[gentoo-dev] Scheduled maintenance downtime for svn.gentoo.org: Mo (Today), 19 UTC
Hi devs, due to the expat and curl upgrade I need a downtime for svn.gentoo.org. After the upgrade of expat at least apr-util and subversion need to be recompiled in order to work correctly again. curl will not cause such an impact as there is only one package on that machine which depends on it: git. And AFAIK only the devmanual is hosted with that VCS. As I don't expect that the upgrade will take a long time, I set the downtime to 19 UTC today. That will be in roughly 3 hours. During that time you are not able to use any svn-command on svn.gentoo.org.

Last night some of us infra-folk had a chat in #gentoo-infra about this commitlog-mailinglist. solar stated that the ammount of messages in the dev-mailboxes was the reason to shut down that list some years ago (I have to fetch my archives to prove that -- AFAIR we only had troubles with the script, as CVS moved away from our dev-box with local mail-delivery to a dedicated server).

[gentoo-dev] Script for easier stabilising of ebuilds
Hi devs,
my fingers were tired of typing the same things over and
over again when I stabilised an ebuild. So I wrote the
attached script which should take away the work.
Now I only have to attach the bug-number and optionally an
ebuild with atom version. If there is no second argument,
the script tries to resolve the wanted ebuild from the bugs'
summary (like app-portage/gatt-svn does). The script also
makes use of www-client/pybugz for an appropriate
bug-comment and removing the given arch from the bug. It
can also close the bug, if you see that no other arch is
listed as Assignee or on CC.
It might also be possible that you can use the script for
mass-stabilisation in a for-loop, but I did not test that
case yet. Probably that's a nice extension for a future
version, where you can attach a list of ebuilds, which
should be stabilised.
Comments are welcome!
Regards, Lars

There are two guys named who will help when there is an error in the file during commit ;-) But back to the question you started your message with: The outdated project-pages. My opinion is, that GuideXML is not the blocker for updating them. It's more a menpower issue.

While we are at it: Should we keep installing the config
into /etc/ipsec/ and create symlinks from /etc/ipsec.d ->
/etc/ipsec/ipsec.d ? I think we are the only distro which
installs the configs into /etc/ipsec, some others place
ipsec.{conf,d,secrets} just into /etc

Now, cdrkit is in the tree. Furthermore I added cdrtools-2.01.01a08 to the tree. That's the latest GPLed version of cdrtools. We never had that version in the tree (we did a move from a07 to a09), so it's ~arch currently. metalgod and I will reactivate the cdrtools-virtual, so that we can include more and other possible applications for cd-burning into portage.

[gentoo-dev] ppc32 meeting summary
Good evening, the ppc32 team had a short monthly meeting tonight. Discussed topics: 1) kernel for 2006.1 We will include the 2.6.17 kernel for the 2006.1 release. There is one issue with the Marvell NIC on the Pegasos left, but including that driver as a module will not hurt anybody by default. The kernel-configs will be sent to the ppc-list for review. 2) 32-bit userland profile on ppc64 We should announce any change to our ppc32 profile to the ppc64-team, so that they can keep their 32-bit userland profile in sync. That includes sending our meeting logs to the ppc64-team. 3) misc Where are our ppc-developers? We went through the devalias and found some inactive devs. Currently we are 10 quite acvite and 15 kinda inactive or supporting devs. Probably we should remove them from the devalias?

[gentoo-dev] Last rites for some CD/DVD-recording applications
Hello, I would like to remove those packages from portage: app-cdr/cdrecord-prodvd: Functionality of DVD-burning is now officially included in app-cdr/cdrtools. app-cdr/dvdrtools: Same reason. No need to use this fork of cdrtools-1.11... virtual/cdrtools: With the remove of dvdrtools there is no longer a need for this virtual. app-cdr/xcdroast: A nice rustical application, which reminds me to my first CD-burnings on Linux... But there was no upstream update within 2,5 years. Also there are now a lot of other gtk2-based applications which are bettter than xcdrtools. rox-extra/roxiso: Unmaintained package, but it depends on app-cdr/cdrecord-prodvd. On the other hand, I just installed it, and it fails to start due to a missing library... It seems that all rox-packages are unmaintained now, as the maintainers resigned or are not available. All packages are in package.mask. I will remove then in 30 days when there is no good reason to keep them.

