Hi, after making a stage 4-backup i tried to test gcc 4.02 with glibc-2.3.5.20050722, but i got certain errors compiling kde3.5 beta2. So i restored from stage4-backup, but now: Every time i emerge a package (yesterday tried 'emerge portage') the package compiles correctly, but after that all pa

2005-10-30 Thread Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò
Okay another package that we're shortening life's. Why that? Well divx4linux is masked since 21 october, enough time to know that is going to be removed. It's also broken for recent x86 architectures, and it's x86 only. All the useflags divx4linux are going to fade away, so you'll probably want

I've p.masked dev-libs/publib and it's pending removal in a week from now if nobody says anything. This library was added in 2002 but seems like nothing is actually making use of it anyway. Some of the functions are broken. There's no more an active upstream, and the Debian patches we're using

2005-10-30 Thread Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò
I've p.masked media-sound/daapd and it's pending removal in a week from now if nobody says anything. The reason of this is that it seems to cause crashes in iTunes 6 clients (see bug #109490), and it's dead upstream. Instead of this, you can use mt-daapd that is actively maintained by upstream,
