~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gentoo Weekly Newsletter http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20070122-newsletter.xml This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of 22 January 2007. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =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 Flash Player 9 released ----------------------- Adobe[1] recently released[2] the final version of Flash Player 9 for Lin= ux. Gentoo developers were quick to add it to the tree. Note that this versio= n of Flash does not include a debug version, and it is still hard-masked. Thanks to Jakub Moc[3] and Olivier Crete[4], for taking care of it so fas= t. 1. http://www.adobe.com 2. http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2007/01/flash_player_9_for_linux= _x86.html 3. [email protected] 4. [email protected] Adopt-a-developer project update -------------------------------- The Adopt-a-dev project[5] has been neglected lately. The project would l= ike to remind the users that developers can always make use of hardware or technical books to help bring better support and build a better distribution. Contributions are most welcome! For example, Diego Petten=C3= =B2[6] recently needed a cheap, low-end SoundBlaster card. This is the area wher= e you can help his ALSA development efforts with a small donation. 5. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/userrel/adopt-a-dev 6. [email protected] Chris White[7] received a book on Perl from a user; he's putting it to go= od use maintaining and testing the Perl packages. Thanks! 7. [email protected] Once again, we need both developers and users to request and offer any resources that can be donated. It doesn't have to be a substantial donati= on -- you'd be surprised how often a simple item turns out to be exactly wha= t is needed. KBase project ended ------------------- Due to lack of leadership, time, commitment, technical know-how, skills, = and the resources to implement and maintain a knowledge base, the KBase proje= ct has been ended. Also, there was no traffic on the mailing lists despite several queries, and the threads on the forums indicated lack of interest from the community. This lead to the decision that Gentoo doesn't need a knowledge base at present; the existing documentation provided by the Gen= too Documentation Project is sufficient. Note that the KBase developers are not retiring; they are still active in their respective areas of Gentoo development. Only the project has been retired. There are no plans to revive the project in the future. =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. Developer of the week =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Dimitry Bradt (diox) -------------------- Figure 2.1: Dimitry Bradt, aka diox http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20070115_diox.jpg 20 year old developer Dimitry Bradt, also known as diox, grew up in De Panne, Belgium and now lives in Oostduinkerke, just off the Belgian coast. Dimitry lives with his parents, two younger sisters, and a cat named Feli= x. Dimitry attended college in Kortrijk for several years, studying for a bachelors degree in Multimedia and Communication Technology. After a few years study, he realized that it wasn't what he really wanted to do and l= eft to pursue other interests. After leaving the university, Dimitry followed= in his parents footsteps and became a cook. Though what he does comes pretty naturally, he is considering an Administration job with the government. When Dimitry isn't on his computer, he enjoys watching Anime. His favorit= e Anime show is Bleach. Not so into the pub scene, he says he's the kind of guy that enjoys visiting friends and having cozy chats over a bottle of wine. His favorite type of music is a good drum and bass or a mix of jazz and blues that he learned of from the Anime show Cowboy Bebop. Dimitry li= kes to read and watch movies. His favorite movie is The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain (aka le fabuleux destin d'amelie poulin). As if he isn't b= usy enough with Gentoo and personal interests, Dimitry also found time to sta= rt a non-profit organization that assists the elderly with computer lessons. When diox moved into student housing in 2004, a room mate used Gentoo and quickly got him hooked. He fell in love with Gentoo and started contribut= ing to the Gentoo Documentation Project by translating documents. He was late= r recruited and mentored by Xavier Neys[8]. Currently diox is the Dutch lea= d translator and works with the Events, GWN, and Adopt-a-Dev teams. 8. [email protected] Diox's home computer collection consists of a P4 desktop and three AMD Athlon64 servers. The first apps that diox launches are fluxbox, rxvt, irssi, gajim, audacious, vim, azureus, and gaim. =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 3. 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 planet.gentoo.org ----------------- Introducing Planet Paludis! Alexander F=C3=A6r=C3=B8y[9], a contributor at the Paludis[10] project, w= rote a blog post about their new asset, http://planetpaludis.org. For the people livi= ng under rocks, Paludis is an upcoming alternative to Portage written in C++= , designed to offer improved performance, a more flexible configuration sys= tem and providing many much-asked-for features that were unable to be added t= o Portage. Planet Paludis is updated every 30 minutes to bring its communit= y speedy updates. 9. [email protected] 10. http://www.paludis.org Because most of the Paludis developers are also Gentoo Developers, Danny = Van Dyk[11] will give a talk on it at FOSDEM 2007[12]. He will be explaining = how people can simplify maintaining packages within a basic Gentoo installati= on. 11. [email protected] 12. http://www.fosdem.org * http://alex.stener.nu/index.php/2007/01/18/introducing-planet-paludis gentoo-user ----------- Suggestions for a minimalistic system Vlad Dogaru was trying to create a minimalistic system to run on an older computer with 384MB of RAM. He was considering switching to Ratpoison as = a window manager. Also, he was looking for a replacement for Firefox, but h= is experiments with Conkeror and links had proved unsatisfactory, as the for= mer was too emacs-oriented and the latter lacked tabs. Readers were unfamiliar with Conkeror[13], an offshoot of Firefox with keyboard-only navigation modelled after emacs. Some confused it with KDE'= s Konqueror. Others, while interested in the project, noted that, with or without a minimalistic interface, Conkeror was still Firefox under the ho= od, and as big of a memory hog as Firefox. 13. http://conkeror.mozdev.org/ Readers suggested using Dillo, which is both lightweight and has tabs. Di= llo has the disadvantage (if it is one) of not running Flash and having primitive Javascript capabilities. Others suggested Opera, which, while n= ot free/libre software, was fast and tabbed. Window manager suggestions included evilwm, pekwm, XFCE and, oddly, KDE. = The point was made that use of an integrated environment, be it KDE or Gnome, can be more efficient since the apps share libraries. Issues arise only w= hen one tries to mix and match KDE and Gnome and wind up loading both sets of libraries. * http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/msg_107454.xml =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 4.

