Ok, it's about 2:45 AM, I thoughtlessly did something absurdly risky, |
| 2 |
resize a chromium browser pane by clicking on the edge of the window and |
| 3 |
dragging it a few pixels, so naturally X11 goes down taking my number |
| 4 |
theory code with it. Reminder: I had run that code from May 1 through |
| 5 |
last week and only voluntarily rebooted my machine.... |

So I decided to do an emergency system update and reboot the damn thing |
| 20 |
completely and hopefully things would get a little better. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
In this state, my frame of mind was to just keep hitting the damn thing |
| 23 |
with the heaviest, bluntest object I could get my hands on until I got |
| 24 |
it to work and I could go to bed... I gave up at 4:15 am... My goal is a |
| 25 |
3 AM bed time... Basically I was being fast and ruthless with emerge |
| 26 |
--unmerge, clearing useflags, masking crap, etc... I did not do anything |
| 27 |
I regret today but still... |
| 28 |
|

(also, the goddamned fake indian recruiters who only try to get you to |
| 30 |
agree to let them represent you in your job negotiations with some |
| 31 |
random company in some random state had called me ten times that day, |
| 32 |
and another 7 times today for that matter... I found that if I emphasize |
| 33 |
that I'm on the virge of a nervous breakdown they might, reluctantly |
| 34 |
remove me from their database but usually they just laugh...) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I've spent a whole day wrestling with it at this point. |

CHROMIUM WILL NOT LOAD AT ALL. It fails a good 30 minutes into the |
| 39 |
build, the packages involved are quite archane... Ninja?!?!?! V8?!?!?!? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
My theory about chromium is that the release frequency seems to be |
| 42 |
faster than the time it actually takes to build the thing. I think they |
| 43 |
do this to avoid bug reports as they will be ten versions further on by |
| 44 |
the time any actual bug reports make it back upstream... The only way |
| 45 |
this could be possible is to run builds across maybe a dozen machines |
| 46 |
in a datacenter, starting a new build every 30 minutes and then |
| 47 |
releasing the ones that complete... |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
KDE is similar, in that the releases are much more frequent than any |
| 50 |
conceivable development cycle for that number of packages. Many of which |
| 51 |
are probably being version bumped just for grins and giggles... Damnit |
| 52 |
guys, give it a rest until you've made stuff like Akregator actually |
| 53 |
work without crashing... |
