repo2According to the September gentoo newsletter, it’s time to replace tetex with texlive (whatever! :P).
WARNING: Unmerging tetex apparently killed my ability to spawn a new xterm?! Make sure you keep one (or more) running and do all this in one step! After completion, spawning xterms worked again.
emerge --unmerge -av tetex
rm /etc/texmf/texmf.d/00texmf.cnf
find /usr/bin -type l ! -xtype f ! -xtype d -ok rm -f {} \;
rm -rf /var/lib/texmf/web2c
emerge -Davu texlive
(33 packages - partly because of my previous FF3 unmasks...)I’m getting pretty annoyed at this process… currently unmasked in [package.keywords]:
# === Unmask Firefox 3 ===
# MDM 08/08/08 FF3 is currently masked ...
# FF2 is KILLING my little machine...
# ...and deps - stable epiphany keeps reinstalling FF2...
# Ack,this won't work - epiphany requires all of *gnome* to be unmasked.
# Have to put up with broken [emerge world] or wait for stable FF3.

# ======= end FF3 =======I want to plug my 8GB-SDHC-card-in-a-USB-adapter in, and immediately be able to add and remove files to it. With a little digging in, I got the job done. This is going to make my life a LOT easier. Now I can trigger any action I want for every single device I plug in to my boxxen. Sweetness.
I use gentoo, but this should apply to any modern linux distribution. With a less hands-on distribution like Ubuntu, everything should be already done for you, but you still might want to dig in here to see what’s going on under the hood. Also, there’s a LOT of outdated material out there, as this stuff has been hammered out over the years. So without further ado, here’s an up-to-date summary to get you up to speed fast:
Added [subversion] to make.conf. gentoo tracks this flag on the git package to determine whether to install git-svn or not. I can’t imagine anywhere that I wouldn’t want svn support, so I made it global.
