142 -Recent versions of xorg's X11 require kernel support to access PCI and AGP
143 -graphic cards. This support has only recently been added to the Linux kernel
144 -(sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.30 and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5).
145 -Thus, you will need to run a recent enough kernel to use recent versions of X11
146 -on an alpha. If you only start programs on your alpha, but the display is on
147 -another machine, no upgrade is necessary.
148 -
149 -Furthermore, not all graphics card drivers have been updated to work with the
150 -newer X server API. One example is the glint driver used for Permedia cards. The
151 -upstream developers have been informed about this, but no fixes are available
152 -yet, please see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21546

310 -Layman has been using /usr/local/portage/layman to store

312 -was violating the concept of keeping portage away from
313 -/usr/local the default of this storage location moves to
314 -
315 - /var/lib/layman
316 -
317 -from version 1.3.0 on. If you have never touched the file

320 -of layman.cfg.
321 -
322 -As that would hide all your currently installed overlays from layman
323 -it's probably not what you want. Your options are:
324 -
325 - A) Moving
326 - 1. Move your current content to /var/lib/layman.
327 - 2. Update PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /var/lib/layman/make.conf accordingly.
328 - 3. Make /etc/make.conf source /var/lib/layman/make.conf.
329 - 4. Set option "storage" in /etc/layman/layman.cfg
330 - to "/var/lib/layman".
331 -
332 - B) A symlink
333 - Put a symlink to your current storage location at /var/lib/layman
334 - before upgrading layman.
335 -
336 - C) Configuration
337 - Reject the path change for layman.cfg when running tools like
338 - etc-update or dispatch-conf. Be aware with this way you'll have
339 - to do it for each layman update again.

350 -Title: MythTV 0.22 Upgrade Database Corruption

358 -Due to an incompatibility between MythTV 0.21 and the default Gentoo
359 -MySQL configuration, it is likely that long-time MythTV users will
360 -have databases with a mixture of locale encodings. If you upgrade to
361 -0.22 without following these directions carefully, you could end up
362 -with a database that contains errors that are extremely difficult to
363 -fix.
364 -
365 -Note that not all mythtv users need to modify their databases, and
366 -this should only be performed at the time of the upgrade. The guide
367 -below contains instructions that can be used to determine if this
368 -problem pertains to you.
369 -
370 -Please see the MythTV Upgrade Guide for instructions:
371 -
372 - http://wiki.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding
373 -
374 -Be sure to save a database backup using mysqldump before upgrading.
375 -Also, be sure to upgrade any other clients/backends you are using to
376 -0.22 at the same time. The upgrade instructions need to be followed
377 -once per database - individual client/backend upgrades do not require
378 -these steps.
379 -
380 -If you do run into problems with your upgrade, there is a forum thread
381 -where you may be able to find help:

438 -Python 3 is a new major version of Python and is intentionally incompatible
439 -with Python 2. Many external modules have not been ported yet to Python 3,
440 -so Python 2 still needs to be installed. You can benefit from having Python 3
441 -installed without setting Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
442 -Currently you should not set Python 3.1 as main active version of Python.
443 -When setting it becomes recommended, a separate news item will be created
444 -to notify users.
445 -
446 -Although Python 3.1 should not be set as main active version of Python,
447 -you should run python-updater after installation of Python 3.1. By default,
448 -modules that support both Python 2 and Python 3 are installed for both
449 -the active version of Python 2 and the active version of Python 3 when both
450 -Python 2 and Python 3 are installed.
451 -
452 -It is recommended to use a UTF-8 locale to avoid potential problems. Especially
453 -C and POSIX locales are discouraged. If locale has not been explicitly set,
454 -then POSIX locale is used, so you should ensure that locale has been set.
455 -Problems occurring only with non-UTF-8 locales should be reported directly
456 -to upstream developers of given packages.
457 -See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml for more information about UTF-8.

715 -The method for setting default applications for specific URI types
716 -(https://, mailto://, etc.) changed in dev-libs/glib-2.28 and newer.
717 -If you previously set them in GConf using the Configuration Editor,
718 -they will now be ignored.

