[gentoo-user] Kgamma 4.6.3 fails prepare phase

[gentoo-user] Kgamma 4.6.3 fails prepare phase

[Dale]

Hi,

It seems KDE 4.6.3 has hit the tree.  Ran into a little problem tho.  
Here is the problem:

yeah, skipfirst did not work on all on this kde update *mad* had to edit 
kgamma ebuild, to recreate the manifest for all kdeedu packages and to set the 
-bittorrent flag for kget....

So the manifest is bad?  It looks like a missing file or something to 
me.  Then again, what do I know.  Care to elaborate on how you fixed 
this?  Maybe a cat /root/.bash_history would shed some light.

I did try a fresh sync.  Still no worky.

no, for kdeedu packages the manifest was bad.

I got a find / sed error and had to comment out this:

        if use handbook; then
                KMEXTRA+=" doc/kcontrol/kgamma"
        fi

For the less enlightened.  The file is here:

/usr/portage/kde-base/kgamma/kgamma-4.6.3.ebuild

This part should look like this:

src_unpack() {
#       if use handbook; then
#               KMEXTRA+=" doc/kcontrol/kgamma"
#       fi


Don't forget to redo the manifest:

ebuild /usr/portage/kde-base/kgamma/kgamma-4.6.3.ebuild manifest

Is this a bug?  Should I report it or will they fix it eventually?

Thanks Volker.  That got me going again.

you can report it - but since there is a 100% failure rate I am pretty sure 
the devs already know about it.

If it is not fixed when I sync again tomorrow, I'll report it and sort 
of give them a nudge.

I was able to get it to emerge by adding the following to my 
/etc/portage/package.use:

kde-base/kgamma -handbook

The rest of the KDE-4.6.3 completed without further errors.

Yep, it's a use flag issue...like you said, don't touch the
ebuild...turn off the use flag instead, until it gets fixed.

handbook is unset for me - so it was off. Logically there is no need to turn 
something off again.

I was hoping the weather thing would work again.  Teach me to hope so 
much.  Still no worky.  It only comes up with something called wettercom 
but nothing noaa for USA.  I guess I'll have to stick my head out the 
door for a while longer.

Oh well.

Running stable here, so can't check what the new weather thingy does, but I 
recall that when it borked last time moving from KDE3 to KDE4 I had to open 
the ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and add a BBC code for the 
region of interest.

If you can't find yours let me know and I'll have a look.

Have reported as a bug. Not sure if I should have done?

USE="-handbook" emerge kdegamma fixes the issue though.

All other packages have emerged fine. 

Love the bouncy ball widget, especially when you can stop it!!

Apparently, though unproven, at 00:14 on Monday 09 May 2011, john did opine 
thusly:

:-)

"Molar" as in the adjective describing "mole" as in "quantity of matter" as in 
"some gigantic number of identical atoms (or maybe it's molecules)". It's a 
very useful measure of "some quantity of stuff".

IIRC the gigantic number is Avogadro's number, on the order of 10^124. So one 
mole of hydrogen would be the amount of hydrogen containing that number of 
hydrogen atoms (or maybe it's molecules. Whatever.)

Weather widgets running fine here:-
Namely LCD Weather Station and Weather Station . I have only have ever
run kde 4-6.2 and 4.6-3 so perhaps there is a problem upgrading from
previous versions.

Great widgets. Not sure what a Molar Mass Calculator does? Perhaps
weighs your teeth??

Do you use noaa stations or something else?  I can't get noaa stations 
to show up.  It worked with 4.6.1 tho.

Here's a quotation from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_%28unit%29:

"The mole is defined as the amount of substance that contains as many elementary 
entities (e.g., atoms, molecules, ions, electrons) as there are atoms in 12 g of 
the isotope carbon-12 (12C).[1] Thus, by definition, one mole of pure 12C has a 
mass of exactly 12 g." (I don't know how those super- and subscript numbers will 
appear in e-mail.)

It's near midnight on a Sunday and I'm knackered after a weekend of being 
father to 2 nine-year old girls - I hadn't even begun thinking it that far 
through :-)

I just knew I was being uber-lazy and expected someone else to do the heavy 
lifting of looking up the reference.

You just knew I was I was being a lazy old fart, didn't you?

6.022 x 10^23

The number of atoms (or molecules) needed so that the weight in grams is
the atomic (or molecular) weight.

Helium has atomic weight of ~4, so 6.022*10^23 atoms of helium weight
about 4 grams.

If it worked before it ought to work now too.  Compare the contents of your 
previous ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsr with what you have now 
and adjust the lines that point to the NOAA RSS feed accordingly.

If it still doesn't work, then you've discovered a bug.

I don't have the previous one tho.  At least I don't think I do.  I have 
a backup but I think I have updated it already.  I'll check just in case 
tho.

The thing is, when I type in my location and click search, it returns my 
location but the service is wettercom not noaa.  Apparently wettercom 
doesn't actually have info for my location.  It just thinks it does.

I did a google search and it is a known problem.  I found others talking 
about it.  So, it's not just me.
