Hello everyone... just wanted to drop a note here about the procedures to |
| 2 |
follow when finding a bug in Gentoo PPC...following this procedure will |
| 3 |
greatly help us to remedy things quicker and not have to ask silly questions |
| 4 |
after the fact (hopefully) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1) make sure you are running current portage (emerge rsync and try again |
| 7 |
first of all).. things move fast in Gentoo and the PPC tree especially right |
| 8 |
now |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2) rm -rf /var/cache/edb/deps/* and try again (sometimes old deps get left |
| 11 |
there and cause problems) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
3) if the problem still exists please file a bug report on bugs.gentoo.org |
| 14 |
(after searching if the bug already exists that is), following the bug |
| 15 |
reporting guidelines laid out on that site (similar to what I've just posted |
| 16 |
here). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
4) Be Verbose!! Bugs like "this pkg is broken when I try to install it" is |
| 19 |
just not helpful. Any information that may be relevant about your setup, your |
| 20 |
USE settings, your machine configuration and kernel version, etc are |
| 21 |
extremely helpful |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
5) if making an attachment on bugs, please read how to do it (have gotten |
| 24 |
several attachments lately that were difficult to extract) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
6) you can check in on IRC at irc.openprojects.net in #gentoo-ppc ... most |
| 27 |
times someone is around that might know what's going on icon_smile.gif |
| 28 |

Thanks everyone for helping to make Gentoo PPC the best distro possible and |
| 30 |
happy Gentoo'ing all |
