the rsync setup is quite easy. on gentoo box, change /etc/rsyncd.conf with this:

Thanks for you help guys I got portage working on the Solaris server by running an rsync server off one of our Gentoo boxes.

The script installed everthing beautifully so big respect to the author.

Now I just have a problem with the $PATH variable. The $PATH is set fine (ie lots of directorys with my apps in) for normal users but when I login as root it changes to /usr/sbin:/usr/bin: only! I have been through the usual config files where the $PATH is set but can't find anything. Do you have any ideas what would cause this?

that could happen if there is .*rc or .profile file in root's home which sets PATH. /etc/profile is modified by the install script to include /etc/profile.env and /etc/profile should should set the PATH correctly.

what shell does the root use?

My regular user account uses Bash and so does the root.

I found that $HOME/.profile was doing this:

how about $HOME/.bash_profile and $HOME/.bashrc?

Johno · n00b Joined: 26 Oct 2004 Posts: 13

Don't have either only .bash_history in $HOME

bash reads these files in order: /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc

look at every file that these files refer. if the PATH is set somewhere then its these files. there is no magic.

They (Sun) say that Sol10 should have better Linux compatibility "everything just a compile away!" kind of thing.

It's probably far from true, but don't you think that maybe you should try it on sol10?

EDIT: I meant "They (Sun)" not "They (Solaris)"

Portaris does not really work on Sol10/sparc (yet)!

Linux compatibility is mainly implemented for the x86 version of Sol10.

Hi all,

Is Portaris development stoped or just moved to another place?
Anyone maybe still working on subject?
I would like to take a part.

I haven't done really anything recently. Devsk was doing most of the work. I couldn't keep up with him. He turned out to be a lot better at it than I ever was. We're both in the OpenSolaris pilot and OpenSolaris is going to be an official Gentoo supported platform once it is allowed out of the pilot group.

A lot of stuff in the Solaris source is licensed and cannot be given away for free, pilot members have access to some stuff that won't be available publicly. (You need access to Sun's compiler to build some things at the moment)

Right now, I've been sort of sitting back and reading the mailing list. My job situation has changed (rather job hunting again). I no longer have a company provided top-of-the-line laptop that I was using for running Solaris 10. I burned out the cpu in my fastest desktop system due to a poor quality heatsink and have no money to replace it, and a lot of old stuff I had is being thrown out to regain space in my limited bedroom.

Once my financial situation improves, (and credit) I'll be buying something decently fast (at least 2.8ghz) that I can use for Solaris and/or OpenSolaris work.

nothing much happening here. the tar(link on page 6) is available for people to test and report problems, should work on both sol9 and 10. the systems used for portage on solaris are currently down, so no new development at this time.

Vestec

The installation of portage on solaris10 almost successfully done. But almost: the utils have given the error messages.
Can anybody help to "overcome it" :-)

?

pm me the portage-emerge.log...if you can put it somewhere and point me there, that would be better.

gcc's fixincludes script didn't run properly. Can you try to run it manually?

cd /usr/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.4*/install-tools
./fixinc.sh

after this try 'emerge -O gcc-config'.

Here is the result of the recommneded steps:

so the problem was indeed with fixincludes.

somehow you have the older install script (and it may not be in the tar either, pieter hasn't uploaded the new tar I guess). ok, now can you edit it and insert the above two lines. search for "Sync can take a long time" and insert these lines just above it.

Vestec

We are in progress - gcc (together with gnuconfig, ccache, texinfo, gentoolkit, portage, bzip2, libXft) has been emerged.

But unfortunately - remaining utils (bison, binutils, gawk, berkdb, perl, python, makefile)responded with error while emerged.
