Recent releases


Release Notes: portage has been updated to 2.1_rc4, and debianutils to 2.15. The --maketgz* options have been dropped. A bug has been fixed in the --skipit option. It is advised to update to this version, because the new Gentoo's portage is not compatible with the old ones.


Release Notes: The portage was updated to portage 2.1_pre3. Updating is recommended because the new Gentoo's portage isn't compatible with the old ones.


Release Notes: A Sync-cat script that lets you sync a single category or package with the Gentoo repository was added. runscript.sh was patched to handle net dependecies at boot by rc.emerde. A --pasive option was added to auto-install.sh to select FTP passive mode. /etc/init.d/runscript.sh is no longer launched from rc.emerde.


Release Notes: A MIRROR option was added in auto-install.sh. A name bug was fixed in por2pkg and in --maketgz. An rsync installation bug and other small bugs were fixed and the code was cleaned up.

Emerde in SUSE.
hi, I tested on SUSE 9.1 Personal(upgrade to Pro by HTTP upgrade).
However I met this problem. It being told that Emerde works well on other RPM based Redhat and Mandrake,so I took risk to try on my SUSE. What's going on actually? SUSE use different style of grouping,which is username is not equal to group number, UID!=GID.
How to solve this matter?
portage: 'portage' user or group missing. Please update baselayout
and merge portage user(250) and group(250) into your passwd
and group files. Non-root compilation is disabled until then.
Also note that non-root/wheel users will need to be added to
the portage group to do portage commands.
For the defaults, line 1 goes into passwd, and 2 into group.

Bad joke
I am sorry to tell you that 'merde' in French means
'shit'
For every french people, your project name sounds
like eshit, which is rather unfortunate.
