Portage tarballs available for OpenBSD and FreeBSD
--------------------------------------------------
  
Grant Goodyear[1] has put together tarballs that can be used to install 
Portage on OpenBSD and FreeBSD. While there's still a long way before 
you'll be able to install a Gentoo/BSD system from stage-1, as Grant said 
in his announcement[2] to gentoo-dev, this is the first step on the road 
to generating one, and we encourage users to test these tarballs, as well 
as to experiment with constructing a true Gentoo *BSD stage-1 tarball. For 
more information, read the above announcement, or check out Grant's 
page[3] on Gentoo + *BSD.

Second Gentoo BugDay to be held on September 6
----------------------------------------------
  
Since last month's Gentoo BugDay was such a success, we're going to have 
another one next Saturday, on September 6, and on the first Saturday of 
each month from now on. Come on down to the #gentoo-bugs channel on 
irc.freenode.net, and help us squash bugs and maintain the high quality 
of our distribution - it's also a great opportunity for devs and users 
to get to know each other. 
    
Gentoo Documentation team looking for new French lead translator
----------------------------------------------------------------
  
The Gentoo Documentation team is looking for a new French lead translator. 
Responsibilities would include coordinating the translations, verifying 
the translated version, and committing it to CVS so it can be viewed on 
the website. A solid reading knowledge of both written French and written 
English is a requirement; familiarity with XML and CVS would be helpful 
but can be acquired after taking the position if necessary. Interested 
parties should send an email to Sergey Kuleshov[4].

GLSA: vmware-workstation
------------------------
  
Quote from advisory: 
 
"By manipulating the VMware GSX Server and VMware Workstation environment 
variables, a program such as a shell session with root privileges could be 
started when a virtual machine is launched. The user would then have full 
access to the host."
 
 * Severity: High - local full host access. 
 * Packages Affected: <vmware-workstation-4.0.1-5289 
<vmware-workstation-3.2.1-2242 
 * Rectification: emerge sync; emerge vmware-workstation-(insert the 
version you want here); emerge clean 
 * GLSA Announcement[5]

4. Featured Developer of the Week
=================================
  
Lars Weiler

We are pleased to present Lars Weiler[9] (pylon) as this week's featured 
developer. Lars works on Gentoo's PPC development team as well as taking 
lead responsibilities for German Translation on the International Document 
Subproject of the Gentoo Documentation Project[10]. He is also involved 
with the Infrastructure Team[11] in dealing with CVS and viewcvs issues 
and configuration. Gentoo is his first major OSS project, which he has 
compensated for with involvement in so many disparate aspects of the work.

Lars first heard of Gentoo in mid-2002 and first installed it on his iBook 
in November of that year, needing a few months to get everything working 
the way he wanted. He became a developer on the PPC project in March of 
2003 and completed the migration of his x86 box to Gentoo in May. He 
enjoys working within the Gentoo community, and frequently travels around 
Europe to meet other developers. As a PPC user, he appreciates the ebuild 
system, as it makes it easy for him to fine-tune applications to suit his 
needs - the "compile everything you need" functionality serves him well.
 
In addition to his Gentoo work, Lars is an active member of the Chaos 
Computer Club[12], a German "white-hat" hacker group. He provides some of 
the organization activities and much of the press relations for the 
organization. He has been a student at the German University of Applied 
Sciences in Krefeld as well as attending courses at the Fontys Hoogeschool 
in Venlo, the Netherlands. His coursework has focused on a diploma in the 
somewhat esoteric field of Mechatronics (a mixture of Mechanics, 
Electronics and Informatics).

Lars has two Gentoo boxen: a 600 MHz Apple iBook that is his primary 
development and testing platform (not to mention providing a DVD movie 
player for train rides), as well as a 5 year old PIII-700 that provides 
backup services as well as some multi-media features. Lars multimedia 
requirements are further serviced by a Fuji FinePix7400 digital camera 
that is always to hand. He prefers the more streamlined fluxbox desktop 
environment to KDE or Gnome. He generally uses a highly-customized mutt 
client for mail, LaTeX for word-processing. In addition, he frequently 
uses gnome-terminal, irssi, gkrellm, xpad, psi and MozillaFirebird.
 
