To create a very clear directory structure for a small binary Linux distribution I am planning to build using Gentoo and Portage. This reminds me very much of [1]. Basically it's a lot harder to support than you think it is and any voodoo patch you might come up with to support it in portage is very unlikely to be accepted. ROOT is the closest thing that is supported and unlike altering prefix in the ebuilds or setting EXTRA_ECONF=--prefix=/blah it actually works for packages that don't use autotools properly. As detailed in `man make.conf` all build time dependencies of packages that are installed in a ROOT different from / will need to be installed in / (automatically by portage) so it's far from ideal for this purpose. Changing --prefix is much more ideal either as it won't magically make things work in different locations anymore than ROOT will. Adding paths to *PATH environment variables will be required and that's a manual task that you'll need to do. In short - this seems like an awful lot of hassle for absolutely no gain.

To create a very clear directory structure for a small binary Linux distribution I am planning to build using Gentoo and Portage. This doesn't make sense to me. ROOT is the option to specify another ROOT directory. The layout below that ROOT might be configurable for some applications, some other are expecting their files in certain paths. You can override the configure settings, but this won't win you much since some programs don't use autoconf (and there's good reason not to use this can of worms!). Also, the applications' behaviour is absolutely untested (e.g. some apps simply rely on finding their initial data below /usr/share, being able to write to /var/run and so on). This is why we have good package managers on Linux. They deal with the logical structure (i.e. packaging) of the files. BTW, ROOT will win you nothing here since you want to create binary-packages, not install them. Maybe you can try and mangle the archives, so that they resemble the directory structure you want. But I still can't see how that could overcome applications' built-in assumptions, except you are thinking of tricks like unionfs or (hard/soft-)linking into a LFS-oriented structure after installing the packages. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Ok, that's what I needed to know.
However, on a sidenote, I must say I find the current emerge syntax
quite confusing. Using the % for both newly added and removed and () for
either forced, masked and removed is not the best of ideas, imho.
If % means newly, there should at least be two circumfix symbols for
added and removed, respectively.
Something like:
(%flag) : newly added
[%flag] : newly removed
(flag) : forced
[flag] : removed
{flag} : masked
But I'm still confused: why should you see an added or removed warning
*if it's not new*?

are related.
But I'm still confused: why should you see an added or removed warning
*if it's not new*?
Because it's quite confusing to type `emerge --newuse --verbose world` and see
packages getting remerged that according to the output from emerge didn't
change their use flags. --newuse is sensitive to IUSE changes and hence the
output needs to reflect all changes to IUSE.

[gentoo-user] Xserver on Dell Inspiron M1710
Hi all, I'm having a heck of a time. I've tried so many things, that I'm totally confused. After installing xorg-x11, I ran Xorg -configure. It gives me a file with no horizontal or vertical sync. I tried using the ddcxinfo-knoppix tool, but when I did ddxcinfo-knoppix -hsync, it returned 0 0. When I did ddxcinfo-knoppix -modelines, it didn't have a matching mode for my monitor - the default being 1920x1200. I assume that because I don't have a horizontal and vertical sync in my xorg.conf file that's why the screen becomes all garbled when startx bombs out. Xorg.0.log tells me that there is no core keyboard or mouse. I've built support into the kernel. in /dev/input/ there are choices for mice mouse0 and mouse1. I've tried using all of these and trying various drivers, but nothing works. Does anyone have a Dell Inspiron M1710 and will let me take a look at their xorg.conf file? Any and all help would be appreciated. Regards, Colleen -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm having some problems setting a wireless network consisting of a gentoo ap, one gentoo station and one Windows XP station. I've followed the instructions on the madwifi.org and on gentoo specialized forums and wiki. Seems like the wireless part of the network is just fine and every station can connect to the ap, but I can't do more than ping the hosts in the winxp station and the gentoo station connects to the network but can't do nothing... not even ping the ap. Nothing wrong with logs and signal... but it seems that all the network services and protocols (tcp, udp and icmp for the gentoo station) aren't working. The strange thing is that the Windows XP host can ping the ap, however it can't get a dhcp address and even using static IP can't access services on the AP like http and ssh. This machine can ping hosts on the internet but can't access tcp or udp services. Iptraf on the AP reports the connections. The other Gentoo workstation can scan and connect to the network but can't do nothing more.

It sets my IP just fine, but the MAC address is WEIRD and there's no link. That MAC address looks like it could be a Firewire ethernet interface. Does ifconfig -a show your correct MAC address on another interface? If so, it is probably your persistent net rules messing things up, but if you don't use Firewire for ethernet, it's probably easiest to disable the eth1394 module. -- Neil Bothwick Drive not ready: (R)etry (G)o to Impulse (C)all Engineering signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Are you running ~arch or plain arch? If the latter, I think udev-110 has defaulted to blacklisting the offending module precisely because of problems with the interfaces getting juggled about. -- /PA -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