Hi, the Gentoo/PPC team had a meeting from 19UTC until 20:30UTC. topics: 1) toolchain switch for 2006.1 2) other upgrades for 2006.1 3) open discussion We decided to make a toolchain-switch for 2006.1 and upgrade to gcc-4.1.1 along with glibc-2.4. Quite all ppc devs made tests with that toolchain during the last months and reported only some slight issues with strict-aliasing. It's possible to compile (quite) everything without any further stable-version bumps in the tree. Every application with strict-aliasing-issues should be fixed in the ebuild by adding -fno-strict-aliasing to the CFLAGS. As every arch beside x86 is affected, this does not need an 'if ppc'. And even on x86 there are no problems with adding this option. If there are newer versions of applications in the tree which are fixed by upstream already, they should be preferred and marked stable. Any other application should be reported upstream beside the fix in the ebuild. We will create a new 2006.1 profile with the new toolchain as default. The 2006.0 profile will mask >=gcc-4 and >=glibc-2.4. So we can stable gcc-4.1.1 and glibc-2.4 stable on ppc now and let users test when they want. The 2006.1-profile will be considered as testing until release. Furthermore we want to extend the gcc-upgrade-guide, as we can't use gcc-4 with glibc-2.3. Therefore the user need to follow a special upgrade-path. Another upgrade for 2006.1 might be Xorg-7.1. ppc does not rely on any binary-driver which is affected by the ABI-change. This version of X has been tested by several developers and found to be stable. But we need to check Donnie's opinion about that move. A pro-argument would be, that users have to do one big change with 2006.1 (toolchain, X) and can rest for a long time. A good upgrade-path for Xorg-7.1 is needed for the users who won't to install their system newly. kernel-2.6.17 is another candidate for stable with the 2006.1-release. This gives a lot support for the last ppc-series of Apples Laptop series and even native WLan with all AirportExtreme cards, a long-term wish by many ppc users. There are some problems with genkernel and mostly the Pegasos (broken Makefiles due to the ppc32/ppc64->powerpc move in the kernel), but the result would just be no initramfs on the install-media (and so no framebuffer-splashtheme). Like with 2006.0 we will deliver a minimal and a universal InstallCD, stages and a GRP-set for ppc-generic and G4. agaffney is working on a graphical installer CD for experimental and probably the embedded-team will provide a netboot-image. Our current ppc-stable-tree is in a good shape. Only OpenOffice needs a bump. For other open bugs a bugday like in the old days, when several team members worked collaboratively on the open bugs, should be hold in the near future. In the end of the meeting we talked about upcoming events in Central Europe this year where we could meet again. Suggestions are the Wizard of OS 4 in September in Berlin, LWE Europe in November in Cologne, or the 23rd Chaos Communication Congress in December in Berlin.

