  15. Re:the dark side of gentoo... on Gentoo Reviewed · · Score: 1

    ok... AC took care of point 3. the only point remaining is gcc calling python... any takers? :)

  16. Re:the dark side of gentoo... on Gentoo Reviewed · · Score: 1

    point 2: sorry... it isn't a python script... but it calls python to figure out some flags (includes path) so there is still the overhead of launching python.

    point 3: say I want to build xchat. I'd like to
    #emerge --features xchat
    ipv6
    gnome
    ssl
    nls
    #emerge +ipv6 -gnome xchat

    something along that rather than having to read the ebuild, change make.conf, build, and eventually changing make.conf back.

    in addition to the third point... I'd prefer "opt-in" features. Darwin ports are much more sensible in that area.

  19. the dark side of gentoo... on Gentoo Reviewed · · Score: 3, Interesting
    I've been a user of gentoo for some time now... overall its pretty good, init script dependencies, up to date software but there is a few points I dislike:
    • init script is broken. when you want to relaunch a service that died, it says the service is already launched. no big issue but still...
    • gcc is a fscking python script, everytime you compile a file you call python... and i wondered why xfree compilation took so long.
    • no cli to check options in ebuild scripts. read the script, edit /etc/make.conf, build
