[Explicit setting CPU_FLAGS_X86 for Skylake Xeon E3 v5]

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.

[[Solved] ebuild for pysl package]

The dep can look like (probably):

RDEPEND="$(python_gen_cond_dep 'dev-python/configparse[${PYTHON_USEDEP}]' 'python2*')"

[[Solved] ebuild for pysl package]

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

[[Solved] ebuild for pysl package]

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.

[X,Org security update]

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.

[IMPORTANT: LXD and pam update]

pam-1.3.0-r3 update provides better values for maximum open files in /etc/security/limits.conf. This is good values on modern systems. However it was found that pam_limits.so  that actually setting the limits has bug that occurs in LXD containers, which results in incorrect limits handle. As a consequence, after reboot of containers SSH connection can be terminated.

We will fix pam_limits.so soon, so that it will correctly handle limits inside containers. 

In the mean time, DO NOT UPDATE /etc/security/limits.conf inside LXD containers. LXD containers should have NO limits set in /etc/security/limits.conf until we have fixed the upstream bug.

[[Solved]error installing lxpanel]

it is very likely installed without X use flag enabled, for desktops system you need to enable desktop profile, which can be achieved by

this way gdk-pixbuf will be merged with X use. Ultimately lxpanel must depend on gdk-pixbuf[X], which is perhaps it missing.
