[gentoo-user] Emerge updating world
Hello, I would like to know if there is some way for asking to emerge to continue to update the packages for the target world, even if one of them failed to build. Thanks, Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Scilab
Thank you it seems to do the trick. My scilab is working now. I think it
is because these files are compiled with scilab and scilab can't run if
it can't get a X connection.

i dont know why the ebuild is missing that but:
$ cd /usr/lib/scilab-2.7/macros make
will do the trick.

I just emerged scilab and when I run it, I get:

Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge problem
Hello, thanks for your quick answer, the Depgraph seems to be created with no troubles... but then if I use the same emerge command to upgrade my Gentoo, does that mean that all my package will become at the very last buggy version ? I think I only have few package that needs the x86 keyword and it would be pitty to upgrade everything in a unstable state because of these few packages...

Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge problem
But then, how can I update all the package of my gentoo without upgrading to the latest unstable release if I have to use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to be able to run 'emerge -UuD world' ? Thomas Diego Zamboni wrote: I think I only have few package that needs the x86 keyword and it would be pitty to upgrade everything in a unstable state because of these few packages... Exactly - you only use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 for installing/upgrading the packages that you want to have in their unstable versions. In bash (root's default shell) the easiest way of doing it is to specify the variable in the same command line as the command: # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -v package In this way, the variable doesn't become permanently set. Of course, if you use it with emerge world, then you _will_ update everything to the latest unstable release. --Diego -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I think yes... I have : # emerge -p gentoo-sources These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Thomas Diego Zamboni wrote: But then, how can I update all the package of my gentoo without upgrading to the latest unstable release if I have to use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to be able to run 'emerge -UuD world' ? Hm.. from your original post: !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy virtual/linux-sources have been masked. !!!(dependency required by media-sound/alsa-driver-0.9.8 [ebuild]) I don't have my gentoo box handy at the moment, but I would assume that you need to install one of the -sources packages (gentoo-sources, gentoo-dev-sources, etc.) to satisfy the virtual/linux-sources dependency. Do you have any of them? --Diego -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Blender
Hello, the current Blender ebuild is for blender 2.28 and Blender is now at version 2.31 (there is already a package in Debian Sid). So, I first compiled Blender myself and it runs fine without any trouble. Then, I decided to write an ebuild for that, so I started reading the documentation from gentoo.org about ebuild dev (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml). It says to check before on http://bugs.gentoo.org/ if the ebuild was not written by somebody else already. Effectively, I found the bug corresponding to the blender 2.31 ebuild (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34906). So, I updated my portage tree but the current ebuild is still for version 2.28. My question: what do I have to do to get the ebuild of the version 2.31 of Blender ? Thanks, Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] fluxbox questions
Hello 1. When I tell a window not to tab the setting is not saved. Next time app starts it has a tab I don't know 2. I emerged fluxspace and setup some backgrounds for each desktop, however the bg appears on desktop1, but if I switch desktops I lose all backgrounds I use Esetroot to set up my background and it works fine (but I use only one background for all my desktops). 3. Is there a way to start a program on a specefic desktop? I tried to do this with fluxspace, but it wants to start the program every time I switch to that desktop I am using a blackbox tool called bbappconf. The package is broken on gentoo, so you will get a seg fault when you tried to run it. But it works fine with other distro and also with Gentoo when you comment the line that causes the problem in the source code. It remembers me I have to submit a bug for the Gentoo team. 4. Is there a way to stretch the toolbar to fit the screen? I don't think so. 5. Can you add anything to the toolbar? I don't think so. The toolbar is quite useless. I use it only to get back application I minimized. This is the reason why it is everytime hidden. 6. Where is the slit? and how do I get it to show up The slit will appear only when you put application in it. You can try gkrellm -w and the slit will appear. Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] fluxbox questions
Hello, One thing the fluxbox.org docs mention is a prog called fluxbox-generate_menu which didn't come with fluxbox (at least that I could find). But I found it on sourceforge (just google for it... first result) and ran it... seemed to do a good job. It seems that Debian and Mandrake are using a tool to generate menu for every window manager. I like it for two reasons : 1) you get the same organised menu whatever window manager you are using 2) after installing a package, new entries appears in the menu only few seconds after the installation finished The bad thing about it is it is difficult to customize, like having your favorite entries at the top of the menu. So, I use shortcuts instead. I don't know if there is such features in Gentoo (I am using the Debian generated menu in my Gentoo). Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge question
Hello, this is what I was wondering. I am thinking of doing something on top on emerge to be able to build non-dependant package at the same time for the same target. I think it would be more efficient than a 'make -jx' especially for the 'world' target. Thomas If I understand what you are asking, I would suppose that starting # emerge C in one terminal, and then # emerge B in another, will result in package B being built twice, as, if I'm not mistaken, portage only looks at dependancies once If you are certain that packages you want to emerge have no comon dependancies or dependant functions, it is generally safe to emerge them at the same time. If you are not positive, don't take the chance. Fixing problems you might create may more than use up the time you might have saved. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Emerge question
Hello, I would like some information about emerge. I want to get the package C. C depends of the package A and the package B. The package B does not depend on the package A or vice-versa. I do 'emerge C': emerge will build A, then B, then C. When emerge is building A, I run 'emerge B'. So, B is builded at the same time than A. Will 'emerge C' will build B again after A or will it emerge directly C ? Thank very much, Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
