* Gentoo Documentation team looking for new French lead translator
Portage tarballs available for OpenBSD and FreeBSD
--------------------------------------------------
Grant Goodyear[1] has put together tarballs that can be used to install
Portage on OpenBSD and FreeBSD. While there's still a long way before
you'll be able to install a Gentoo/BSD system from stage-1, as Grant said
in his announcement[2] to gentoo-dev, this is the first step on the road
to generating one, and we encourage users to test these tarballs, as well
as to experiment with constructing a true Gentoo *BSD stage-1 tarball. For
more information, read the above announcement, or check out Grant's
page[3] on Gentoo + *BSD.

Second Gentoo BugDay to be held on September 6
----------------------------------------------
Since last month's Gentoo BugDay was such a success, we're going to have
another one next Saturday, on September 6, and on the first Saturday of
each month from now on. Come on down to the #gentoo-bugs channel on
irc.freenode.net, and help us squash bugs and maintain the high quality
of our distribution - it's also a great opportunity for devs and users
to get to know each other.
Gentoo Documentation team looking for new French lead translator
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Gentoo Documentation team is looking for a new French lead translator.
Responsibilities would include coordinating the translations, verifying
the translated version, and committing it to CVS so it can be viewed on
the website. A solid reading knowledge of both written French and written
English is a requirement; familiarity with XML and CVS would be helpful
but can be acquired after taking the position if necessary. Interested
parties should send an email to Sergey Kuleshov[4].

* Packages Affected: <vmware-workstation-4.0.1-5289
<vmware-workstation-3.2.1-2242
* Rectification: emerge sync; emerge vmware-workstation-(insert the

Lars Weiler
Figure 4.1: Lars Weiler
http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20030901_pylon.jpg
We are pleased to present Lars Weiler[9] (pylon) as this week's featured
developer. Lars works on Gentoo's PPC development team as well as taking
lead responsibilities for German Translation on the International Document
Subproject of the Gentoo Documentation Project[10]. He is also involved
with the Infrastructure Team[11] in dealing with CVS and viewcvs issues
and configuration. Gentoo is his first major OSS project, which he has
compensated for with involvement in so many disparate aspects of the work.

11. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/
Lars first heard of Gentoo in mid-2002 and first installed it on his iBook
in November of that year, needing a few months to get everything working
the way he wanted. He became a developer on the PPC project in March of
2003 and completed the migration of his x86 box to Gentoo in May. He
enjoys working within the Gentoo community, and frequently travels around
Europe to meet other developers. As a PPC user, he appreciates the ebuild
system, as it makes it easy for him to fine-tune applications to suit his
needs - the "compile everything you need" functionality serves him well.
In addition to his Gentoo work, Lars is an active member of the Chaos
Computer Club[12], a German "white-hat" hacker group. He provides some of
the organization activities and much of the press relations for the
organization. He has been a student at the German University of Applied
Sciences in Krefeld as well as attending courses at the Fontys Hoogeschool
in Venlo, the Netherlands. His coursework has focused on a diploma in the
somewhat esoteric field of Mechatronics (a mixture of Mechanics,
Electronics and Informatics).
12. http://www.ccc.de
Lars has two Gentoo boxen: a 600 MHz Apple iBook that is his primary
development and testing platform (not to mention providing a DVD movie
player for train rides), as well as a 5 year old PIII-700 that provides
backup services as well as some multi-media features. Lars multimedia
requirements are further serviced by a Fuji FinePix7400 digital camera
that is always to hand. He prefers the more streamlined fluxbox desktop
environment to KDE or Gnome. He generally uses a highly-customized mutt
client for mail, LaTeX for word-processing. In addition, he frequently
uses gnome-terminal, irssi, gkrellm, xpad, psi and MozillaFirebird.
Lars speaks four languages: German, English, French and Dutch. Buffer
overflow has apparently caused him to lose much of his Latin. He lives in
the German state of Northrhine-Westfalia, in the city of Krefeld on the
banks of the Rhine. He frequently travels to the nearby cities of
Dusseldorf and Cologne. Lars reminded us of the motto of the 18th Chaos
Communication Congress: "Hacking is not a crime."

