Developers are usually more receptive to bugs with patches included. In this case, I don't think it would be so dificult to come out with a tested patch for one of the ebuilds.

Please stop this nonsense. There IS a patch.
Wow. Telling pilla, who is a forums admin, to "stop this nonsense."

You ...

No, this isn't a GCC bug. It's a gentoo/portage/ebuild type of bug. A GCC bug usually manifests with the compiler segfaulting or coredumping.

Software segfaults when compiled with one version of GCC and works when compiled with other version. Yeah this is definitely an ebuild bug :-D

Developers ...

The ebuild ignores USE flag settings. Therefore the documentation is always built. This bug is still present.

I had another problem, that turned this bug into a blocker. The documentation build always failed with access violation, and therefore, hal could not be installed. This seems to be a GCC ...

Great, so the bug that caused the documentation build to fail was a compiler bug. I have emerged the latest GCC, recompiled libxslt, gtk-doc and gtk-doc-am and the hal finally merged succesfully.

or are upstream files corrupted and it doesn't work even then ?

No it doesn't. There is some odd problem in the documentation build process (common for all packages using gtk-doc). See the bug i have posted.

The workaround I use is to have "doc" set in make.conf, and "-doc" set in
package.use for hal, dbus, and a dbus documentation package whose name
I can't recall. That seems to work ok.

Another approach might be to take the doc flag out of make.conf, build dbus
and hal, and put the flag back.

Will ...

How did you get the documentation generation to work?
None of my machines have USE="doc", so I guess any documentation bugs went unnoticed.

Well i have the doc turned off as well, the problem is that hal ignores this flag and builds documentation anyway. Could you please post the versions of dev ...

I am not an expert on HAL, but all the versions that I have used in the past have compiled and run without major problems.

This is what I am currently running on all my machines (~amd64 ~ppc ~x86)

I already tried to draw atention by opening a duplicate, now i will also try here.

Please fix this bug! It has changed into a blocker! There is no version of hal that actually compiles! No possible workaround! PLEASE!!!

Hi, today I received an error from paludis, when trying to update my system:

* All versions of 'media-video/gqcam' are masked. Candidates are:
* media-video/gqcam-0.9:0::gentoo: Masked by repository (/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: Samuli Suominen <drac@gentoo.org> (27 Apr 2008) Spring clean ...

I didn't forgot to run revdep-rebuild, because I use paludis. Yes reconcilio always finds samba as broken, but it doesn't compile! That's the problem.

The concrete problem actualy is that gnutls doesn't provide the library it should provide.

Or any other way how to use video acceleration? My PC is to slow for 1280x720 videos, but with HW acceleration it shouldn't be a problem (1.6Ghz Sempron + Nvidia 8600GT).

Hi, my samba instalation has broken linkage, but when I try to reinstall it I allways get this:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libgnutls.so.13, needed by /usr/lib64/libcups.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/lib64/libcups ...

Is it possible to somehow use vidix on AMD64? The use flag is masked, so I can't enable it.

I'm trying to run PlayOnLinux (sort of cedega alternative) but it doesn't run on my Gentoo box. Did anybody get it working?

Traceback (most recent call last):

Yes I have tried reinstalling paludis and it didn't help.

But I now have bash 3.1. It didn't help

EDIT:
Please at least tell me what this error means. I need to know what to search for.

Anybody? Please!

Hi all, I have one broken system here. Don't know what actually happened, but it seems to be something around bash, anyway any paludis -i package ends up this way:

I just read it. I don't understand why the first developer didn't post the true info.

If they put it in the official tree, the (gentoo) KDE maintainers have to maintain it. If it's in an inofficial overlay, anyone can maintain it, not only the official developers - that might be the reason why they do not put it into portage now (just to prevent some trouble with a currently ...

OMG, i already posted the topic. A dev clearly says that the KDE 4.0 is not goint to appear in portage.

I think there are a lot of rumors!

Nobody from the Gentoo project confirmed that.
Or am i wrong?

You are wrong.

KDE4 contains all aplications, the only thing about it is that some of them are still the old ones, not using the new cool features, and believe me, most of apps won't be untill KDE 4.2 (for example Kopete or KOffice).

If you want to keep KDE out of portage until KDE 4.2 then you will loose a huge ...
