18 KDE 3.1 Released
19 ----------------
20
21 On Tuesday, KDE 3.1 was released to the Linux community, with Gentoo
22 ebuilds available the same day. This new release contains many new
23 features[1] and security enhancements. While there have been some reports
24 of troubles, the upgrade process seems to be going fairly smoothly for
25 most users. The largest complaint so far has been the amount of time
26 necessary to compile the new version of KDE, with many users reporting
27 significant increases from KDE 3.0 compile times.

31 Mirror Slowdowns
32 ----------------
33
34 One of the side affects of the KDE 3.1 release has been the significant
35 slowdowns of the distfile mirrors for most Gentoo users. Additionally, due
36 to the increasing popularity of Gentoo, ibiblio (the main mirror provider
37 of Gentoo Linux distfiles) has been forced to divert much of the Gentoo
38 traffic onto a secondary 'relief' server. While this has helped to
39 distribute the load somewhat, the sheer number of Gentoo-releated requests
40 coming is maxing out the capacity of the server and causing http requests
41 to be queued. This can cause slowdowns and timeouts during emerges and has
42 also caused some problems on the Gentoo.org web site since many images are
43 sourced from ibiblio.
44
45 Work is being done to transfer web site images to another location which
46 should alleviate many of the broken images people have been seeing on
47 www.gentoo.org of late. As for the overall mirror slowness, users are
48 encouraged to find and use a mirror closest to them and be patient as the
49 KDE 3.1 tidal wave subsides.
50
51 Gentoo server migrations
52 ------------------------
53
54 One of the main Gentoo Linux servers is being retired and, as such, some
55 Gentoo services are being distributed to alternate servers.
56 bugs.gentoo.org has already been migrated over to the same server that
57 hosts forums.gentoo.org. Other services will be migrated as well over the
58 next few days. During this process, users may notice some glitches as the
59 DNS changes work their way around the net.

89 3. Featured Developer of the Week
90 =================================
91
92 Mark Guertin
93
94 This week's featured developer, Mark Guertin[7], is the senior development
95 manager for Gentoo PPC. He's in charge of coordinating the PPC development
96 team and keeping things together, as well as doing plenty of bug wrangling
97 and testing of PPC packages in an effort to get the best QA possible for
98 the PPC arch. Mark began using Gentoo when he heard that there was an
99 unofficial port to PPC. Jumping in two feet first, it wasn't long before
100 he started the #gentoo-ppc channel, built a site providing Gentoo PPC
101 binaries, and ended up becoming a developer. Alongside five x86 machines
102 running everything from Gentoo to Windows XP, Mark is running seven PPC
103 boxen (mostly Gentoo except a few holdouts on a version of Slackware he
104 ported to PPC long ago), including some arcane dual, and even
105 quad-processor boxen, but his PPC mania doesn't end there: Mark has
106 recently made some changes to yabootconfig, an automatic configurator for
107 the Yaboot[8] boot manager for PPC, allowing it to autodetect and setup
108 even triple-boot with Mac OS 9, OS X, and Linux, and has also been, for
109 several years, hosting and maintaining the build machines for
110 ppckernel.org[9], a site that builds binary kernels from several PPC
111 trees, tailoring some for specific hardware configurations, using an
112 automated kernel build system (gkb - the GNU kernel builder, written by a
113 friend of his). Mark also wrote Xeasyconf[10], an automatic configurator
114 for X in PPC written specifically for Gentoo PPC but usable with other
115 distros too. One of his favorite applications at the moment is
116 kio-fish[11], a flexible kio-slave that, given shell access and some
117 standard UNIX commands, allows you to access a remote filesystem as if it
118 were local.

125
126 A resident of Toronto, ON in Canada, Mark works as an IT manager and
127 database programmer for a graphics printing/design house during the day,
128 and as the lead developer of Cartwise[12], a highly successful B2B
129 e-commerce suite. When he's not hacking away at something, Mark has a 100%
130 digital computerized home recording studio with which he enjoys writing,
131 performing, producing, and engineering music. You can hear some of Mark's
132 music here[13].

144 Gentoo Artwork, Anyone? - Post Your Requests...
145
146 It started rather innocuosly, with a single guy called port001[14] just
147 wanting to try out a few visual effects. Then he got ahead of himself and
148 offered everyone the possibility to request an icon for their favourite
149 application. Within a week, the designer posse has grown to eight
150 Gentooists with a predilection for pretty knobs, and between them they've
151 already created one of the biggest collections of buttons for window
152 managers around. And just in case your software isn't represented yet, you
153 can request it at the same thread, or just grab the Photoshop or Gimp
154 template and do it yourself. And why stop when it's beginning to make
155 sense: Congratulations to the creation of the Gentoo Environment Agency:

166 Tricky Laptops
167
168 When it comes to mobile computing, Windows users are to be envied. Not
169 only do they get their portable computers with an operating system
170 preinstalled, no: the laptop manufacturers also do everything in their
171 might to make the hardware actually comply with said operating system.
172 Meanwhile, back in the jungle, Linux users have to post caveats and
173 warnings all over the place to prevent worse things from happening during
174 their installation attempts. Latest example documented in the forums:
175 power management in the 1.4 LiveCD kernel that does very bad things to HP

183
184 On mailing lists and newsgroups, it's rare to find people who answer to
185 threads that went silent months ago. But in the forums, occasionally a
186 threads just needs to mature for a few months, and then suddenly someone
187 will pick it up, post a few additions and make it all the more useful.
188 Here's a perl script for building packages you can grab and install on a
189 less powerful machine or replicate across your network:

