Hi All, |
2 |
|
3 |
Just wanted to let you know that we now have Bugzilla set up for bug reports. |
4 |
You can find the gentoo.org Bugzilla at bugs.gentoo.org, and bugs.gentoo.org |
5 |
can also be used to submit ebuilds. Simply select a "Gentoo Linux" product and |
6 |
an "Ebuilds" component and attach your ebuild. |
7 |
|
8 |
Also, we now have anonymous cvs access working! We don't yet support anonymous |
9 |
cvs direct from the install CD (we will soon), but existing Gentoo Linux users |
10 |
can easily switch over by typing the following commands as root: |
11 |
|
12 |
# emerge dev-util/cvs |
13 |
(if you haven't already) |
14 |
# cd /usr |
15 |
# export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@g.o:/home/anoncvs |
16 |
# cvs login |
17 |
(password is empty) |
18 |
# cvs co gentoo-x86 |
19 |
(you'll now have a gentoo-x86 directory in /usr) |
20 |
# mv portage portage.old |
21 |
(backing up old rsync portage dir) |
22 |
# mv portage.old/distfiles gentoo-x86 |
23 |
(keeping all previously-downloaded sources) |
24 |
# ln -s gentoo-x86 portage |
25 |
(we now have an anoncvs /usr/portage!) |
26 |
|
27 |
To update your sources, do this: |
28 |
# cd /usr/portage |
29 |
# cvs -q update -dP |
30 |
|
31 |
Anoncvs is updated at the same interval as rsync -- every :20 and :50 of the |
32 |
hour. cvs.gentoo.org's time is synchronized via NTP, and the update itself |
33 |
normally takes a minute or so. |
34 |
|
35 |
I'll be updating the Web site soon to reflect these changes. |
36 |
|
37 |
Best Regards, |
38 |
