As an update to the previous Toot! I have made a blogpost about which package is included in my binary-host: https://blog.gjdwebserver.nl/ords/f?p=107:HOME:::::ARTICLE:gjdwebserver-binaryhost-packages I've updated the readme of my overlay as-well with this information: https://git.gjdwebserver.nl/gjdwebserver/gjdwebserver-overlay. This would make it easier for everyone using @gentoo on a @PINE64 PinePhone Pro. So you don't have to waste heat and time compiling while still having the most optimised Linux on your PinePhone Pro. #foss #pine64 #pinephone #linux #gentoo

Gentoo and NetBSD ban 'AI' code, but Debian doesn't – yet

The problem isn't just that LLM-bot generated code is bad – it's where it came from.

🧵 …although I tend to favour OpenBSD and Linux for personal reasons, I find this decision OK. Certain open source projects lack clear, reasoned positions and decisions.

»NetBSD’s New Policy – No Place for AI-Created Code:
NetBSD bans AI-generated code to preserve clear copyright and meet licensing goals.«

Technicznie rzecz biorąc, sporą część pracy związaniem z portowaniem paczek do Pythona 3.13 można zautomatyzować. W gruncie rzeczy, mamy już większość potrzebnych elementów — narzędzia, by znaleźć potencjalne paczki, zaktualizować PYTHON_COMPAT, uruchomić testy. Dlaczego więc robię to na wpół ręcznie?

Po pierwsze, daje mi to okazję, by zajrzeć w ebuildy. Mogę poszukać starych problemów, poprawić kod, czasem odkryć paczki, które powinniśmy byli usunąć dawno temu. Po drugie, patrząc na logi czasem mogę zauważyć, że testy gdzieś nie działają poprawnie (a w szczególności przypadek, że paczka nie zwraca błędu, kiedy testy nie przechodzą).

No i koniec końców, daje mi jakieś poczucie wartości, kiedy przez tę przeklętą gorączkę nie mogę się na niczym skupić.

We love encouraging others to try out and package our tools.

We'd love for librecast to be in so we've submitted a request for the e-builds for liblibrecast, lcrq and lcsync to be packaged for gentoo.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/931672

It's now in the list of packages that would like a maintainer.

Nice to see and catching up with which has had a

"Microsoft co-pilot laundered code is not accepted in this project"

for a long time. Possibly I need to generalize the rule these days.

Wiemy już, że wielu autorów oprogramowania jest wrogo nastawionych do testowania przez dystrybucje.

Co jednak powiecie na to, by zaszyfrować testy tak, by tylko CI było w stanie je uruchomić?

@mgorny Wut. Ależ to jest dziwne, ich repo z testami brzmi jakby twierdziło że to ze względu na to że nie wiedzą skąd się ich dane do testów oryginalnie wzięły (chyba?) i to wygląda jakby chcieli w ten sposób obejść ich licencjonowanie? Bardzo konfundujące. :blobfoxconfused:

mgorny,
@mgorny@pol.social avatar

@timorl, owszem, dziwne. Ja to czytam tak, że oryginalnie odziedziczyli te zaszyfrowane testy, a teraz starają się zrobić nowe, publiczne, ale też mają wątpliwą licencję.

Soo… say I have a couple ebuilds that are probably not great quality (approximately first ones I wrote), but work. How should I go about making these useful for other people? Perhaps even including them in the main gentoo repo? This is mostly about Request Tracker, which already is in the repo, albeit in an old version (and with a wrong makefile patch), plus some of it’s dependencies (some of which I updated, some that never were in the main repo).

I think the Guru repo might be a better place.

timorl,
@timorl@social.wuatek.is avatar

@ScottE Unfortunetely, rule 11:

The primary purpose of GURU is to maintain packages not present in the Gentoo repository. Forking (overriding) actively maintained Gentoo packages into GURU is prohibited. If the package is moved to Gentoo, it should be removed from GURU.

And www-apps/rt is already in the main gentoo repo, so I’m not allowed to put that there. :blobfoxcry2:

@Ryan for running a dekstop system OpenRC requires a bit more configuration than a systemd install, but it's usable and shouldn't pose too many issues

My testing tries to install snapd.
Can I see or again? I do not want Canonical® snapd™.

Bad enough that libpipewire-0.3-modules (version 1.0.5-1) has a dependency to libsnapd-glib-2-1. :puke:

@txt_file Didn't you know, to build software you absolutely need npm, cargo, nuget, pip, .... and MAKE SURE to always specify EXACT VERSIONS, you can easily deploy all that stuff with snap, appimage, flatpak, or better play it safe and just deploy docker images!!!!

@oddly@toot.re avatar

question; what is the best way to share a small improvement on an ebuild in the Guru repo? Asking to become a contributor sounds like overkill, with getting PGP working and all.

Would it be best to just create my own repo and add it to the list so it can be discovered?

@gentoo

(The improvement is making iio-sensor-proxy work on openRC by implementing a fix I found on the forums. Not that impressive, though now my Chromebook runs perfectly :))

@ferki thanks! I'm going to tinker with this over the weekend.

ferki,
@ferki@fosstodon.org avatar

@oddly Sounds great!

Thinking more about it, bugzilla may work a lot better for sending patches because:

  • the gentoo/guru repo on GitHub is only a mirror of the real repo, so merging pull requests there won't work directly
  • even if that would work, GURU maintainers in general don't have permissions to merge stuff inside the gentoo organization on GitHub

At the same time, bugzilla tickets are assigned directly to the maintainer of the ebuild in question.

, the “syntax-aware linter for prose built with speed and extensibility in mind”, has a new v3.4.2 release.

My overlay already makes it available for fellow users. I also contributed the same ebuild to the official Gentoo GURU overlay.

See my post for links: https://blog.ferki.it/2024/05/01/packaging-vale-3-4-2-for-gentoo/

Happy hacking!

, “a simple terminal implementation for X”, has a new 0.9.2 release.

My overlay already makes it available for fellow users. I also opened PR#36534 in the official Gentoo ebuild repository as proxied maintainer.

See my post for links: https://blog.ferki.it/2024/05/03/packaging-st-0-9-2-for-gentoo/

I'm going to host an online workshop for the Gentoo e.V. on 2024-06-15 about how to "Host Gentoo dependency tarballs as GitHub releases".

I'll show how to use GitHub for dependency tarballs as an external , such as a proxied maintainer, a GURU committer, or an overlay .

I use this approach to package software, and it can be applied to other similar situations, or even automated through local scripts or GitHub Actions.

If you are impatient to learn about the approach, I blogged about it earlier at https://blog.ferki.it/2023/04/24/host-gentoo-dependency-tarballs-as-github-releases/

It's Alive! On an old I3 it took about 48 hours to get everything done all from source. Took another 6 hours to get audio working but that was me being dumb. Now I don't want to use anything else.

@gabrielesvelto did you upgrade to 23? How did that go?

gabrielesvelto,
@gabrielesvelto@fosstodon.org avatar

@ko4fzg I did and using binary packages no less. I hit a couple of snags because not all packages were ready to work on split-usr profiles, but they were all promptly fixed after I reported them. I'd say that it should go pretty smoothly now.
