The only problem, my girlfriend lives far, far way 
Uma das coisas mais comuns no uso do gentoo, principalmente quando mistura pacotes estáveis, testings e unstables (como eu costumo fazer), é o downgrade de algum pacote para alguma versão anterior sem uma razão aparente, como o downgrade de uma versão estável para uma antiga versão.
Isso ocorreu comigo quando fui realizar um emerge -NDuav word:
hellboy ~ # emerge -NDuav world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies... done!
[ebuild UD] dev-util/bzr-1.1 [1.5] USE="bash-completion -curl -emacs -sftp -test" 3,346 kB
[ebuild U ] app-text/poppler-0.8.6 [0.8.5] USE="jpeg zlib -cjk" 1,435 kB
[ebuild U ] app-text/poppler-bindings-0.8.6 [0.8.5] USE="cairo gtk -qt3 -qt4 -test" 0 kB
Total: 3 packages (2 upgrades, 1 downgrade), Size of downloads: 4,781 kB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
Vejam o caso do bazaar (dev-util/bzr), mas acontece que a versão 1.5 é uma versão estável como aponta o eix:
hellboy ~ # eix dev-util/bzr
[I] dev-util/bzr
Available versions: 0.17 1.1 ~1.3 ~1.4 1.5 [M]~1.6_rc5 {bash-completion curl emacs sftp test}
Installed versions: 1.5(07:43:31 PM 08/23/2008)(bash-completion -curl -emacs -sftp -test)

Description: Bazaar is a next generation distributed version control system.
A razão deste comportamento é sempre por causa de algum pacote já instalado ou que vai ser instalado, eu acho que a maneira abaixo a mais simples para descobrir qual o pacote esta forçando o downgrade.
Primeiro eu mascaro o todas as versões abaixo da versão já instalada do programa que esta sendo forçado o downgrade, no caso, todas as versões do bazaar abaixo do 1.5.
sudo echo '<=dev-util/bzr-1.4' >> /etc/portage/package.mask
Feito isso, refaço o comando que originou o pedido de downgrade e vejo o resultado:
hellboy ~ # emerge -NDuav world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-util/bzr-1.1*" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-util/bzr-1.1 (masked by: package.mask)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "dev-util/bzrtools-1.1.0" [installed])
!!! Problem resolving dependencies for dev-util/bzrtools
!!! Depgraph creation failed.
Dai eu observo que o responsável pelo downgrade é o pacote dev-util/bzrtools, que consta com todas as versões consideradas como instáveis:
hellboy ~ # eix bzrtools
[I] dev-util/bzrtools
Available versions: ~0.17.1 (~)1.1.0 ~1.3.0 ~1.4.0 ~1.5.0
Installed versions: 1.1.0(02:34:38 AM 02/06/2008)
Homepage: http://bazaar.canonical.com/BzrTools
Description: bzrtools is a useful collection of utilities for bzr.
Como é um caso de pacotes instáveis, uma maneira seria apagar o pacote instável ou utilizar a keyword, como eu estou querendo aprender mais do bazaar, prefiro arriscar utilizar o pacote instável.
sudo echo '=dev-util/bzrtools-1.5.0 ~*' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
Com isso elimino a fonte do downgrade e refaço o meu comando sem medo de downgrades 
.
hellboy ~ # emerge -NDuav world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies... done!

You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver. You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don’t get stuck in bad thinking patterns. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual). |
As vezes é necessário copiar uma quantidade bizarra de arquivos, uma maneira simples de colocar em batch esta tarefa.
1 #!/bin/bash 2 3 device="hpaio:/usb/Photosmart_C3100_series?serial=BR73NGQ13X04KV"; 4 5 while true; 6 7 do if [[ -a stop_file ]]; 8 then break ; 9 fi; 10 11 echo "scanning" ; 12 name=`date +%s` ; 13 scanimage -d $device -p >$name.pnm; 14 15 convert $name.pnm $name.jpg; 16 rm $name.pnm; 17 18 echo "sleeping" ; 19 sleep 10s; 20 21 do if [[ -a stop_file ]]; 22 then break ; 23 fi; 24 25 done

Yes, tomorrow I’ll restart working at Brazil Telecom, as , again, security analyst.
But what I really want say is “I HATE HUMAN RESOURCES”, yes, beautiful girls that don’t know nothing trying hire someone for something that they don’t give a shit.
My former boss invited me to work with him, again, at Brazil Telecom’s SOC, and at the interview with the HR (they don’t know nothing about computers & security , but I expected at least that they would read my resume before the interview, I was wrong)
HR: You’ll work at Brt
Me: I already worked at Brt, actuality, I worked at this same position there.
HR: Really?? Did work at Brt???
Me: Yes, look at my resume.
HR: OH, Yes, you worked there. So, What’s your expectations at Brt??
Me: ???? I’ve already worked there, I already know at will find there, I don’t have any new expectations.
One of the mostly annoying thinks about gtk is ‘ç’, especially when you are a Portuguese speaker and use US keyboard + gtk, this is because someone on the past made this choice
at us-intl keyboards, acute+c = ć
I’m not arguing against Polish, Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian, but is a stupid choice when we compare the use of ç in the Latin World (Brazil, France, Spain, Portugal, etc) , even English has some ç.
My way to solve that is simple.
diff gtk.immodules.old /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
14c14
< "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk+" "/usr/share/locale"
"az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"
---
> "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk+" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"
I hope that, some day, someone will fix that or put at the gtk ebuild a flag like us_latin_cedilla
180 millions of Brazilians will love it.
Gentoo is know as a hard linux distribution, in fact, only the installation is a hard process, everything else is just a piece of cake.
Ok, it’s not easy as ubuntu, but with the right tools, everyone can make magic.
IMHO, no one can have all Gentoo experience without:
- equery (useful when you need information, as USE flags, depends, package contents, etc)
- eix ( excellent search packages program )
- euse (USE flags )
- revdep-rebuild (after an emerge -NDuav world, to fix broken packages)
- module-rebuild rebuild -X ( after an kernel update, rebuild old modules to fit with your new kernel)
Equery, euse and revdep-rebuild are part of gentoolkit ( emerge gentoolkit), eix and module-rebuild have their own package.
And, of course, vim for everything else 
Zenity is a great tool, it creates a gtk dialog box using shell commands.
The following line shows how you can make a emerge without worry waiting for a terminal response.
emerge -NDupv world >/tmp/newpackage && zenity --text-info --filename=/tmp/newpackage && zenity --question --text="emerge?" && emerge -NDuv world
Now I ‘m officially a Candango, someone who left his hometown, his friends, everything behind to start a new life at Brasilia.
Brasilia is strange and pharaonic, every building was created to be unique, especially the government buildings, like the National Congress and the Three Powers Square. Brasilia is breathtaking.
Unfortunately, everything is so far.
