For example, yesterday I tried to burn some DVD. Click on k3b icon didn't make it run. I have to run it from konsole to find out that it can't load /usr/lib/libdbus-qt-1.so.1.0.0 .

[gentoo-dev] LINGUAS support
The other day spyderous was looking for a tool to remove extra .po that he doesn't need. I recommended him to set LINGUAS in make.conf. Then I realized some package doesn't respect that variable (ie eject) Would it be better (easier) to have portage removes those extra locales in $D/usr/share/locale/ before merge than patch the source? -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: Decision to remove stage1/2 from installation documentation
R Hill wrote: I think that a lot of people use stage 1 because they're under the impression that they have to in order to change their CHOST on default-linux from i386-pc-linux-gnu to i686-pc-linux-gnu. And unless something has changed recently, to get an NPTL glibc they _do_ have to make that change [1]. If it's made clear that there is absolutely no difference in the end btwn stage3 + emerge -e world and stage1, maybe people would be less enthusiastic about using it. if you are on x86, there is stage3 for pentium4 built with CFLAGS="-O2 -march=penitum4" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
