Where do you see it sourcing for make.globals??
The ebuild is also very simple and short
pkg_setup() {
if use dri && ! built_with_use x11-base/xorg-server dri; then
die "Build x11-base/xorg-server with USE=dri."
fi
}
I just upgraded from xorg-7.0 to xorg-7.1 (this is because I was trying
to get my laptop to support Monitor out at 1680x1050 on a Radeon 9000.

Hi list, i was running an emerge -e world while emerge stuck on a package (that was openinventor). The problem was that with the modular X, the "testing" version was necessary. Now i would like to resume the emerge process, but however with emerge --resume, Portage wants to install the older version. How is it possible to force the newer one?

That's one way of doing it, which I have seen used on RedHat distributions (and that I have implemented on my machines). Instead of having a default umask of 022 and setting the primary group of new users to "user", you set the umask to 002 and have a separate primary group for every user (usually with the same name as the user). This way, shared directories can be set up as you described, and files and directories are created with 0664 resp. 0775 permissions. But if you haven't set up your environment for that, the easiest solution is to use POSIX ACLs (see "man acl"). Set a default ACL of: default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:other::--- on the (empty) shared directory, then copy over your files. You might have to enable ACLs in your kernel and /etc/fstab, and to enable the "acl" USE flag (and re-emerge affected packages) for this to work. -- Remy Remove underscore and suffix in reply address for a timely response. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You'll need to forward the port that your VNC server is listening at for connections from the router to the PC that runs the server. This is called 'port forwarding' and if I recall correctly the documentation has a link to a website with instructions for setting this up on different routers. Basically, if your router does not have a ready made menu on its GUI for port forwarding (otherwise you just fill in the port No e.g. 5900 and your PC's LAN IP address e.g. 192.168.0.3) you will need to set up a new service at your router and a firewall rule to accept that newly set up service. In the service menu fill in the port No., and protocol (TCP and, or UDP) and in the firewall rules menu create a new 'allow always' rule and fill in your PC LAN IP address and perhaps which IP address(es) you want to accept connections from.

The parameter login_processes_count seems to control the number of /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login processes that are run (when idle) awaiting connections.

It was not the imap_login processes which concern me from a scalability perspective - but rather the imap (/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap) processes.

[gentoo-user] Odd portage behaviour with binary packages

If I do a "emerge -kuav world" it takes this package but if I do a "emerge -uav world" it does not. Is this a normal behaviour?

The long answedr is that you can, if you are willing to change permissions. Your /mnt/windows is a vfat filesystem, which has no idea of unix permissions. But it's mounted on a Unix system which must have permissions, so the kernel takes a default and applies the default to every file and directory Your /mnt/gentoo is ext3 which DOES understand permissions, so therefore the system will use the permissions and owner/group that is already on that filesystem. You can't override this, and neither do you want to. The defaults you are using mostly do not apply to ext3 either, check the man page for mount for valid options to ext3 and ext2. If you are willing to change owner and permissions on all the files on /dev/hdb4 then you can do so and they will be available when mounted, but you cannot arbitrarily suspend existing permissions with just a mount operation. alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, This is one of those questions that we can't really answer, as the correct answer is "it depends". What do you want to do with this machine, what role does it have in life? If you ask me how would I partition a workstation, a busy mail server and a company file server, I'd give you three completely different answers I take it this is a workstation though (512M ram). For those it think it's a good idea to keep /home on a separate partition so it can easily be shared between distros. If you have several users who all need to get at the same shared data (like an mp3 collection) then putting that on a separate partition is also convenient. As for lvm - it is amazingly useful, and it's real use if often misunderstood: it lets you manipulate partitions and move them around. This is amazingly difficult without lvm and usually involves extra drives and moving many GB out of the way to make space. So lvm gives you no benefit in normal use, but the first time you need to shrink / to make a separate /home on a disk with no unpartitioned space, you'll thanks your lucky stars you used lvm :-) That swap size (452M) is ok for normal use. If you find that the machine is using lots of that swap in daily use, then you'll have to increase it. And if you need suspend/resume, then you'll need to increase that partition to at least the size of your ram. Actually, make it 1G minimum - ram upgrades are easy, and there's a good chacne you'll do it anyway in the future. alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