Lars speaks four languages: German, English, French and Dutch. Buffer 
overflow has apparently caused him to lose much of his Latin. He lives in 
the German state of Northrhine-Westfalia, in the city of Krefeld on the 
banks of the Rhine. He frequently travels to the nearby cities of 
Dusseldorf and Cologne. Lars reminded us of the motto of the 18th Chaos 
Communication Congress: "Hacking is not a crime."

Kitchen Metaphore
 
Non-Gentooists mock the seemingly complicated, indisputably lengthy 
procedure of downloading tarballs of source code, compiling them with the 
help of an ebuild, only to end up with a binary application like everybody 
else. So how does one explain the Gentoo way to the uninitiated? 
Difficult? Enter TGL[13], who has got it all in a remarkably simple 
one-liner. It probably takes a French to come up with the beautiful 
analogy to cooking: Tarballs are the ingredients, ebuilds are the recipe, 
and you get to be your own chef around the kitchen. Haute cuisine, so much 
tastier than pre-cooked RPMs...

The Mobile Gentooist Buyer's Guide
 
Wondering about the right laptop configuration? Want to get that WiFi 
thing to work? The Forum users are discussing all kinds of things, 
including which hardware to get, and how to tweak things so they work 
well. This is a frequently recurring issue, check some of the more recent 
threads about portable computers and wireless cards for penultimate Gentoo

Testing GCC with Python 
 
User Adam Dunstan was curious[18] whether using -march=pentium4 on his GCC 
3.2.3 Gentoo box was safe yet. List member Gabor replied with a cool 
Python trick that allows a user to quickly tell if his GCC compiler was 
affected by the -pentium4 bug.

Backing Up Gentoo 
 
Backups are often ignored until it's too late. List member Pupeno asked 
for some suggestions[19] on backing up his entire Gentoo installation to a 
separate hard disk. Read on for some tips, as well as some 
user-contributed backup scripts.

Gentoo Calender.
 
With such a huge project, and so many different aspects, it can often 
become difficult to organise things. One thing suggested this week to help 
ease the trouble was the implementation of a  Gentoo Calender [20] Where 
important dates could be recorded and remembered.

Desktops desktops and more desktops
 
One of those parts that most of us would never live without in our Gentoo 
system is our  desktop. [21] This thread raises the interesting discussion 
of what elements of our system are actually part of the desktop, and how 
much interaction and control the Gentoo base should have over it.

Europe: Protest Against Software Patents
 
KDE closed its website, Apache.org was down, GNOME out of business? What 
happened? Well: The question should be "What will happen?" On Monday, 1 
September, the European Parliament (EP) in Brussels will vote on proposed 
legislation to install software patents (pretty much following the example 
of the US, setting out to override existing patentability laws in force 
around Europe). Activists around Europe and their friends across the 
planet decided to do something about it. In a display of what could happen 
if some of the patents on copying and pasting, hyperlinks and whatnot were 
actually enforced, some major websites, mostly those of Open Source 
software developers, closed shop for a day or more, hoping that their 
protest will have an impact on the outcome of Monday's decisive meeting of 
the EP plenary. Many Gentooists have actively supported last week's 
happenings around Europe, the Gentoo website sported a brief editorial 
note encouraging "our European friends to make up their minds". For 
further information on the background of the debate, last week's events 
and the outcome of the vote, check the FFII website[22], the pivotal 
information hub of the anti-patent movement.

utility) and euse (a command line utility). Between these two programs the 
days of opening /etc/make.conf and editing USE manually can be over. 
 
While euse is available in Portage, ufed is a separate package and will 
need to be emerged.

| Getting ufed                                                            |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|                                                                         |
|# emerge app-portage/ufed                                                |
|                                                                         |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Using ufed is very simple. Make sure you're root and simply type ufed. An 
ncurses based interface to all USE flags should start and you can select 
them as you like. After you're done, just select Save and you're done. 
 
While ufed provides a full menu for editing USE flags, euse is handy when 
you need to quickly add or remove a USE flag. To add a USE flag, use euse 
-E flag. To remove a flag, use euse -D flag. To list your USE flags, use 
euse -i.

| Using euse                                                              |

|Example: Adding mozilla as a USE flag                                    |
|# euse -E mozilla                                                        |
|                                                                         |
|Example: Removing mozilla as a USE flag                                  |
|# euse -D mozilla                                                        |
|                                                                         |
