[gentoo-user] Syntax for set files
Anyone know a link to documentation on what the syntax is in portage's set files?

I use the enlightenment-niifaq overlay which ships with some awesome predfined sets. But source code for some of those ebuilds are broken. I really don't feel like maintaining my own sets for this.

Those warnings are there for a reason - it's how devs let you know that
stuff has changed, that the change will make stuff break, and how to
fix or prevent it. They are not there for decoration or fluff.
You should set the ELOG options in make.conf to store these warnings in
some persistent place (log files, mail them, whatever) so you can go
through them at your leisure.
My usual routine for doing a global update is
emerge -avuND world
conf-update
emerge -av @preserved-rebuild
revdep-rebuild -p -i (then without -p if something is found)
emerge -a --depclean
view portage logs and do what they say
often followed by doing one or more steps again to ensure all is clean
I haven't been adversely hit by an upgrade for over a year now. I put
it down to using the portage tools correctly in the way they were
designed to be used.

I had enough memory to keep up with it but it still filled ca. 6GB of RAM for a single .c file. Then it went back down. If you experience the same, I guess adding swap is reasonable as you won't need it for the whole time. P.S: Did you consider using a bin-pkg from a different system?

[gentoo-user] Recovering MySQL Database from EXT4 Formatted Hard Disk ...
Hello, I am trying to recover MySQL databases (which were properly shut down) from an EXT4 formatted hard disk. I loaded the SystemRescueCD distro that you can get online and when running TestDisk I can see the partitions but I cannot recover said partitions because it tells me the structure is bad (any options here, by the way?) With PhotoRec, I can recover parts of the MySQL Database but I cannot get the important *.MYD files because I guess PhotoRec doesn't have the signatures for that type of file. So, any options I have at this point? Thank you for your time.

Always do that, actually. But Eray's explanation about postfix's new 'home'