Attending devs were: Daniel Ostrow[14], Mark Kowarsky[15], Christian Marie[16] and Daniel Black[17]. Though they didn't have a booth= , they did have a great time. The most fascinating talks were: Keith Packar= d's talk on RandR, Andrew Cowie's and Madely's talk on GTK+ programming and Chris Blizzard's talk on OLPC. 14. [email protected] 15.

Gentoo users, unlike the other distributions, weren't given chairs, but instead got a box full of chair parts and got to build their own! * http://builderau.com.au/blogs/betaliving/viewblogpost.htm?p=3D3392707= 53 =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 5.

The package removals come from many locations, including the Treecleaners[22] and various developers. Most packages whic= h are listed under the Last Rites section are in need of some love and care and can remain in the tree if proper maintainership is established. 22. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/treecleaners Removals: --------- Package: Removal date: Contact: net-p2p/xmule 15 Jan 2007 Christian Faulhammer[23] www-apache/mod_survey 15 Jan 2007 Luca Longinotti[24] app-admin/empower 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] dev-libs/exml 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-gfx/retina 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-video/envision 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-misc/enity 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] app-editors/enscribe 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] dev-util/enhance 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-libs/edje 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] sci-calculators/equate 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-misc/enotes 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] app-laptop/epbb 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] dev-util/e_utils 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-libs/emotion 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] sys-fs/evfs 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-misc/entrance 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] app-misc/entropy 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] mail-client/embrace 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-libs/epeg 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-apps/elapse 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-misc/estickies 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] app-misc/evidence 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-gfx/eclips 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-libs/epsilon 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-libs/ecore 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-misc/iconbar 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] app-misc/examine 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-gfx/elicit 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-libs/esmart 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-plugins/e_modules 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-gfx/entice 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-libs/imlib2_loaders 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-libs/etk 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-terms/enterminus 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] dev-libs/eet 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-gfx/ephoto 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-sound/extrackt 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-libs/evas 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-wm/e 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] dev-libs/embryo 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-gfx/exhibit 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-video/eclair 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-libs/ewl 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] dev-libs/engrave 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-gfx/imlib2_tools 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-video/elation 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] x11-misc/engage 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] net-im/express 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-video/requant 16 Jan 2007 Joerg Bornkessel[26] x11-misc/eosd 16 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] net-dialup/gigaset-isdn 16 Jan 2007 Alin N=C4=83stac[27] media-sound/ipodder 17 Jan 2007 Michael Sterrett[28] media-libs/exscalibar 18 Jan 2007 Diego Petten=C3=B2[6] www-apache/libapreq 20 Jan 2007 Michael Cummings[29] www-apache/libapreq2 20 Jan 2007 Michael Cummings[29] www-apache/Embperl 20 Jan 2007 Michael Cummings[29] sys-cluster/vserver-utils 20 Jan 2007 Christian Heim[30] media-plugins/alsa-jack 20 Jan 2007 Diego Petten=C3=B2[6] net-ftp/ftpd 21 Jan 2007 Mike Frysinger[25] media-sound/xmp 21 Jan 2007 Diego Petten=C3=B2[6] 6.
