Gentoo Weekly Newsletter
http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/current.xml
This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of June 23rd, 2003.

Where is Gentoo Linux 1.4?
--------------------------
One of the most often asked questions in the Gentoo Forums, mailing lists
and IRC channels is, "When will Gentoo Linux 1.4 be released?" While we
don't have an exact date to answer that question, we will provide an
update on the progress made towards 1.4 later on. First, however, let's
clear up one common misconception that many Gentoo users have. Releases do
not matter in Gentoo Linux. If you install any version of Gentoo Linux and
complete an emerge -u world, congratulations, you are running the most
current version of Gentoo Linux. You can start with one of the current
LiveCDs for installation purposes, or you can use any number of other
alternatives[1]. Either way, you're going to end up with a cutting-edge,
fully-optimized installation of Gentoo Linux, tailored to your
specifications.
1. /doc/en/altinstall.xml
So why does Gentoo Linux have numbered releases at all? Good question and
one that has been debated internally amongst the development team. There
are some features of Gentoo Linux that are tied to version numbers, most
notably the Gentoo Reference Packages and the LiveCD used for
installation.
As for the promised update about the current status of Gentoo Linux 1.4,
work continues towards our goals and milestones tied to 1.4. Work has been
done[2] towards an optional script that will allow users to automatically
set CFLAGS and CHOST variables. Improvements to stager have been made
available in the experimental[3] section of our distfile mirrors and new
GRP packages are being prepped as well. As with all Gentoo products, a
release will be made when the product has met our quality and stability
standards, and it is not tied to any specific date.

Two additional new source mirrors for North America
---------------------------------------------------
Continuing the recent trend[8] we're pleased to announce two new Gentoo
Linux source mirrors in North America, graciously provided by Seren
Innovations[9] and Adelie Linux[10].

4. Featured Developer of the Week
=================================
D.M.D. Ljungmark, aka Spider
This week we're featuring Spider, who maintains many of the Gnome ebuilds
as well as some others spread around the tree. Spider was actually a
member of the Gnome Packaging Project when he switched from his own
reworked distribution to Gentoo, and so his involvement began with the
building of Gnome2 packages as well as some loose ends to the project like
Vi, Nethack, POVRay, and others. Right now he's working on porting the
Ximian G2D patches to Gentoo; otherwise he generally follows releases and
works to ensure a smooth path to get them into the tree. A member of the
Gnome Foundation in addition to the Gnome Packaging Project, Spider has
also written hints and tips for LinuxFromScratch[38], and his proudest
achievement to date is the Migration Guide[39].
38. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
39. http://gentoo.org/~spider/migration-guide.html
A minimalist command-line junky with a soft spot for well-designed CLI
tools and other things that "wrap around your fingers" like lftp, zsh, and
epiphany, Spider is currently using two 1GHz Athlon machines: one testing
Ximian Gnome on Gentoo, the other running Openbox, sylpheed, xchat-1.8,
and a horde of aterms running zsh and/or vim.
Spider was a judo instructor who spent a lot of time in the dojos but is
now suffering chronic depression, social phobia, and anxiety disorder in
his mid twenties. Currently on a disability pension and taking a summer
break from social rehabilitation, he says he spends too much of his time
by his computer. He's also been feeding his music addiction, dabbling in
the questionable art of digital photography, and having heated arguments
with friends and acquaintances while feeding his Mocha addiction in
various cafes. Spider lives in Norrköping, and stays awake for too long
to sit and watch the dawn outside his window, and swears a lot at the fact
that it never gets dark out there (Because this[40] is as dark as the
night gets there).

LiveUSB? Keychain to Boot
A very interesting discussion has slowly been growing around the ability
of recent BIOSes to boot not only from traditional devices like CDs,
floppies or network drives, but from removable USB sticks with flash
memory, too. The small plug-in stubs are available with anything from 64
MB well into the GB range, and are well worth the effort if you want to
carry your Gentoo about, or boot Linux on somebody else's PC. The gist:
You can easily write data back to a USB device, try that with a silver
platter...

Improving The Mozilla Web Browsing Experience
Seeing that installing or finding plugins for the Mozilla Web Browser can
sometimes be a pain, Mknecht made a suggestion to improve the situation.
His suggestion included creating an all-inclusive ebuild that would grab
most plugins automatically. Other users came up with different ideas,
ranging from manual installs, to a full fledged "gentoo service site" that
would automatcally point you to the needed plugins for various file
formats. The thread can be found here[47].

=======================
Internationalization of gentoo.org
You hear a distant rumble... Initiated by FRLinux[49], some of the
translators busy hacking away at portions of the Gentoo website, including
this newsletter, have started an initiative to internationalize the Gentoo
website itself. There's a motion[50] on bugs.gentoo.org that tries to win
support for Net- and FreeBSD-like language handling for the entire
website, linguistically transparent and completely consistent over all
versions. Suggestions include links from the main website to international
efforts on {ISO country code}.gentoo.org, and you can join the discussion
either via Bugzilla or the Forums, in a thread called "Gentoo
International Community"[51] (it's in French, do feel free to open an
English thread about the same subject in Other Things Gentoo).

9. Tips and Tricks
==================
Querying Portage with etcat
This week's tip shows you how to use the etcat command to retrieve
information on Portage, USE flags, package versions, and much more.
While there are other package query utilities such as qpkg or epm, etcat
has some unique features. Some of these features include the ability to
display the amount of disk space a particular package is using, the USE
flags the package was compiled with, and the versions available for a
package.
The first step is installing the app-admin/gentoolkit package from
Portage. This installs etcat (among other utilities) to /usr/bin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 9.1: |
| Getting etcat |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
|# emerge app-admin/gentoolkit |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To view the size of the package, use etcat size [package].

| Total Files : 26 |
| Total Size : 806.92 KB |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To look at the USE flags a package was compiled with, use etcat uses
[package]. For example, the following command shows which USE flags
Postfix was compiled with.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 9.3: |
| Displaying USE flags |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
|# etcat uses net-mail/postfix |

| |
|# etcat uses fluxbox |

|[ : (I) Col 2 - Installed With USE flags ] |
| |
| U I [ Found these USE variables in : x11-wm/fluxbox-0.1.14-r1 ] |
| - - kde : Adds support for kde-base/kde (K Desktop Enviroment) |
| + + gnome : Adds GNOME support |
| + + nls : unknown |
| + - xinerama : Add support for XFree86's xinerama extension, which |
| allows you to stretch your display across multiple |
| monitors |
| + + truetype : Adds support for FreeType and/or FreeType2 fonts |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To see which versions of a specific package are available, use etcat
versions [package]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 9.4: |
| Displaying available package versions |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
|# etcat versions kde-base/kde |
|[ Results for search key : kde-base/kde ] |

If you don't specify the category, etcat will try to find all possible

For more detailed information, type man etcat. For a quick overview of
available options, just type etcat.
