Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog: Another report from rarely updated system
http://phajdan-jr.blogspot.com/2012/09/another-report-from-rarely-updated.html
Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog. September 4, 2012. Another report from rarely updated system. This is another (second) post about updating a system I rarely updated. If you're interested, read the first post. I recommend more frequent updates, but I also want to show that it's possible to update without re-installing, and how to solve common problems. Timestamp of tree: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:45:01 0000. First I updated portage:. Ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.9 [2.1.10.49]. Eselect news read new. Blocks B ] x...

Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog: Another 5-month update
http://phajdan-jr.blogspot.com/2011/10/another-5-month-update.html
Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog. December 6, 2011. I have one system that I rarely update (it's not the best idea, but it allows me to write a blog post from time to time), so I wanted to show you again that it's possible to update without re-installing, and that everything is solvable and logical unless you have a very complicated setup. The commands might seem more complicated than "apt-get dist-upgrade", but remember Gentoo gives you much greater flexibility (USE flags, kernel versions, backporting, etc, etc).

Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog. March 5, 2015. More reliable handling of bash history across terminals and crashes. I've been occasionally hitting frustrating issues with bash history getting lost after a crash. Then I found this great blog post about keeping bash history in sync on disk and between multiple terminals. Tl;dr is to use "shopt -s histappend" and PROMPT COMMAND="${PROMPT COMMAND};history -a". I'm happy to announce that both are now default in Gentoo! Please see bug #517342.

Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog. April 11, 2015. Tricks for resolving slot conflicts and blockers. Slot conflicts can be annoying. Its worse when an attempt to fix them leads to an even bigger mess. I hope this post helps you with some cases - and that portage will keep getting smarter about resolving them automatically. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This is my personal blog. Everything written here represents my own opinion. When the libraries you use are moving too fast. Third party libraries in Chromium sources.

Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog. April 15, 2013. Best articles about Blink rendering engine according to me. It is now over a week since announcement of Blink. A rendering engine for the Chromium project. I hope it could be useful to provide links to the best articles about it, which have good, technical contents. Peter-Paul Koch (probably best known for quirksmode.org) has good articles about Blink: Blink. I also found it interesting to ready Krzysztof Kowalczyk's Thoughts on Blink. Made possible by Blink.

Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog: Can your distro compile Chromium?
http://phajdan-jr.blogspot.com/2014/08/can-your-distro-compile-chromium.html
Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog. August 7, 2014. Can your distro compile Chromium? Chromium is moving towards using C 11. Even more, it's going to require either gcc-4.8 or clang. Distros like Ubuntu, Mageia, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, CentOS, and Slackware are already using gcc-4.8 or later is their latest stable release. On the other hand, Debian Wheezy (7.0) has gcc-4.7.2. Gentoo is using gcc-4.7.3 in stable. I started a thread on gentoo-dev, gcc-4.8 may be needed in stable for www-client/chromium-38.x. I think ...

Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog. July 19, 2014. Recovering from removed libgcc s.so.1 (and missing busybox). I was experimenting in my arm chroot, and after a gcc upgrade and emerge - depclean - ask that removed the old gcc I got the following error:. Ls: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Fortunately the newer working gcc was present, so the steps to make things work again were:. Gcc-config: Active gcc profile is invalid! Perl-cleaner ...

Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog. December 4, 2013. Testers wanted: Aura in Chromium Dev channel (33.x). If you're using hard masked www-client/chromium dev channel packages (currently at version 33.x) you're probably used to testing things and encountering breakages from time to time. Aura is a new UI architecture which is GPU accelerated. You can read about the technical details in its documentation. Finally, see the screenshots below for an idea how it looks like (click thumbnails to see original images):.

Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog: perl-cleaner slot conflict when upgrading perl (5.16 -> 5.18)
http://phajdan-jr.blogspot.com/2014/06/perl-cleaner-slot-conflict-when.html
Paweł Hajdan's Dev Blog. June 1, 2014. Perl-cleaner slot conflict when upgrading perl (5.16 - 5.18). If you tried upgrading from stable amd64 to amd64 or otherwise done a big update of perl, you probably hit this weird perl-cleaner slot conflict:. Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled. Into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:. Dev-lang/perl-5.18.2:0/5.18: gentoo, installed) pulled in by. And 7 more with the same problems). This is bug #506616. Make[1]: *...
