There's a fair bit of info about it floating around upstream. The Frameworks split has involved a great deal of cleanup, with a focus on continuous integration and pushing functionality to Qt where appropriate. The move from a single monolithic kdelibs to about 60 small frameworks will also drive adoption of the platform as it substantially reduces dependency bloat. As for Gentoo, we're just following upstream. :-) There's many more ebuilds than before, but packaging is a lot simpler. Given that it's early days both up and downstream, I wouldn't yet recommend Plasma 5 on Gentoo for someone that's not at least a little bit adventurous. I'd be interested to know what KDE negatives you've experienced/heard in the past though.

So I'm using this document as a reference: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Btrfs_native_system_root#Installing_the_MBR I ran the o option on both disks and it is the only deviation from the document: Command (? for help): o This option deletes all partitions and creates a new protective MBR. Proceed? (Y/N): Y So using cgdisk I end up with: Disk /dev/sda: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: A278FD71-0AFC-448C-817F-BAA52F97F6E1 Device Start End Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 8191 3M BIOS boot partition /dev/sda2 8192 1024000 496M Linux filesystem /dev/sda3 1026048 3907029134 1.8T Linux filesystem Disk /dev/sdb: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 08A52E74-1A4D-4681-9BF6-0F3A436251E0 Device Start End Size Type /dev/sdb1 2048 8191 3M BIOS boot partition /dev/sdb2 8192 1024000 496M Linux filesystem /dev/sdb3 1026048 3907029134 1.8T Linux filesystem /dev/sda is identical (HD are same make/model).

How and where would I modify that page if I intend to use openrc, if at all? all discussion, comments and suggestions are welcome. James

[gentoo-user] screen / tmux wierdness
Hi, I have two computers: A small embedded system (beaglebone black) running Gentoo with commandline interface and my PC running Gentoo with X and using urxvt for commandline actions. On both TERM is set to xterm-256color and both are using zsh as shell. On the beaglebone black I cannot use tmux because C-b is not recognized as command prefix. On the PC I cannot use screen because C-a is not recognized as command prefix. I would like to have the choice on both system what terminal multiplexer to use. What can cause this weird behaviour? How can I fix it? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc

I have isolated-functions.sh in two places:
/usr/lib64/portage/python2.7/isolated-functions.sh
/usr/lib64/portage/python3.3/isolated-functions.sh
but not in /usr/lib64/portage/python3.4 (which I didn't know was installed til
now)
You might want to check the target machine for which version of python it's
using
and that it has the latest version of portage in /usr/lib/portage/pythonN.N/
Maybe running python-updater would help?
Tried switching to python 2.7 but got the same error.
The line of the error in isolated-functions.sh is calling a function
__eapi_has_nonfatal. That is defined in eapi.sh and checks if ${EAPI} !=
0, 1, 2 or 3, which effectively leave 4 or 5.
It seems that the glibc ebuild is EAPI 0 (from
/var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-2.19-r1/EAPI).
So I guess that the error means that it tried to run the
glibc_compile_test and failed for the binary install, so emerge tried to
raise a nonfatal error, but that wasn't supported by the EAPI and that
caused the emerge to die.
I wonder if setting EAPI=5 in the ebuild file will help, of if that
would just cause other problems... I might try that later when I have
some time...

I've found a solution at:

With the package shipped

In order to fix it, you must supply the following string:

and modify line 2977
$url .= http://$config{$h}{'server'}/auth/dynamic.html; -- $url .=

Though I'm not sure which file is talking about in the last two lines: and

I've changed in ddclient.conf

[gentoo-user] Was Vim compiled with +eval feature?
I have downloaded the snippet plugin from
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=361
and have done all the steps described there to
install it but, unfortunately, it does not work.
My first thought was that a plugin should be somehow
loaded into Vim but Vim documentation says that
Vim's functionality can be extended by adding plugins.
A plugin is nothing more than a Vim script file that
is loaded automatically when Vim starts. You can add
a plugin very easily by dropping it in your plugin
directory. {not available when Vim was compiled
without the +eval feature}
So, it seems that no load command is needed.
I am going to post the question about it in vim mailing list
but I guess that the first question to me will be: Was your
vim compiled with the +eval feature?
I guess that the answer is yes but do not know it for sure.
To find out this I have tried
$ equery uses vim
but it gives no exact answer to the question above
(though it seems that the answer is yes, I guess
it from the fact that the minimal use flag is disabled).
Here is the output from this command:
* Found these USE flags for app-editors/vim-7.4.273:
U I
+ + X : Link console vim against X11 libraries to
enable title and clipboard features in xterm
+ + acl : Add support for Access Control Lists
- - cscope : Enable cscope interface -- in vim for example
- - debug : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts
and extra output. If you want to get meaningful
backtraces see
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
+ + gpm : Add support for sys-libs/gpm (Console-based mouse driver)
- - lua : Enable Lua scripting support
- - luajit : Use dev-lang/luajit instead of dev-lang/lua
- - minimal : Install a very minimal build (disables, for example,
plugins, fonts, most drivers, non-critical features)
+ + nls : Add Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale
utilities)
- - perl: Add optional support/bindings for the Perl language
- - python : Add optional support/bindings for the Python language
+ + python_single_target_python2_7 : Build for Python 2.7 only
- - python_single_target_python3_3 : Build for Python 3.3 only
+ + python_targets_python2_7 : Build with Python 2.7
+ + python_targets_python3_3 : Build with Python 3.3
- - racket : Enable support for Scheme using
dev-lang/racket
- - ruby : Add support/bindings for the Ruby language
- - tcl: Add support the Tcl language
- - vim-pager : Install vimpager and vimmanpager links
More generally, I would also ask if there is something
specific in Gentoo Vim setup that could prevent a Vim
plugin from executing?
P.S. I have also tried to load all the plugins by
:runtime! plugin/**/*.vim
command as described in Vim documentation but it says:
Error detected while processing ~/.vim/plugin/snippet.vim:
line 28:
E15: Invalid expression: exists(loaded_snippets)
