The Red Star

Hi,

I have just experienced the "Red Star" trying to emerge ALSA on one of
my Gentoo systems.

The "Red Star" problem has the following symptoms:

1. An emerge is executed
2. The package is downloaded if required
3. The checksum is calculated
4. A mysterious red star "*" appears and nothing further happens

I'm running portage 2.0.33 with GCC 2.95.3 and have read about other
people having this problem emerging ALSA, Nvidia drivers and OpenOffice.

My guess is that there might be a new bug somewhere in Portage 2.0.33. I
have read some people have seen this in 2.0.32.

Does anyone have any insights to what is going on? I'm not a coding
expert but I can certainly help out with testing.

TIA

Greg

Not entirely portage (actually, not at all).

Yeah.  Will think of the proper fix now.

Another Gentoo Mirror in Korea

Hi,

You all are doing a great job. Thank you for everything.

It is very glad to announce you that we have set up 
a gentoo ftp mirror in Korea. It is located in an IDC
in korea, with a 100MB/s connection. Depending on the
traffic, we are pleased to extend the connection.

The URL is 

http://ftp.gentoo.or.kr
ftp://ftp.gentoo.or.kr

We have already been running rsync1.kr.gentoo.org and
the korean gentoo users' community to provide information
about gentoo in korea, such as translated documents,
our own ebuilds for korean applications, forums and the wiki. 

Our community itself is being run seperately from gentoo.org,
but it is only because korean people are comfortable with
korean language, so that i hope that our community be another
great support for gentoo.

Re: Fwd: AboutGentoo Linux

Hi, I'm not a developer but a user who started to use Gentoo last week, but
I also feel portage comfortable.

The day before yesterday I tried to put portage on Slackware, and all I did
was just copying portage tree, portage bin & lib (symlinks as well),
/var/cache/edb and /etc/make* stuff(accordingly /etc/env.d), but it seems
working now. You can merge, unmerge and upgrade you system with portage on
Slackware.

I made Slackware tgz package to install portage onto slack, but I don't
think you need it because it is too easy!

Have you tried testing or unstable? You could use testing/unstable packages
on stable using PIN or recompile testing/unstable packages from deb-src...

Just FYI, there is a project from NetBSD pkgsrc(although the number of
pkgsrc is limited compared to FreeBSD ports):

Re: zend accelerator2.1

I didn't install ZendAccelerator but another Zend product (Studio
Server) but I assume they are asking the same information.  What you
didn't tell us is which php file did it ask for.  If it is the php
program, then it resides in /usr/bin if it is looking for php.ini, then
it resides in /etc/php4

winex-cvs ebuild

Hello guys,

I added the winex-cvs ebuild to the official portage tree this morning. It uses Dan's wonderful cvs eclass
to fetch the latest cvs tree from transgaming's server. After that, it compiles winex and installs it into
/usr/lib/winex-cvs. The wrapperscript goes to /usr/bin and is called winex-cvs, the regedit script is
called regedit-winex-cvs. The config files go to ~/.winex-cvs. These steps are needed to make winex-cvs 
compatible with winex and wine - it's possible to have all three packages installed at the same time.

Take a look at the ebuild itself - you can set the WINEX_BRANCH. This is kinda useful if you want to get an older
winex-2.0 or whatever. If you don't know what i'm talking about, don't touch this setting. :)

I already created a bug for testing reports or feature requests:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7319

So long,
-phoen][x-

After emerging the newest readline ebuild.  I get this error, many times
when emerging anything else, or on some other things too (dailystrips does
this error a good 20 times).  What do I need to do?

the same for me (not for every print but certainly for some) and my laserjet
5l, and it really annoys me... The more often I only print a page or two...

I parsed the ppd file without having the slightest idea of what to adjust...
When manually invoking ghostscript, I've never encountered this problem. A
fix would be greatly appreciated there...
