Gentoo

There used to be a www-apps/jellyfin, but it is now gone. Anyone heard of a reason?

I ask Google Bard "What's the difference between Funtoo and Gentoo?"

Bard replies: Both Funtoo and Gentoo are Arch Linux-based distributions known for their source-based installation and high degree of customization. While they share a lot of similarities, there are some key differences to consider:

I checked, and both Gentoo and Arch initially released in March 2002, although Arch is older by 20 days.

I've got a physical bit of tin that I'm playing around with. It has a livecd booted. I ssh into it, enter chroot, happy days.

I've been trying to install tmux, but libevent just wouldn't finish configuring. I had forgetten about it and left over the weeked. Found it still running (probably in loops) this morning. Quick websearch did not yield anything obvious, thought I'd sync the repo in hopes it was an ebuild issue. That threw up on me with SSL errors, complaining the certs are not valid, yet. This was the hint I needed. After setting the correct time the build went through in seconds.

I don't understand why it got in the way in the first place, but I guess it's not something people would run into all that often. Something to keep in mind, though!

Can't say I'll use gentoo_update myself, but I do like the idea. Maybe I should do some more scripting to generate some reports.

Old article, but the points remain and I agree with the conclusion that /tmp/ should be a tmpfs mount.

. . . busy re-emerging @world or untangling a QT5 slot-dependency rat's nest or something and has no time to talk? ;)