196 rac[20] posted an announcement that sent shivers down the spines of a few
197 people who thought that phpBB had finally revealed some terminal flaws.
198 Fear nothing, it's just bugs.gentoo.org[21] that is now being hosted on
199 the same machine as the forums. This looks like the perfect occasion to
200 remind people to search for prior occurrences of their own problem. And
201 best try searching both the forums and the particularly fine assortment of
202 bugs in Gentoo at the sister-site. Unless you don't mind becoming a target
203 of the dreaded "Spot the dup" thread, that is:

216 Mirror, Mirror on the wall...
217
218 ... who's the fastest one of them all? With the onset of KDE 3.1 final,
219 ibiblio.org's pipes appeared clogged with Gentoo users scrambling to grab
220 the latest sources. Two threads were spawned on gentoo-user complaining of
221 decreased download speeds and requesting alternatives. Adam Mercer
222 noted[24] the existence of GENTOO_MIRRORS variable in /etc/make.conf along
223 with the page http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml[25] to aid you in
224 selecting a preferred mirror, and avoiding the 'flakiness' of ibiblio.org.

229 There's more than one kind of Java
230
231 Tom Eastman wrote that he has exclusively used Sun's JDK for all things
232 Java. After becoming a Gentoo'er, he didn't miss the fact that his system
233 relies on Blackdown's JDK by default. This of course raised the
234 interesting question, which is better? Ben Ricker's response[26] pointed
235 us in the direction of good benchmarks located at
236 http://www.volano.com/benchmarks.html.[27] In short, it depends on what
237 Java is being used for and that all the JVMs will suffice for 'general
238 desktop' usage.

247
248 Emiel Kollof writes[28]: "Why is it, when I unmask a package (with a
249 higher version number than the "official one") by using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS,
250 portage downgrades it on the next emerge -u world to a lower version? This
251 is very irritating behaviour. Can it be turned off or disabled somehow?".
252 Caleb answered[29] with a solution and J Robert Ray pointed to a patch[30]
253 in bugzilla to add just that functionality.

259 Follow-up: Methods for managing etc files
260
261 Jeff Kowing says[31]: "Having seen my name mentioned in the bright lights
262 of GWN[...] I was inspired to add an auto update feature to etc-update. It
263 works by saving md5sums before you do a big emerge. After a big emerge, it
264 uses those md5sums to determine which config files you have personally
265 modified. Those you have never modified will be auto updated." See
266 Bugzilla Bug 14666[32].

282 Unofficial European Gentoo Websites (cont'd)
283
284 Ever since Enrico Morelli started Gentoo's Italian web outpost on 1 May
285 2002, he is getting help from two friends. The three of them maintain the
286 one European Gentoo website the GWN managed to overlook last week:
287 gentoo.it... A system administrator by day, Enrico has put Gentoo on every
288 single piece of hardware he could lay hands on at work. Not that anybody
289 in his department at the University of Florence would have been surprised
290 about that, since he also was the person to introduce Linux in the
291 Magnetic Resonance Center in the first place, some ten years ago. Now
292 everything and the kitchen sink have Gentoo installed on them, including
293 the institute's mail server, several workstations and an entire
294 Mosix-cluster. The gentoo.it server still has its three admins, and it
295 appears they're in contact with more volunteers, but sadly, the server
296 suffers from slow connections and rigid conditions for Internet
297 provisioning at its present location. If anyone knows where to host
298 cheaply in Italy, has a spare server that could accomodate a PHP-driven
299 forum or a mailing list, or maybe would like to help the Italian Gentoo
300 community via contributions to their excellent documentation and security
301 alert website, contact gentoo-dev@××××××.it.

459 8. Tips and Tricks
460 ==================
461
462 Setting Your Terminal Title
463
464 Since most Gentoo users frequently use terminals (xterm, Eterm, etc.),
465 this week's tip shows how to make them more useful by adding information
466 to the title. We can add the username, hostname, and working directory
467 into the terminal title, making it easier to see where a terminal is,
468 especially if it is minimized. Instead of having to open up the full
469 terminal window, a quick glance at the taskbar is all that's necessary.
470
471 If you use Bash, add the following to your ~/.bashrc file.
472 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
473 | Code Listing 8.1: ~/.bashrc |
474 |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
475 | |
476 |SHORT_HOST=`hostname -s` |
477 | |
478 |if [ "$SHELL" = '/bin/bash' ] || [ "$SHELL" = '/bin/sh' ] |
479 |then |
480 | case $TERM in |
481 | rxvt|*term) |
482 | PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${SHORT_HOST}: \ |
483 | ${PWD}\007"' |
484 | ;; |
485 | esac |
486 |fi |
487 | |
488 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
489
490 If you use Zsh, add the following to your ~/.zshrc file. Zsh users can see
491 the current directory if at a prompt, or any commands if a program is
492 running.
493 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
494 | Code Listing 8.1: ~/.zshrc |
495 |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
496 | |
497 |if [ "$SHELL" = '/bin/zsh' ] |
498 |then |
499 | case $TERM in |
500 | rxvt|*term) |
501 | precmd() { print -Pn "\e]0;%n@%m - %~\a" } |
502 | preexec () { print -Pn "\e]0;%n@%m - $1\a" } |
503 | ;; |
504 | esac |
505 |fi |
506 | |
507 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

510 The idea for this weeks tip came from the Gentoo Forums[54]. This
511 functionality has also made its way into /etc/skel/.bashrc, so many user
512 accounts may have this information in their .bashrc files already.
