[gentoo-user] GCC only for priviliged users?
Hi! I thought that GCC could means a risk if all of the users of my system are able to run it! I talked this with a friend and he propossed to create a new group, "compiler", for example, where all the users who will be able to run gcc must belong to it! Wouldn't be interesting to implement this into Gentoo gcc ebuild as an USE? -- Jesús García Crespo (aka Sevein) http://www.sevein.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key ID: E2DB17E8 (pgp.escomposlinux.org) signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Sharing portage in my LAN without rsync?
Hi! Was Portage developed to work with a /usr/portage directory mounted from another computer with NFS or SMB? I did it and it worked. I thought this way could be easier than rsync when you have maybe two or three computer working with the same network-shared directory. But I noticed a poor performance even when the newtwork connection is very good. And I get messages like this: jgm jgm # emerge -upDv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies -QA Notice: USE Flag 'userland_Darwin' not in IUSE for dev-lang/perl-5.8.7 \QA Notice: USE Flag 'elibc_uclibc' not in IUSE for sys-devel/libperl-5.8.5-r1 QA Notice: USE Flag 'elibc_uclibc' not in IUSE for sys-devel/libperl-5.8.5 QA Notice: USE Flag 'userland_Darwin' not in IUSE for sys-devel/libperl-5.8.7 -QA Notice: has_version() in global scope: dev-php/mod_php-4.4.0 QA Notice: has_version() in global scope: dev-php/mod_php-4.4.0 QA Notice: has_version() in global scope: dev-php/mod_php-4.3.11 QA Notice: has_version() in global scope: dev-php/mod_php-4.3.11 QA Notice: has_version() in global scope: dev-php/mod_php-4.4.0-r1 QA Notice: has_version() in global scope: dev-php/mod_php-4.4.0-r1 [...] What's wrong? Maybe I should think seriously about to mirror the portage directory with rsync? Is not this a good way? I have another situation. I have a Gentoo Linux running as a server. It runs also another linux inside thanks to UserMode-Linux. To avoid having two portage directories, I use hostfs (UML stuff) to share the portage between the two computers but in the Linux one where the portage is not, I get the same errors messages and the performance is so slow too!

Re: [gentoo-user] Why gpm?
You have net-misc/dhcpcd, a DHCP client only. -- Jes_s Garc_a Crespo (aka Sevein) http://www.sevein.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key ID: E2DB17E8 (pgp.escomposlinux.org) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Why gpm?
Hi! I don't understand why gpm was included in the Gentoo base system. It was not in there before and I didn't find information about the reasons. But I could tell you my case: I installed Gentoo in my dedicated server in EEUU (I am from Spain) and I had to uninstall gpm since I won't use it anymore. I think that, for example, dhcpcd would be more logical to be included than gpm, don't you think so? Sorry for my bad English. And thanks all! :) -- Jesús García Crespo (aka Sevein) http://www.sevein.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
