[gentoo-user] GHC and documentation
Hi, I just checked that GHC has no use flags other than doc. My first question is: can its documentation be generated without having to compile ghc? Shouldn't its documentation be included as a different package? (ghc's doc use flag pulling ghc-doc as a post-installation dependency). Cheers, Ivan. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] dev-haskell/network
In the official portage there's a package called dev-haskell/network. It does absolutely nothing (it even says that). Why is it there? What is the purpose of having that package if it's not a virtual package that, btw, ghc could provide? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Sound card problem
Yesterday I was sent [1] a new kernel config through this list that solved the main problem I was suffering. A new one has shown up: the kernel module i810_audio detects my sound card.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel hangs after detecting the hard disk
Looks like I've come with a different situation now: I installed Ubuntu in a different partition, it works fine. I took it's kernel's config and tried to recompile gentoo's with it. Things are a little better now, but looks like it cannot find /dev/hda2 (my root partition) nor /dev/sda2. Since no root can be found, it cannot boot, and remains asking for the root password. If I log in, I cannot access my files in any way. I don't know why. On the other hand, I also tried to boot Gentoo using Ubuntu's kernel by setting root=/dev/sda2 (Gentoo's root partition) instead of root=/dev/sda3 (Ubuntu's). It goes perfectly (it even mounts the root partition), but stops after trying to remount proc (it cannot be mounted because it has already been mounted) since it's considered a critical task. Any ideas? Shall I send the new kernel config as well? btw, is there any web site with a huge database with config files or parts of them for different hardware, distributions (if applicable), and kernels? (I already did my homework trying to find it) If not, I think that would be a great idea.

[gentoo-user] Kernel hangs after detecting the hard disk
Hi again, I'm having another problem, this time it's a kernel related problem. I'm currently using kernel 2.6.13, and most things work fine. However, when I try to update to a newer kernel (say 2.6.17 or 2.6.20), my laptop hangs after detecting the hard disk. If I don't use initrd, it stops when udev is loaded. I decided not to submit my different kernel .config with this email, I don't want to bother anyone. In case you think I should send them (since that information above is not really meaningful), tell me and I will. Any ideas? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I tried reviewing the kernel documentation, but couldn't find anything about it, and my new kernels can't get through the whole boot process all times (most of the times, they just hang the computer after detecting the input devices).

But I really doubt your case is the same as mine, I guess the problem is somewhere else. Maybe you should try to see what package owns those directories (equery might be handy here), where is the variable that points to /usr/share/emacs/site-something set, what value is assigned to it, how it is calculated,...

[gentoo-user] Problem with kernel 2.6.18-r6
Hi there. I'm having a problem with kernel 2.6.18-r6. My laptop hangs during boot, right after detecting the mouse and the keyboard. it doesn't matter whether I enable initrd or not, dies anyway. No kernel panic, no oops messages, it simply freezes. The funny thing is that sometimes it keeps running a little more (detects the hard disk, sometimes even the dvd drive), and 1 in 100 times, everything works fine and it boots normally. I'm currently running kernel 2.6.13 and everything works fine (despite the things that need >2.6.13 to work). I attach my kernel config, maybe someone knows what I'm doing wrong.

[gentoo-user] Problem with kernel 2.6.18-r6
I'm having a problem with kernel 2.6.18-r6. My laptop hangs during boot, right after detecting the mouse and the keyboard. I doesn't matter whether I enable initrd or not, it dies anyway. No kernel panic, no oops messages, it simply freezes. The funny thing is that sometimes it keeps running a little more (detects the hard disk, sometimes even the dvd drive), and 1 in 100 times, everything works fine and it boots normally. I'm currently running kernel 2.6.13 and everything works fine (despite the things that need >2.6.13 to work).

The main point is that, in my opinion, that feature should be included in emerge itself. Your line has a problem: it won't skip the first package in your line, it will skip only the first package to be emerged, which may be a required dependency to build another package, propagating an error in one compilation to later compilations. Even worse, some package could get installed without one of its dependencies. Ivan. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
[gentoo-user] Telling emerge to continue when something goes wrong
Hi, After installing Gentoo in different machines several times, I wonder if is there any way to tell emerge to keep installing as much as possible even when something goes wrong. Here's an example: emerge stuff1 stuff2 stuff3 emerge says "the following packages will be emerged" and so on. Alright. Then stuff1 fails to compile. I'd like emerge to continue trying to install stuff2 and stuff3 when possible. I know I could write several emerges in different lines (something like emerge stuff1; emerge stuff2; emerge stuff3), I just feel like this feature should have an option of its own in emerge (i.e. --keep-going-as-far-as-possible). This could be very handy when updating world or, in general, when the emerge is going to take a lot of time and you decide to leave, expecting everything to be merged when you come back. I'm posting this here before going to gentoo-portage-dev or other list to know what you think and to try to write a better suggestion.

[gentoo-user] USE flags and configure-time problems
Hi there. I just happend to emerge evince and, after half an hour got the following error: 18:07:32 (44.99 KB/s) - `/usr/portage/distfiles/evince-0.6.1.tar.bz2' saved [1212271/1212271] * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking auxfile checksums ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking miscfile checksums ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking evince-0.6.1.tar.bz2 ;-) ... [ ok ] * Please re-emerge app-text/poppler-bindings with the gtk USE flag set !!! ERROR: app-text/evince-0.6.1 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1626: Called dyn_setup ebuild.sh, line 701: Called qa_call 'pkg_setup' ebuild.sh, line 38: Called pkg_setup evince-0.6.1.ebuild, line 67: Called die !!! poppler-bindings needs gtk flag set !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. I understand why this happend, and I know how to solve it. My point is: should the RDEPEND and DEPEND syntax in ebuilds be changed so that this kind of problems can be detected before emerging? Here's an example. Imagine program A depends on B, and if A is built with use flag "dvi", then it depends on C to be built with use flag dvi2. The following could be A's DEPEND: DEPEND="dvi? ([dvi2 C]) B" This is just an example, and I'm sure there's a different syntax that could be more appropriate. What do you this of it? Is there any ongoing implementation to solve it in a different way? Cheers, Ivan. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
