11 XMMS being removed
12 ------------------
13
14 As many of you are probably aware, XMMS is being removed from the tree next
15 month. XMMS has many bugs and requires heavy patching, upstream development
16 and bug-fixes have ceased in favor of the forthcoming XMMS2 and XMMS has no
17 Gentoo maintainer. Audacious is compatible with existing themes and the
18 various Audacious developers have been working with the Gentoo community to
19 ease the transition.

24 #gentoo-uk under new management
25 -------------------------------
26
27 With the recent retirement of Gentoo developer Tim Yamin (plasmaroo), the
28 the #gentoo‑uk IRC channel is now managed by Roy Bamford[1]. The #gentoo-uk
29 IRC channel is an English speaking IRC channel mainly for discussion of
30 Gentoo, Linux and other computer related topics. As it is a small channel,
31 the topic rules are relaxed depending on the current business of the
32 channel. However, #gentoo-uk has grown by 25% or so over the last year and
33 as a result, #gentoo-chat has been created as an 'overflow' to allow
34 otherwise off-topic conversations to be started or continued when on-topic
35 chatter picks up in #gentoo-uk. This appears to be working well so far, with
36 most users nudging one another to move to #gentoo-chat to allow on-topic
37 conversations to have priority in the main channel.

40
41 There are no residency requirements for dropping in or being a regular - the
42 channel already has several continental contributors. As #gentoo-uk is much
43 quieter than the main #gentoo English language support channel, new IRC
44 users may find it a better place to get started than #gentoo - getting to
45 know their IRC clients and make their mistakes within a small friendly
46 group. It also works well for trying to resolve those protracted issues as
47 there is less distracting material being posted.

49 Please drop in and say hello, stay a while, or even add us to your auto-join
50 list!

52 CJK team looking for help
53 -------------------------
54
55 The Gentoo CJK team is understaffed, most of the packages in the tree are
56 old and not actively maintained (on the Gentoo side). As support for CJK
57 languages is something Gentoo would rather not lose, Diego Pettenò
58 (Flameeyes) asks that people interested in maintaining some of the packages
59 contact the CJK team, so that eventual proxy maintainers can be appointed
60 (and eventually lead to the mentoring of the most interested).
61
62 Please contact the CJK team[2] if you're interested in maintaining a package
63 already in portage or if you want to add a new package that might replace
64 one already there.
65
66 2. cjk@g.o
67
68 Scheme team looking for help
69 ----------------------------
70
71 The Gentoo Scheme herd maintainers are seriously understaffed at this time.
72 Interested parties will either need to currently be a Gentoo developer, or
73 be willing to become a developer to begin maintaining these packages.
74
75 If you have an interest in Scheme and the Gentoo project, you are encouraged
76 to contact recruiters@g.o and start working towards becoming a
77 developer today.
78
79 Turkish translation team needs your help
80 ----------------------------------------
81
82 The newly-revived GWN Turkish translation team is looking for help
83 translating the GWN each week. Interested parties need good written English
84 and Turkish skills and the availability to work on a weekly schedule. If
85 you're interested in helping with the team, please contact the GWN at
86 gwn-feedback@g.o for more information. There is also a Turkish IRC
87 channel, #gentoo-tr, which could use soem more Turkish-speaking visitors and
88 would be a great place to collaborate on the translations.

97 date in emerge logs
98
99 Jorge Almeida wanted to know if the cryptic numbers (e.g., "1161911504") at
100 the beginning of each line in his emerge log were dates, and if so, how to
101 render them human readable. Harm Geerts confirmed that the figure was Unix
102 time ("the number of seconds elapsed since midnight UTC on the morning of
103 January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds") and suggested translating it
104 using Python.
105
106 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
107 | Code Listing 2.1 |
108 | Converting from UNIX time with python |
109 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
110 | $ python -c "import time; print time.ctime(1161911504)" |
111 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
112
113 Bo Ørsted Andresen suggested using awk, instead.
114
115 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
116 | Code Listing 2.2 |
117 | Converting from UNIX time with awk #1 |
118 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
119 | $ tail /var/log/emerge.log | awk -F: '{print strftime("%D %X %Z", $1),$2}' |
120 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
121
122 Peter Ruskin amended this to be shorter and less internationally ambiguous
123 in its output.
124
125 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
126 | Code Listing 2.3 |
127 | Converting from UNIX time with awk #2 |
128 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
129 | $ tail /var/log/emerge.log | awk -F: '{print strftime("%c", $1),$2}' |
130 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
131
132 The last (and to Jorge most suitable) solution was Richard Fish's.
133
134 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
135 | Code Listing 2.4 |
136 | Converting from UNIX time using date |
137 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
138 | $ date -d @1161911504 |
139 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
140
141 There were also suggestions for more portage-specific solutions: Neil
142 Bothwick suggested emerging app-portage/genlop, an emerge log parsing
143 application. Harm Geerts suggested qlop, which is part of the
144 app-portage/portage-utils package.

147
148 resolv.conf question/Editing /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to pass options to dhcpcd
149
150 Two different users were having similar problems with dhcpcd and
151 resolv.conf. When he booted, Matthew Lee's resolv.conf file was being
152 overwritten by a version with no DNS nameservers in it. Michael Sullivan
153 wanted dhcpcd not to overwrite his resolv.conf.
154
155 Richard Fish suggested that Michael read /etc/conf.d/net.example. He pointed
156 out that if Michael really wanted full control of his dhcp options, he could
157 use something like dhcpcd_INTERFACE="DHCP PARAMETERS". However, an easier
158 way to accomplish the goal would be generic dhcp parameters in the form
159 dhcp_INTERFACE="nodns".
160
161 Novensiles divi Flamen had the same suggestion for Matthew, while Vikas
162 Kumar suggested dns_servers_INTERFACE=( "DNS SERVER 1 IP" "DNS SERVER 2 IP" ).

168 ---------------
169
170 Finally getting around to building live CDs with Catalyst
171
172 Ed Borasky is using catalyst to build a Gentoo-based live CD for advanced
173 applied mathematics (see
174 http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/Rameau/Rameau.pdf?root=cougar&view=co ). During the course of building, he had to unmask the hard-masked
175 sys-apps/gli, the Gentoo Linux Installer. He wanted to know if that was
176 correct and also how to create a live CD without installer.
177
178 To the first question, Andrew Gaffney suggested use of portage_overlay in
179 the spec file or unmasking gli in Ed's snapshot. To create a non-installer
180 live CD, gli should be removed entirely from the spec file.
181
182 Ed also wanted to know how to install some testing packages and whether
183 there was an overlay for make.conf. Chris Gianelloni said that there wasn't
184 by design (since catalyst's purpose is creating releases, for which unstable
185 software cannot be used). However, Ed could mark whatever packages he wanted
186 stable in his snapshot.
187
188 Ed responded that since he needed only a few unstable packages, this would
189 work for him.

197
198 Author Ben Drawbaugh details how to upgrade the hard drive in a Series3
199 TiVo. What software does he recommend to use when copying your data to your
200 shiny new drive? Why, Gentoo, of course. Drawbaugh describes using the
201 Minimal InstallCD and dd to copy the data.

326 XMMS and friends:
327 -----------------
328
329 Due to the large volume of packages in the XMMS masking, they have been
330 added into a section of their own. This is to ensure that they get proper
331 exposure, as this affects many people and is a hotly-debated item.
