New LiveCDs[1] and stage tarballs[2] have been released for the AMD64 |
21 |
platform. Changes include many new updated ebuilds, miscellaneous bugfixes |
22 |
and other improvements. Users with Opterons are encouraged to test these |
23 |
items out to help our efforts to port Gentoo Linux over to the AMD64 |
24 |
architecture. |

Gentoo Forums reach several new milestones |
30 |
------------------------------------------ |
31 |
|
32 |
Most users of Gentoo Linux have taken advantage of the wealth of knowledge |
33 |
available in the Gentoo Forums[3]. As Gentoo Linux has continued to grow |
34 |
in popularity, so have the forums. Recently, the forums past several |
35 |
milestones: |
36 |
|
37 |
3. http://forums.gentoo.org |
38 |
|
39 |
* More than 25,000 registered users |
40 |
* More than 75,000 topic threads |
41 |
* Over 500 days old |
42 |
|
43 |
Additionally, the forums database is nearing 2GB in size, with almost half |
44 |
a million posts. As far as we can tell, this makes it the busiest forum of |
45 |
any Linux distribution. While the forums have recently started to show |
46 |
some signs of strain due to the continued growth, they remain one of the |
47 |
best sources of information related to Gentoo Linux. |
48 |
|
49 |
Over the coming months, we will continue to make changes to the forums to |
50 |
improve their usability and scalability. |

Mostly Harmless |
134 |
|
135 |
Some people used to blame baselayout, some the transition from modutils to |
136 |
module-init-tools, and everybody agrees that devfs is behind it all. |
137 |
Several threads over the past few weeks have pointed out that dozens of |
138 |
error messages are scrolling past the screen or cluttering the log files |
139 |
upon each reboot and user login or logout. While the noise certainly has |
140 |
nothing to do with a malfunctioning system, it is very annoying to many |
141 |
people, and makes the occasional real error much harder to spot, of course: |
142 |
|
143 |
* Can't locate module /dev/rtc[25] |
144 |
* Devfs was declared obsolete today in the 2.6-test kernel!?![26] |
145 |
* [Bug report] module-init-tools 0.9.13_pre2 spewing output again[27] |

2.6 Kernel Attracting the Masses |
153 |
|
154 |
With the test being up to number 4 by now, many people (including lots who |
155 |
never tried the 2.5.x series before) are checking if it works for them to |
156 |
move on to the next major release of the Linux kernel. The most weathered |
157 |
kernel testers among the Gentooists have always been particularly fast to |
158 |
spot problems and discuss them in the Forums, and many times they're also |
159 |
providing help to newcomers while they're at it. |

Missing Locales |
171 |
|
172 |
Not all locales get created automatically in Gentoo. Few people seem to |
173 |
know this, and every now and again it shimmers through a forum post: |
174 |
|
175 |
* I'm missing locale de_DE.utf8[31] |
176 |
* Install-Guide should contain setting the locale[32] |

Understanding Cron |
188 |
|
189 |
Something like the Cron daemon may seem simple to experienced Linux |
190 |
administrators. But sometimes the configuration and layout can be |
191 |
confusing to newer Linux users, like Scott Jones. Scott was trying check |
192 |
his email every hour with Cron, and some other mailing list members |
193 |
replied with tips and pointers that even more experienced Linux users may |
194 |
benefit from. Thread here [34] . |

Switching Processors |
200 |
|
201 |
Mailing list member Stephen was swapping an Intel P4 processor for an AMD |
202 |
Athlon XP. in a post he made on the -user list this week, he inquired how |
203 |
he could do this without reinstalling Gentoo all over again. Some fellow |
204 |
list members came to the rescue with a flood of tips and suggestions to |
205 |
help the swap go smoothly. Read it here [35] . |

To Root or not to Root? |
214 |
|
215 |
Rob Cakebread posed a question [36] about root privilages when |
216 |
interacting with portage, especially with the perspective of creating |
217 |
portage related applications. |

Copyright, copyleft, copy what? |
222 |
|
223 |
A issue that comes up as often as the portage tree is changed is the one |
224 |
of copyright [37] and how it relates back to our much loved Gentoo linux |
225 |
systems. Paul asked this question related to why licence and copyright |
226 |
assignments are included in ebuilds. |

There was a very active thread[38] this week regarding the current status |

of the LiveCDs while other users suggested ways of reducing the |

9. Tips and Tricks |
916 |
================== |
917 |
|
918 |
Converting data with units |
919 |
|
920 |
This week's tip shows you how to use the units command which is a nifty |
921 |
utility that converts quantities between scales (e.g. meters to feet or |
922 |
kilograms to pounds). While not an essential tool, it can certainly be |
923 |
convenient at times. |
924 |
|
925 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
926 |
| Code Listing 9.1: | |
927 |
| Getting units | |
928 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
929 |
| | |
930 |
|# emerge app-sci/units | |
931 |
| | |
932 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
933 |
|
934 |
There are two ways to use the units command, interactively and |
935 |
non-interactively. To use it interactively, simply issue the command |
936 |
units. |
937 |
|
938 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
939 |
| Code Listing 9.2: | |
940 |
| Using units interactively | |
941 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
942 |
| | |
943 |
|% units | |
944 |
|1948 units, 71 prefixes, 28 functions | |
945 |
| | |
946 |
|You have: 1 meter | |
947 |
|You want: feet | |
948 |
| * 3.2808399 | |
949 |
| / 0.3048 | |
950 |
|You have: 3 kilograms | |
951 |
|You want: pounds | |
952 |
| * 6.6138679 | |
953 |
| / 0.15119746 | |
954 |
| | |
955 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
956 |
|
957 |
The first number (prefixed by a *) indicates the conversion as you |
958 |
specified (i.e. there are about 3.28 feet in a meter). The second number |
959 |
is the conversion in the opposite direction (i.e. there are about 0.3 |
960 |
meters in a foot). |
961 |
|
962 |
To use units non-interactively, issue the command followed by the original |
963 |
expression and then the new expression. |
964 |
|
965 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
966 |
| Code Listing 9.3: | |
967 |
| Using units non-interactively | |
968 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
969 |
| | |
970 |
|How many pecks are in a bushel? | |
971 |
|% units '1 bushel' 'peck' | |
972 |
| * 4 | |
973 |
| / 0.25 | |
974 |
| | |
975 |
|How many miles per hour are in a knot? | |
976 |
|% units '1 knot' 'mph' | |
977 |
| * 1.1507794 | |
978 |
| / 0.86897624 | |
979 |
| | |
980 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
981 |
|
982 |
A 'knot' is one nautical mile per hour. |
983 |
See the man page (man units) for more information on the units command. |
