Adding "--interpolated-path=/home/git-mirrors" to GITDAEMON_OPT values allows for git-daemon to "server" the repository independent of local server path. so the command git clone git://localhost/portage.git /usr/portage will actually clone the repository from /home/git-mirrors/portage.git into /usr/portage. Note: git checkout funtoo.org is VITAL! Emerge will go back to funtoo.org if you do not do this step. If you have DNS setup, you can repeat "Cloning from local git-daemon" on the local computer using git clone git://server.your.network/portage.git /usr/portage after git checkout, emerge will now work successfully.

I think there is a step missing here. Doing a git clone git://[localhost | host] fails. Will look into SCM git daemon page. Note: edit made to wiki page. quotes needed around GITDAEMON_OPT values. Starting git-daemon service will fail with quotes missing.

Time to experiment. If you don't see me in a while, you'll know what happened Going in... :)

Reading through the wiki page, I can see the tree being cloned and a daemon set up on the server. Also, I see on the client the portage tree being set aside and the tree from the git daemon cloned. Is it implicit in how emerge/git works that emerge function will grab from the local tree from then on?

I agree with the premise. There must be a way. funtoo git server daemon?

Sharing protected directories across a network just seems like an extremely bad idea.

Looking into keep my bandwidth usage down, I found references to setting up rsync daemon in gentoo. The idea to have a local mirror is quite appealling. Since Funtoo uses git, is there an equivalent set up/process?

Knew there had to be a work around :) Thanks Oleg!

So does the github repository have to be sub-divided? Went to look at something in the dev-perl but ran into this issue.

MS Power point? There is LibreOffice/OpenOffice Impress. But I see your point. A standardize presentation package with default script to go with the presentation.

uname -r ?

Understood. The page also mentioned the brsaneconfig2 tool. Good luck :)

Putting my sever setup together (move from debian -> funtoo) I faced the issue of installing php5. I found enough docs to walk me through issues/pitfalls to get going. However, when I emerged dev-libs/php5 I got something unexpected back. emerge complained about the dependencies built into the app-admin/eselect-php ebuild (ver 0.7.1-r3). It seems that the version of php available was "too new". The available php version was 5.5.19 but eselect-php had a hard dependency of "!<dev-lang/php-5.5.0_beta1-r2". Well, that seems silly. So I followed the steps for making a Local Overlay , copied the ebuild, updated the slot numbers to the latest available for php 5.3,5.4 and 5.5. I also added the files referenced by the ebuild. I did the emerge of php and got everything working. Yulp!!!! Touchdown!!! :D This whole process of making local overlays to correct 'perceived' upstream oversights is disconcerting. It seems to me rather deceptively easy to just overwrite version dependencies. Please tell me there's more too this. During the search for a workaround to the eselect-php ebuild, I stumbled on the exact same issue ( FL-469 ) from March 2013. This gives me the impression that hard coding the version dependencies into ebuilds creates a "whack-a-mole" situation where updating dependency info in ebuilds is a constant necessity. What's the best way to fix/update/help?

I haven't played with "sane" too much, but a quick google search for "gentoo sane" found this link in the gentoo wiki. One thing on the wiki page I noticed that you didn't mention was xsane. (see Prerequisites. ) Hope this helps. :D

thanks sitquiety...that reminds me of something. Fans: noctua. Awesome, modestly priced, large volume, quiet fans.

I missed the part about PATA. Skimmed too fast. StarTech has bidirectionsl PATA/SATA adapters here $20 doesn't seem too bad. Maybe the intel equiv( just a guess) MB would be an i3/i5? My wife's 2009 iMac has a 4core i5 and I find it a little clunky at times. May just be OS X Mavericks. If you're replacing the MB and going with AMD - you could get away with AM3/AM3+ chipset. My only complaint w/ my current Gigabyte-990XF-UD3 is booting up w/ a USB drive. Its a know issue. I just remember to use one that is <2GB and formated with FAT and I'm good. I have 1 PCI , 2 - 16x PCIe, 2 -4x PCIe, and 2 - 1x PCIe slots. The MB + FX-6300 has a max power at ~95W. Same MB + FX-8300 max power is ~125W. Under low loads they hover <30W. YMMV Video Cards - Go w/ a low AMD. I have a version similar to this in my boxes. And power supplies for ~$50? Do-able. Mid-Tower cases < $100? Sure. and some have PS included. Cosair has some decent RAM - with a great lifetime policy. Had a 8GB fail memtest and they replaced it. No questions. Filed an RMA. Boxed it up. Shipped. And got a shiney new one back. Your OP mentioned TV/radio input. With this I have little experience, but from past searches IIRC they didn't seem cheap. Have fun shopping!

