I don't think so. Upgrade the ebuild file and send it to bugs.gentoo.org if |
| 8 |
you want it in gentoo |

Take a look at /usr/portage/profiles directory. There is a lot of interesting |
| 19 |
stuff there : package.mask for the packages that you don't want, or |
| 20 |
default/packages for the list of default packages. |
| 21 |
You can create your own profile too, and put there only the packages you want. |

This is a bug in gkrellmms. If you compile it from sources, you get the |
| 31 |
same error. Try on their mailing list (if they have one)... |

Yes, use LANG environnement variable : |
| 38 |
maciek@dune maciek $ export LANG="fr_FR" |
| 39 |
maciek@dune maciek $ ls /rien |
| 40 |
ls: /rien: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type |
| 41 |
maciek@dune maciek $ export LANG="en_EN" |
| 42 |
maciek@dune maciek $ ls /rien |
| 43 |
ls: /rien: No such file or directory |

All the packages are organised in /usr/portage tree. You can use find (or |
| 51 |
locate) to browse them. |

Gentoo is NOT a rpm distribution. The rpm ebuild is put in portage in order |
| 59 |
to let you install some (almost always proprietary) software distributed only |
| 60 |
in rpms files. Personnally, I don't know any of these that needs rpm 4. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Anyway, I am sure that your ebuild will be welcome ;+) |

If you think C++ is not overly complicated, just what is |
| 70 |
a protected abstract virtual base pure virtual private |
| 71 |
destructor, and when was the last time you needed one? |
