Two small things that I don't know for sure: |
2 |
|
3 |
| Warning: Using any shell besides bash is currenly unsupported and most |
4 |
| likely won't work. You should change your default shell in Terminal by |
5 |
| clicking on Terminal->Preferences (in the menu bar), chosing the |
6 |
| "Execute this command" option, and entering /bin/bash. |
7 |
|
8 |
How likely is this? Of course I ignored this warning when installing my |
9 |
Gentoo, because I feel hopelessly lost in bash. On the one hand, is it |
10 |
known what causes trouble? and on the other hand, considering the |
11 |
default shell is bash from 10.3 (at least 10.4) also for the root |
12 |
account, and everything is done using "sudo su", how likely is it the |
13 |
user will use a different shell for the root user than the system |
14 |
provided one? On top of this, whenever the whole emerge system is |
15 |
getting into action a bash shell is forked from python I think, so what |
16 |
relevance is the parent shell to that? |
17 |
|
18 |
| Note: With each emerge --sync, the /usr/portage directory is wiped of |
19 |
| any user changes. Be sure to keep a log of your development efforts |
20 |
| and report your findings to the Gentoo for Mac OS X team. |
21 |
|
22 |
Ehm, is this really true? I vaguely remember in my first days doing |
23 |
this thinking a sync would wipe out my mess, then coming to the |
24 |
conclusion it didn't. I don't know exactly how rsync is being called, |
25 |
but if a file is newer on the target host, than on the server, is it |
26 |
overwritten? I thought rsync is able to optimise by only beaming over |
27 |
the changed files on the server side, preventing copying all of the |
28 |
files (550MB currently). Somebody slap me with the man page and the |
29 |
massive number of options supplied to rsync when running emerge sync if |
30 |
I see ghosts here... |
