For some reason, the emerge of wordpress overwrote my wp-config.php. Fixed in two seconds since I keep all my config files under version control. Silly cvs diff command (makes you grateful for git’s use of the carat):
cvs log myfile
cvs diff -r 1.4 myfileNot really keeping this updated well enough… back to try again…
Encountered unrecognized option -a.
revdep-rebuild no longer automatically passes unrecognized options to portage.
Separate emerge-only options from revdep-rebuild options with the — flag.

Here’s the path I want to send X packets across:
[nightly] - corporatefirewall - internets - [server] - [desktop]The server only has what it needs to serve, which means no X server. I assumed that my X packets would just get merrily passed through when using [ssh -Y]. But the server didn’t have the [xauth] package installed – without it, you don’t get X authentication – in fact, all you do get is the extremely unhelpful error message “can’t open display”.
emerge -Davu xauth
(18 package installations, yikes!)Next I had to make sure that ssh allowed X packets, and allowed them over TCP. Edit [/etc/ssh/sshd_config]:
Match User m
X11Forwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yesOf course, I’m a bad person for doing this kind of insecure stuff. Silly me giving up security for usefulness. Oh well.

Compiz-fusion actually worked on ancient tdm2 (with intel video drivers). But the thing has been crawling lately, time to clean it up.
