ChangeLogs became useless if only part of developers fill them. Just to remind. There are per-arch ChangeLog, base profile ChangeLog, features ChangeLog and for other stuff ChangeLog: /usr/portage/profiles/base/ChangeLog /usr/portage/profiles/arch/sh/ChangeLog [snip other archs ChangeLog] /usr/portage/profiles/default-bsd/ChangeLog /usr/portage/profiles/embedded/ChangeLog /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/arm/ChangeLog [snip other archs ChangeLog] /usr/portage/profiles/hardened/x86/ChangeLog /usr/portage/profiles/features/ChangeLog /usr/portage/profiles/ChangeLog Thus whenever you change anything in arch profile, or in base or features subdirectory use relevant ChangeLog. For other changes like local USE flags documentation, masking/unmasking/updating masks (not comments :)) use /usr/portage/profiles/ChangeLog.

[gentoo-dev] Gentoo Council 2008/2009 Elections - You may vote now.
Hi guys, The voting part of the election has just started and will last for next two weeks (until July 4th, 23:59 UTC). In case you forgot, here are the rules: All active Gentoo developers are eligible to vote. To do that, you should login to dev.gentoo.org and run the following commands: 1. votify --new council2008 - This creates a new ballot in your homedir. 2. Edit the .ballot-council2008 file and rank the candidates. 3. Once you're sure, run votify --verify council2008 to check the validity of the ballot. 4. If that goes through fine, the next and final step is to submit your vote using votify --submit council2008 5. If you're stuck, use votify --help or go to #gentoo-elections (on freenode) and ask officials for help Good luck and thank you for all your votes. Kind regards, Łukasz Damentko
Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: Removing .la files...
Hi folks, why not just introducing an "staticlib" useflag: when disabling this, all the static library stuff is kicked off. For those libs where the static stuff is needed, just leave it enabled.

I'm happy to keep quietly maintaining my ebuilds and let the people whose packages I package come up with the new stuff. You don't seem to be, so perhaps this isn't the right place for you to contribute? ~ If you do want to contribute, perhaps you could consider the environment you're working in, and be more accommodating to it rather than fighting against it? The environment is a large part of Gentoo's problem. The focus needs to be taken away from the 'community' (where community means a bunch of Ubuntu users who make lots of noise on the forums) and put back into delivering a decent distribution. But people will never agree on where to draw that line. While Mike wants "a friendly helpful environment, where simple questions are most often met with patient answers and people are given the chance to learn, improve and help out where they can", you want everybody to be 100% proficient. Now, here's the point: if only those people ever spoke who are 100% sure that they're 100% proficient, there would probably be only 1-2 people left to discuss an issue. That is not just shutting out "a bunch of Ubuntu users who make lots of noise on the forums" (I don't think that's an adequate definition for 'community', btw), but also lots of experienced users and actually most of Gentoo's developers. Additionally, you can have such a discussion in private. You say you're trying to improve Gentoo. Fine. You say you want to do this fast. Fine as well. But you have to realize that fast won't work without support from your user base. After all, most Gentoo users aren't here to just to use the great package manager. They want to understand their system. (If they didn't, they were off to use Ubuntu/... anyway.) But now here you come, saying "Great new feature, has to be that way, won't explain to all of you uninformed people." I don't want you to explain every bit. But if someone raises a concern or has a question (and I expect him to have thought about what he's saying before doing so), you just continue acting like that. So, how can you possibly expect any support? -- Thomas Pani -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
