[gentoo-user] /usr/portage/distfiles vs /var/cache/distfiles

2020-01-14 Thread Paul B. Henson
I recently installed a new server, and noticed that it is using /var/cache/distfiles rather than /usr/portage/distfiles. looking at the documentation, it seems that is the new default, and it says "new installations" will use it. I have older servers which are still using /usr/portage/distfiles

[gentoo-user] Amazon Corretto JDK?

2019-06-26 Thread Paul B. Henson
Has anybody tried out (or made an ebuild for) the Amazon Corretto jdk package? https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/ This looks like an interesting alternative that is no-cost and promises long term support. It will also be used for almost all AWS java deployments, so it should be well tested

[gentoo-user] openjdk?

2019-04-23 Thread Paul B. Henson
So Oracle java has a crappy license now, and I see on the dev list they're even talking about removing it from portage. However, openjdk has no stable version, and the ebuild contains: if use gentoo-vm ; then ewarn "WARNING! You have enabled the gentoo-vm USE flag, making this JDK"

Any dev thoughts on unmasking media-tv/mythtv-0.28? I don't generally have issues with keywording unstable packages for testing and deploying ahead of the curve, but I usually try to avoid things that are package masked, particularly on relatively production stuff like my daily dose of TV :). It l

http://www.linuxvoice.com/interview-lennart-poettering/ So it seems the reason (in Lennart Poettering's imagination at least) that Gentoo hasn't embraced systemd as our default init system is because we're all old and conservative? Not like those young Arch Linux power user whippersnappers who are
