Gentoo updated the way Java is configured. To fix it up I did this:

emerge -C java-config
emerge -1 java-config:0 java-config:2
java-check-environment
java-config-1 --set-system-vm 1

I now have blackdown selected for 1.4, and sun for 1.6. Eclipse is working again.

Silly 8GB pci SD card jumped to a different /dev location. To track it down:

tail -f /var/log/messages
(insert USB stick/card/etc)
(you should get a [dev] location, mine looked like:)

emacs /etc/fstab
  # MDM sync is important so that changes are immediate - 
  # otherwise they won't happen until you unmount - 
  # ie you'll lose changes if you don't properly unmount.
  /dev/sdg1 /media/8gb_sdhc vfat auto,noatime,user,exec,sync 0 0
mount /media/8gb_sdhc

Eventually I should play with udev rules to better identify each device and mount to a specific location. See here.

Otherwise, apps like k3b won’t be able to access it. You have to log out/in after editing /etc/group.

Bumping up the gentoo-sources kernel from 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 to 2.6.25-gentoo-r7. [module-rebuild list] says to re-emerge [media-libs/svgalib], which I did. Be careful, I almost re-emerged while the old symlink was in place, which builds the wrong svgalib. Killed the build, bumped up the symlink, and re-emerged.

Also noticed that 7 config files needed bumping, mostly postfix-related. I don’t run a mail server on nightly, but be careful when you get around to updating the server! Especially this, which gets updated:

main.cf

Get new svn, make and install mythtv, make and install plugins/themes.
Updated build scripts to use QT4, exclude MythBrowser.
Had to remove old plugins to prevent segfault on startup.
See /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins, get rid of anything old.

In /etc/portage/package.keywords…

# MDM Newer mythtv w/QT4 needs qt-webkit for MythBrowser plugin.
# That means we need qt-4.4.1, but it's not ready yet.
# Revisit later...
