I'm still seeing this too on the _first_ sync on a system after the 4th

It's basically a one-time-per-system thing, at least that's what I see.

Hi, could any of this cause a (kinda) full resync from the mirrors?
Because an emerge --sync I'm doing now is syncing up _all_ files in the
tree and taking ages on my laptop, on the other hand the emerge --sync
I did yesterday at around 1400 CET just synced the changed files, as
usual... I also tried multiple mirrors, thinking maybe one of them was
the problem, but they all happily continued syncing everything.
At the end of the sync, Portage also processed all the update-files,
which too is strange. All the modification times of the files seem to
have been updated... The date on my system is set correctly, so I can't
really explain why this would suddenly happen, as between yesterday and
today I didn't update Portage or rsync.

[gentoo-dev] net-www/apache-1* masked.

2007-05-12 Thread Luca Longinotti
Hi all!
As announced in the 30 April 2007 edition of GWN [1], net-www/apache-1*
as well as all packages depending/using it were masked, pending removal
on 12 June 2007.
I fixed all packages, dependencies, etc. I could find to work correctly
after the masking (generally removing Apache 1.X support from them).
If you find any issue still, please open a bug about it, assign it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and make it block bug #178189 [2].
If you use or plan on using the apache-module or depend.apache eclasses,
be aware that the need_apache function doesn't anymore export the
apache2 USE flag to IUSE, since now it directly depends on Apache 2.X,
so be sure to declare it in your ebuilds IUSE (I fixed the few cases
where this wasn't already done).
Thanks and happy upgrading to Apache 2.X!

provide mysql in another init-script), but you can make up some fancy

Fex: dev-db/mysql installs both

Re: [gentoo-dev] Gentoo World Domination. a 10 step guide

2006-10-04 Thread Luca Longinotti
Thomas Cort wrote:
 There have been a number of developers leaving Gentoo in the past 6
 months as well as a number of news stories on DistroWatch, Slashdot,
 LWN, and others about Gentoo's internal problems.

People come and go, I still see Gentoo going forward, packages still get
updated, work gets done... So I'm really beginning to think people read
t much into a few people leaving over 6 months and a few, generally
wrong articles based on misinterpreting someones blog...

 simply don't have enough developers to support the many projects that
 we have. Here are my ideas for fixing this problem:

Maybe, maybe not... Projects exist, so there is at least _someone_
that's interested in them... If that's not true, then ok, just remove
that project... Let's start the comments on the 10 points (all imho):

 - Cut the number of packages in half (put the removed ebuilds in
 community run overlays)

Who decides what goes away and what now? Which criteria is used here?
Btw, this is already being done splendidly by the TreeCleaners project,
and Sunrise and other overlays are already absorbing stuff from the
community.

 - Formal approval process (or at least strict criteria) for adding
 new packages

Err what? So I, as a dev, that did quizzes, etc., cannot even anymore
just add the package that has got my fancy atm, because there are some
criteria to what is added and what not, and I have to go through a
bureaucratic process just for that? Never!
If for strict criteria you mean there must be at least a dev or herd
maintaining it, or such stuff, they already exist, they may just need
some more enforcing... ;)

 - Make every dev a member of at least 1 arch team

Which doesn't mean he will ever keyword stuff stable, other than his
own, which he already can... Let's face it: most devs are mainly
interested in their stuff, getting their stuff keyworded, and many
wouldn't anyway have the time to efficiently work on an arch-team, as
members of such I mean, not just as I'm a member, so I keyword my
stuff, that's it... For that I agree with the current practice: if you
want that, ask the arch-team first. ;)

 - Double the number of developers with aggressive recruiting

That's something that goes on since... forever! Gentoo's continuously
recruiting new people, more aggressive recruiting has already been
proposed many times, but it was always agreed to try to maintain a
relatively high standard of new recruits, and if you want quality,
finding loads of people who just happen to have the time and
dedication to become a Gentoo dev isn't that easy.

 - No competing projects

Kills innovation... Who comes first has total monopoly of that branch of
things basically... I'd never agree to something like this, personally.

 - New projects must have 5 devs, a formal plan, and be approved by the
 council

New projects do always have a plan, they wouldn't be created else... ;)
Making it formal, be approved by the council... How to slow everything
down? We continuously see how adding bureaucratic stuff just suffocates
innovation, I totally agree with discussion et all, but not really on
the need to have everything approved by someone (the council in this
case)... The council may kill the project later on if it's doing totally
crazy shit, but that's another thing entirely...

