Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Further to the request on the Gentoo forums (in the thread at |
| 4 |
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=11654), I'm glad to report |
| 5 |
several ebuilds that have worked fine for me with Gentoo on my iBook. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The working builds are: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-r2.ebuild |
| 10 |
net-misc/x11-ssh-askpass/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.2-r1.ebuild |
| 11 |
net-www/mozilla-firebird/mozilla-firebird-0.6-r6.ebuild |
| 12 |
x11-misc/xtoolwait/xtoolwait-1.3.ebuild |
| 13 |
x11-plugins/wmtz/wmtz-0.7.ebuild |
| 14 |
x11-plugins/wmweather/wmweather-2.4.0.ebuild |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The first three have ~ppc in the keywords, the last three don't have ppc |
| 17 |
at all in the keywords. All six ebuilds have yielded programs that work |
| 18 |
exactly as expected (and exactly as they do on another Gentoo |
| 19 |
installation of mine, on an x86 machine). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If it matters, I installed from the 1.4_rc7 live CD a few weeks ago, on |
| 22 |
a new 800 MHz iBook, now dual-booting with OS X 10.2.6. I'm using the |
| 23 |
'benh' kernel sources, having had initial problems with sleep and with |
| 24 |
getting mol to run with the plain 'ppc-sources'. And, I'm happy to |
| 25 |
report that everything works -- pmud, X, airport card, sound (with |
| 26 |
alsa), mol, etc. The only thing that needed any kind of workaround was |
| 27 |
sound -- volume with alsa was extremely low, but I received a suggestion |
| 28 |
in one of the forums to load and unload the dmasound_pmac module before |
| 29 |
loading the alsa modules, and that's solved the problem completely. |

Many thanks for all the great work by the Gentoo developers! |

Cheers, |