When you use the -k switch, portage is in a position to find and use the prebuilt package, so it will. When you don't use the -k switch, it won't use /usr/portage/packages per the man page, so there's no sense in even attemtping to look for that package - as there is no ebuild for that version, it cannot possibly build it Your last question doesn't make sense - how can portage check for an ebuild that you earlier clearly said does not exist? alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Just to take ZoneAlarm out of the equation: - Turn on the WinXP Firewall and turn on its logging. - disable ZA and then switch it off completely. Look in WinXP's Task Manager to make sure that no ZA processes are left running. - Try to connect to your VNC server and see what you get. If it doesn't connect check the WinXP Firewall logs.

[gentoo-user] ati-driver update
Hi, I have hp zv6000 (amd64) with ati radeon x200. I'm using: x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.24.8 or x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.5.8.0 Both work more less ok, but work.

It's no longer in portage. Oskar, You don't say which version of xorg you have and want to upgrade to, so I've going to have to take a guess and assume it's the latest stable, and that your $ARCH is amd64. x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1 is hardcode to require >= x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.0 >=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10 Not much you can do about that. You either have to find a version of the driver that does work and merge that, or start experimenting: Create a local overlay in /usr/local/portage - there's info on how to do this in the gentoo docs. Copy a modified xorg-xserver ebuild over to the overlay and edit the driver requirements. Build, see if it works. If so, leave it and use the overlay instead of the main portage tree. You can also find the older ebuilds on the net that worked for you and put them in the overlay as well. Someone mentioned a site here that does just that yesterday. Then at least you can revert to a known good version that portage won't nuke with every sync :-) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] how thorough is #emerge --sync?
I thought sync was supposed to "prime" portage to get the latest versions of software when needed. All sync does is download the latest ebuilds into your local portage tree. If the ebuild maintainers haven't gotten around to creating an ebuild for package 'foo-1.2.0' (the lastest) and are still using 'foo-0.8' then you're stuck with 'foo-0.8' unless you roll your own ebuild for 'foo-1.2.0'. Of course you're also welcome to submit the custom ebuild into bugzilla to get it included in portage for everyone else to benefit from. -Andrew Kay -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

He already said, why he did that. He was annoyed by the list of files that he's got to check after emerges, and somebody in the forum gave him this "hint". Well, it's correct - after setting this, he doesn't have to check any files at all anymore. Alexander Skwar -- Wait a minute, Marge. I saw "Mrs. Doubtfire."

Good enough? Can't argue with that *lol* can I call you UPSTREAM? ;) This is what I do in cases like this (not aimed at UPSTREAM, but for anyone's reference :) 1. look in /usr/portage to see if newer ebuild exists. - if it does, find out whether it's in ~x86, or hard masked, and decide if I want to explicitly unmask it (usually I do). 2. if no ebuild exists, check bugs.gentoo.org and see if anyone has requested it / submitted an ebuild that I can put in my overlay. 3. if not, I look at the app's homepage and see if I really want / need the latest features, and if so I submit a version bump request on bugs.gentoo.org, providing as much help in the testing process as I can. 4. if it's a very popular app, like gnome, then I look for unofficial ebuilds and put them in my overlay. If you try any of these options (unmask, overlay, or unofficial ebuild), then be prepared for issues / bugs. But that's what the game is all about :) HTH, -- Iain Buchanan In order to discover who you are, first learn who everybody else is; you're what's left. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Good enough? No, not good enough, as that doesn't matter at all. All that matters is, what's in the tree. And the latest stable version is 0.8, no matter what you think. The question remains: Why should a different version be offered? Alexander Skwar -- A closed mouth gathers no foot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
