Wcc,
Thanks for the reminder- how easy it is to forget such a basic thing, and old age is no excuse! I should think a little bit before I post a question. I guess I'll make it a practice to put all such scripts in /usr/local/bin, as you suggest.

when I change view to "Upgradable Packages" I got

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/porthole/mainwindow.py", line 511, in view_filter_changed
self.load_upgrades_list()
File "/usr/lib/porthole/mainwindow.py", line 525, in load_upgrades_list
self.wait_dialog_response, "_Cancel", True)
File "/usr/lib/porthole/utils.py", line 160, in __init__
self.progbar = gtk.ProgressBar()
SystemError: NULL result without error in PyObject_Call

then I click Cancel

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/porthole/mainwindow.py", line 537, in wait_dialog_response
self.ut.please_die()
AttributeError: MainWindow instance has no attribute 'ut'

pyxml pygtk also remerge

this isn't a support thread, please look in Portage+Programming or OTG for the Porthole thread.

Distasteful self-advertisement, but you might consider adding pye to the list. Thank you.

Worth noting: The appear URL is incorrect.

It's http://l.armory.com/~cerise/appear-latest.tbz2

I use that as a symlink to make life a touch easier for folks who aren't in the loop necessarily.

It's undergoing a few changes in file structure which I will probably commit in a few days.

I don't know if I have to create an eBuild for it, but I'd very much like to see CenterICQ being implemented into the Portage tree.

Centericq is a text mode menu- and window-driven IM interface that supports the ICQ2000, Yahoo!, AIM, IRC, MSN, Gadu-Gadu and Jabber protocols.

Ehm, agilo? To IM your PC to install some software, or something? Not trying to be harsh, but this thread is about discussing portage/emerge tools.

portage-c aims to eventually be a portage replacement in c

it also makes use of sqlite.

this means the difference between insanely slow:

Code: Select all

ayanami root # time emerge -S mozilla > /dev/null

real    15m57.883s
user    9m28.485s
sys     4m40.234s

after a fresh emerge sync with the new portage... yes, it seriously took that long. the second time through, still damn slow:

Code: Select all

ayanami root # time emerge -S mozilla > /dev/null
 
real    1m26.742s
user    0m17.807s
sys     0m2.631s

and insanely fast:

Code: Select all

ayanami root # time portage-c --search mozilla > /dev/null
 
real    0m1.719s
user    0m0.011s
sys     0m0.010s

though the portage-c output isnt formatted very well -

Code: Select all

ayanami root # portage-c --search libstdc++-v3
>>>Search<<<
>>>Search->libstdc++-v3
sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3.3-r1 Size:23279245
                Compatibility package for running binaries linked against a pre gcc 3.4 libstdc++
                http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/
 
<<<Search>>>

it's currently not usable as a full portage replacement (cant simply emerge stuff yet), but siti is certainly working on it

Wow.. I.. ehm..
I.. I'm sorry.

Last time I checked if CenterICQ was in portage was a long time ago, I guess.
I didn't know it was since added.

Sorry again.

http://dev.gentoo.org/~gmsoft/tools/imlate

imlate seeks to make arch maintainance easier by comparing the current stable version of an ebuild for one arch with another. x86 is the default comparison.

some example imlate output:

Code: Select all

ayanami root # ./imlate amd64
Package Name                            amd64               x86
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
app-accessibility/gok                   0.10.0              0.10.2
app-accessibility/gnome-mag             0.10.10             0.10.11
app-arch/arj                            3.10.18             3.10g
app-arch/dump                           0.4.34              0.4.36

Does GAUS (as one package) still exist?

old links (that do not work anymore):

http://michael.justfor-e.net/GAUS/0.1.2-gaus.tar.gz

http://freshmeat.net/projects/gaus/

after doing some google work, it seems to be disapeared...

You forgot revdep-rebuild!

revdep-rebuild is basically a neccessity if you're using ~arch

HEhehe.. it might actually be included in portage... :S

It's in gentoolkit.

Here's one I'm using for a few months and that I find useful... kinda.

gsc stand for Gentoo Servies Control and it's a simple dialog wrapper to start/stop/restart/reload/zap candidate scripts in the /etc/init.d folder.

The script is here and I have put a preview on my webserver.

I have installed it in /sbin, so cd ther and cut&paste the following to get it installed and ready for usages:

Code: Select all

cd /sbin
wget http://www.tecknojunky.com/gentoo/gsc
chmod 700 gsc

Of course, you need bash and dialog installed.

Hope at least one other person find it useful. Improvments/suggestions are welcome (pm me).

NB: While previewing the post and testing the links, I noticed there are a lot of commented code in there. I kind of forgot what I was up to. I think it was an attempt to pla around with runlevels.

Hi!

As I didn't got any reply from my PM, I just add glcu here (and would be happy if you could add it to the list):

For everybody who wants some kind of automated update, this script may be everything you need:

glcu - gentoo linux cron update

eMenu provides common emerge commands, and, more usefully, captures messages outputed by portage so you can view them later.

The link to repoman-local returns a 404 not found page.
Is there a good link to this or does it no longer exist?

Genone · Post by **Genone** » Sun Aug 15, 2004 4:50 am

It got merged into repoman a long time ago.

Thanks, I didn't realize that.

Code: Select all

truffle root # portlog-info 
PORT_LOGDIR not found.
truffle root # grep PORT_LOGDIR /etc/make.conf
PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage"

WTF! I downloaded it today, and put it in /usr/local/bin. Is this script b0rk3n or have I done someting stupid?

I want to set this up so logrotate mails me the important emerge info before it deletes my portage logs. At present emerge is creating log files OK....

k1w1_skarf1 · Post by **k1w1_skarf1** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 9:07 am

OK, I found the problem. I fixed it by changing this:

Code: Select all

PORT_LOGDIR="`sed -n 's:^PORT_LOGDIR=::p' /etc/make.conf`"

to this:

Code: Select all

PORT_LOGDIR_HOLDER="`sed -n 's:^PORT_LOGDIR=::p' /etc/make.conf`"
PORT_LOGDIR="`echo $PORT_LOGDIR_HOLDER | sed -n 's:"::p' | sed -n 's:"::p'`"

I don't know if most people have

Code: Select all

PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage"

in /etc/make.conf, or

Code: Select all

PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage

but I thought the proper way was to put the "quotes" around it.

The sed script was not removing the quotes. Unfortunately, I don't think my altered script will work for people without the quotes.

We could do it like this (of the top of my head)....

Code: Select all

PORT_LOGDIR_HOLDER="`sed -n 's:^PORT_LOGDIR=::p' /etc/make.conf`"
if echo $PORT_LOGDIR_HOLDER | grep -q '"'
     then PORT_LOGDIR="`echo $PORT_LOGDIR_HOLDER | sed -n 's:"::p' | sed -n 's:"::p'
     else PORT_LOGDIR="`echo $PORT_LOGDIR_HOLDER`"
fi

This is my first time using sed, maybe someone else has a tidier way....
