Allerdings sind noch einige Kleinigkeiten nicht ganz perfekt:

Desweiteren  gibt es einige Bugs im schnellen nouveau-Treiber für die Grafikkarte, die beim langsameren nv-Treiber nicht auftreten.

Hier sind die wichtigsten Konfigurations-Dateien:

In order to find out that visualization is not the USE flag for it but exscalibar I had to google these use flags which were not active on my system before.

This made me think about the way Gentoo documents use flags. The file /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc or the online list is by far not complete. Is there an other ressource I am missing besides Gentoo-Portage.com which only list which ebuild is useing which USE flag?

My suggestion would be to add a list of use flags to the package detail page with a link to the Gentoo Wiki for every use flag (see example below). So everyone could contribute to the use flag description.

See a similar post about the lack of USE flag documentation.

Example

amarok 1.4_beta3-r2
Use Flags: aac arts debug exscalibar flac gstreamer ifp ipod kde musicbrainz mysql noamazon opengl postgres real visualization xinerama xmms

Installing wasn't that fluid, the bin/configure script was displayed as plain text.

But it's marked ~x86 so why blame the maintainer?

These are the steps which were required to get TWiki running for my setup.

edit bin/.htaccess to contain

Options +ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script

This made the configure script display. It complained about

Error: 'TWiki.pm' could not be loaded. The error was:

Can't locate TWiki.pm in @INC
(@INC contains: [...]

Error: Check path to twiki/lib and check that LocalSite.cfg is present and readable

Right. TWiki.pm was not readable by the webserver.

# la lib/TWiki.pm
-r--r----- 1 root root 112223 5. Apr 10:35 lib/TWiki.pm

So I chowned all files to the webserver:

# chown -R root:apache ./

configure also mentioned that it could not write the logfiles, so I gave the webserver write permissios to the data dir

find ./data | xargs chmod g+w

It's working

That's it pretty much. TWiki is now running here.

Actually I bought two, the second is for backup purposes. The reason: aquiring an IP address via dhcp took ages with the old one. And it saves 83% energy.
The change is complete after I finished setting up an own dns server, as the Allnet doesn’t provide one.

Finally I just had to change some hardcoded IPs in /etc as I have reorganized my IP layout.

find /etc/ -type f | grep -v config-archive | grep -v example | grep -v gconf | xargs grep -nHi –color 192.168.0

does the trick.

I want to mount that partition local and on other Gentoo PCs in my LAN via NFS. As I had issues with Konqueror displaying rapidly changing file transfer rates I tried different sync/async setting.

These turned out to be the best:

Tivo

/etc/fstab

/dev/hda5 /mnt/store vfat noatime,utf8,uid=65534,gid=100,dmask=0007,fmask=0117 0 0

Mount the partition as nobody:users, async is implied here.

/etc/exports

/mnt/store 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,all_squash,anonuid=65534,anongid=100,async,insecure)

Export as nobody:users with async flag.

Caull

/etc/fstab

tivo:/mnt/store /mnt/nfs/tivo/store nfs timeo=14,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp,sync 0 0

Mount with sync flag enabled.

This results in stable transfer rates at about 5 MB/s (write) and 10 MB/s (read) via a 100MBit LAN.

You have [n] unread important warning.” everytime you run emerge. The same way it does for updated config files.

I am not a fan of a announce mailing list. It’s like looking on the new ebuilds list [1]. It’s hard and boring to filter out the packages applying to your system(s). emerge is the right place to handle this.

Installing libgda now has less dependencies. So you just do a
$ emerge gnome-extra/libgda
$ pecl install dbdo-alpha
and you’re done.

Outdated:
Finally there seems now way around emerging libgda with all its dependencies [1].
$ emerge gnome-extra/libgda

To build libgda from source we need
$ emerge dev-util/gtk-doc gnome-base/gnome-common

After that get libgda from Gnome CVS [2].
$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome
$ cvs login
$ [enter]
$ cvs -z3 co libgda
$ cd libgda
$ ./autogen.sh && make && make install

Finally we will build DBDO-alpha [3]
$ pear install DBDO-alpha
Add the extension to /etc/php/*-php5/php.ini.
Done.
