[gentoo-hardened] Profile hardened/linux/x86 updated

[Anthony G. Basile]

Hi everyone,

I've now updated the x86 profile for hardened:

     hardened/linux/x86

Please test by switching to the new profile and making sure your emerge
-ep system and emerge -ep world do not change.

There is only amd64 yet to go.  If all goes well with x86, I will make
update amd64 around Nov 24, 2010.

As always, let me know if anything breaks.

"making sure your emerge -ep system and emerge -ep world do not change"
What does this mean exactly? Running these commands should say "Total:
0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB"? Because on my install "emerge
-ep system" wants to reinstall 159 and "emerge -ep world" 640
packages.

That was a smooth transition. The claimed packages seems to be the same.

This is expected.  The point is that emerge -ep system wants to rebuild
everything in your system target, and emerge -ep world wants to rebuild
everything in your world target.  I'm not suggesting that you actually
do so, hence the -p (pretend).  What I'm saying is that these lists
should not change BEFORE and AFTER the profile change.  If they do, then
I made some mistake.  I tested on my test systems, but since there are
so many possible combinations of USE flags and packages, I thought I'd
get community feedback too.

What you should have seen for emerge -ep system is something like this


blueness@yellowness ~ $ emerge -ep system

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1
[ebuild   R   ] virtual/libintl-0
[ebuild   R   ] dev-libs/expat-2.0.1-r3
[ebuild   R   ] sys-devel/gnuconfig-20100403
[ebuild   R   ] virtual/libiconv-0
[ebuild   R   ] app-arch/bzip2-1.0.6
[ebuild   R   ] dev-libs/gmp-4.3.2
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/jpeg-8b
[ebuild   R   ] app-misc/pax-utils-0.2.1
...


all just a bunch of R's, not U's, not UD's not NS's etc.

See man emerge for more details.

OK, I understand now, but I think a step-by-step guide should have
been included (run 1, change, run2; compare output of 1&2).

All R-s, so I think everything works.

And no use flags changed :P If I recall correctly that's use* and -use* ;)

As a fast guide:

$ emerge -evp system > /root/system1
$ emerge -evp world > /root/world1
$ eselect profile list
$ eselect profile set x
#x is the number corresponding to hardened ;)
$ emerge -evp system > /root/system2
$ diff /root/system1 /root/system2
#They shouldn't change except on the "Calculating dependencies  ....... done!" line (with a different number of dots)
$ diff /root/world1 /root/world2
#They shouldn't change except on the "Calculating dependencies  ....... done!" line (with a different number of dots)
#Finally to make sure:
$ emerge -va1uDN world
#Shouldn't need to upgrade, downgrade rebuild any package.
#Finally to clean up
$ rm /root/{system,world}{1,2}

Hope that helps ;)

Thanks for the commands, I have one more x86 to switch over, and also
an amd64 coming up.

Updating the profile on the other x86 and on the amd64 succeeded
without any problems.
