it is actually encouraged to update bugzilla when changes are made in the

Hi,
I have founded a new Gentoo Project for the Gentoo User Overlay.
The intention is to give contributors a single place to put their ebuilds -
a place where they can be downloaded, updated and be moved to portage more
easily than through bugzilla. It is also a good place for users who would

Hi,
today I would like to propose a few default keywords for removal. They are
outdated and no longer needed on current systems:
-apm - only very old notebooks use apm
-foomaticdb - foomaticdb is only used for development foomatic xml files.
SInce most of our users do not develop printer drivers

Hi,
there are at least two problems with how portage currently handles locales:
- Firstly some packages fail to build with obscure LC_* settings
The continuous stream of et_EE bugs is annoying: http://tinyurl.com/jsqzb
- and secondly I get my gcc output in german when I have a german locale

Otoh LC_ALL=C could help if you intend to use a .utf-8 locale as root,
though. So if it does help solving bugs and causes no trouble, why not.
ok, we have prepared a patch now, so everyone can have a look at it.

et_EE breakage should be fixed, and slowly but surely is[..]
That is your main problem here and I have discussed this in IRC with you and
it is true in my opinion that it does not improve gentoo or make the
distribution any better to close

Why does this have to be fast tracked all of a sudden?
Because someone took care of it eventually and it will fix all the estonian

run emerge again with LC_ALL=C.
And I think it should go in as soon
There is also a darcs.eclass in the zugaina overlay (available through
layman) if you need some more inspiration.
I think this is cool and a darcs eclass should definitely live in the tree.
Please add it, so that we can start using it :)

Do we really need this package?
There is ghostscript:
/usr/bin/ps2ascii
as well as:
/usr/bin/ps2pdf
+ poppler:
/usr/bin/pdftotext
Does that replace the functionality?
