Today being my Birthday pretty much started my day. Somehow I managed to accept a call at 00:12 (while I was asleep) but I don’t even remember taking it. Somehow my real live is getting better and better (as in finding some friends as I pretty much was a hermit for the last couple of years).
Also I found someone to share my toughts with, someone who understands it, how to really get to me (read it as a very good friend :P)
Gentoo stuff is living on. vserver-sources/linux-vserver is approaching it’s next stable release (hopefully in this week), openvz-sources finally on something newer than 2.6.8.1 (ok, they’re there quite a while) and baselayout-vserver finally working on both openvz and linux-vserver.
And my little experiment also continues (the WRAP experiment). I’m currently trying to get a minimal Gentoo running on that (well sort of). I’m currently trying to get some replacement for/a way to strip down GCC (I really don’t need a compiler on the WRAP, and since the whole GCC takes 79M it’s pretty much a candidate for removal).
solar yesterday mentioned something like this:
1 |
INSTALL_MASK_EXEMPT="*.so.*" INSTALL_MASK="*" emerge gcc |
Well that would be a pretty nifty feature (and I already tried my luck and wisdom *cough*), but hopefully we’ll se something like that pretty soon π
It’s almost a year since I joined Gentoo and I have to admit that it was a pretty good time so far (well except some random things, like me screwing some releases).
Hello π
There should be an ebuild called “libgcc” or something, that after emerging will leave only run-time needed .so and friends – but, properly linked, etc. Maybe addition to Portage FEATURES flags like let’s say “runtime” that will work as filter for anything that is not neccecery in run-time only system is more than welcome… π
