... or which distribution to install during less than 4 days? |

Hi list, |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
as I wrote yesterday I planned to complete installation after work |
| 6 |
(started ``emerge --emptytree system'' in the morning). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
When I returned home from work I found in the logs, that ``emerge |
| 9 |
--emptytree system'' failed at package 28 of 186 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
python-fcksum-1.7.1 |
| 12 |
i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc ....bla...bla |
| 13 |
^ |
| 14 |
| |
| 15 |
+- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
gcc-config error: |
| 18 |
could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc" |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
My architecture is i686 and it seems that 27 packages before |
| 21 |
python-fchksum found the i686(that's SIX-eight-six)-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Could be my fault. I had set up ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to "~x86". |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Today in the morning I started up from scratch. That's about an hour of |
| 26 |
editing files, making file systems and so on, 1,5 hours of bootstrap.sh. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
``emerge -p --emptytree system'' showed me, that it will install |
| 29 |
python-fchksum with the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" too. So far, so good. |
| 30 |
Yesterday I got a portage snapshot 20050907, today I got a portage |
| 31 |
snapshot 20050908. Maybe the bug is fixed. So I started emerge system. |
| 32 |
At least it didn't install two versions of gcc. That saved some time. It |
| 33 |
ran 2,5 hours and ... |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
... kabooooom ... |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Unfortunately I can't tell you if the python-fchksum failure has gone |
| 38 |
away. I didn't reach this ebuild :( |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
automake-1.25-r3 |
| 41 |
autoconf-2.58 or better is required |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
That's package 24 of 186 (or so). |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Why the hell do we try to install x versions of autoconf and |
| 46 |
automake????? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
So my presumption for the time demand of a Gentoo installation looks |
| 49 |
like this. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
A breakage will occure every 15'th package (2 breakages during the first |
| 52 |
30 within 2 days). |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
That makes 15 days for a package amount something below 200. (BTW that's |
| 55 |
the time it took me to build a full featured LFS system.) |
| 56 |
New bugs will occur (I'm seeing this on this list "emerge -u world" |
| 57 |
broke this_and_tahat_or_something_else posts, and that for I left gentoo |
| 58 |
a year ago.). |
| 59 |
If bugs are removed twice as quick as new ones arise I'll need about ONE |
| 60 |
MONTH (!!!!!!!!) to get a running system. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
This "breaks" even the time demand of installation AND configuration of |
| 63 |
a 4 node IBM AIX HCMP cluster! |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
So which distribution would you suggest me to install during less than 4 |
| 66 |
days? I'm wondering about Slackware. |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
I've set up my USE flags to everything I'll want from the final system. |
| 69 |
There is a DVD burner so I included everything regarding to CD/DVD, all |
| 70 |
af the audio and video codecs, disabled kde and gnome (I'll never use |
| 71 |
this), enabled emacs (my favorite editor), bash-completion, xaw3d, all |
| 72 |
of the image formats and xinerama, disabled emboss (I don't have a clue |
| 73 |
why THIS is a default). There is a sound card so I enabled all audio |
| 74 |
related flags. I plan to install Oracle 9i on this machine, thus I |
| 75 |
enabled oracle. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Should I start to only disable the things I won't need for the ``emerge |
| 78 |
--emptytree sysrem'' and re-edit the USE flags afterward? Hmmm... this |
| 79 |
probably doesn't solve the automake problem and disabling python to |
| 80 |
solve the python-fchksum problem IMHO isn't a good idea because emerge |
| 81 |
and thus gentoo itself is python based. |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
I'd be glad for every hint. Waiting for fixage isn't an option. |
| 84 |
