[gentoo-user] Build a binary package under another *non-gentoo* PC

see time spent on making portage more robust.
Agreed! Just put emerge sync in a cron job or during the night, and

Yes. That is what I do. Here's what I use in /etc/cron.daily/sync.cron.

For this you need SMTP started and mailx emerged. Then even if you have

To be honest, I think mysql to run portage is excessive. Portage at the
moment is quite lightweight and works well with simple text files.
Adding database administration is just going to make debugging and
maintenance more complex and tiresome. Also, other portage todo's may
take priority like reverse dependencies and sticky settings from what I

Re: [gentoo-user] Round 2: modules/kernel problem No modules work -- i8k
I don't really know how the whole module thing works, but I've encountered similar situations where modules can't be found because things are not looking where I thought they should, and basically because I don't understand much of it. As a result of some chats on #gentoo, I've come up with this approach: do a 'modprobe -l my-modules.txt' which seems to result in a list of modules, each with a fully absolute path, and each with a '.o' or whatever ending. By hand, I've gone through each line and deleted the stuff that isn't the module name, and the bits after the dot. I'm sure there's a programming way of doing it, but frankly this was quicker than spending another twenty years trying to learn programming, which hasn't worked out so far. Then I change the result into /etc/modules.autoload and all is happy. It'd be nice if there were an automated way of arriving at modules.autoload from the output of modprobe -l and simply allowing the user to comment out the bits not needed (or in my case, it's all needed or I wouldn't have made the kernel that way in the first place). -- Ian Tindale -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] vmware has stopped working
This looks like it. I can LD_PRELOAD an old libc.so.6 and vmware works - but I can only do this as root - I have found something about suid programs only being able to preload as root. Does anyone know a workaround for that? Downgrading the glibc is something I would rather avoid at the moment.

Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone using syslog-ng..?
On Tue, 29 Jul 2003, Alan wrote: - Why isn't syslog-ng supplied with a suitable cron script to tidy my logfiles..? This would be handled by logrotate, but you still have to come up with the config files for it yourself :\ I managed to grab a bunch off my debian box, but it'd be nice to see logrotate as a USE variable and ebuilds to throw a script in /etc/logrotate.d/ if they see it for things like postfix, syslog*, apache, etc. syslog-ng is much more configurable than sysklogd. You can, for example, change the filenames of all the log files to your favorite animals, if you so desired. That's in addition to being able to split up what would normally be one logfile into several, or combine a few, or just discard certain messages. I'm sure it's possible to have a default logrotate.d file for the default syslog-ng file. This would likely require additional files to be downloaded from gentoo. On the other hand, I seem to recall the default syslog-ng.conf file not having very much in it. At any rate, you get much greater control at the cost of greater maintenance. Once you've figured out exactly what you want in your syslog-ng.conf file, though, it's fairly easy to write up a syslog-ng file for logrotate. I just choose all the options I want to apply to (almost) all log files, then write up each individual file with any exceptions (ie, daily instead of weekly). postfix itself doesn't need a logrotate.d entry. It logs to syslog, using mail facility, and ending up (by default) in mail.log. Don't forget to log kernel messages. The syslog-ng documentation explains how to do that (I don't recall offhand, and I'm not on my computer). -- And the earth becomes my throne, I adapt to the unknown Under wandering stars I've grown, by myself but not alone -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] decent browser?
The two things that seperate Mozilla from Konqueror: 1) Being able to get selective with images by setting only those images originating from the server as viewable, and right clicking on images to block all further images from that server. 2) The plugin for flash called click to play, which in effect disables all flash objects by default, while giving you the option to click on the ones you actually want to see! The day that konqueror achieves these functions, I'll be so sold on the speed so much, that I don't know what I'll do... ;-) Of course, I'm not advocating you boycot the ads for sites that promote open source software. ;-) By all means, click on them often as it helps the cause!

Here's a basic logrotate script:
compress
/var/log/*
{
rotate 5
size=800k
postrotate
killall -HUP syslog-ng
endscript
}
You will need to handle any /var/log subdirs, such as apache or mysql,
individually as they will need their own postrotate functions.
Also, you might want to look into syslog-ng's macro expansion function.
For instance, you can do this:
destination whatever {
file(/var/log/whatever/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$FULLDATE.log owner
(root) group(logs) perm(0640) dir_perm(0770) create_dirs(yes)
};
...to come up with a different file for every host, every day - makes it
easier to compress and archive the older files.
There are also ways to put your logs straight into an SQL database:
destination mysql {
pipe(/tmp/mysql.pipe
template(INSERT INTO logs (host,facility,priority,level,tag,
timestamp,program,msg) VALUES ('$HOST','$FACILITY',
'$PRIORITY','$LEVEL','$TAG','$UNIXTIME','$PROGRAM',
'$MSG');\n)
template-escape(yes));
};
...so that you can delete older logs with just a 'delete from' SQL
query.

Re: [gentoo-user] Good code editor (with colors) for X (no GTK or QT)

[gentoo-user] OT: Good NFS for laptop?
Hi folks, beeing tired of synchronizing configfiles, browser's bookmarks and several other folders between various boxes in my LAN I came up with the idea to store my homedirectory remotely on my fileserver (a quite powerful Debian Woody box, XFS filesystem, recent kernel). So far, so good. If I had only desktops in my LAN, this wouldn't be much of a problem, perhaps Sun's NFS would be the choice (easy to set up, security concerns are not that important in my private LAN), or Samba, as I have experience with both of those two filesystems. But having a laptop I do pretty much work on I need something that allows disconnected operation, that is: Caching the files accessed while network is unavailable and even having some files cached sticky, like .dotfiles and similar stuff. This is important so I can work with the laptop if I'm not at home. After reconnection to the server, things should be synchronized again. Filesystems that come in mind to offer that functionality are Coda[1] and Intermezzo[2]. All in all they seem to be pretty experimental, maybe Coda a bit less than Intermezzo. I'm not really sure how intensely these FS are developed: Intermezzo's last News entry on the homepage is dated over a year ago. Some folks on usenet say Coda is kinda dead since the developers itself think it's overloaded with features. OpenAFS[3] seems to have some sort of disconnected operation feature in it's TODO-list[4], but I haven't found much about this. I don't want to start a flamewar about NFS, AFS or other network filesystems. If anyone here has some experience with Coda or Intermezzo (or another NFS that could suit my needs), I'd like to hear. Bad news and good news. Mainly, there are two Gentoo Linux Clients I want to serve. I also have some SGI Indigos running IRIX and one NeXTstation running OpenSTEP, but I do not expect them to run any actual NFS.