My thoughts differ slightly from sputnik above. My desktop and fileserver boxes were both DIY's. They have been rather reasonable workhorses doing what I ask of them for the last ~3 years. My only suggestion is just a touch of future proofing. - Look at MB's that will allow you to step up to the next CPU (e.g. AMD - AM3+. Not sure if intel has equivalent). - A low cost case with some room for growth ( mix of 5.25/3.5 ) - A respectable power supply - A GPU card that will work with your monitor now + 1. ( and if you're thinking about upscaling monitor size - factor that into your gpu). Having all-in-one solutions may not be the best option long term if you want to swap parts later. I'm not sure what part of the world you're in, but newegg has some okay deals. And if you can time it right, buying piecemeal during sales may be an idea. I have AMD Bulldozer CPU's. I don't have anyting bad to say about it. It does what I need it too. I was just disappointed when Piledriver came out shortly afterwards. I use modest Sapphire - Radeon cards that were quite inexpensive. And I haven't had too many software glitches with FOSS. I just have to remember to grab linux-firmware for radeon blobs. I can't recall if it was zdnet or tom's hardware site that have a yearly DIY for $x article series. That may give you ideas. All for $500? Possible. good luck! :)

I think nrc's original post in reply to OP should be the last word...

That's one way to start a flame war. My objection to systemd is based only on the negative experiences I have encountered. And asking for help with systemd and getting a reply similar to quote above doesn't help. This is why I came to funtoo. I was hopeful these kinds of discussions wouldn't occur here.

@overkill - got that. problem was that the gcc install by default was gcc-4.8.2. This lead to all the problems about not having c++11 features and my questions about clang being hobbled by gcc. gcc-config was discussed on the gentoo wiki page for gcc upgrading. Did some reading. Thx

@fossala - the issue may be in the wiki instructions. I got bit by this one, as well. The page says to echo "exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch" > ~/.xinitrcTry removing "--with-ck-launch" from .xinitrc. Log out and log back in. Good luck.

As was suggested to me on IRC, wait for a day - try again. Good advice. With the foolishness of gentoo bug #528294 out of the way, I tried again the upgrade of gcc. Amazingly, the gcc upgrade moved along quite well! I then re-emerged my system (~850 ebuilds and 8 hours later) and no hiccups - everything seems to be working well. I then went back to the code mentioned in the OP to compile. The commands, both gcc and clang, were rather simple - as opposed to the convuleted attempts made during IRC discssion. In both cases, it boiled down to [g++|clang++] -std=c++11 main.cpp -o mainYeah! c++11 features! No -stdlib=libc++ or -lc++ or rediculous include statements. Observations - Even though clang installed is the latest/greatest, it was hobbled by gcc version preventing usage of newer c++ standard features. I don't know how else to explain it. llvm.org site indicates that they are moving to c++1y/c++14. So having an up to date gcc(in the 4.9 series or later) would seem to be a must. - When one uses emerge -e worldit does just that. It emerges everything, even the kernel! I had followed the install instructions from the wiki and was surprised to find out that the kernel was recompiled with the latest installed gcc. - The instructions for gcc upgrading from gentoo wiki do work. Attempting to upgrade, downgrade then upgrade again I had no problems. - It was bad timing on my part being bitten by the gentoo bug. But I still have this overwhelming urge to give the dev responsible a good SMACK up side the head for surprising us with such an arbitrary change. I'll get over it....maybe... - And last but not least...I'm glad I moved over to funtoo. The IRC/forums are helpful - unlike other distro's. Yeah funtoo!

I am a "systemd refugee". I chose to leave other distributions because of their insistence on using software that caused me all sorts of grief. A program/daemon cannot exist that saves devs/admins from themselves. I should not have to resort to pkill to take down a service. Its not about being a control freak, but does the user have control over the computer without being second guessed by some arbitrary program? With funtoo, I have that assurance the computer will do exactly what I tell it and if it fails I have the confidence to correct without shrugging my shoulders at the machinations of some undocumented black box program. edited... As has been pointed out - sure there are "needs" for systemd as other applications or libraries depend on it. I am greatful that funtoo doesn't enable this by default. For those who are "ripping out" these dependencies - Kudos! Please keep doing that. And to the funto admins - Please,please - don't enable systemd. Thank you.

Looks like my issues with upgrading are related to gentoo bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528294 Lets hear it for IRC discussions...
