Portage doesn't but you should be able to write your own. Change your script to keep track of the revision you build against and if that number increments then the repo has been updated. -a

[gentoo-user] limit maximum memory size of any process
Hello. In my daily us of computer any process that takes more than 50% of the memory (I read from top, not knowing if this is 50% of 384MB physical or 50% of having 800MB swap counted in) must have gone wrong, and usually drag performance down to such extent that killing it is impossible (because not possible to launch a terminal window to type kill -TERM). Examples are: 1. Firefox opens a broken website that wish to send 10M binary content to the browser window; 2. OpenOffice opens a document incorrectly; 3. Mistake in Java software (usually it keep eating memory); I hope I can configure the system so that any process uses more than 50% of memory are automatically killed. first I was recommend to use ulimit by googling around. However this seems doesn't work even if I set both -d and -m (here is my .xinitrc) ~$ cat .xinitrc #export [EMAIL PROTECTED] #fcitx & ulimit -d 30 ulimit -m 300 exec /usr/bin/fluxbox Result: OpenOffice stands still even when it takes 80% memory (read from top). So: is ulimit the solution? If so, what option should I set? My current ulimit is: $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) 30 scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 3072 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32 max memory size (kbytes, -m) 300 open files (-n) 1024 pipe size(512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 3072 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited -- Real Softservice Huateng Tower, Unit 1788 Jia 302 3rd area of Jinsong, Chao Yang Tel: +86 (10) 8773 0650 ext 603 Mobile: 159 7382 http://www.realss.com

[gentoo-user] Update svn ebuilds only when necessary
Is there a way to to update svn packages only when there are updates in the svn source? Actually I use a script to grep "" from eix -I output and put all those packages in a package set, then I have a cron job to rebuild this set weekly. What I'd like to do is to only fetch the svn sources, and rebuild the packages if sources have been updated since last build, saving lots of compilations. Does portage (or any other tool) provide a way to do it? pgpYiCYYPglJe.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Vanilla linux 2.6.27.4 + nvidia drivers == problems
Hi, I was using the vanilla linux kernel 2.6.27.4 from ftp.kernel.org. Compiling nvidia drivers 173.14.12 for this kernel fails. Compiling nvidia drivers 177.80 for this kernel results in non-functional X (black screen, nothing else, reboot necessary via CTRLALTDEL). According to lspci I am using a nVidia Corporation GeForce 7600 GT (rev a2) PCI card. Before posting dumps and logs I want to ask, whether this is a general problem, a "bug in front of monitor"-problem or something totally different??!?!?!

I really wish they wouldn't do that, especially for hang or crash bugs. I know people without the problem don't want to recompile OOo, but it's annoying to have to watch bugzilla or the changelog to see if the ebuild has been fixed. I agree. This should only be done for build problems, not runtime problems. I think there's even a policy in place for that; if it doesn't build, change the ebuild. If it crashes at runtime, bump the revision.

My understanding is that disk driver changes in the kernel have resulted in the replacement of IDE subsystem drivers with a "universal" (SCSI based) subsystem. A side effect of this is device name changes, notably /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX. I'm not sure that this is 100% accurate because I don't track kernel changes as closely as some folks. HTH, David

If so, what option should I set? I interpret the above as "use a maximum of 300,000 KiB of memory, of which 300 may be resident (i.e. in physical memory) and 299,700 swapped out." That doesn't sound good, although I'm not sure I'm reading it correctly. What I do is use /etc/sercurity/limits.conf (from pam_limits) with a couple of entries like those: | @users hardnproc 1000 | mb hardnproc 5000 | @users hardas 2097152 | mb hardas 6291456 | mb hardnice-5 | mb hardrtprio 5 Meaning, everyone but me (mb) may use up to 1000 processes per login, with a max. address space of 2 GiB each; for myself the limit is 6 GiB and 5k processes. Myself I cannot accidentially set a negative nice-value because I left the soft limit at its default (0 for non-root users) but using ulimit I can set it to the hard limit of -5 and nice-up processes even as a normal user. cheers, Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

Tricky one. I couldnt do the same with gentoo+debian. You can find both gcc versions by running gcc -v .

What to do to run app under icons of KDE desktop? Windows have something called layers to push visualization or movie into specified color.

After reading some of the comments here, I re-synced, unmerged Ooo, and emerged openoffice and hunspell. I already had the myspell-en build. The result: a clean compile, as near as I can tell, but useless. Now it quits silently a second or so into any startup, with or without a filename on the command line. No message on the terminal where I start it, and no clue I can see about what's wrong. I'm back to MSOffice. I hate it but it works. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

If you chroot from a livecd, you need to bind mount dev to your chroots dev first. And there is no reason to redo the installation. Grub is sometimes REALLY annoying to setup. But usually it works as long as you are staying close to the tutorial in info grub.

no. This is normal. /dev is populated by udev. If you chroot from a
livecd,
you need to bind mount dev to your chroots dev first.
And there is no reason to redo the installation. Grub is sometimes
REALLY

"/dev is populated by udev. If you chroot from a livecd,
you need to bind mount dev to your chroots dev first." How do I do this
...?
