Please read the docs before asking!!!!! 
Of course you cannot run glcu /etc/glcu.conf. glcu is run automatically by cron, reads the config file and will send you an eMail when there is somthing to update - but the generated update file will be stored in your temp!
Bye, Michael

Just a rough guess and hint: did you already try the python-updater?

This has nothing to do with python - he just hands over a wrong file to glcu, where glcu does not find the expected structure...

In the off chance this is still being watched...
Two things are occurring... OK, three things (nobody expects.....)
Every time glcu runs, it gets a deprecation warning:
| Code: | | /usr/lib/portage/pym/output.py:45: DeprecationWarning: DEPRECATION NOTICE: The output module was replaced by portage.output |
and another:
| Code: | | ./glcu:20: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated |
and now is dying at "update-eix". This one I was clever enough to fix, that eix was changed so the command now is "eix-update."
Any ideas how to fix the other 2, which don't seem to impede the operation, as far as I know?

Hi,
I still watch this, but I'm not using my own glcu any more, because I don't have a glcu server any more.
The second point is the deprecation of the Sets module. You can change the sets commands with the new python variant, but this would be a lot of work.
Although you get this warning, glcu should still work. So please have another look at the output glcu generates.
Bye, Michael

So you're putting the glcu down?

Hi,
read my post from the 22nd of August 2008. I've put it down since one and a half year now...
But portage ist very stable and glcu ist quite stable, so it still works 
Have fun with it, but don't bother me with any updates needed. I won't be doing them...
I'll still read it here, and give tips for the usage - if necessary...
Bye, Michael

BTW, the sourceforge page for this is blank. How does one get the code for this?
Thanks,

Sorry, but you look at my page the 2 days, when my server was down and I was on holiday...
Check GLCU again, if you like...

Hi
4 years using glcu and very satisfied but since some weeks...
Here is the mail i receive every day :
| Code: | Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/etc/cron.daily/glcu", line 16, in <module>

ImportError: No module named output |
Is there something do fix it ?
Thanks |

Only just had a go with this script today and got the same "import output" issue. That module seems to no longer be a part of python. Since its only used for the printHelp function you can easily modify a couple of lines and bypass the requirement for it.
Edit: /usr/sbin/glcu
| Code: | 35 def printHelp():
36 print " glcu - "+output.bold("g")+"entoo "+output.bold("l")+"inux "+output.bold("c")+"ron "+output.bold("u")+"pdate" |
Becomes:
| Code: | 35 def printHelp():
36 print " glcu gentoo linux cron update"
|
Then make sure you comment/remove the "import output" line and you should be all good.
If you want fancy formatting you can always throw in some bash formatting codes to prettify it.
I then hit other errors with Pickle that I've not worked through yet but this should solve your first issue  |

I will test things today - maybe we can write a patch and bump the ebuild... (at least for overlays)

Hallo allerseits,
schön zu sehen, dass GLCU nach so langer Zeit immer noch seine Anhänger hat.
Leider habe ich keinerlei Zeit mehr mich um GLCU zu kümmern (ich habe aktuell auch leider keinen einzigen Gentoo Rechner mehr am laufen) und darum würde Euch darum bitten dies selber in die Hand zu nehmen.
Die Sourcen sind ja alle vollständig vorhanden, und falls jemand mit den neuen Patches daraus neue Releases bauen möchte übergebe ich auch gerne den Sourceforge Zugang für GLCU. Die Webseite steht auch nur noch aus nostalgischen Gründen im Netz und kann gerne übernommen werden. Es ist ja auch alles unter der GPL veröffentlicht.
Freiwillige vor! Hier oder per PM oder per eMail (siehe glcu.sourceforge.net)
Viele Grüße,
Michael

Okay folks - if needed, I got my group's repository opened. (GLCU included)
just add "http://www.stargazer.at/layman.txt" to the overlays in the layman config.

Small update:
Hostname determination requires a small change:
Line 291:
| Code: | | getHostname = ShellExecution('grep HOSTNAME /etc/conf.d/hostname') |
needs to be adapted to be:
| Code: | | getHostname = ShellExecution('grep hostname /etc/conf.d/hostname') |
to reflect the openrc changes.
Cheers
Rei
Edit:
But I'd say we should go for something more foolproof like the shell command 'hostname' to avoid hitting those problems again. I'll test booth cases and come up with a patch.

I never posted the patch for the hostname change - so here we go:
| Code: | --- a/glcu.py 2011-11-01 21:25:52.798841635 +0100
+++ b/glcu.py 2011-11-01 21:23:35.958527234 +0100
@@ -288,7 +288,7 @@
self.__hostname = False

if (getHostname.getExitStatus() == 0 ):
fileHostname = re.findall("\"(.+)\"",getHostname.getOutput())
self.__hostname = '(' + str(fileHostname[0]) + ')'
|
All you need to do is add an epatch line (look at the src_prepare part) to the ebuild and you're ready to roll:
| Code: | | epatch "${FILESDIR}/hostname.patch" |
the ebuild at my overlay got bumped and got the patch included.
