Donnie- thanks for the suggestion (guess I need to look through app-portage before I post next time). I'll check out these tools (though they are written in perl. I was thinking about using python) -matt On 10/26/06, Donnie Berkholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: m h wrote: >

Other than a text editor? I'd like to have a tool that can add USE flags on a per package or global level. (I'm doing this in some build scripts and would prefer just to have a tool, rather than sed or some other shell hackery). I couldn't find anything via a quick search on google. Here's my

Hey folks- (Shamelessly copied from my blog[1] )... I'm working on an open source tool for managing war files called warconfig (warconfig is/should be to wars as webappconfig is to php apps). We have a need for this at work. I have a pretty detailed write up here [2]. Warconfig is a tool for dep

Hi all- I've googled and RTFM for "SLOTS" which from what I can tell is this paragraph: With Portage different versions of a single package can coexist on a system. While other distributions tend to name their package to those versions (like freetype and freetype2) Portage uses a technology calle

Subject says it all. This isn't meant as flamebait. I'm running stable on my laptop and unstable on my desktop. It seems like most KDE release get better over time, so I'm just wondering what the process is with KDE? thanks -matt -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

George- Not sure if you have seen this or not. Check out Conary [1] from rPath. Think of it as Rpm+Ebuild+Distributed. It's done by some people who used to be at Redhat and in one of the whitepapers, they specifically mention portage/ebuild. -matt 1 - http://wiki.conary.com/FrontPage On 3/20/

I'm not a gentoo dev (just a satisfied user), but I lurk on this list. I was at PyCon last month. I would estimate that about 40% of the people there ran linux on their laptops. The most popular distros were gentoo and ubuntu. (Not this is not a scientific study, just my observations from talki

Hello- I'm investigating the similarities between portage and openpkg.  More specifically I was wondering if it is possible to take portage and install in on top of an existing linux installation in its own sandbox (similar to what openpkg does).  I've done some googling and found the documentatio
