Hi devs! |

Here is some thoughts I have about portage/emerge/ebuilds |
4 |
|
5 |
|
6 |
1. |
7 |
manpage don't tell me that -D = --deep (need to read pythonsource or read |
8 |
response from "emerge --help" to figure out ) |
9 |
|
10 |
|
11 |
2. |
12 |
When new things coming up like "fixpackages" and emerge responds that you |
13 |
should change "FEATURES" or run "fixpackages". When this script is outside |
14 |
of normal path, it would be nice if it was some hint where it's located. |
15 |
(/usr/lib/portage/bin/fixpackages) |
16 |
|
17 |
|
18 |
3. |
19 |
When you do a deep pretended update world (emerge -vpuD world) and finds |
20 |
some updates like: [ebuild U ] dev-libs/glib-2.2.1-r1 [2.2.1] -doc |
21 |
Then when you read Changes for this package and get a diff like this of the |
22 |
ebuilds: |

Why should I need to rebuild the whole glib2 to get one line appended to |
57 |
/etc/env.d/50glib2 ? |
58 |
Wouldn't it be nice if portage could handle small file updates instead of |
59 |
rebuilding from scratch! |

62 |
I've seen many "etc-updates" with only "cvs-header-updates"! |
63 |
It would be *nice* if "ebuild-devs" check this before releases... |

BTW it looks like forums.gentoo.org is down! |

PS |
74 |
I'm also think that the homepage should have more news/information collected |
75 |
from the Forum, IRC, Bugzilla and mailing-lists. It could be done by some |
76 |
"junior wannabes" who have time to "hang out" around the clock and trawl all |
77 |
sources mentioned above and do some editorial work (daily). |
78 |
Things like framebuffer- and icon-"toys" should have an own track |
79 |
(for all the newbies who loves that stuff). |
