it seems ivtv needs a newer kernel than the one I am currently using; it

Hi folks,
I am compiling OOO 2.0.4 currently and am somehow surprised. Checking the
ebuild shows that it still sets JOBS="1" but it *does* use distcc in my
setup. At least parts of OOO are compiled on another box. It never did that
before. Did I misread the ebuild?
Anyway, a positive surprise.

Hi folks,
all drupal ebuilds have been package masked it seems on the 9th of September.
The emerge output refers to bug #98524. I looked it up and it seems to be a

Curious about yet another possible CMS vulnerability, I searched the gentoo
forums and google for it.

Hi folks,
revdep-rebuild produces a long list of binaries to be rebuilt. Not wuite

doesn't tell me which binary. Bummer! How do I find out?
