[gentoo-dev] A couple of interesting things

[wackman]

Well, I've been having a ball with ebuild. I think I'm close to having 
Gnome-1.4 on my system. Tonight, I just found out about emerge, so I'm 
using that for my gnome-core.

One of the dependencies it tried to update was rpm-3.0.6-r1, but it 
couldn't find a digest. I went into sys-arch/rpm and couldn't find 
3.0.6-r1, but did find a regular 3.0.6. I ebuilt and merged it. When I 
wen't back to gnome-core, was able to emerge where I left off (it 
skipped rpm since I had just satisfied it).

I thought you guys should know about this inconsistancy. It's strange 
that gnome-core (or one of its dependencies) wants rpm-3.0.6-r1, but the 
latest rpm in the portage tree is 3.0.6. Does something need to be 
recompiled?

I also have a stupid question. I've been wanting to respond to your 
answers to my post, but can't find a way to reply via the web listing. I 
can sort messages, but can't reply. This is why my responses have been 
new posts. Is there a better way? I found I needed to re-enable the 
messages to be emailed to me.

Again, Daniel, you were right. Creating my own digest did the trick. I 
really haven't played with any of the tools enough to figure out little 
nuances like that yet.

One more thing, I noticed that when emerge/ebuild is compiling stuff, 
it's using march=486. I'm using a PIII and want the most optimized 
binaries I can get. I changed /etc/make.defaults CFLAGS to m686, but 
that hasn't seemed to help yet. Although, I am still using the same 
xterm session from before. That might be it. Did I make the right change?

Thanks

Dominic

? if I look in cvs-web I see 3.0.6-r1, but the digest was missing. I
commited it.

Since 1.5_pre the location for configurations has changed,
/etc/make.defaults is no longer used.
add 

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-O2 -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro" (same for CXXFLAGS)

to /etc/make.conf

Make.defaults is left over from portage 1.4.  1.5 uses /etc/make.conf,
then /etc/make.profile/make.defaults, and /etc/make.globals.  You should
put all your personal settings in /etc/make.conf.
