I have been so happy with my gentoo boxes lately, having had zero problems for the past few months, and no itch to bump. I must have lucked out and hit a really stable spot in the ever-changing world of open source.<\/p>\n
But I don’t want to get too comfortable. Much longer and I probably won’t have a clean upgrade path. Besides, I think I smell something shiny out there somewhere… Seriously, I am looking forward to the latest XBMC changes. That software absolutely rocks.<\/p>\n
Here we go!<\/p>\n
Server first, since it’s the easiest (no X, no fancy video drivers, no UI apps).<\/p>\n
eix-sync\r\nemerge --unmerge iptraf #no longer maintained, use iptraf-ng\r\nemerge -Davu iptraf-ng\r\n# [emerge -Davu world] is complaining about php\r\n# php is now slotted to allow multiple versions\r\n# but we have to specify which one we want to use\r\n# edit \/etc\/make.conf, add [PHP_TARGETS=\"php5-3\"]\r\nemerge -Davu php \r\n# apache is borked\r\neselect php list apache2\r\n [1] php5.3\r\neselect php set apache2 1\r\n\/etc\/init.d\/apache2 restart\r\n# keep going with emerge before we dive into further problems\r\nemerge -Davu world<\/code><\/pre>\nThe following were broken by the updates, but mostly easily fixed:<\/p>\n
\n- mediawiki – fixed all sites by running update.php on each, whoop; also updated to vector skin, nice!<\/li>\n
- squirrelmail – v1.5 install got trashed by v1.4 overwrite, silly portage! But roundcube now has a sieve plugin, abandon squirrelmail<\/li>\n
- roundcube – config files got trashed. Pulled up old versions in cvs, diffed, fixed, yay for version control!<\/li>\n
- sitebar – this PHP code is old but pretty clean. required two fixes:\n
- disable call to ob_start(‘ob_gzhandler’) in [inc\/writers\/sitebar.inc.php] to allow it to load; log in and go to prefs; disable compression; re-enable call<\/li>\n
- convert useHandler($sbHandler = true) in [inc\/errorhandler.inc.php] to a static function to prevent PHP warning<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
All shiny and new, yay! Still need to bump kernel tho…<\/p>\n
Now for the desktop machine…<\/p>\n
# edit \/etc\/make.conf, add [PHP_TARGETS=\"php5-3\"]\r\neselect php set apache2 1\r\n# edit \/etc\/portage\/package.use, add:\r\ndev-libs\/libgpg-error static-libs\r\ndev-libs\/libgcrypt static-libs\r\nvirtual\/mysql embedded -static\r\ndev-db\/mysql embedded\r\nvirtual\/ffmpeg theora<\/code><\/pre>\nI’ve tried to take the advice to “avoid static except where really needed.”<\/p>\n
Looks like one package has to go for now…<\/p>\n
!!! The following installed packages are masked:\r\n- media-sound\/mixxx-1.7.2-r2 (masked by: package.mask)\r\n\/usr\/portage\/profiles\/package.mask:\r\n# Samuli Suominen (22 Mar 2011)\r\n# Masked for removal wrt bug 310821, Comment #61.\r\n# The new versions of mixxx require portmidi, bug 90614.\r\n# Portmidi doesn't have a sane build system and is therefore\r\n# not ready for inclusion in Portage.\r\n# Removal in about 30 days.\r\n\r\nemerge --unmerge mixxx<\/code><\/pre>\nAnd on with the emerge…<\/p>\n
