OpenIndiana 151a

Monday, October 10th, 2011

I’ve been having some problems with the OpenIndiana oi_148 to oi_151a update, but only on one virtual machine in particular. Until today i’ve been stuck, until I thought to:

pkg set-publisher --non-sticky opensolaris.org

After that, the image-update went fine. I need to learn more of the options for pkg, apparently. I had skipped that before because my other OI machines did not have that non-sticky option set, and the upgrade worked there.

python and perl USE flag change

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

Today, I had to enable python and perl USE flags globally in /etc/make.conf. I guess Gentoo changed the default setting for these flags. Personally I like having the kind of built-in tools and scripts that these provide, so I turned them on. Plus, enabling these flags avoided having to rebuild dozens of ebuilds (I have a lot of stuff installed).

I can understand why the Gentoo devs did it (most people don’t need perl/python/ruby support embedded in Vim, for example), but I’m beginning to think there’s no way for me to keep up with changes, or if there is, I totally missed it, so everytime this changes I’ll be looking at Bugzilla and the Forums. Maybe there’s a way I can track these kind of USE flag changes on my own system, in a more obvious way then the output from eix-sync. I’ll have to look into it.

Gentoo poppler 0.16.7 build error

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

This is a gentoo problem I hadn’t seen before:

Turns out, I needed to build with “-introspection” in order to build it again with “introspection”. Or maybe I could just globally disable introspection, but not sure what that would change, it looks like a Gnome thing. As usual I ended up with lots of Gnome and KDE installed, and really I still just use Enlightenment everywhere. If it wasn’t Enlightenment, it would be Windowmaker or something similar.
