Hello all,
Usually on gentoo when gentoo-sources gets updated, updating the kernel
went as follows:
eselect kernel set {new kernel}
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
and then there was a totally clean config which I would then customize
for the specific setup.
On one box I am currently run

Historically, when an update to portage came available, portage would
put it at the head of the list, build it first, then re-run emerge
world command.
I've seen lately that this no longer happens, portage updates are any
old place in the list just like all other packages.
I'm wondering why this

Hello everybody,
Does anybody know how to get acpi_fakekey on gentoo? Maybe there are
ways to mimic the functionality via other methods?
I wanted to make some more acpi keys working, but I do not know any
other methods than acpi_fakekey.
Thanks,
Ignas

Hi list,
Is there a way to set the Java VM based on program?
For the most part I would like to keep icedtea-bin-7 as my system VM,
but there is one program (jabref-2.6) which doesn't run well with
java-7, but works fine with icedtea-bin-6.
Is there a "Gentoo" way of setting this?
Thanks,
