Upstream is dead and there are many open bugs so it's a PITA to
maintain. Here are the open bugs about firestarter:

[gentoo-user] Wha' hoppen to firestarter?
I had firestarter-1.0.3 emerged for quite some time. I hadn't really
used it, but I'm a bit surprised now to find that it's interfering
with normal emerges because it's got a big red "M" smacked on it.
I suppose that means there's a problem with it, and it's explained in
some forum or list that I don't normally get. But now I'd like a
clue: what's the {prognosis, workaround, fix, alternative}. As I
mentioned, I hadn't really started to use it, but I'd like to have a
better firewall tool than building iptables scripts in vim.

RE: [gentoo-user] Again: Critical bugs considered invalid
Ok, my two cents on the matter. I am still new enough to the community to be considered an outsider, so here is an outsider's perspective. I hope not to step on toes, but it will probably happen anyway. First: Cosmetic things, i.e. user interface issues, pretty pictures, and things that effect the overall look and feel. If they do not stop the program from functioning, they are not high priority. It may be agitating to look at, but it is not a bug. However, This does not prevent you from putting in feedback, or even working on patches to change the offending behavior. Just don't expect cosmetic issues to be high priority to anyone other than the person submitting the feedback. There honestly are things out there that are thoroughly broken that need to be repaired first. I am guessing however that in the case of emerge, if you understand python (or even know enough to pick through the code a bit) that you can probably fix the issue yourself, and submit the fix. :-) Second: Bug reports for real bugs. Bug reports need to be thorough. If they do not provide enough information to reproduce a bug, or at least explain exactly what is going on, then it is hard for the developers and bug squashers to do anything about it. It may seem to you like they are "not doing their job" by not researching it, then conceder this. When you submit a bug, it is YOUR bug, not theirs. You have the primary responsibility for making sure they know what you are talking about. In the case listed in this thread, when the second bug was submitted including a more thorough description, and the research that had been done, it was taken care of promptly. A bug report is a good thing, but if they can't reproduce it, and don't have enough information to know what the problem is, they can't fix it. Third, and maybe most important: Configuration Issues. Many developers try to make sure to cover as many bases as they can when it comes to developing their software. For many applications, the vast majority of users will have a fairly standard setup. While this is not always the case, you need to conceder that many open source and free software applications are written first and foremost for the needs of the author. While this may sound a little callous or selfish, remember one thing. Free And Open Source Software is developed by volonteers, who also have real world jobs and lives. They develop tools that make their lives easier, and they share. They do not all have thousands of dollars to spend on investigating every possible platform that their program may be expected to run on. Mounting your config files for firefox from a coda file system is far from standard in anyone's books. If you know how to add that functionality without breaking anything that is already there, then write the patch and submit it. If not, then submit a thurough bug report, or a general request in the appropriate forums or mainling lists. Let them know exactly what your problem is, and what you would like done. Be polite, and be patient. If they do not bite the first try, it is not a personal snub. Most of us have never run into problems with firefox. And honestly, if the idea of creating a new profile would not work for you, then recreating your firefox directory, with "physical" copies of the symlinked files would do the trick as well. I know that does not address the issue of running the Config files from a coda system, but it would get things working under normal circumstances. I have lurked long enough to see a number of posts complaining about the bug Tracking system. In most cases the people complaining were hateful and said very little that was useful. They generaly stuck to name calling and the like. This is not to say they all did, but most. :/ I am sure that eventually I will have to submit a bug, and I may find myself having to hold my tongue to apply what I have seen here, but I will try to be understanding about it. To be honest, this is probably not the forum to complain about bug reports. Complaining about bugs is probably not bad though. It might be a good source of feedback to see if other people are having the same problem, or at least to get a general idea of how to format and word your bug before you actually submit it. ^_^ Basic summary: There are a lot of tools at your disposal. Know them, use them, love them. :) If you have problems with one of those tools, by all means ask questions. :) The Free Software and Open Source communities are run primarily by volonteers. Remember that when you are deciding how to approach them. Imagine if you just sunk three years into a project, and suddenly someone started attacking you because it didn't work perfectly on their system. Remember, bug reports take time. Track your bug, update your bug, make sure to keep the bug propperly fed or it might die. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

MPD requires a small amount of setup, but it's really nice and light. Sonata is a simple GTK client which seems pretty quick and light, but AFAIK doesn't do a couple of things which I don't really need (like EQ controls). Plus you can control MPD from a command line or script in a pinch using netcat, without even having the UI open. =) Henk Boom -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yeah, old hardware is fun to tinker with :) I got this machine for free from my roommate so I figure what the heck, let's put Gentoo on it!

