[gentoo-dev] And thanks for all the fish...
Hello, it's a classical subject for a classical reason: I don't have time to contribute work to Gentoo anymore. So please retire me [1]. It was fun to work with all of you and it is a great experience to work in such a big project. You can contact me at mar...@unixforces.net. I lately changed my nickname at freenode from corsair to mrothe. Best regards to all of you! And some special regards to the ppc64 team!

Re: [gentoo-dev] What are blocks used for?
Mateusz A. Mierzwiński wrote: Yes, You have right but I have thinking about something like OPTION for emerge or switch to enable that function. Emerge could provide two options of working - with replace and with sending error. Maybe switch like --force-install? This is not a thread about a specific implementation of PMS. This thread is about adding specs to PMS that allow implementations (i.e. paludis or portage etc.) to do it right. -markus pgpx9xdd2wOeP.pgp Description: PGP signature

You have a problem with your scripts. Ok, that's more precise. I thought this would be a problem with repoman as I was calling 'repoman scan'. I must admit that in keywording for hppa I do use bash aliases and scripts as helpers but nothing too fancy, let alone automated. I've been doing this for almost two years now and I don't think any script could really automate the CVS work that's involved in resolving dependencies and in finding stale files - not even for jobs that require keywording dozens of ebuilds. I don't do automatic dependency resolving, too. All I automate is keywording exactly one ebuild. If I have an ebuild that needs another four dependencies stable I call five times mp.sh with the according ebuilds. We could set up a project to share our tools of course, use a common repository to develop them and so on. Maybe even write some documentation... As you can see I am neither a good programmer (didn't even know about std::isdigit until jkt told me..) nor do I write good scripts. Although I am willing to educate on both issues. Maybe we can really start such a project. Anyone else interested? Stable marking monkeys from sparc, x86 and amd64 might be interested in this.

[gentoo-dev] repoman - I cannot handle it...
Hello fellow developers,
I have a problem with repoman. I keep breaking the dependency tree. Jabub
knows what I'm talking about. Latest examples are bugs #196470, #196472 and
#196474. On a side note I actually don't want to break the dependency tree...
Attached are the scripts I use to commit packages stable/unstable. Somewhere
must be a bug!
'name_split.cpp' splits a package name like sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 into category,
package name and version number. It's done in c++ as that's the only language
I do more with than 'hello world' programms. Not much more, just more. ;-)
'mp.sh' is the script which calls name_split, repoman etc. It's pretty
straight forward and only does the things I would also do by hand.
So if I want to mark for example sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 stable on ppc64 I call
mp.sh like this: mp.sh ppc64 sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 Stable on ppc64
If someone has a hint where the problem is, I would really appreciate that.
Best regards,
-markus
P.S.: yes, I do 'cvs up' on the whole tree, before starting a commit.

If you're cvs tree is left in that state and you move on to other packages, repoman will see those keywords in it's dependency checks it treat them the same as if they had really been committed, which can lead to invalid results. Perhaps your mp.sh script should clean up after itself if the commit fails. Zac Good idea. I'll try that out. Thanks! -markus signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-dev] architectures which support Java
On Thursday 20 July 2006 21:17, Joshua Nichols wrote: Could I get notice of whether or not your architecture is supporting Java? On PPC64 we have support for java in theory. In IBM JDK version 1.4 the Java JIT compiler is broken, so pretty much everything is broken - except things that are just run and not compiled.. (you have to export JAVA_COMPILER=none) Version 1.5 on the other side does work pretty good. So add PPC64 to the list of supported arches once 1.5 is stable ;-) Regards, Markus pgpHDwGD6wTTh.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm sure you can manage to write a bash function to call echangelog and repoman commit with the same message. Sure, I can and the other mail shows that it is *realy* simple, but why should every dev write his own script, when this could be done once for all? Nevermind.. If I don't provide patches for repoman I shouldn't bitching around! ;-) Regards, Markus Rothe pgp5r0VEVkfRd.pgp Description: PGP signature
