Re: [gentoo-user] how do you avoid petty upgrades?
Robert Persson wrote: It is my understanding - and please tell me if I'm wrong - that the r suffixes on the ends of ebuild versions represent fixes to the ebuild, rather than to the package itself. If that is so, would that mean that category/thing-x.y.z-r2 won't contain anything important (such as security fixes) that isn't already in version x.y.z-r1? In that case, is there a way to avoid these petty upgrades when I emerge -u world? Thanks Robert Not always. The -rX builds represent Gentoo-specific updates, ie something like a new patch, that sorta thing. This can include security fixes, if they are released as a patch rather than as an actual update to the upstream package, which would result in a version bump for the ebuild.

Re: [gentoo-user] How emerge keeps track of what files need to be copied?
It also will not delete a directory if it isn't empty.
The rest is spot-on though.
John Myers wrote:
NB: I am not an ebuild writer, but I have played with them on occasion, and I
have read the docs.
That said,
Here's how it works:
The ebuild unpacks the source into ${WORKDIR}
(/var/tmp/portage/foo-x.y.z/work)
The ebuild compiles the source in ${WORKDIR}.
Portage creates ${DESTDIR} (/var/tmp/portage/foo-x.y.z/image)
The ebuild installs the compiled package, not into /, but ${DESTDIR}
(i.e. /usr/bin/foo would actually be installed into ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin/foo).
Portage then copies the contents of ${DESTDIR} into /, recording the file
path, timestamps and an md5sum of each file as it goes.
emerge -C just takes this list, and deletes every file in the list where
(1) the timestamps match
(2) the md5sum matches
(3) the file is not CONFIG_PROTECTed

Re: [gentoo-user] Install gentoo using livecd that boots from usb storage ?
If you already have something like Knoppix, you can install off that just fine. If youre planning to use the USB storage, you could possibly do a dd from the cd ISO straight to the harddrive. However, Im not sure if this would work or not.

Re: [gentoo-user] Best way to update world
emerge -u world only looks at all packages within your world profile, and their immediate dependencies. If any of those packages have a different version that matches your keywords, and that version is later than the one you currently have, it will update to that version. -D does the same, but it also looks at the deeper dependencies of the world profile, all the way down to glibc and so on. Neither of these two options are concerned with changes to your USE flags, only with changes to keyword-matching packages. Thats where --newuse comes in, it also includes any package that has had one of it's USE flags changed since it was compiled, whether or not it has an updated version or not.

Re: [gentoo-user] How do I get more text consoles?
Well Im not sure about how to enable more consoles. I know its possible
as I remember someone talking about it, but not how to do it.
With regards to the X launching console being unusable, what you can do
is redirect all output to /dev/null by appending /dev/null 21 onto
the end of your startx command, or whatever you use.

Non-negotiable item 2) I have certain items that I prefer to handle in
separate sessions.
I read news and email on text-consoles, but I have them set up to
launch a Firefox tab when I hit {SHIFT-U}. Then I can hit {ALT-F7},
view a webpage referenced in a post, and then hop back to where I was.
The problem with having an X session open is that the console that
opened it is bombarded with all sorts of crap messages about style-file
not found, font not found etc. This renders the console from which X
was launched unusable for anything else.
So I'm down to 5 usable consoles in the region between {CTRL-ALT-F1}
and {CTRL-ALT-F6}, and sometimes that isn't enough. At first, I thought
that screen would be the answer. However, its colour support sucks,
especially if you're trying to use colour-coded syntax in vim. And I
find that even if I can get a session set up properly, when I flip
away, and then flip back, it does *NOT* restore properly.
I've looked through make menuconfig and manually paged through
/usr/src/linux/.config, and there's nothing obvious to me about changing
the number of available text consoles. I'd like to have {CTRL-ALT-F1}
through {CTRL-ALT-F10} available for text consoles, which would still
leave #11 for X, and #12 for the very few times that I ever launch two
simultaneous X sessions.
I'm asking here, because I want to do this in a Gentoo-legal manner
that doesn't get clobbered the next time I build a new kernel or
whatever.

Re: [gentoo-user] Two emerge-related questions
You're rather lucky. Files named in that manner are config files, that are in a config protected directory. Because of this, portage doesn't overwrite the existing config, rather it leaves it the same and stores the new config as the file you mention. etc-update or dispatch-conf are the tools you should use to check all these files and see which need updating and which don't.
