~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gentoo Weekly Newsletter http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/current.xml This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 30 October 2006. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 1. Gentoo news =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D XMMS being removed ------------------ As many of you are probably aware, XMMS is being removed from the tree ne= xt month. XMMS has many bugs and requires heavy patching, upstream developme= nt and bug-fixes have ceased in favor of the forthcoming XMMS2 and XMMS has = no Gentoo maintainer. Audacious is compatible with existing themes and the various Audacious developers have been working with the Gentoo community = to ease the transition. More information about this change can be found at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/sound/xmms.xml. #gentoo-uk under new management ------------------------------- With the recent retirement of Gentoo developer Tim Yamin (plasmaroo), the the #gentoo=E2=80=91uk IRC channel is now managed by Roy Bamford[1]. The = #gentoo-uk IRC channel is an English speaking IRC channel mainly for discussion of Gentoo, Linux and other computer related topics. As it is a small channel= , the topic rules are relaxed depending on the current business of the channel. However, #gentoo-uk has grown by 25% or so over the last year an= d as a result, #gentoo-chat has been created as an 'overflow' to allow otherwise off-topic conversations to be started or continued when on-topi= c chatter picks up in #gentoo-uk. This appears to be working well so far, w= ith most users nudging one another to move to #gentoo-chat to allow on-topic conversations to have priority in the main channel. 1. [email protected] There are no residency requirements for dropping in or being a regular - = the channel already has several continental contributors. As #gentoo-uk is mu= ch quieter than the main #gentoo English language support channel, new IRC users may find it a better place to get started than #gentoo - getting to know their IRC clients and make their mistakes within a small friendly group. It also works well for trying to resolve those protracted issues a= s there is less distracting material being posted. Please drop in and say hello, stay a while, or even add us to your auto-j= oin list! CJK team looking for help ------------------------- The Gentoo CJK team is understaffed, most of the packages in the tree are old and not actively maintained (on the Gentoo side). As support for CJK languages is something Gentoo would rather not lose, Diego Petten=C3=B2 (Flameeyes) asks that people interested in maintaining some of the packag= es contact the CJK team, so that eventual proxy maintainers can be appointed (and eventually lead to the mentoring of the most interested). Please contact the CJK team[2] if you're interested in maintaining a pack= age already in portage or if you want to add a new package that might replace one already there. 2. [email protected] Scheme team looking for help ---------------------------- The Gentoo Scheme herd maintainers are seriously understaffed at this tim= e. Interested parties will either need to currently be a Gentoo developer, o= r be willing to become a developer to begin maintaining these packages. If you have an interest in Scheme and the Gentoo project, you are encoura= ged to contact [email protected] and start working towards becoming a developer today. Turkish translation team needs your help ---------------------------------------- The newly-revived GWN Turkish translation team is looking for help translating the GWN each week. Interested parties need good written Engli= sh and Turkish skills and the availability to work on a weekly schedule. If you're interested in helping with the team, please contact the GWN at [email protected] for more information. There is also a Turkish IRC channel, #gentoo-tr, which could use soem more Turkish-speaking visitors = and would be a great place to collaborate on the translations. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 2. Heard in the community =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D gentoo-user ----------- date in emerge logs Jorge Almeida wanted to know if the cryptic numbers (e.g., "1161911504") = at the beginning of each line in his emerge log were dates, and if so, how t= o render them human readable. Harm Geerts confirmed that the figure was Uni= x time ("the number of seconds elapsed since midnight UTC on the morning of January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds") and suggested translating it using Python. +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---+ | Code Listing 2.1 = | | Converting from UNIX time with python = | +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---+ | $ python -c "import time; print time.ctime(1161911504)" = | +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---+ Bo =C3=98rsted Andresen suggested using awk, instead. +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----+ | Code Listing 2.2 = | | Converting from UNIX time with awk #1 = | +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----+ | $ tail /var/log/emerge.log | awk -F: '{print strftime("%D %X %Z", $1),$= 2}' | +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----+ Peter Ruskin amended this to be shorter and less internationally ambiguou= s in its output. +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---+ | Code Listing 2.3 = | | Converting from UNIX time with awk #2 = | +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---+ | $ tail /var/log/emerge.log | awk -F: '{print strftime("%c", $1),$2}' = | +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---+ The last (and to Jorge most suitable) solution was Richard Fish's. +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---+ | Code Listing 2.4 = | | Converting from UNIX time using date = | +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---+ | $ date -d @1161911504 = | +------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---+ There were also suggestions for more portage-specific solutions: Neil Bothwick suggested emerging app-portage/genlop, an emerge log parsing application. Harm Geerts suggested qlop, which is part of the app-portage/portage-utils package. * http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/msg_102804.xml resolv.conf question/Editing /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to pass options to dhcp= cd Two different users were having similar problems with dhcpcd and resolv.conf. When he booted, Matthew Lee's resolv.conf file was being overwritten by a version with no DNS nameservers in it. Michael Sullivan wanted dhcpcd not to overwrite his resolv.conf. Richard Fish suggested that Michael read /etc/conf.d/net.example. He poin= ted out that if Michael really wanted full control of his dhcp options, he co= uld use something like dhcpcd_INTERFACE=3D"DHCP PARAMETERS". However, an easi= er way to accomplish the goal would be generic dhcp parameters in the form dhcp_INTERFACE=3D"nodns". Novensiles divi Flamen had the same suggestion for Matthew, while Vikas Kumar suggested dns_servers_INTERFACE=3D( "DNS SERVER 1 IP" "DNS SERVER 2= IP" ). * http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/msg_102822.xml * http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/msg_102834.xml gentoo-catalyst --------------- Finally getting around to building live CDs with Catalyst Ed Borasky is using catalyst to build a Gentoo-based live CD for advanced applied mathematics (see http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/Rameau/Rameau.pdf?root=3Dcougar&v= iew=3Dco ). During the course of building, he had to unmask the hard-mask= ed sys-apps/gli, the Gentoo Linux Installer. He wanted to know if that was correct and also how to create a live CD without installer. To the first question, Andrew Gaffney suggested use of portage_overlay in the spec file or unmasking gli in Ed's snapshot. To create a non-installe= r live CD, gli should be removed entirely from the spec file. Ed also wanted to know how to install some testing packages and whether there was an overlay for make.conf. Chris Gianelloni said that there wasn= 't by design (since catalyst's purpose is creating releases, for which unsta= ble software cannot be used). However, Ed could mark whatever packages he wan= ted stable in his snapshot. Ed responded that since he needed only a few unstable packages, this woul= d work for him. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 3.

This is to ensure that they get proper exposure, as this affects many people and is a hotly-debated item.
