Re: [gentoo-user] gradle as source? How safe are overlays?

[Viktar Patotski]

Usually all gradle projects contain gradle wrappers (gradlew.bat and
gradlew.sh). If you have them, you just need Java and run: ./gradlew build

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: WARNING: Do not update your system on ~amd64

[Viktar Patotski]

Hi All,

First of all thanks for this thread! It helped me a lot. In short:

I was not able to login to my notebook after battery discharge reboot...
Thanks, I always have Gentoo live USB drive. So:

1. I booted to livecd
2. chrooted to my system (thanks I still not encrypted my hdd)
3. emerge --ask --update --newuse --deep @world
4. reboot
5. Happy Login!

:-)

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel config for Docker

[Viktar Patotski]

hey,

to solve this part:
- /dev/zfs: missing
- zfs command: missing
- zpool command: missing


Do `emerge sys-fs/zfs` and reboot.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo Tinderboxes?

[Viktar Patotski]

Being honest, I also have some rather powerful hardware that is completely
free over the night and weekends. I was also thinking if it's possible to
build some additional QA using this box and "dev-python/ebuildtester". This
is very good initiative and idea. In order to get it implemented it's
better to create GLEP and see what could be done.

Thanks,
Viktar

Re: [gentoo-user] Borg 1.1 is out, when can we expect it in the repos?

[Viktar Patotski]

Hi,

The proper to get it done is to submit an upgrade request to
https://bugs.gentoo.org/ . And then even probably provide ebuild for
maintainers to pick it up.

Best regards,
Viktar

[gentoo-user] Running Gentoo infrastructure on MacOS

[Viktar Patotski]

Hi List,

I know that it's possible to install Gentoo as a dual boot on a Mac Book.
However I do like MacOs interface and it's power saving features. So, I
have a question: Is there any way to have MacOs booted, but use Gentoo
infrastructure (portage, packages etc.)? I'm aware of VirtualBox and
similar options, but is there a way to be integrated in more easy way?
Something similar to container based virtualisation?

Thanks,
Viktar

Re: [gentoo-user] can't launch skype...

[Viktar Patotski]

Hi, I had the same problem. Managed to solve it following way:
1. make sure that skype process not running
2. Backup your ~home/.skype and than delete it.
3. Start skype normally.

This way you loose all history which was stored on your PC, but skype runs
normally. You can restore chats history from backup you made earlier.

[gentoo-user] Perl-cleaner failing

[Viktar Patotski]

Hi,

I'm trying to run
   perl-cleaner --reallyall

And it fails with following reason:

Total: 137 packages (5 upgrades, 1 downgrade, 2 new, 129 reinstalls), Size
of downloads: 222 kB

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve it?

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl-cleaner failing

Thanks for your reply, Yes I tried to update. But packages failing to
install because of some perl XML libriaries problems. I googled and found
suggestions to run perl-cleaner and it doesn;t run for me.

Thanks

It seems to me that there is a problem with:
virtual/perl-Locale-Maketext-Simple-0.210.0-r3:0/0::gentoo which tries to
emerge dev-lang/perl-5.16.3, while dev-lang/perl-5.18.2:0 is used in the
system.

I think this is a bug.

  Exclude those with --exclude ...; as perl-cleaner needs to be run after
  a Perl upgrade (not only Perl, but also its libraries), and if that as
  part of a system upgrade didn't completely go well then perl-cleaner
  will come across blockers due to an inconsistent system state.


 Sometimes I have to run these commands several times to
 clean up perl:

 perl-cleaner --modules

 perl-cleaner --all

 rinse and repeat as necessary
