Is Python the real reason for emerge being slow ? What is time consuming is when emerge calculates dependencies. I think so. I perhaps am wrong. If I were right, I would look to Portage tree data structure. Python code could be written in C or C++. Both are close together. Would it be faster, quicker ? That's the question.

Does it mean one must be a Staff member ?

Wouldn't it be nice to have something like {{:Kernel/language/PartName}} to document both kernel and its compilation. It seems that kernel seeds wiki is like abandoned. As a matter of fact, I'm working on a French tutorial about configuration and compilation of a kernel. It is tailored for Debian but to a few exceptions it can be adapted to Funtoo. https://wiki.debian-facile.org/utilisateurs:aramis_qc:tutos:configuration-du-noyau

Why can't I start a new topic in News and Announcements ?

French edition of Funtoo Installation Guide now is a work in progress : http://www.funtoo.org/Install/fr/Installation_Funtoo_Linux

That's something very very big ! HUH !

BTW... does part name have to be translated ?

Because of foreign languages support, is it possible to have French equivalents for Warning (Attention) and Tip (Astuce) ?

Foreign languages support is a very nice feature. I've just started working on French translation. Funtoo installation guide is very clear and concise. It's far less cumbersome than Gentoo one.

brsaneconfig2.tool is for a network configuration. Scanner is pluged to my PC. I do not access it from the net.

I looked at that wiki before. media-gfx/xsane is a scanning software. It is like media-gfx/simple-scan. The later is a lighter tool than xsane. Indeed you need to install such a tool when you want to use a GUI. The under the hood tool is scanimage which is provided by media-gfx/sane-backends. In other words when you scan from the command line you launch scanimage at the prompt. When you do from a GUI it may be xsane or simple-scan or any other GUIs available. Thank for your comment.

I have a Brother multifunction device (MFC-240C). It was running just fine some years ago when I Funtoo ran on 32 bit station. Nowadays only printer works in a Funtoo 64 bit environment while it is fully supported in a Debian 64 bit environment. Right driver is installed, rpm edition of 64 bit brscan2. Please note that printer drivers are 32 bit. There are no 64 bit available. media-gfx/simple-scan and media-gfx/sane-backends are installed. Both simple-scan and scanimage -L report that scanner is not detected no matter how commands are run (as root or as user). My user belongs to scanner and lp groups : guy@Funtoo ~ $ groups lp wheel audio cdrom video cdrw usb users scanner guy Rules for Brother are properly set.

If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). Brother and scanner modules are in /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib64/sane with symlinks to /usr/lib and /usr/lib/sane accordingly. Is there anyone to tell me where to look at ?

I read in the past that a separate /usr partition was a must to systemd. Tassie_Tux says why in his post. I have both Funtoo and Debian on the same machine somehow. There is no seperate /usr partition in either case. Everything boots and works fine. Is it because of EFI ? I can't tell. My machine isnt' uefi.

There are many ways to achieve this. One I like much is to create symlinks. Let's say my Debian /home is on /dev/sda5. Funtoo is installed on second DD and /home is on /dev/sdb2. I create a mount point which name is /mnt/guydata. Name may be anything to your likings. Debian /home is added to Funtoo /etc/fstab. For example if I want to use /home/guy/Documents/Notes_Debian from Funtoo, I create a symlink : $ ln -sf /mnt/guydata/guy/Documents/Notes_Debian /home/guy/documents You can also delete all folders from your Funtoo /home and create symlinks from your Debian /home in using same names. Thus if you download something to your Download folder when running Funtoo, downloaded file will be available from within your Debian Download folder when running Debian. $ rm -r ~/Download $ ln -sf /mnt/guydata/guy/Download ~/Download As stated earlier user id, ownerships and permissions must be identical.

Nice job !

I need multilib because Brother's MFC-240C drivers are 32 bits.