 - Devs can only belong to 5 projects at most

Why? If someone has time to dedicate and work on a lot of projects, why not?

 - Drop all arches and Gentoo/Alt projects except Linux on amd64,
 ppc32/64, sparc, and x86 

Uhhh is this real? How would this help at all? Hell, it would make
things worse to an extent, we've already seen that at least Gentoo/BSD
helped in finding problems in ebuilds using too GNUish stuff, other
arches may help in finding broken code, etc.. I'd agree with some
proposal to relax keywording policy for all arches you've not listed,
since on those others, sadly, not soo many people are active, and you
get to wait on keywords for months sometimes... This is something we
should imo address from an arch-team PoV, some kind of if they don't
react in time, I can drop their keyword back to unstable or entirely,
or something like that, that would help many package maintainers I think.

 - Reduce the number of projects by eliminating the dead, weak,
 understaffed, and unnecessary projects

Again, who's the judge of that? If there is a project with at least one
person active, it means for him it's not unnecessary...  What means weak
project? What's unnecessary? Sure, kill the dead ones with no activity
and no active members, that's easy and I agree with that, but the other,
little ones, who's the one to say you're understaffed and useless, go
die!? :S

 - Project status reports once a month for every project

Totally agree on this one!

 The number of opened bugs has always been higher than the number of

That's not an indicator you can really trust imo... A lot of those are
WTF??? segfault? eh? and/or waiting on user input because they're
irreproducible by the devs involved, but I agree, there are a lot of
open ones because lately it seems that people tend to just go MIA,
return sometimes, do 1-2 commits, then away again... This has to stop
and such people have to be retired, but devrel already does that. And
orphaned/broken ebuilds do get punted from the tree... TreeCleaners!

 Who decides what goes away and what now? Which criteria is used here?
 
 Duplicate packages (we don't need more than a few mp3 players),
 unpopular packages with only a few users, unmaintained packages, and
 broken packages.

We've all seen how we don't need more than a few mp3 players when trying
to remove XMMS, which is _broken_, _old_ and _dead_. :)
One of Gentoo's strenghts is the it's all about choice paradigm, don't
ever remove that, ever. ;) If there are people willing to maintain them,
or if they are not broken and perfectly work, don't kill stuff just
because you think it's duplicate/useless/unpopular.

 We would provide a set of packages for most things a
 user would want to do and then sunrise/someone else provides ebuilds
 for the rest. I was thinking something similar to what Ubuntu does,
 they provide the basics to do most things and then they have universe
 and multiverse repos for extra stuff.

Yes, but we're a meta-distro, we do not know what the user wants to do,
he just does... I myself run desktops and www-servers, mail-servers,
others run embedded-apps, game-servers etc... So the whole breaking
stuff up idea that's cursing atm through the blogs just doesn't cut it,
and would imo in the end only increase maintainance because packages are
spread out and you have to jump through loops to get them like you want.

  - Formal approval process (or at least strict criteria) for adding
  new packages

 Err what? 
 
 I believe that we have too many packages for us to maintain. We have
 over 11,000 packages (over 24,000 ebuilds) and only about 175 active
 developers. I don't think its maintainable and I don't think adding
 more packages will make it any better.

TreeCleaners, to an extent Security etc. _do_ remove what is dead, what
has reached points of unmaintainability and brokenness that cannot be
anymore supported. The rest still is there because it works (so why
remove it?), or because it has someone that keeps it alive (so why
remove it?). If there's something to do here, it's kicking out old,
broken stuff etc. faster and improving QA (as Kevin already pointed
out), definitely not making it so difficult to add new stuff that no one
will, that only produces stagnation of the tree in the end.

  - Make every dev a member of at least 1 arch team

 Which doesn't mean he will ever keyword stuff stable, other than his
 own, which he already can... 
 
 Every developer should have access to at least 1 Gentoo system. They
 should also be able to determine if something is stable or not. It
 would cut down on the number of keyword/stable bugs if developers did
 a lot of their own keywording.

