[gentoo-dev] Thanks! Very Good Linux!

[Yevgeny Grigoryev]

Hello gentoo-dev,

  Thank you! I download Gentoo Linux 1.0_rc5 and install it.
  Before this, I had FreeBSD 4.3 Stable, and portage system for
  me in linux - is a very good idea.

  I find this bugs:

   1.
    # info
    info: dir not found
    (in /usr/share/info not have a ./dir , i run mkinfodir manuality)
    
   2. Where insert: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R ???
     I insert this line in /etc/env.d/01by_me

   3. gpm need /dev/mouse (default)
      but /dev - fs and all symbolic links dye after umount-mount
      (reboot system or else ...)

Best regards,
 Yevgeny                          mailto:norfolk@slavik.eu.org

I can't find easy to read docs on devfs yet, so rather than fix it
directly, I've simply told gpm to use the real mouse device in this file:
/etc/rc.d/config/basic

add to the mouse line the options:
"-m /dev/MOUSEDEV"
where "MOUSEDEV" is the actual dev for your system.  I have a ps/2 mouse,
so my line looks like: /dev/psaux
I do the same inside the XF86Config file.

there is a entrey for the mouse type in /etc/rc.d/config. i have setup the
supervised script to read MOUSETYPE and MOUSEDEVICE from this file. i think
it is better to intergrate this in gentoo directly. I have send a month ago
the patched script and asked if someone with cvs access can upload it. But
no return-message. Sometimes good ideas die on this way. This is not really
good!!! Gentoo Team.

Glad you like it!

The latest version of Portage fixes this.

I think the best place would be /etc/profile.

This will be fixed in 1.0_rc6; we now provide a /dev-state/compat directory; if
you create a backup symlink there, it'll get copied to /dev at boot-time.  We
may also add a shutdown script that performs automatic symlink backups to a
tarball so they can be restored on boot.  Too bad devfsd doesn't store
symlinks.  I bet it could with a patch.
