If you use Gxmame for a front-end, you should really do a CVS pull and grab the latest. The version in portage is broken with xmame 0.102.

Not at all. Portage x86 versions of xmame (0.102) and gxmame (gxmame-0.35_beta2) are fine together, and they have no problems at all with my rom collection ...

Ho avuto il tuo stesso problema, però aggiornando dalla 1.0.x alla 1.1.x. Non ho mai capito quale fosse esattamente la causa, visto che andò a posto da solo durante delle prove su /etc/fonts/local.conf .

Done. I've emailed one of the devs about moving in kde-misc.

This one has been puzzling me today: I had wxGTK 2.4 already installed, and went to install 2.6 too. Once emerged, I discovered that I couldn't compile applications that required the very same wxGTK 2.6 that I had just installed (one of these was the Catapult frontend from http://openmsx.sourceforge ...

Works great for me, both the ebuild and k9copy. As a sidenote, this *does* really need to be added to portage, since k9copy is the only app that can perform a decent backup dvd9->dvd5, even if it's years behind dvd shrink for windows.

hoschi, I really don't get your point, if any, so I'll try to make mine clear. When a project starts and a platform (language/architecture/whatever) for it has to be chosen, priority should to go to the platform who helps developers get the job done well and quickly, not to the one that minimizes ...

Probably not, but the fun is in trying.

I'm with you about this one, but it all comes down to one's definition of "fun". I don't think I would have much fun rewriting the whole Portage core in C, having to fight against infancy bugs and maybe see halfway that the real problem was in old portage's ...

In this topic I read a lot of personal opinions that are senselessly promoted as absolute truths.

Before *even* thinking about reimplementing Portage, what about sitting for a moment and locate the actual problem(s)? Rewriting a software from scratch just because we hope this time it will come out ...

What's this dependency phobia you are suffering of, I don't think it's rational at all. I can't understand either why adding Python to a base system would made it "fat and slow".

Apart from these things, I think we have some dangerous effort duplication here. sportage and portage-c might be among ...

Uhm, it's been a lot of time after my last post on this topic... I got involved in a lot of things and I had no much time to spend on my rom collection :) Got back to it today.

As promised I took a look to mamory and advancescan and tried to merge a romset update with my collection... After some ...

Beh, mi sembra che a inizio post cerchi di calmare gli animi ma ti rifai a fine post.
Affatto: non mi sento tenuto a "calmare" degli animi che di certo non ero intenzionato ad infiammare, e quindi non vedo su cosa avrei avuto da rifarmi a fine post. Anzi, mi pare che tu sia l'unico ad averla presa ...

Grazie per la bella frecciatina
Amico mio, io non volevo di certo farti alcuna frecciatina. Non mi è neanche passato per la testa di dipingerti nel punto 5, tra parentesi neanche ti conosco quindi figurati se vado sul personale con te. Tu dici [Flame on]? ...io dico [Bromuro on]! ;)

Il formato ...

Premetto che sono sempre stato un convinto sostenitore del formato mini-itx e di VIA... Questa volta però ho qualche dubbio sull'effettiva utilità della scheda... O per meglio dire, non vedo molte applicazioni possibili.

1) Workstation grafica - ha una scheda del ca**o e non ha slot AGP per ...

Ti faccio qualche critica, naturalmente costruttiva e nel pieno rispetto del tuo progetto. Mi riprometto di provare la tua utility nella pratica al più presto, non appena la rendi disponibile.

A chi serve un'applicazione come depkg? A chi non è smaliziato col terminale no di certo, perché questi ...

thoggen non ha nulla a che vedere con DVDShrink; quest'ultimo converte DVD9->DVD5, thoggen converte DVD->Ogg/Theora, quindi è del tutto analogo ai convertitori DVD->DivX.

Qualcosa sotto Linux che fa DVD9->DVD5 è lxdvdrip, per il quale però nessuno ha ancora scritto una GUI. La comodità dei software ...

Secondo me la compilazione incide poco o nulla. A parte le alzate di testa di Portage, tipo quando buttano dentro una nuova release di Gnome o KDE, al massimo compili quei 2-3 pacchetti al giorno, che di certo non stressano la meccanica del disco più di molte altre attività che svolgi ogni giorno ...

Non sapevo che i p4 avessero un sistema per autoregolarsi il clock in funzione della temperatura, e comunque per passare 8 minuti a fare un halt doveva essere sceso sotto il MHz di frequenza... :)

Alcune schede madri come la mia dual athlon staccano direttamente la corrente alle CPU quando una ...

All the above makes perfect sense. Just one question, though: I currently have development-sources 2.6.9 and 2.6.11.4 installed, how do I unmerge these packages?

I just clicked on the edit button relative to the first post and changed the subject. Maybe you were trying to modify the subject of a topic started by someone else instead: in that case I think you have to notify a mod that a topic is solved, and he will do that for you.

please, emerge opensp 1.5.1, it uses --enable-http that 1.5-r1 (Stable) don't use, or add --enable-http to 1.5-r1 ebuild.

You're the man! That was the ticket, I had already noticed the --enable-http option but only in openjade's ebuild, and it didn't come to my mind that opensp could have such an ...

I guess that the last one was a bit of sarcasm from you :wink: I didn't want to sound offensive so forgive me if it seemed so.

Of course my documents might be correctly parsed with the URL removed, there's no reason why they shouldn't. My point is: why should I modify the same files that work ...

Hi tigrezno, yes my friend I can read. A more appropriate question is...

Note that I can flawlessy parse the same files with docbook2pdf on many other random distro

...can you?

Those xml files are parsed correctly using all the distros I tried, so I think the problem is somewhere in Gentoo's ...

I would like to add to my personal wishlist a working integration of docbook2* utils... The interested people can find an extensive description of the problem here:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=187340

Update: everything has been solved, the world is good

I just couldnt get a decent pdf

As far as I tried, you can't get any pdf, be it decent or not, with the docbook2* utils shipped with Gentoo. And we're talking about the very same utils that work flawlessly in other distros.

I just don't get it, and I'm surprised that very few people have shown ...

AerisG222, thanks for the tip... I will experiment with it in the following days when I'm back to work.

Anyway the issue remains: docbook2* utils do not work in Gentoo, neither for XML nor for SGML. I'm hoping that some developers read this...