Cool... But that's exactly what the arch-teams were created against...
From what I always understood arch-teams are there to have a second set
of eyes for stabling and testing stuff, even if the maintainer himself
can do that. Then he can stable his own stuff (just ask the arch-team
permission), or not... And the arch-team may or not give permission,
depends on the package in question. That's a relatively good approach
that ensures a measure of peer-review at least on the important packages.

  - Double the number of developers with aggressive recruiting

 That's something that goes on since...
 
 Even when someone is found it is hard for them to find mentors. We
 need to improve this. I had found someone who wanted to join the sound
 team and I was unable to locate a mentor for him (I wasn't a dev for 6
 months then, so I couldn't do it myself). I e-mailed [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
 only one person offered. The person who offered fell through because
 he didn't have enough free time.

Ok, so I don't see how aggressive recruiting would improve that...
Improving recruiters/mentors capacity would have to be done first, so
even if we did some aggressive recruiting (which I'm not sure would
bring quality... probably quantity hey cool Gentoo wants new devs,
let's join cause I like Linux! w0h000!!11!), we wouldn't have the
resources to sustain it.

  - No competing projects

 Kills innovation...
 
 What happened to working together? Should we work together instead of
 competing against each other?

Sure, working together is cool, but it doesn't always work, it never
always worked

 Mmm, afaics there's nothing preventing the council from having quick,
 'as needed' informal interim meetings with whoever happens to be around.
 If a few people aren't there, it's not as big a deal as if people don't
 show up to the monthly meetings. Heck, the monthly meetings could be
 considered a minimum...

Indeed. I have to agree with Ciaran here, a stronger council seems to be
one of the best solutions. A (benevolent) dictatorship, or the opposite
of extending the democracy level even more, aren't going to solve
anything imho. The dictatorship model sure doesn't motivate volunteers,
and having more than one person is anyway better, as already pointed
out, to not have single points of failure, or potential for quick and
big damage. The opposite of a total democracy too doesn't cut it, when
anyone starts having the power to put stuff to vote, make up referendums
etc., things start to slow down and get caught up in endless bureaucracy
(I'm swiss, it happens there, often, not that it isn't a good thing for
something like a nation, but for something the size of Gentoo, and with
the scope of Gentoo, it would just hurt imho).

 What happens if he or she (ok, he) isn't around? Is the flexibility of
 having a single on the spot decision leader enough to outweigh the
 disadvantages over allowing mini meetings?

The ability of the council to hold arbitrary mini-meetings when needed,
and eventually change the decisions at a later date (with a time limit
of course, so that people can start doing work, and at the same time
don't do too much work for it to then be eventually refused) if there is
extreme opposition (basically if you have only 2 members around, those
decides YES, and the other 5 then tell NO NO NO!) would seem the
best course of action to me. Having the one council leader doesn't cut
it, as Ciaran already mentioned for reasons of availability, and again
we'd introduce a possible quick point-of-failure. If there is a
decision that needs to be done extremely quick, just get together the
council members that are there and do it, although I wouldn't expect it
to be commonplace to have decisions that affect the whole of Gentoo that
need to be taken in like an hour or two, at least 1-4 days of time to
prepare for the decision can always be required, thus allowing the
council members to be there in a reasonable amount for those
mini-meetings, and if not, but if they know they want to say something,
there still are proxies that can act for them.
Raising the number to two co-leads can also be a solution, but what if
exactly those two are away for whatever reason, but the other 5 are
around? Now do they have to wait on one of the aforementioned two people
to do anything? That still is a possible point-of-failure, which the
other model (who is there decides, who is not does not) would solve
relatively well.

Slotted MySQL will definitely go away from the main Portage tree, there
only the normal MySQL ebuilds will remain. Atm we're setting up an
overlay for MySQL, so there you'll still be able to download the slotted

ARCH teams, robbat2, php-herd, thoughts ?

If no one is versus I'll stabilize 4.1.14 for x86 and amd64 tomorrow 
(with dev-perl/DBD-mysql-2.9007), then mysql-5.0 will be unmasked.

Furter note to the sh ARCH, my apologies, I've removed your keyword 
from mysql-4.0.[456]* ebuilds, repoman commit gived me a badindev for 
dev-perl/DBI.

Best regards,

PHP Herd is perfectly ok with it and we're eagerly awaiting a stable
MySQL 4.1! :)
So, from us, full ok and proceed without doubts (about PHP).
