18 Gentoo Linux at FOSDEM
19 ----------------------
20
21 Gentoo Linux was present at this weekend's FOSDEM[1], a meeting of
22 developers of Open Source software. Taking place in Brussels, Belgium,
23 this year's FOSDEM drew developers from many of the largest Open Source
24 projects, including KDE, GNOME, PostgreSQL, iptables and others. Daniel
25 Robbins was also present representing the Gentoo Linux project.

29 New Release Manager for 1.4
30 ---------------------------
31
32 Brad Cowan (bcowan) was recently appointed as the Gentoo Release
33 Coordinator and tasked with getting Gentoo Linux 1.4, as well as future
34 versions of Gentoo Linux, out the door. So far, Brad has been busy
35 finalizing the list of packages for the 1.4 Gentoo Reference Platform, as
36 well as coordinating efforts among the various development managers to
37 determine what needs to be finished before 1.4 can be officially released.
38
39 Icons for Gentoo Linux
40 ----------------------
41
42 Originally reported in last week's Heard In The Community[2] section, the
43 Gentoo Icon Set[3] has continued to grow and improve to the point where
44 the full set is now featured[4] on the main Gentoo.org web site.
45 Currently, with over 160 icons available and more being added each week,
46 this icon set offers users a comprehensive way to customize their Gentoo
47 Linux systems.

148 Brandon Low
149
150 This week we're featuring Brandon Low[14], maintainer of the
151 gentoo-sources kernel and the kernel eclass system used to create kernel
152 source ebuilds. As many of you know, the gentoo-sources are made by
153 applying various patches to vanilla sources (like the ones you find at
154 http://www.kernel.org); Brandon's job is to take the various fixes,
155 performance enhancements, and hardware support patches recommended by
156 Michael J. Cohen[15], Gentoo's resident kernel colonel, requested by
157 users, or found by himself to be suitable, and to 'patch-monkey' them all
158 together, making adjustments to ensure that the various patches work
159 together in order to get a working kernel. Before being put in
160 gentoo-sources, changes are often tested in lolo-sources, which is first
161 patched with a bunch of updates then slowly culled until it's released as
162 gentoo-sources. Brandon's kernels always contain documentation in a
163 patches.txt.gz file that is put in the documentation directory of the
164 kernel sources, but since the information often isn't as complete with
165 lolo-sources, he says that the best way to learn about a kernel patchset
166 is to watch as the patches are applied during the merge process. The
167 current lolo-sources are based on the Con Kolivas patchset, with the
168 addition of Gentoo-specific stuff as well as the iptables base and
169 optimization pachsets. Like Nicholas Jones[16](who actually started using
170 Gentoo and helping out with it on his suggestion), Brandon got his start
171 as a Gentoo developer hanging out in IRC and on Bugzilla making ebuilds
172 and assisting with bugs. His cool head and tendency to know when a patch
173 would be too much trouble was what gave him the final word on
174 gentoo-sources. A keen ebuilder, Brandon continues to make ebuilds for
175 applications that he needs or wants that aren't in the Portage tree.

181 A student of computer engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology,
182 Brandon also works as the general technology specialist at CopyTec[17] -
183 it's no wonder he has trouble balancing the remaining time between Gentoo
184 and his girlfriend. Brandon has two machines, lost and found: lost is an
185 Athlon XP workstation, while found is a headless Athlon T-Bird
186 WWW/mail/DNS server. Here's a long litany of the apps he likes to run on
187 his workstation: Gaim, Enlightenment, Eterm, Xchat, XMMS, giFT, Midnight
188 Commander, Mozilla, gkrellm2, lm_sensors, mutt, screen, pork, and bash. In
189 Real Life, Brandon likes to swim, play GameCube, and rollerblade.

200 What's In A Framebuffer?

202 Let's call it the Framebuffer Awareness Week. An extraordinary interest in
203 the possibilities (and limitations) of framebuffer consoles, using it in X

217 Fund Raising Ideas
218
219 The forums are notorious for posters throwing tantrums at the installation
220 process or application oddities, but the general mood has always been
221 extremely supportive of Gentoo Linux, its concept and further development.
222 Not astonishing, in this light, that initiatives emerge at regular
223 intervals that try to back up the idealistic support with something more
224 tangible, by raising money for the project as a whole. People are offering
225 money for e-mail-addresses that display their affection for Gentoo, club
226 memberships (Mandrake style) are being discussed, even paying for an
227 overnight ebuild service, in a nutshell: anything that could help to put
228 Gentoo on the next evolutionary stage:

240 Using phpBB
241
242 A few threads have dealt with the shortcomings of the software that drives
243 the Forums, phpBB. Its structure sometimes prevents things from being just
244 as powerful as some of the users would like it, but advances are clearly
245 being made. The search function has been modified, searching for all
246 search terms is now the default for both the Search page and the Quick
247 Search text input box, and sometimes things just fall into place with an
248 upgrade to phpBB itself: Posting in Japanese miraculously started to work
249 last week.

