas(a better mouse trap?) better logic, 
like progressively running the commands unti the disk space 
threshold is below 60% full or something.

Hi,
Going by memory here, but think it's correct ;)
Check about FEATURES="... distclean ..." in your /etc/make.conf, IMHO 
this is a FEATURE which allows you to clean/erase the source files after 
an emerge.
Or use /var to hold your portage-tree (make.conf&ln -s /usr/portage 
/var/portage ;) (i'm using this setup).

Hi James,
Googling for "DVD-ROM SD-R2412+linux" showed me that it's a combo - 
DVD-ROM&CD-RW.
Now looking at some page from Norway with some CLI scripts, can't get 
the language tough ;)

Når det er gjort kan du i mitt tilfelle kjøre følgende kommando for å 
brenne image’et over på CD:


cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=ATAPI:/dev/cdrom filnavn.iso
...SKIP...
Dermed har du en fil ved navn track1.wav som er klar for brenning. 
Sannsynligvis vil du ha mer enn et spor på audio-CD’en, så det er bare å 
gjenta prosessen med andre filnavn (f.eks. track2.wav, track3.wav, 
etc.), og f.eks. kopier dem til en mappe ved navn ~/audiocd. Deretter 
kan du, mens du er i mappen ~/audiocd/, kjøre:


cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=ATAPI:/dev/cdrom -pad -audio track*.wav
...END...
Choose not to remove the comments, there are more pages and it seems to 
be working.
Sorry no experience with combos (only with pure CD-RW and DVD-RW) but 
used all kind of tools:
command-line (cdrecord, but not with DVD-RW to write CDR), k3b and 
nautilus-cd-burner.

Quite easy, just edit "/etc/etc-update.conf" before running "etc-update".
Change "diff-command=diff -uN %file1 %file2" and "using_editor=0". Later 
could run it in text-mode.
Or use "dispatch-conf, it makes a backup of the updated files in

Don't have any new idea, but could you check if there are some

Hi,
No experience with 64-bits, but a USE-flag in () means not supported by

Hi,
In my previous post forgot to mention that the "freetype" library is
slotted, usually you have two versions installed.
On my system i have: media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 &
media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1 and FF depends on 'fontconfig' which in
turn depends on: >=media-libs/freetype-2.1.4
media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1 (second entry is my version).
Usually when using "emerge category/package" it emerges the latest
version (corrections accepted here) but could try re-emerging the minor
version. The syntax here is: "emerge =category/package-version -v". Also
search Bugzilla.

What do you mean by "Hans is a weird person."? Do you know him
personally or did you just "read it somewhere"? I only saw a video
lecture with him talking about namespaces and filesystems (he seemed
perfectly normal there at least). And I use his filesystem
(reiser3.6), which has worked perfectly for over 3 years on my
laptop. How likely is it that he would have committed such a crime?
What motive would he have?


read the lkml archives. read the current blogs about how Hans is 
conducting himself in a court of law. Read his statements to the police 
when questioned about his wife's disappearance. Read his defense. Read 
his website.


What comes out of that? Hans Reiser is a typical geek who has a problem 
seeing the same reality as the rest of the world. It's very common 
amongst geeks, and we can mostly spot it a mile off. It's not rocket 
science.


I also use ReiserFS-3.6 and it is a very good filesystem. That is one 
thing. There is this other thing, which is the ability to musrder 
someone, and that is totally unrelated to the ability to write 
self-balancing filesystem metadata trees.


Any associated opinion between his skill as a coder and the likelyhood 
of his having murdered or not murdered his wife is an illogical opinion 
in extreme.



That sounds like the perfect way to harm the free software community.
Make some important person's wife disappear. 


You must be new here.

Hans Reiser? Important? I don't think so. In the general scheme of 
things he's about as important as ESR.


If you wanted to bring free software into disrepute there are many much 
more likely targets:


Linus, Alan Cox, Ingo, RMS, drobbins, Theo, Andrew M, Patrick V, Miguel, 
David R.


Is there any 
organization out there who would do something dirty to harm us if

they could get away with it? How trustworthy is the Russian police?
Is the Russian legal system working satisfactory?


Look at the case itself.

Hans has a distorted view of reality as seen by the rest of the world. 
His wife is apparently a bitch of note. That's motive #1.


You want a likely suspect for who could have framed him? Try the 
disappeared wife's current boyfriend. Tons of suspicious actions 
there - read the court records, it's all in there.


This whole court case is entirely explained by human greed and emotion 
in marital affairs. It is not necessary to involve free software to 
come to an entirely reasonable explanation, in much the same way that 
the Enron CEO's hobbies do not feature in the explanation of the 
collapse of Enron



Hi,
Just a note here, using reiser4 for 4-5 months, no problems so far.
Patches are more difficult to find but not that much.
More choice is better IMHO.

Too bad that 'oldconfig' isn't always working :-(
Specially from something 2.6.17-18 to > 20.
Manually check your kernel config (enable NAT etc)
IIRC the netwoking sections moved, so much stuff is disabled by default.
Also recompile iptables, just to be on the safe side.

At a closer look i foult out that this is related to gnome-vfs. If you

machine is clean in terms of emerge -DuN world;emerge
--depclean;revdep-rebuild. However I am left with one strange package
that doesn't exit. I'm thinking sys-libs/-MERGING-pam is left over
from some emerge that possibly failed and would like to clean it up. I
does exist in /var/db/pkg but I've never touched anything in these
dirfectories by hand so I'd like to know the right way to go about
this.

   The other few packages that failed in eix-test-obsolete allowed an
emerge -C but this one doesn't.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Just remove (or move it somewhere) the whole directory:
#rm -rf  /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/-MERGING-pam-0.99.8.1-r1
Probably left from some error while merging pam.
Then test again.

Hi,

Had similar problems with neon library which interfaces svn with http://
The testing svn seems to have some new USE-flags 'webdav-neon'
Try downgrading to stable to see if it works.
Some wild guesses here but HTH.

Hi,

genkernel uses a default config-file, check
/usr/share/genkernel/arch/x86/kernel-config.
i've backed it up, changing it to current .config.
Works always (haven't used it recently though).

Hi,
Try exchanging thunderbird with enigmail in your /var/lib/portage/world.
Do it manually, no problem as one of the duo is in world (+crypt
USE-flag).

Hi,
Looking in the thunderbird ebuild:
PDEPEND="crypt? (>=x11-plugins/enigmail-0.95.1 )
So if PDEPEND <> DEPEND it should re-emerge enigmail after an update.
enigmail just DEPENDs on TB.
But agree that this might not work.

Hi,

I had some very strange problems with Davicom net-card, but only with
2.6.21-r4.
Both 2.6.20-r8 & 2.6.22-r2 work flawlessly.
The connection breaks suddenly (suspect some ACPI issue).

Hi,

Does revdep-rebuild report something to rebuild ?
Could try with previous version (of revdep-rebuild), check the ebuild.

But i check with check_linkage.rb script (from paludis).