Kitchen Metaphore
Non-Gentooists mock the seemingly complicated, indisputably lengthy
procedure of downloading tarballs of source code, compiling them with the
help of an ebuild, only to end up with a binary application like everybody
else. So how does one explain the Gentoo way to the uninitiated?
Difficult? Enter TGL[13], who has got it all in a remarkably simple
one-liner. It probably takes a French to come up with the beautiful
analogy to cooking: Tarballs are the ingredients, ebuilds are the recipe,
and you get to be your own chef around the kitchen. Haute cuisine, so much
tastier than pre-cooked RPMs...

Testing GCC with Python
User Adam Dunstan was curious[18] whether using -march=pentium4 on his GCC
3.2.3 Gentoo box was safe yet. List member Gabor replied with a cool
Python trick that allows a user to quickly tell if his GCC compiler was
affected by the -pentium4 bug.

Backing Up Gentoo
Backups are often ignored until it's too late. List member Pupeno asked
for some suggestions[19] on backing up his entire Gentoo installation to a
separate hard disk. Read on for some tips, as well as some
user-contributed backup scripts.

Gentoo Calender.
With such a huge project, and so many different aspects, it can often
become difficult to organise things. One thing suggested this week to help
ease the trouble was the implementation of a Gentoo Calender [20] Where
important dates could be recorded and remembered.

Desktops desktops and more desktops
One of those parts that most of us would never live without in our Gentoo
system is our desktop. [21] This thread raises the interesting discussion
of what elements of our system are actually part of the desktop, and how
much interaction and control the Gentoo base should have over it.

Europe: Protest Against Software Patents
KDE closed its website, Apache.org was down, GNOME out of business? What
happened? Well: The question should be "What will happen?" On Monday, 1
September, the European Parliament (EP) in Brussels will vote on proposed
legislation to install software patents (pretty much following the example
of the US, setting out to override existing patentability laws in force
around Europe). Activists around Europe and their friends across the
planet decided to do something about it. In a display of what could happen
if some of the patents on copying and pasting, hyperlinks and whatnot were
actually enforced, some major websites, mostly those of Open Source
software developers, closed shop for a day or more, hoping that their
protest will have an impact on the outcome of Monday's decisive meeting of
the EP plenary. Many Gentooists have actively supported last week's
happenings around Europe, the Gentoo website sported a brief editorial
note encouraging "our European friends to make up their minds". For
further information on the background of the debate, last week's events
and the outcome of the vote, check the FFII website[22], the pivotal
information hub of the anti-patent movement.

9. Tips and Tricks
==================
Editing USE flags with ufed and euse
This week's tip introduces two USE flag editors; ufed (an ncurses based
utility) and euse (a command line utility). Between these two programs the
days of opening /etc/make.conf and editing USE manually can be over.
While euse is available in Portage, ufed is a separate package and will
need to be emerged.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 9.1: |
| Getting ufed |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
|# emerge app-portage/ufed |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using ufed is very simple. Make sure you're root and simply type ufed. An
ncurses based interface to all USE flags should start and you can select
them as you like. After you're done, just select Save and you're done.
While ufed provides a full menu for editing USE flags, euse is handy when
you need to quickly add or remove a USE flag. To add a USE flag, use euse
-E flag. To remove a flag, use euse -D flag. To list your USE flags, use
euse -i.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 9.2: |
| Using euse |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
|Example: Adding mozilla as a USE flag |
|# euse -E mozilla |
| |
|Example: Removing mozilla as a USE flag |
|# euse -D mozilla |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For more information on using these two programs, see man 1 euse and man 8
ufed.