257 What Are Those ._cfg* Files Anyway?
258
259 One of the most frequently overlooked features of portage, the etc-update
260 command, has equally frequently been dealt with at the forums. It is a
261 better known fact that critical config files are protected from being
262 automatically overwritten during emerge, but before you struggle with
263 manually editing all those files with names starting on ._cfg that keep
264 appearing below the /etc threshold and elsewhere, you may want to have a
265 look at this thread from last week:

276 Installing non ebuild software
277
278 Contrary to what we'd like to believe, software is still being written on
279 non Gentoo systems and not packaged as an ebuild. Robert Shar asked if
280 there is a standard method to installing programs lacking an ebuild. As
281 the responses rolled in, it became clear that there isn't a 'standard'
282 method of handling non ebuild software, but many clever ways to do it.
283 Collins Richey suggested modifying the configure script[30] to install the
284 software under /opt and Pat Double thought it would be just as painless to
285 create an ebuild[31]. Cal Evans even proposed[32] that a utility to
286 convert an RPM (currently the most popular packaging system) to an ebuild
287 should be written.

295 A popular thread emerged (pardon the pun) on gentoo-user sharing the

297 of work[33] to nearly getting fired[34] from the job, the stories within
298 are sure to bring back the nostalgic memories of wishing time was
299 reversible... if only for just one command. There is also a related
300 thread[35] in the forums. Time heals, and posting does too.

306 Disk Full?!? Quick resolutions
307
308 To Jorge Almeida's astonishment, his fresh Gentoo system was reporting the
309 disk was full after a KDE 3.1 upgrade. Developer Nick Jones
310 recommended[36] removing all files under /var/tmp/portage,
311 /usr/portage/distfiles, and /usr/portage/packages -- noting that distfiles
312 and packages may contain wanted files that portage would have to download
313 again if they were removed. It was also noted that cleaning out /var/log
314 is another quick way to free space, especially if a log rotator has not
315 been installed. Volker Hemmann let us know that his
316 /var/log/.xsession-errors once grew to a size of 3.7GB!

323 Gentoo XML Database.
324
325 Yannick Koehler started[37] a very interesting thread with "For the fun of
326 it, I created a little tool very custom and untested that will read the the
327 cache files of gentoo and generate on the stdout a valid xml file. [...]
328 What's interesting is that the database is generated from a gentoo system
329 pretty easily because of the presence of the cache. One could easily think
330 about creating a direct ebuilds -> xml db software instead of passing
331 through the cache." Vano D proposed[38] its application "for making a
332 "portage server" serving portage ebuilds and recording the cache
333 information (as in what is installed with what USE flags) for every single
334 client machine having an "account" on the db."

341 Kashif Shaikh asked[39]: "I've been using Gentoo now for a couple of
342 months, wrote some ebuilds, loved gentoo's simplicity(configuration
343 system), etc. BUT, I would like to get involved more with Gentoo though I
344 don't know where to start or what to improve." John Nilsson briefly
345 answered[40] with "Your todo list is called bugs.gentoo.org[41] =)" and
346 continued with "Seriously what you could do that I would like is a
347 gentoo-user-wiki. For Swedish users take a look at
348 http://www.susning.nu[42] and you'll know what I'm talking about. Is there

356 Follow-up: Portage Database Management.
357
358 Ingo Krabbe started[43] quite a busy thread with his question of wether
359 there were any plans to have Portage use a database in order to improve
360 speed! Some ideas for its application were tossed in, such as John
361 Nilsson's: "This db would have more indepth information of every package,
362 HOWTOS, bugs, discussions all that kind of information you would wan't
363 (mostly just a gentoo specific info text and link to a homepage I suspect,
364 but you COULD add more)."

380 Snapshot from Japan: Gentoo in User Mode Linux on RedHat 8.0
381
382 Masanori "Smiley" Omote isn't really what you call a hardened Gentoo user.
383 He's been running RedHat for ages, and doesn't have any immediate plans to
384 give it up. But his friends at the Tokyo Linux User Group had been
385 pestering him so much about the most elegant of penguins, something was
386 bound to happen. As it turned out, something equally elegant: Smiley,
387 looking for a way to run both gcc 2.9x and 3.x on the same machine at the
388 same time, went and installed Gentoo Linux in a virtual machine in User
389 Mode Linux (UML) on his tiny Sony Vaio C1, a subnotebook sporting a
390 Transmeta CPU, 256 MB and - RedHat 8.0. Now, whether this was the right
391 way to go about it, or even the right order in which to put one on top of
392 the other is a matter of debate, but for someone with a RedHat background,
393 his perfectly documented installation manuscript has a reassuringly
394 familiar look...