No. I remember that thread and as far as I remember you were simply told that there were a lot of things you could do to solve the issue, but that whining of the users mailing list wasn't one of that. And when told to contact emerge developers you just told that their coding style showed they're too dumb people to dishonor yourself going down the stairs from the heavens to earth and talk to them. How it's different that from "When in doubt, scream and shout, run in circles, pull a pout." ? Note that the "atrocious color philosophy" wasn't even actually a bug: was just an annoying usability problem. Given that you were one of the very few to complain about it (not that you didn't have the right to complain, of course: I remember what the problem was and I'm quite sympathetic to you about it: but still, you were one of the few thinking it was actually really important) while other gentoo users happily use emerge and like (or at least do not find "atrocious") its colors, maybe the developers have a point in shifting the color problem down in the priority list.

Oh, please. Gentoo developers are just human beings. Developers are not renowned for their friendliness, and (like everyone else) sometimes they can be rude, nasty, unhelpful or plain stupid. I know that, I understand that. But how can one of the "bad" ones taint the other ones, is beyond my comprehension. Do you think Gentoo developers are a gang of teddy boys? You (and the OP) IMHO suffer of having not enough patience. Patience is a hard virtue to build, and it's painful to deal with. Still, you have to use it to gain something. You can't just do one, two attempts and then throw the towel. If the developer does not understand, try to understand why he does not. Probably your situation resembles a common problem that he's used to see people complain but that it is not a bug (like yours could be instead): explain carefully it. Try to get someone else to reproduce the bug and let him/her add up to your bug report. Show some will to collaborate in solving the problem. Have respect for their work, always: they owe you nothing, they're doing it for *free*, for you.

It does look like there are no 2007.0 stages with an i386 CHOST (probably because so few people actually want to install Gentoo on an real 386). So either you'd have to use stage 1 from 2007.0 (not supported) or stage3-x86 from 2006.1 (still supported). But the default-linux/x86/no-nptl profile is still stable and glibc-2.5 is unmasked on it so the point still stands until that profile becomes deprecated (and I doubt that will happen anytime soon). -- Bo Andresen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

According to wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaGX this processor, introduced in 1997, represents Cyrix's stab at combining the job of the CPU with hardware to process video and audio. After National Semi. bought out the company and sold the name and trademarks to Via, NS developed into the Geode processor line, which was then sold to AMD. Aside from being used in subcompact laptops, CTX EzBooks, and some Compaq Presarios, Casio tablet PCs, and by Sun in the Dover JavaStation, the chip has also been used in Arcade pinball machines. Unfortunately the cpu doesn't provide any L2 Cache, is heavily tied to its companion chipset (don't bother removing it, it won't work anywhere else ;-) ) And, of course, performance really sucks -- for one thing, close association with the PCI bus required the same processor clock speed as that bus, which you all know is a lot slower than a typical FSB in '97. Sounds like a fun project. Have you considered trying to get it to run without a har drive at all? I bet a server could provide NFS many times faster than the hard drive... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The example I see in etc/conf.d/distccd lists each allowed ip address
after its own --allow argument. Furthermore, you might consider
whether you'd rather allow anyone on your local subnet to connect --
for example if you add new hosts -- and specify in cidr notation
something like "--allow 192.168.1.0/24"
As it is now, i think only Robotech will be allowed to distribute code
on any host. I would think galactica would be included in that list,
but for some reason it doesn't seem to want to accept the connections.
I wonder, do you have MAKEOPTS set high enough on your systems to
compile on more than 2 computers at once? D
id you use distcc-config?
Have you set the configs to accept the number of jobs you want each
computer to accept maximum? This should be low for the pII and much
higher for the X2.
Finally, I wanted you to entertain the notion that if robotech's
make.conf (wait, are these names from Transformers?) is set to compile
for a PIII, with sse instructions and such, the PII may not be able to
do it, or if it can, might be required to build a crossdev toolchain
too. FWIW, pIIs on my network are no longer allowed to 'help' the
faster computers compile because they generally tend to slow them down
rather than speed them up.
Good luck!!

