[gentoo-dev] RFC: using .xz for doc/man/info compression

2014-05-11 Thread Michał Górny
Hello, developers. I'd like to raise the following item for discussion: making .xz the default compressor used by portage for documentation, man pages and info files. That is, the equivalent of: PORTAGE_COMPRESS=xz in make.globals. Rationale: xz-utils is quite widespread nowadays and it is a

[gentoo-dev] The gx86-multilib project needs your help! (+ roadmap reminder)

2014-05-11 Thread Michał Górny
Hello, developers and users. The gx86-multilib project is working hard to bring our users a better experience in multilib support. Eventually, we would like to phase out emul-linux and replace it with less flawed multilib-build solution. However, that requires a lot of work and we need your help.

[gentoo-dev] New category lxqt-base

2014-05-11 Thread Jauhien Piatlicki
Hi all, LXQt 0.7.0 has been released [1]. As it is project different from LXDE and will be supported in parallel with it, it seems like a good idea add a new category lxqt-base. For previous discussion see [2] and [3]. The packages that will go into this category are: compton-conf libqtxdg

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: Banning modification of pkg-config files

2014-05-11 Thread hasufell
Sure, this is a more complex problem. My point is, for pkg-config files it is relatively easy to fix stuff that depends on non-standard files (I can write a devmanual section about that, but err... this is really trivial). The amount of these downstream pkg-config files is not as big as you might

[gentoo-dev] RFC: enabling ipc-sandbox network-sandbox by default

2014-05-11 Thread Michał Górny
Hi, everyone. Almost 9 months ago I've committed three new FEATURES for portage: cgroup, ipc-sandbox and network-sandbox. Today I'd like to propose enabling at least the latter two by default. Firstly, I'd like to shortly remind you what they do: 1. cgroup -- puts all processes spawned by

A lot of small files (e.g. AUTHORS, ChangeLog FWIW: On my system, I have 59M of bz2 files in /usr/share/man and /usr/share/doc. A short script to decompress those and recompress with xz -6e reduced that to 36M. I don't have a comparison for individual file differences. I posted the short bash
