no

what's the dev-lang/swig version?

for such cases, it's good to select "Alternative kernel" first in Sysrescue, if this doesn't help, change media to something else, like Ubuntu live cd or any alternative ones.

ah, ok :)

thats another option

what we need to fix then?

i meant was it "bad" from start or you had changes while configuring postfix

by --exclude --exclude A or --exclude 'A B C' for several packages

did you change this lines in main.cf?

please, give details on this parse error. postfix is a part of stage3 and under close attention.

it's fine to have limited choices. Too much freedom (or so called choices) often leads to anarchy. icedtea case. To make it bootstrap there're 2 choices. Rebuild gcc qith gcj support or emerge icedtea-bin. Funtoo dropped support fro gcj in gcc ebuilds. Also gcj support sheduled fro removal in upstream gcc. So we got only one way is: emerge icedtea-bin first. virtual/jdk ebuild has icedtea-bin candidate alternative. obviously this virtual can't have iceadtea, because you need icedtea-bin built first.

to install iceadtea, user need to install icedte-bin, then icedtea. Funtoo defaults to oracle Java flavor. And it should cover most cases.

you can have iceadtea. emerge icedtea-bin icedtea.

Any preferences for icedtea and why?

that means you have package installed that is masked. remove it by emerge -C automake:1.15

which ones and why? a bit in the dark here :)

yes, bash is slow too, mainly because of readline library but still. The're several portage rewrites exist. paludis (C++), nix package manager (haskell), maybe others exist too. But they are mainly doing same as portage, i.e their existance dubious from point it's just portage (but in different lang). Devs who doesn't like python, created it without making anything revolutionary.

yes, you can do that either from git or from sources.gentoo.org. on s.g.o there is option 'Show dead files' (dead) is shown after ebuild. With git you can do it in many ways but we not recommending doing it in portage dir as it getting overriden by next sync

sort of. many blame portage for being slow and some such and complaining that python is the cause. yes python is not the fastest language but portage slowness is not caused by that.

paste complete message, i.e which package(s) need that.

4.8.4 released some time ago (not in tree). We have 4.9.2 masked. Can you, please, report it to bugs.funtoo.org?

yes, you changing /etc/conf.d/hostname only and /etc/hosts automatically generated. That's custom change in Funtoo's openrc. It supports aliases, so you can create multiple hosts entries

you can use hosts in whatever way you like.

Not much we can do here, you'll need to contact a gentoo kde team and qt-overlay maintainers. IRC #gentoo-qt, #gentoo-kde

looks fine, are you able to ping gateway?
