[gentoo-dev] unmounting a filesystem mounted by /init (initramfs)

2005-07-28 Thread Rafael Espíndola
I am trying to build a system that uses a unionfs as root. The init script is based on the one used by gentoo and uses initramfs. The problem is how to remount the unionfs constituents read only during halt. cat /proc/mounts displays /dev/hda1 (ext2) mounted rw in /memory. The problem is that /mem

[gentoo-dev] union fs support

2005-07-28 Thread Rafael Espíndola
I am building a small system based on gentoo. The system is installed in a squashfs and has a ext2 added via unionfs. The ext2 is in hda1 and the squashfs is in hda2. I was very pleased to find out that very little tweaking was necessary in the linuxrc and initrd.scripts of genkernel 3.3. In initr

In fact I am sure they don't catch everything: given a Turing machine one can replace all halts by a "do something with flex". So it is undecidable if x11 rdepends on fle

[gentoo-dev] xorg's RDEPEND

2005-05-18 Thread Rafael Espíndola
I noticed that xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1.ebuild has a very big RDEPEND. For example, is there really a need for flex after xorg has been compiled? Thanks for comments, Rafael The RDEPEND: >=sys-libs/zlib-1.1.3-r2 >=sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r5 >=dev-libs/expat-

[gentoo-dev] get_number_of_jobs

2005-05-12 Thread Rafael Espíndola
Why does get_number_of_jobs reduces the number of parallel jobs to "to ensure successful merge"? In my humble opinion if a package fails to compile with a large -j then the ebuild should know the limit and reduce it. An example of the problem: My machine has one processor but there are many icecc

[gentoo-dev] libstdc++-v3-3.4.3

2005-05-12 Thread Rafael Espíndola
I know that the libstdc++v3 is intended to help in the migration to gcc 3.4. But I also find it usefull to build very small installations without gcc. For this reason I have ported the ebuild to gcc 3.4.3. Should I submit a bug report with it? Rafael Ávila de Espíndola # Copyright 1999-2005 Gento
