Hi, everyone! mysql-community-8.0.12 added in 1.3-release. This is Oracle's MySQL-8 major release. Please, notice, that this package cannot be installed with mysql (replacing). It also has certain incompatibilities with older version versions of mysql and databases, created. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.0/en/news-8-0-12.html

tree update has not happened yet

this is fixed already, sync your meta-repo

to clarify little bit, portage has basic cpu detection of cpu's when you run emerge pkgname, based on ncpu+1, it does not pass any other arguments such as "l" or load-average. IN this case you may want to tweak you custom MAKETOPS.

i suggest updating to the 1.3 directly, not 1.2

aha, so, there is also an gtkspell-2 ebuild with slot-2. gtkspell-3 is what mentioned as fixed

@morphmex, do you have enchant-2.2.1-r1 installed?

setting MAKEOPTS is not really required for very long time, portage auromatically adjusts makeopts depending on number of cpu's. This is less known fact

this is fixed already, need to wait for tree update

this is already fixed, but you need to wait for tree update

this is fixed already and will in tree with next sync

it was reported already and fix applied, need to wait for tree update

Running ego boot update is reflected in update guide

the upgrade instruction are in prepare phase, that will be published on wiki. But you need latest ego, yes

this is fixed now

As said earlier setting too explicit flags can only benefit if package can utilize the exact instruction. For example the only one package in entire tree explicitly use pclmul instruction, dev-libs/gf2x it has IUSE_CPU_FLAGS=" pclmul sse2 sse3 sse4_1 ssse3", which then has use_enable cpu_flags_x86_pclmul pclmul for the configure phase. Whether any other ebuilds in tree can use this instruction is unknown. Same is applicable to other less frequently used instructions. In most cases the flags will be ignored.

is app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions really at version 5.2.20?

what version of virtualbox-guest-additions installed?

what version of virtualbox-guest-additions?

The dep can look like (probably): RDEPEND="$(python_gen_cond_dep 'dev-python/configparse[${PYTHON_USEDEP}]' 'python2*')"

Yes, you can add dependency for the python2.7 case

configparser is a standart module (shipped in python) since version 3.2, if you are using python lesser than 3.2 version, then you need to set a standalone configparser ebuild. You can skip this dep.

what version of app-emulation/lxd installed?

xfce-4.13 release has been moved to the 1.3-release later

Hi, everyone! X.Org security update now available with version 1.19.3-r3. By default xorg-server ebuild installs the /usr/bin/Xorg binary with suid . In 1.19 it was found a regression which allowed a privilege escalation. This is now fixed with patch. More details can be found here: https://www.mail-archive.com/xorg-announce@lists.x.org/msg01138.html A notice on suid USE flag. By default this USE flag is enabled and with unpatched xorg-server there is a security risk. Upstream recommendation is to disable suid USE. This can be achieved by: echo "x11-base/xorg-server -suid" >> /etc/portage/package.use emerge -1 xorg-server This will work in most cases, when login managers are used, such as GDM or similar. In case you are starting the X via xinit or startx, disable of suid USE may impact the X start. You can leave the suid USE turned on, as xorg-server has the vulnerability fix applied.