720 -If you use GNOME, you must upgrade gnome-session and
721 -gnome-control-center and set your default browser/mail-client again.
722 -
723 -If you don't use GNOME, you should ensure that the file
724 -~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list has the following content:
725 -
726 -[Added Associations]
727 -x-scheme-handler/http=$browser_name.desktop;
728 -x-scheme-handler/https=$browser_name.desktop;
729 -x-scheme-handler/mailto=$mailclient_name.desktop;
730 -
731 -Replace $browser_name.desktop and $mailclient_name.desktop with the
732 -appropriate file from /usr/share/applications that can handle
733 -http/https/mailto URIs.
734 -
735 -The system-wide version of the file is often at
736 -/usr/share/applications/defaults.list instead.
737 -
738 -Please make sure that your browsers and mail clients have been upgraded

760 -The baselayout package provides files which all systems must have in

828 -After upgrading from libpng14 to libpng15 it's important that you rebuild
829 -cairo and gdk-pixbuf as soon as possible if they are installed.
830 -
831 -Then you can proceed with rebuilding the rest of the software against the new
832 -library:
833 -
834 -# revdep-rebuild --library libpng14.so.14 -- --keep-going
835 -
836 -Note: It might be necessary to run the previous command more than once.
837 -
838 -If you find packages not building with the message "ld: cannot find -lpng14",
839 -they are likely caused by broken libtool archives (.la) in your system.
840 -
841 -You can identify those files with following one-liner:
842 -
843 -# find /usr/ -name '*.la' -exec grep png14 {} +
844 -
845 -Once you have identified the broken files, you can either delete them,
846 -edit them in place and replace png14 with png15, or re-emerge the packages
847 -they belong to.

1196 -to the profile directories that make it possible for the developers to do more
1197 -fine-grained use flag masking (see PMS-5 for the details), and this formally
1198 -requires a new profile tree with EAPI=5.

1206 -Title: Upgrading udev to version >=200
1207 -Author: Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@g.o>
1208 -Content-Type: text/plain
1209 -Posted: 2013-03-29
1210 -Revision: 2
1211 -News-Item-Format: 1.0
1212 -Display-If-Installed: <sys-fs/udev-201
1213 -
1214 -This replaces the earlier news item about the udev 197 upgrade and
1215 -describes the predictable network interface names in more detail.
1216 -
1217 -If you skip anything in this news item, your system will not be
1218 -bootable, or your networking will be down, or both.
1219 -
1220 -Pay attention also to every message printed by emerge of sys-fs/udev
1221 -and sys-fs/udev-init-scripts as this news item may not be complete.
1222 -
1223 -1. udev-postmount init script:
1224 -
1225 -Remove the udev-postmount init script from your runlevels.
1226 -
1227 -2. devtmpfs support:
1228 -
1229 -You need at least version 2.6.32 of the kernel for devtmpfs
1230 -functionality. Once you have this, make sure CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y is set
1231 -in the kernel configuration. See the gentoo udev guide for the option in
1232 -make menuconfig [1].
1233 -
1234 -If you have a line for /dev in /etc/fstab, make sure it is configured
1235 -for file system type devtmpfs (not tmpfs or any other type). Also, you
1236 -can remove this line if you prefer, since devtmpfs is mounted
1237 -automatically.
1238 -
1239 -3. Old interface naming rules:
1240 -
1241 -If the system still has old network interface renaming rules in
1242 -/etc/udev/rules.d, like 70-persistent-net.rules, those will need
1243 -to be either modified or removed.
1244 -
1245 -If you choose to modify them, you must use free namespace (like net*
1246 -or internet*) instead of kernel namespace (like eth* or wlan*)
1247 -because in-place renaming has been deprecated, see small
1248 -documentation of it if you like[2].
1249 -
1250 -The file 70-persistent-net.rules, like the 70-persistent-cd.rules
1251 -should be removed, so if you modify, rename the file also to something
1252 -else like 70-my-network.rules to silence the deprecation warning coming
1253 -from the end of the sys-fs/udev emerge.
1254 -
1255 -This is the old format with reserved namespace:
1256 -
1257 -SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="eth0"
1258 -SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy", NAME="eth1"
1259 -
1260 -This is the new format with free namespace:
1261 -
1262 -SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="net0"
1263 -SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy", NAME="net1"
1264 -
1265 -4. predictable network interface names:
1266 -
1267 -If /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules is an empty file or a
1268 -symlink to /dev/null, the new names will be disabled and the kernel will
1269 -do all the interface naming, and the resulting names may vary by kernel
1270 -configuration, hardware configuration and kernel version.
1271 -
1272 -Also, the forementioned old 70-persistent-net.rules might interfere with
1273 -the new predictable interface names.
1274 -
1275 -You can get attributes of your network interfaces using a command like
1276 -the following (replace eth0 with the name of the appropriate interface):
1277 -
1278 -# udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/eth0 2> /dev/null
1279 -
1280 -You can copy /lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules to
1281 -/etc/udev/rules.d and specify the attributes and in which order
1282 -they will be used for naming. See upstream wiki[3] for detailed list
1283 -of options.
1284 -
1285 -You can prepare the system for the new names before booting for example
1286 -by renaming /etc/init.d/net.* symlinks, editing /etc/conf.d/net, etc.
1287 -
1288 -The feature can also be completely disabled using net.ifnames=0 on the
1289 -kernel command line.
1290 -
1291 -If you only have one interface card, you don't necessarily have much
1292 -use for this feature as the name almost always stays at eth0, you can
1293 -easily disable it using forementioned methods.
1294 -
1295 -This feature can also replace the functionality of sys-apps/biosdevname,
1296 -but you can still keep using it if you want.
1297 -
1298 -In a normal new installation there are no files in /etc/udev/rules.d
1299 -and if you haven't edited any files you have in there, you should most
1300 -likely backup and delete them all if they don't belong to any packages.
1301 -
1302 -The official wiki has a dedicated page for udev upgrade notes[4].

