[gentoo-user] Trying to patch mrtg..
Hi all!
I'm trying to add the 95th percentile patch to MRTG
(http://www.seanadams.com/95/) and I'm trying to edit the ebuild to
include the patch.
I added the following to the mrtg-2.10.15.ebuild
src_unpack() {
unpack ${A} ; cd ${S}
epatch /tmp/95.patch
}
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2chap=1
tells me that epatch is a valid function, but when I try to run the
ebuild, I get this:
Unpacking mrtg-2.10.15.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/mrtg-2.10.15/work
/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 21: epatch: command not found
Source unpacked.
... and it continues on its merry way, unpatched.
I'm most definately *not* a programmer/coder/developer, but I at least
took a stab at the documentation and gave it a try.
Anyone else ever try this? I've been trying a few different things.. no
luck yet. Seems that epatch is a function, but I can't really find it
anywhere in /var/lib/portage/bin...
yes, I Googled. Yes, I searched the forums. Yes, I asked on IRC.. that's
where I got the link to the devrel/handbook.
Help? :) I'd like to get MRTG patched to use this very handy add-on..
Thanks!

Is this on a Dell box? In the archives, you migth find me asking the

[gentoo-user] highmem K7S5A
Hey all, I have an ECS K7S5A board and tried putting 2x512 DDR2100 DIMMS into the thing. It boots up, but I get an error in dmesg about only 896MB being available. So, following some instructions I found on forums.gentoo.org, I enabled highmem support (4gb) in the kernel and recompiled. From that moment on, I got nothing but kernel panic errors on start! The RAM tests just fine. I tossed in the memtest86 CD and let it run for 24 hours - not one single error. The same RAM works perfect in another box with the same board running Windows XP (I have 5 of these boards and haven't had a single problem so far - 1 board is in a linux box, but it only has 512mb RAM) I got the kernel panics to go away by removing highmem support, and putting 1x512 module and 1x256 module in the box instead. 768MB RAM isn't too bad, but I can't figure out why it was crashing. =/ I'm using gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5 on all of the machines.

I'm affraid my question is a faq, but i have had a look at the Portage Manual, and what i tried doesn't work : i use axkit and apache, and i don't want to upgrade apache, since axkit doesn't know how to work with apache2. so i fixed the apache version in my /var/cache/edb/world file : ... =net-www/apache-1.3.27-r3 ... but when i try 'emerge -up world', portage still want to upgrade apache :-( I know apache1 and apache2 use different slots, so it won't uninstall my apache-1.3.27 but i really don't want this apache2 when upgrading world. Add net-www/apache-2 to /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/packages :) I had this exact same problem the other day, this fix worked for me.

Re: [gentoo-user] Silly question: Skipping stuff that emerge suggests
i think what you're looking for is /etc/make.profile/packages read the comments in there and i *think* that's what you'll want to modify to get apache not to upgrade. Yeah, I took a look there.. it's not in there. =/ if it works, remember to post what you did to the list eh? Will do :D -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Silly question: Skipping stuff that emergesuggests
If you haven't installed apache yet or it is installed as dependency, edit /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/packages and add or modify net-www/apache-2. Or, I did install 1.3.27 from portage a while back... This above approach worked. emerge -up --deep world stopped showing me Apache 2.0.x :-) I also did the same for MySQL 4.x too, because I just don't need it quite yet. :D Thanks! :D -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] amavisd.conf?
Hey all, I've got Postfix, f-prot, anomy mailtools, and amavis working quite well together but I noticed that the amavis ebuild doesn't seem to have an amavisd.conf file that I can find anywhere. Does it just not have one? Can I just create /etc/amavisd.conf and have it read it? Thought I'd ask if anybody else has noticed this. :) -Jonathan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Advice for Blocking Attachments by File Extension
I'm quit new with mail on linux, i have already this working: fetchmail - postfix - amavis - clamAV - spamassassin - procmail now i want to bounce or quarantine mails with some extentions, like exe ,src and so on. But i don't know where to start, so any advice would be fine. This is quite easy to do at the MTA (Postfix) level. http://www.securitysage.com/files/mime_header_checks is a freely available header_checks file that you can use. 1)Download that file into /etc/postfix 2)Run postmap /etc/postfix/mime_header_checks 3)Add mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/maps/mime_header_checks into /etc/postfix/main.cf somewhere. 4)Restart Postfix. That should be about all you need. Securitysage.com has quite a few really good articles on Postfix as well as other *_checks files, but beware that using broad filtering techniques can cause legitimate mail to be rejected. (I've had to relax some anti-spam stuff simply because of overzealous filtering) Hope that helps! -Jonathan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

One thing I've never had a good handle on is mbox vs maildir.

I'm using it on 2 production mail servers already, haven't had any problems. Support for it is available, the author is on the postfix-users mailing list along with several other very sharp and helpful people.

[gentoo-user] Ok, April 1st is over.. ;)
..perhaps it'd be a good idea to change the April 1st newsletter... I had a co-worker (who I've convinced to try Gentoo because he hates RPM..heh) come over and give me the WTF?? I just finished installing it and now they're going to use RPM?? freak-out dance. I explained that it was an April Fools Day joke. He relaxed quite a bit, fortunately.

Re: [gentoo-user] april fools?
Quite honestly, I'm surprised that so many people believed it. To me, the notion that Gentoo would dump ebuilds in favor of RPMs is so far from the realm of possibility as to be absurd. Obviously, some folks didn't find it quite so impossible. :) Oh, this wasn't too bad.. you should have seen the Userfriendly.org April Fools Day joke blow up several years ago. ;) I just imagined 5000 admins throwing up their arms and yelling D'OH! after reading that article. ;) -Jonathan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] portage on Solaris?
How far fetched is the idea getting portage onto Solaris? We need a system so the installed sources could be traced: who was compiling it, how he was doing it, what packeges are installed now and so on. A package manager is perfect for this purpose. Not too far fetched at all. Check out pkg-get on sunfreeware.com - it's quite handy :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Who uses sudo?
I'm just wondering how many other people use sudo instead of su, and whether it should be perhaps included in a 'standard' install (by which I mean mentioned in the install docs). I do. Nobody ever gets the root passwords. ;) The root pw can be changed via sudo if needed. sudo is a pretty useful tool, especially because of its logging capabilities. :) -jonathan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
