Hey Gentooers,

Something pulled in ruby, I know not what.
What commands show me what installed packages have ruby as a dependency?

NFS also works, you can use any old distro, they all have the tools. So
Gentoo or Ubuntu-12.04 or current Fedora, whatever.
Do the usual - PV all the drives, add them to a VG and create an LV.
For encryption, you must decide if you want LVM to do it, or the filesystem
- choice is yours.
I would advise not to put / in that VG. Rather boot off a small drive or
USB stick then all your drives are a full PV

You can normally build as yourself. Install requires root typically due to

You can probably come up with a clever way to do this, but by far the
easiest is the classic:

- use the fsck tool on that system (which is independent of your main

Yes, you *could* fiddle with your initramfs to provide a shell and fs
tools. How often are you going to use it or test it? As you are not

It's a simple matter to limit which versions of iptables can be used
with each version of connman. Tracking that, and making changes when
they become known, is what being a package maintainer is all about.

setuptools seemed to think I had a useable python-3.4

It is not unreasonable to conclude that blueman-2.1 intends to add
features that conflict with gnome-bluetooth and they can't co-exist. As
Vadim said, file collisions are often the underlying cause.
You unmasked an alpha package, clearly tagged as "for testing". Nothing
add abut the result you got at all.

iler out muchly.
Add to that your i7 is RAM-constrained so you compensate with swap,
which is easily 50,000 times slower with sucky latency. When you use a
disk as RAM, performance tanks. Well, usually it causes a cascade effect
and stuff blows up, but if it completes it will have done so slowly.
If you at all can, shove lots more RAM in that i7. These days RAM is
cheap and it's always by first performance tweak, then SSD.

bug on b.g.o. backed up with I was thinking.
It built fine with this in package.use:
=dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.9.3 -system-ffmpeg -system-icu
Yes, I did do it, favoured bundled libs instead of system ones. But I
was also having similar issues with bundled vs system ffmpeg for kodi,
and this was the easiest way to get past it and finish a 17.0 migration

fore trying emerge -e @world.
You must do emerge -e @world first, it tends to fail (always fails?) if
emerge world indicates there is something to be built.
So just emerge -e world, then do a depclean. The first step is going to
take long enough and increase your heating bills so much, that the extra
work of a few packages is not worth the stress of worrying about.

I recommend you take the entire output of which you quoted a part and go
through it line by line, figuring out why it's there and what it is
telling you. You only have to do this once to get a good handle on it,
and you will be very glad you did in the future :-)

t. No-one complains about /usr/share/doc and the
large number of docs there, many of which are larger than all the
systemd unit files combined. Or what multilib setups end up doing in /lib
It makes engineering sense to install all the various init system's unit
and scripts for all packages, t
by itself, is probably the largest single
security advance in all of computing history. Everything else is icing.
There is nothing in Unix really that is "secure by design", and all von
Neumann machines are actually insecure by design

Reading only this thread, it looks like an upstream used a horribly
incomplete scheme for distribution that isn't even ready for launch.
And yet they distribute using it.
I would be questioning why I'm using that upstream's project at all, and
find something better by an author with more clue.
Am I missing something?
