[gentoo-dev] [rfc] Rendering the official Gentoo logo / Blender 2.04, Python 2.2

Hello! Gentoo's official logo originates from a Blender file [1] created by Daniel Robbis over 8 years ago. He used Blender 2.04 and Python 1.6 at that time. When rendering that .blend file with Blender 2.49b (or a more recent version), Blender does not apply the reflection texture needed [2] t

A little update from my side: I was abe to downgrade glibc to 2.12.2 and my sound problem [1] is now gone again! If it's not glibc itself, it's one of the packages re-installed after (again, see [1] for the list). If anyone considers masking glibc 2.13 for now: please take my vote. Best, Se
