Hello everyone... just wanted to drop a note here about the procedures to |
2 |
follow when finding a bug in Gentoo PPC...following this procedure will |
3 |
greatly help us to remedy things quicker and not have to ask silly questions |
4 |
after the fact (hopefully) |
5 |
|
6 |
1) make sure you are running current portage (emerge rsync and try again first |
7 |
of all).. things move fast in Gentoo and the PPC tree especially right now |
8 |
|
9 |
2) rm -rf /var/cache/edb/deps/* and try again (sometimes old deps get left |
10 |
there and cause problems) |
11 |
|
12 |
3) if the problem still exists please file a bug report on bugs.gentoo.org |
13 |
(after searching if the bug already exists that is), following the bug |
14 |
reporting guidelines laid out on that site (similar to what I've just posted |
15 |
here). |
16 |
|
17 |
4) Be Verbose!! Bugs like "this pkg is broken when I try to install it" is |
18 |
just not helpful. Any information that may be relevant about your setup, your |
19 |
USE settings, your machine configuration and kernel version, etc are |
20 |
extremely helpful |
21 |
|
22 |
5) if making an attachment on bugs, please read how to do it (have gotten |
23 |
several attachments lately that were difficult to extract) |
24 |
|
25 |
6) you can check in on IRC at irc.openprojects.net in #gentoo-ppc ... most |
26 |
times someone is around that might know what's going on icon_smile.gif |
27 |
|
28 |
Thanks everyone for helping to make Gentoo PPC the best distro possible and |
29 |
happy Gentoo'ing all |