1323 -WARNING! THIS NEWS ITEM REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!
1324 -
1325 -On 28 Jun 2011, baselayout-2.x and OpenRC were first marked stable on
1326 -all supported architectures in Gentoo Linux.
1327 -
1328 -Although we no longer support baselayout-1.x, we have continued support
1329 -for migration from baselayout-1.x to baselayout-2.x and OpenRC.
1330 -
1331 -According to Gentoo policy, the support for migration was slated to end
1332 -on 28 Jun 2012, a year after OpenRC was first marked stable.
1333 -
1334 -This is your final warning. openrc-0.11.8 will be the final release of
1335 -OpenRC to support migration from baselayout-1.x.
1336 -
1337 -If you do not upgrade your system to baselayout-2.x and openrc-0.11.8
1338 -before openrc-0.11.8 leaves the tree, you will have to perform the
1339 -migration manually when you upgrade or you will be left with an
1340 -unbootable system. Manual migration is not officially supported, and
1341 -could include fixing things with a live cd or re-installing your system.
1342 -
1343 -For questions about how to migrate your system, see the OpenRC migration
1344 -guide [1].

1438 -The Gentoo Kernel Team will no longer be providing stable
1439 -vanilla-sources kernels. All currently stabilized vanilla-sources
1440 -versions will be dropped to ~arch. The Arch teams, via normal requests
1441 -of the Kernel Team, will continue to stabilize gentoo-sources kernels
1442 -upon request. This decision is based on the facts that upstream is now
1443 -releasing approximately 1-2 vanilla-sources kernels a week. Arch teams,
1444 -understandably, are unable to keep up with this rate of release. As
1445 -most vanilla releases contain security fixes, the user who only runs
1446 -stable vanilla-sources will consistently be behind and potentially at
1447 -risk. For the latest "upstream kernel unpatched by Gentoo", we
1448 -recommend users add 'sys-kernel/vanilla-sources' to their
1449 -package.accept_keywords file. gentoo-sources will continue to be a
1450 -tested and supported version for Gentoo users.
1451 -
1452 -
1453 -Note: This news item only applies to gentoo-sources and vanilla-sources.
1454 -Other kernels currently maintained in portage have their own policies
1455 -and procedures in place today.

