Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Just wanted to let you know that we now have Bugzilla set up for bug reports. |
| 4 |
You can find the gentoo.org Bugzilla at bugs.gentoo.org, and bugs.gentoo.org |
| 5 |
can also be used to submit ebuilds. Simply select a "Gentoo Linux" product and |
| 6 |
an "Ebuilds" component and attach your ebuild. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Also, we now have anonymous cvs access working! We don't yet support anonymous |
| 9 |
cvs direct from the install CD (we will soon), but existing Gentoo Linux users |
| 10 |
can easily switch over by typing the following commands as root: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# emerge dev-util/cvs |
| 13 |
(if you haven't already) |
| 14 |
# cd /usr |
| 15 |
# export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@g.o:/home/anoncvs |
| 16 |
# cvs login |
| 17 |
(password is empty) |
| 18 |
# cvs co gentoo-x86 |
| 19 |
(you'll now have a gentoo-x86 directory in /usr) |
| 20 |
# mv portage portage.old |
| 21 |
(backing up old rsync portage dir) |
| 22 |
# mv portage.old/distfiles gentoo-x86 |
| 23 |
(keeping all previously-downloaded sources) |
| 24 |
# ln -s gentoo-x86 portage |
| 25 |
(we now have an anoncvs /usr/portage!) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
To update your sources, do this: |
| 28 |
# cd /usr/portage |
| 29 |
# cvs -q update -dP |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Anoncvs is updated at the same interval as rsync -- every :20 and :50 of the |
| 32 |
hour. cvs.gentoo.org's time is synchronized via NTP, and the update itself |
| 33 |
normally takes a minute or so. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I'll be updating the Web site soon to reflect these changes. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Best Regards, |
| 38 |
