Re: [gentoo-user] Git for gentoo users?

SVN works on files, so you commit files. git works with consistent contained diffs so you commit a bunch of diffs as a unit to your repo after adding a new file to the list of stuff to be tracked. As Linux says, when confronted with two choices and no clear winner between them, pick the opposite to what cvs does. Perhaps the git devs went a tad overboard in being contrary :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Re: [gentoo-user] A Glitch in the Matrix or just another burb of emerge... ;)

ind and face and by no means meant > as critsm. But please: Make emerge a little more ... understandable ... It's a hard problem to solve, and portage doesn't really know the solution. It likely knows how to make itself shut up (remove the low version compilers) but that's unlikely to *solve* it. Maybe you really want to have 4.4 and 4.9, portage doesn't know how it can give that to you so it brain dumps everything it's got and tells you to figure it out. I think we're all going to have to live with this, it's a problem unique to Gentoo and the amount of complexity we support. Price of flexibility I guess -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Re: [gentoo-user] extracting text, numbers from screencasts

tible with > computers, which makes them useless for anything else but > making phone calls. Huh? da fuck you talkin' 'bout? My trusty collection of Android devices would be very surprised to hear they now don't have real CPUs, wifi chips, RAM and storage. Or can't run a web browser, do email, instant chat, play x264 video with less cpu load than my 8 core laptop, share with smb on the network, do bluetooth, video calls or any of the other bazzillion things computers have always done with each other. How odd. I really thought my Android phones could do all of that.

Re: how to share a directory tree with files in it with multiple users (Re: [gentoo-user] local shared directory)

tem objects in shares it controls. To be accurate, it runs as root and presents the perms you want to the user, but only when accessing the files via samba. Look at these options in smb.conf create mask = 664 force create mode = 664 security mask = 664 force security mode = 664 directory mask

Re: [gentoo-user] And thus the emerge spake...

uldn't go so far as to call it a "bug" as such, because nothing in the spec requires a package manager to guarantee that it will always find the best way to upgrade everything. It only needs to keep the system consistent with the ebuilds it has. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
