Hi Jerry, |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
welcome back. Daniel and I have similar real job problems at the moment, |
| 11 |
so development |
| 12 |
goes a bit slow. |

Latest iso is still rc4_pre. I made a up to date build.tbz2 |
| 26 |
(gentoo-x86-dist/gentoo-1.0_rc4/packages/build-20010404.tbz2) yesterday, |
| 27 |
but |
| 28 |
portage is a bit flakey at the moment so it is a good idea to wait till |
| 29 |
the bugs |
| 30 |
are fixed, before you try to update. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I have reworked the half of our packages for rc4. Take a look at |
| 33 |
current-packages.rc4. |
| 34 |
I decided to force myself to rework at least 10 packages a day to get |
| 35 |
this stuff done. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The latest portage package includes a new script called emerg. Once it |
| 38 |
works it recursively compiles |
| 39 |
all required packages. So you can grab the build.tbz2 and say emerge |
| 40 |
kdebase-2.1.1.ebuild and everything |
| 41 |
that kde base-2.1.1 depends on get build automatic. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
We are working on documentation right now. Daniel has defined an XML |
| 44 |
format called guide(like docbook but simpler). Take a look at |
| 45 |
app-doc/gentoo-web you will find a guide->html xslt stylesheet there and |
| 46 |
a few |
| 47 |
guide-style xml docs. You will need gnome-libs/libxml2 and |
| 48 |
gnome-libs/libxslt to use the stylesheet. |
