Hello... The following is a list of complains/observations/nitpicks and
questions I have compiled after spending a couple of hours with rc5.
Please feel free to correct me and point me to the friendly manual if I
misunderstand something :)
1. If you are in one runlevel (such as 3) and telinit into another
runlevel
(such as 4) the network devices are always restarted. If this happens
(why
is another matter) you need to kill dhcpcd or else your dhcp using
interfaces will be down'd and won't be up'd again
2. Galeon premade package segfaults with Mozilla premade package
3. How do you set a locale? none is set by default.
4. The XMMS portage doesn't install xmms.xpm.
5. The gnome menus are empty (though I don't have much installed).
Mandrake
and other distributions have a menu generation system, does emerge, etc
have
such a feature that is being used by gnome and kde related packages?
6. Gtkhtml and evolution portage problems:
checking for Editor.idl in /opt/gnome/share/gtkhtml or
/opt/gnome/share/gtkhtml... not found
configure: error: Editor.idl is required to compile Evolution; it's
included
in GtkHTML.
You need GtkHTML built with html-editor-control
!!! ERROR: the ./configure command did not complete successfully.
!!! ("./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--enable-file-locking=no --enable-ldap=no")
!!! Since this is a critical task, ebuild will be stopped.
!!! emerge aborting on
/usr/portage/gnome-apps/evolution/evolution-0.10.ebuild .
7. The output of df on my box:
[root@kodiak evolution]$ df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 6297280 875276 5422004 14% /
/dev 6297280 875276 5422004 14% /dev-state
/dev/hda4 23317628 6505336 16812292 28% /home
Erm... any way of hiding /dev-state?
8. The devfs/swap issue mentioned before
9. Where is lsof? It should be installed as part of the core :)
10. Is there a utility that lets you search for which package would
contain
a certain file?
11. I've seen mandrake and redhat add symlinks from /etc/init.d to
/etc/rc.d/init.d... isn't this required by the filesystem standard or LSB?
12. gdm was defaulting sessions to windowmaker which wasn't installed
13. gnome-terminal spits out a message about "locale not supported by C
library", then I see the window for a brief second, and then it dies
14. When doing "emerge rsync clean" it complains that clean doesn't exist
or
is an invalid command-line option (emerge help lists it as an option)
15. The gnome 1.4 virtual package didn't seem to install nautilus
16. If you install a virtual package such as gnome 1.4, why aren't all the
packages built as dependencies given their own entrys in the package
database? (or am I mistaken?)
17. With xinetd merged in, there were two entries in /etc/init.d for it,
xinetd and svc-xinetd... what is the point/difference?
18. Would it be possible to get a ebuild for xemacs-gnome-gtk? :)