Re: [gentoo-user] Again: Critical bugs considered invalid
I see complaints about the bug reporting style, but no mea culpas. I had an experience with gentoo bugs recently which confirms his experience on a smaller level. The apache ebuilds used to recognize USERDIR to override the default "public_html" value. The 2.4 ebuilds discarded that for no reason. I filed a bug which was promptly closed for no good reason, only the bogus answer that the new configuraion files layout took care of it. I reopened it with a more detailed description of the problem and included the URL of the apache documentation which explains that the suexec binary has to be compiled with the USERDIR values known at compile time. A week later, the bug was properly closed with a better solution than the old 2.2 solution, and a more permanent solution than my home grown work around. Some may remember me from whining a month or two ago about the atrocious color philosophy with emerge. The reaction both times from the gentoo community was merely a repeat of what I have come to expect from several years of my own and from friends' and colleagues' experiences: blame the messenger. Lash out at the poster, don't bother to even investigate the problem. When in doubt, scream and shout, run in circles, pull a pout. I seldom complain any more. It's not worth the hassle and feedback, and it accomplishes nothing. The gentoo developers have enough bad eggs to tasint everybody. There are plenty of good eggs, but they need to speak up and stop the bad eggs from ruining their reputation. I liken it to cops: as long as the good ones won't turn in the bad ones for framing people, taking bribes, and general corrupt practices, the good cops are going to be tarred with the same brush as the bad ones. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.

Well, with a *full* backup on another machine, there's really no need to
remerge everything. That will take around 48 hours, and a full copy
back will take no more than say 3 hours. Boot off a LiveCD, delete and
redo as you need to, and copy the backup back. All the files go back in
their proper dirs, but on the volumes you have now newly created

I've thought about that too, but I was wondering what would truly be
easier. The dump/restore option sounds good, except that I don't have
another machine with a large enough harddrive to do the job (and am a
poor grad student with no cash for another HD :( ) I do, however, have
another machine running a full backup of this machine using backuppc

It should be already there, shouldn't it?
In that case, probably /lib/udev/cdrom_id doesn't catch it, so just
adding the above lines another time won't help. Of course, a simple
rule like
KERNEL=="sg0", SYMLINK="dvd"
should be enough. And you certainly shouldn't edit distribution
provided udev rules w/o good reason, but rather create a new rules file
below /etc/udev/rules.d (so that further distribution updates of udev
don't require you to merge config files).

[gentoo-user] Distcc borkage: Connection reset by peer
Hi all,
Distcc seems to not be working properly on one or all of my 3 systems.
I have :
Galactica 192.168.1.22 Pentium 2 (Problem system)
Robotech 192.168.1.40 Pentium 3
Optimus 192.168.1.80 AMD64 AthlonX2 (crossdev setup)
All are Gentoo with distcc installed and configured. Optimus is solely
a helper system to the other two as far as distcc is concerned. If I
emerge something on Robotech, both Robotech and Optimus are used, but
Galactica seems to be ignored with no error messages. When I try on
Galactica, I get numerous
"distcc[910] (dcc_writex) ERROR: failed to write: Connection reset by peer
distcc[910] Warning: failed to distribute ckkv.c to 192.168.1.22,
running locally instead"
messages, also listing the other two ip's 40 and 80.
"cat /etc/distcc/hosts" on all three results in "192.168.1.80
192.168.1.40 192.168.1.22". They all have "sys-devel/distcc-2.18.3-r10"
and "/etc/conf.d/distccd" modified the same way :
DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --allow 192.168.1.40 192.168.1.80
192.168.1.22"
Distccd was restarted after any config changes.
All three have i686-pc-linux-gnu toolsets/chosts, and as far as I can
tell should work. No firewalls are in place for testing, distccd port is
open on all three (confirmed with nmap), and I'm out of ideas on where
to look for problems.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
