Hi! I'm trying to get the emerge logs mailed to my user. Problem is that I've set postfix to listen only on unix sockets (i.e. it refuses tcp smtp-connections) and I want it that way, for now. One solution would be PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="custom" and do some "mail -s"-magic. I don't know how port

Hi! Just wondering if there's anyone out there that has managed to install two copies (with different compile-options) of the same version of a library? If so how did you do it? The reason I'm asking is that I have 'audacity' installed and it requires 'wxGTK 2.4' built without the 'GTK2'-USE f
