Catalin If you look at the dependencies of PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r2, you will see that they are reversed from the dependencies of 1.3.5; (from www.gentoo-portage.com) Runtime Dependencies PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r2 ! dev-lang/php - cgi ! dev-lang/php - dev-lang/php ! dev-php/mod_php - ! dev-php/PEAR-PEAR - 1.3.6-r2 ! dev-php/PEAR - Archive_Tar ! dev-php/PEAR - Console_Getopt ! dev-php/PEAR - XML_RPC PEAR-PEAR-1.3.5 dev-lang/php = dev-php/PEAR-Archive_Tar - 1.1 = dev-php/PEAR-Console_Getopt - 1.2 = dev-php/PEAR-XML_RPC - 1.0.4 virtual/php The reason for this can be found in the ChangeLog 09 Jan 2006; Sebastian Bergmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r2.ebuild: Block packages that this package bundles. So the moduleblocks are blocked because they will be installed by PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r2 The last line is not strange at all-- you perhaps missed the line in the blocker. What I see in this output dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r2 (is blocking dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r2) is saying that some version of PEAR-PEAR less than 1.3.6-r2 is blocking the installation of 1.3.6-r2. According (again) to the Changelog: 09 Jan 2006; Luca Longinotti [EMAIL PROTECTED] files/pear.conf, PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r2.ebuild: Change pear.conf to auto-sobstitute the php binary's path, plus some other cosmetical fixes. Fix pear USE flag requirement, not really needed. Jan 2006; Sebastian Bergmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] +files/pear.conf, PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r2.ebuild: Install /etc/pear.conf. There are some serious changes in this package that require a clean installation, as if the package was never installed. But you know the drill; remove blocking packages, try your emerge again. Usually this works itself out, because working itself out is Portage's main job. No bugs on b.g.o (yet) to indicate the process is failing in this case.

[gentoo-user] OT - Stupid MythTV question that I should already know the answer to, but don't.
My MythTV is working pretty well, except that my wife and I can't watch Live TV on our own PC's at the same time, but only having one TV card I don't think there's a way around that. One problem wae are having is that the brightness level on Live TV and on the recordings MythTV makes is too high. I know I saw a brightness control somewhere on the interface last week, but now I can't find it. Also, what should I set the stream type in Recording Profiles so that I can get full screen recordings without huge file size? Someone recommended VCD for converting my MythTV media files to a lower resolution (and therefore smaller file size), and I saw an option for stream type MPEG-1 VCD, but when I try to view recordings made with that setting in MythTV it looks like it's trying to cast full screen mode into wide screen mode by stretching the video horizontally. I can watch the videos just fine in gmplayer, but my wife won't be able to (unless I either share the recordings directory via NFS or I copy the files that are in that directory over to her PC - neither one an elegant solution.

I never noticed the difference when I was using aes-loop on a 2GHz laptop. That said, it will depend on the algorithm you choose and the CPU you have available. Also, I /think/ aes-loop was supposed to be faster than dm-crypt, but I believe the kernel's implementation of aes (and maybe other ciphers) has gotten faster since the last benchmarks I saw. I tested this recently on my new AMD64 X2 system. The dm-crypt and loop-aes are very very close in performance. I can't really say which is faster, because for some configurations, dm-crypt was faster, while for others, loop-AES was faster. By configurations I mean using 2 disks, software raid, LVM, and dm-crypt/loop-aes, and playing with the order of the layers (do I make a raid of 2 encrypted disks, or encrypt a raid array of 2 disks, or ...), the block sizes, etc. And in some cases, loop-aes would be faster at writing, but dm-crypt would be faster at reading, or vice-versa. The one thing I think loop-aes does better is that it creates a separate thread for each encrypted device, so it can take advantage of SMP systems. Still, I ended up using dm-crypt+luks on that system. For performance, on the AMD64 box, the two disks could deliver a combined read throughput of around 130MB/sec. The highest throughput I got with dm-crypt or loop-aes was 115-118MB/sec read, 95MB/sec write. On my 2.13Ghz laptop, using loop-AES, the disk can only deliver a maximum of 50MB/sec, and loop-aes tops out at about 45MB/sec at 42% CPU utilization. The only time it becomes a real impact is when I am doing a backup, when I have decrypt the data from one disk, archive it, compress it, and then encrypt the archive when it is written to another disk. I do _not_ notice an impact when compiling, becase the amount of disk activity for a typical compile is insignificant compared to the CPU usage of the compiler. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Basically the developers don't like the way things are done on the mpc end, and so I haven't seen more than a prelim patch submitted and I don't even know if it was accepted. The documentation for mplayer, however, suggests that with xmms support it can play musepack files. So you probably should make sure you compiled mplayer with the xmms flag, and emerge xmms-musepack.

I'm curious to here other Gentoo users' experience with this software. I will be using in a production environment so stability and uptime are very important, as are reasonable performance. I would very much appreciate any feedback you all can give me about your experience with QEMU. While I can't really vouch for stability and uptime, QEMU is a great piece of software. I run it on my Dell D600 laptop with the kernel accelerator (kqemu) enabled. From it I run Win XP SP2 with no problems, and it is fairly fast (faster, at least, then my old 800Mhz pentium 3 running the same software natively). On the other hand, my uses of it are limited to 1) Microsoft Office: I have a legit copy, so might as well use it, especially when sometimes people send me Word or Powerpoint files to edit. 2) Windows Media Player: wmv9 has some funky drm built in that mplayer can't deal with. Some foreign news websites I frequent uses that horrible codec for streaming media. The sound can get flaky at times, but it doesn't affect anything else. You might need to look carefully at the documentation for the network side of things. I only run it with --user-net which puts the VM behind a virtual firewall, which might make some things on the Windows side with regards to network sharing break. Also, QEMU being a complete emulator, it can't be used like CrossoverOffice/Wine where you only run the software desired. You have to start the VM, and run Windows from it. Which runs into a bit of licensing issue: technically, if I read Microsoft's stance on this correctly, you would need a separate license for each of your VMs, and at that point, if you have x86 hardware, you might as well run Windows natively. Of course, I might be wrong, but that is something you should worry about. I think software-wise QEMU is pretty good. But there might be a few tripping stones on the deployment-side for you to watch out should you go with using it in a corporate environment.

[gentoo-user] Sorry about the spam
Really, I should have thought more about the first e-mail (oops). Thank you for all your comments! Here is what the goal is (as of now): - To have some kind of useful standard among the many distributions. - To compensate those who need or want compensation for their hard work. (The laborer is worthy of his/her wages.) - Community moderated, no controlling overhead like Microsoft. - Whatever they release will be completely free software. No strings. United means we help each other develop and improve Linux software--separately. So no united. That's optional for now. How can people be interested? - It is just a fund paid by the community for the community - Overhead will be minimal, if anything. - People are already interested in Linux, and they would like to donate to a worthy cause. (Yes, this does mean that we would have to be worthy) What's the point? - Make Linux better - Increase Linux users (Microsoft users might convert) - Better the community - Pay people who deserve it Really, we could make Gentoo the official distribution of Saviour Linux.

I'm developing some ebuild scripts, and came across
a problem. I have enabled tests and when an ebuild
test fails, it is not dieing but going adhead and doing
the install.
In the src_test function, I have:
...
make test || die test failed
...
Tried:
make test
rc=$?
einfo make test returns ${rc}
[ ${rc} -eq 0 ] || die test failed
which displays '0' and continues.
Also tried with '/usr/bin/make test', same problem.
If I 'manually' (not within the portage system) run make test,
a code ($?) of 2 is returned.
Is there some portage magic going on that I don't understand?
