Gentoo Forums :: View topic - GF5: Masked Packages

Gentoo Forums :: View topic - GF5: Masked Packages: "GF5: What are masked packages? Packages that will not be installed on your system unless you take specific actions. A package may be masked by placing an entry in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask. Historically, this was the only way to mask packages. If you wish to install a package that is masked in package.mask, you will need to comment out the mask entry line for that package. Note that package.mask is overwritten by 'emerge sync', so your changes will not persist across a sync. Some workarounds for this can be found in emerge overwrites packages.mask. You can also mask problematic packages by adding entries to packages.mask."

DRI Driver Features

DRI Driver Features: "ATI Mach64 Both PCI and AGP cards are supported. The AGP mode may be set to 1 or 2. The driver supports 16- and 24-bit (32 bpp framebuffer) color depths, but 16-bit depth is recommended for the best performance. The maximum 3D accelerated resolution/mode may be limited by the size of on-card memory (especially for PCI cards). The following OpenGL features are implemented in software: * Accumulation buffer operations * Stencil operations * Blend subtract, min/max and logic op blend modes * glDrawBuffer(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK) * 1D and 3D textures * Texture borders * GL_BLEND texture environment mode * Texture environments which modulate alpha values (At*Af) are fallbacks or non-compliant (e.g. RGBA textures with MODULATE environment may be non-compliant when alpha blending). * Polygon, line and point smoothing (anti-aliasing) or stippling Other limitations: * Mipmaps are not supported. * Fog is disabled if alpha blending is enabled, but hardware accelerated when alpha blending is not enabled. Extensions which might be doable in hardware, but not currently implemented: * GL_EXT_paletted_texture - not sure about this, but the hardware seems to support a 2K texture palette in RGB 565. * GL_ARB_texture_compression - would need an extension to implement 4:1 VQ texture compression supported by the hardware. The following environment variables are available. Most are for debugging purposes only. * LIBGL_PERFORMANCE_BOXES - Display colored boxes to help identify bottlenecks. * MACH64_NO_IRQS - Do not use IRQs. * MACH64_DEBUG - Produces verbose debugging output. Accepts a comma separated list of parameters: 'all' OR 'sync,api,msg,lru,dri,ioctl,prims,count,nowait'. Of these, two affect driver behavior: 'sync' forces an idle wait at the end of each frame (buffer swap), and 'nowait' disables frame-rate throttling."

zopemafia - The Joy of RCS (Part One)

zopemafia - The Joy of RCS (Part One): "I'm sure many of you are familiar with CVS, the ubiquitous versioning system used by many an open-source project (Zope and Python included). CVS is based on RCS, a simple revision control system that can be extremely useful for managing all those text files you have lying around (on Unix at least). It can really make configuring *nix systems and tweaking them a good deal more stable and less scary."

SQLite: An Embeddable SQL Database Engine

SQLite: An Embeddable SQL Database Engine: "SQLite is a C library that implements an embeddable SQL database engine. Programs that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database access without running a separate RDBMS process. The distribution comes with a standalone command-line access program (sqlite) that can be used to administer an SQLite database and which serves as an example of how to use the SQLite library."

configuring XFS server

Fonts: "Red Hat Linux uses xfs (X Font Server) to provide fonts to the XFree86 server and the X client applications that connect to it. While it is possible to not use xfs and place the paths to font directories in your XF86Config and XF86Config-4 configuration files, xfs has several advantages: * It is easier to add and remove fonts, including editing the font path. The font path is a collection of paths in the file system where font files are stored. The xfs service keeps the font path out of the XFree86 configuration files, making it easier to edit. * Fonts may be stored on one machine acting as a networked font server and can be shared among multiple X servers over the network. A common set of fonts can be maintained in one place and easily shared between all users. * More types of fonts are supported. xfs can handle TrueType, Type1, and bitmap fonts. The XFree86 configuration files know whether to use xfs or hard coded font paths because of the FontPath setting in their Files sections. By default, the FontPath is set to unix/:7100. This tells the XFree86 server to connect to port 7100 using an inner-machine communication link. The xfs server listening on this port will respond with font information when queried by the XFree86 server."

dotProject.net

dotProject.net: "dotProject is a PHP web-based project management framework that includes modules for companies, projects, tasks (with Gantt charts), forums, files, calendar, contacts, tickets/helpdesk, multi-language support, user/module permissions and themes."

Explore2fs HomePage

Explore2fs HomePage: "Explore2fs, the WIN32 explorer for Linux ex2fs partitions written by John Newbigin Users of NT who have problems with partitions which are not detected can now use the Native IO feature of Explore2fs. This uses the partitions as identified by NT at boot time. This access is not available from the Win32 subsystem so Explore2fs can bypass Win32 and interface directly with the Native API."

spreadxmlrpclib: "- a python module to do XMLRPC over Spread (server and client)"

Introduction to Spread

Introduction to Spread: "Spread is a toolkit that provides a high performance messaging service that is resilient to faults across external or internal networks. Spread functions as a unified message bus for distributed applications, and provides highly tuned application-level multicast and group communication support. Spread services range from reliable message passing to fully ordered messages with delivery guarantees, even in case of computer failures and network partitions. Spread is designed to encapsulate the challenging aspects of asynchronous networks and enable the construction of scalable distributed applications, allowing application builders to focus on the differentiating components of their application."