1473 -Following discussion [1] and a vote by the Gentoo Council [2,3],
1474 -m68k, s390, and sh will drop all stable keywords and become
1475 -unstable/testing only arches. The main reason for this is that
1476 -these arch teams visibly lack manpower, resulting in undesirable
1477 -delays.
1478 -
1479 -In a week, the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS variable in the respective profiles
1480 -will be switched to automatically include ~arch packages. Systems
1481 -running stable before will update to current unstable/testing then.

1505 -Linux systems which have / and /usr on separate file systems but do not
1506 -use an initramfs will not be supported starting on 01-Nov-2013.
1507 -
1508 -If you have / and /usr on separate file systems and you are not
1509 -currently using an initramfs, you must set one up before this date.
1510 -Otherwise, at some point on or after this date, upgrading packages
1511 -will make your system unbootable.

1513 -For more information on setting up an initramfs, see this URL:
1514 -
1515 -https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Initramfs/HOWTO
1516 -
1517 -Due to many upstream changes, properly supporting Linux systems that
1518 -have /usr missing at boot time has become increasingly difficult.
1519 -Despite all our efforts, it already breaks in some exotic
1520 -configurations, and this trend is likely to grow worse.

1522 -For more information on the upstream changes and why using an initramfs
1523 -is the cleanest route forward, see the following URLs:

1542 -A newer version of GRUB (sys-boot/grub) is now stable. There are now
1543 -two available slots:
1544 -
1545 -sys-boot/grub:0 - Known as "GRUB Legacy"
1546 -sys-boot/grub:2 - Known as "GRUB2"
1547 -
1548 -GRUB2 uses a different configuration format, and requires a manual
1549 -migration before your system will actually use it. A guide [1] is
1550 -available on the gentoo.org website, and the Gentoo wiki [2][3] has
1551 -additional information.
1552 -
1553 -If you would prefer not to migrate at this time, you do not need to
1554 -take any action: GRUB Legacy will remain functional in /boot. To
1555 -prevent any associated files (documentation) from being removed, add
1556 -sys-boot/grub:0 to your world file. For example:
1557 -
1558 -emerge --noreplace sys-boot/grub:0

1609 -
1610 -Due to the recent issues which caused dev-python/python-exec:0 to be
1611 -removed prematurely [1], we had to perform an urgent package move.
1612 -Since we could not use the automatic updates support in portage, users
1613 -will notice two python-exec packages and possibly blockers.
1614 -
1615 -Currently, dev-lang/python-exec is the real package that contains
1616 -python-exec and that will be used in the future. dev-python/python-exec
1617 -is a virtual package that is kept for compatibility with dependencies
1618 -in already-installed packages.
1619 -
1620 -In the most favorable scenario, the package will be upgraded correctly
1621 -on your next world update if you use the '--deep' (-D) and '--update'
1622 -(-u) options. If you don't want to perform a complete world update
1623 -or if it fails for you, you may as well manually upgrade
1624 -dev-python/python-exec:
1625 -
1626 - emerge -1 dev-python/python-exec
1627 -
1628 -This will cause portage to update both python-exec packages and resolve
1629 -the blockers properly.
1630 -
1631 -Please note that if you have applied any kind of package-specific
1632 -modifications to dev-python/python-exec (such as applying keywords
1633 -through 'package.accept_keywords'), you will need to copy them to
1634 -dev-lang/python-exec as well.
1635 -
1636 -If you have applied keywords to dev-python/python-exec in order
1637 -to unmask Python 3.3 on a stable system, please consider removing
1638 -the keywords and reading our wiki page that explains how to properly
1639 -unmask USE flags [2].
1640 -
1641 -We apologize for all the inconveniences. If you have any more issues
1642 -with python-exec, please do not hesitate to contact as at #gentoo-python
1643 -IRC channel (@freenode) or the gentoo-python@l.g.o mailing