[gentoo-dev] 2006-01-15 PPC meeting summary
Summary of the ppc-meeting on January 15, 2006, 19 UTC. == 1. 2006.0 release == profile: * currently located in default-linux/ppc/dev/ppc/ppc32/ * small generic ppc profile * G3 and G4 sub-profiles with "desktop"-use-flags and CFLAGS-optimization * new: nptl on all profiles (needed a glibc-fix) We will release: * generic ppc stage1, stage2, stage3 * G3 stage3 * G4 stage3 * minimal InstallCD * universal InstallCD * GRP CD Pylon built testing-stages and a minimal InstallCD. Testers are welcome. If we can get KuroBox and RS/6000 netboot-images working, they will go into experimental first. The 2.6.14-kernel doesn't support current PowerBooks, but the 2.6.15-kernel has some issues with ARCH-settings (powerpc instead of ppc). This isn't covered by several eclasses yet, so that building of external kernel-drivers fails. Instead of waiting for 2.6.16 which will most like resolve this issue, JoseJX will look into changing the eclasses. Furthermore there is a tested genkernel for 2.6.15 and other arches will use that kernel as well. One thing isn't working: splashutils. There are issues with klibc (not stable) and klibc in combination with a 2.6.15-kernel (breaks). An upstream testing-klibc works, but isn't in portage yet. All in all we don't need splashutils and it saves at least 10MB on the InstallCD. == 2. Dev Activity (Who's alive?) == Devs seemed to have vanished and even the operational manager isn't around (which had happened more often in the past -- probably there is a bane on this position). Several devs don't have a lot of interest in Gentoo any more, but as there is nobody who will maintain their distribution of choice, they still do their job without much fun. But instead of searching for new devs, we will first try to find out, who is really active. Therefore hansmi sent out an e-mail to all 21 devs on the list. Who didn't respond within two weeks and gave a short activity report on ppc@ will be taken out of the ppc-herd. == 3. Open Bugs / PPC Bug Day? == Currently we have about 70 open bugs for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Some devs went through the list during the last week and shrank to half of its size. But still, there are too many open bugs. Every dev should use the time before the release and go through the open bugs. Furthermore we'll do a ppc-bugday for resolving the harder bugs all together. Estimated time will be next Saturday (January 21), 14 UTC. There are some open bugs for keywording requests, which have been done already. We still need a way to find out, what has been keyworded by the ppc-team and which bugs we can close then. Searching for open bugs while doing a keywording-session isn't acceptable. == 4. Toolchain Updates (GCC 4.1?) == gcc-4.1 works on ppc and there are only few issues. All AltiVec-bugs have been resolved. A kernel could be compiled and is bootable. It seems to be a good idea for creating a testing-/dev-profile with that special toolchain for further testing. More investigation is needed for autovectorization and libfreevec. == 5. Some form of regular status reports == We want to tell ourselves, Gentoo and Users about the activity in the ppc team. But how? There are ideas for blog-posts with a subject [ppc] tagged on Gentoo Planet, or via e-mail on ppc@, or even via CVS-logs. For the time, every dev should send regular status-reports to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and JoseJX will take care for the aggregation, a post on the website and notification to the GWN-crew. Wormo asked for some space in CVS where document-drafts could be placed. As the need and also the format are in question, we'll postpone that request. == 6. Hardware support status == Users asked to release information when new hardware could be supported by Linux. This is usually no special Gentoo topic, but we will add such information with links to FAQ or guides to the status-report or to the website. We won't do a hardware-matrix, as all trials went out too complicated. == 7. 2006.0 Documentation Status == There are only few changes needed: * profile * kernel (probably) * further OldWorld support Some users mentioned in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-420722.html that our FAQ isn't verbose enough. JoseJX is against including questions which could be answered by google instantly (like "What is Airport?"). The FAQ should be terse. But JoseJX will go through the docs and look if there is something which needs to be explained a bit more. == 8. Open Floor == Most attendees fall to bed. More than three hours are enough. -- Lars Weiler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +49-171-1963258 Gentoo Linux PowerPC: Developer and Release Engineer Gentoo Infrastructure : CVS Administrator Gentoo Foundation : Trustee pgpIcMF1hTX8Z.pgp Description: PGP signature

CVS/SVN doesn't need much CPU load or even several CPUs and also we don't need a lot of disk-space. But our setup could make use of a lot of fast RAM and a nice RAID (which we don't have at the moment). So specs are: - ~3GHz Xeon - 4-6GB of RAM - RAID-5 or -10 with u320 disks (for the actual data, 20GB would be enough for the next years) - a very good network-connection Regards, Lars -- Lars Weiler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +49-171-1963258 Gentoo Linux PowerPC: Developer and Release Engineer Gentoo Infrastructure : CVS Administrator Gentoo Foundation : Trustee pgpfgS0ruP5sg.pgp Description: PGP signature

* Lance Albertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [05/06/28 18:14 -0500]: > I'm just getting ansty about all these new people we're bringing "New people"? You're joking, aren't you? Some of them are moderators for even a longer time than you are a Gentoo Dev. The problem just is, that the Forums have been forgotten at the time when our current (or even better now it's the old) metastructure was built up. The forum moderators now just take Gentoo's official way to add the forums and the folks behind it as a usual TLP or SLP (probably to PR). And I'm really ashamed that many Developers think they are just some beggars for an @gentoo.org- and shell-account. Did you really ever honoured their work? Think about the Forums will go down for a week. I don't want to count the questions a lot of developers will receive, which were usually answered in the forums instead. Or political discussions about Gentoo, which are hold in the forums and where the moderators slurp out the essence and hand it over to the related devs. Yes, we need the forums, we need the moderators, and we also need that the moderators will be involved into Gentoo completely, so that they know our rare internals and are allowed to take part on elections about the future of the project. Please keep in mind what has been said before: This thread ain't be a flamefest. This is the official and transparent way in how to integrate our forums as an official Gentoo project.
