the xorg ebuild only builds what you tell it to unless you dont specify anything so if you add VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" you only get nvidia-drivers there is no need for -all.... I dont know how that isnt what you want

Magnus, I committed revision 969 which contains ebuild einit-9999-r13 which contains a base ebuild with working USE_EXPAND use flags.... for an initial test I created EINIT_INTMOD_ and EINIT_EXTMOD to contain the internal and external modules. For some reason this dosent work 100% with overlays so if this is the way you decide you want to go then the additional files i added in <overlaydir>/profiles will have to be modified in the official portage tree... Anyway what will be required for uses in the mean time is this: | Code: | oldprofile=`readlink /etc/make.profile`; rm -rf /etc/make.profile
; ln -s /usr/portage/local/layman/einit/profiles/einit /etc/make.profile; echo $oldprofile > /usr/portage/local/layman/einit/profiles/einit/parent |
EDIT: fyi, the new ebuild is package.masked because it dosent do anything useful yet

this seems a bit intrusive... + i think the way it was now, it would've masked the default USE_EXPAND variables...
i played a bit with it today, (and moved the -r13 ebuild off the main overlay... package.mask seems unintuitive with svn packages, especially since the sabayon overlay has us package.mask-ed), and i noticed that one might also put the USE_EXPAND="" in /etc/make.conf, maybe we could work something out that way?
btw, if setting the variable alone will set the whole thing to "", how do we make sure a good set of defaults is active unless overriden?

Anyone have an example of getting ipw3945d and 915resolution services to start?
here's the revelant part of my local.xml:
| Code: |
<services>
<!-- both of the following would define a net-eth1 module, one using dhcp, the other with a static address from above -->
<!-- <virtual>
<module>
<shell id="shell-net-eth1-dhcp"
based-on-template="template-shell-net-dhcp"
interface="eth1" />
<shell id="shell-net-eth1-static"
based-on-template="template-shell-net-static"
interface="eth1" />
<shell id="shell-net-eth2-wpasupplicant"
based-on-template="template-shell-net-wpasupplicant"
interface="eth2" />
</module>
</virtual> -->
<prefer>
<xdm s="daemon-gdm" />
<syslog s="daemon-syslog-ng" />
<kern-alsa s="shell-kern-audio-alsa" />
<ipw3945d s="daemon-ipw3945d" />
<!-- <915resolution s="daemon-915resolution" /> -->
</prefer>
<alias>
<!-- service groups -->
<network group="net-lo" seq="most" />
<video group="kern-nvidia" seq="any-iop" />
<audio group="alsa:kern-sound" seq="most" />
<avahi group="avahi-dnsconfd" seq="any-iop" />
<samba group="smbd:nmbd" seq="all" />
<printing group="hpiod:hplip:cupsd" seq="any-iop" />
</alias>
<!-- example alias: localmount is the same as mount/local -->
<!-- <alias id="localmount" s="mount/local" /> -->
<!-- example override: on regular systems, einit-tty will only need mount/system, but if you'd like
to use quingy and have the terminals controlled using einit-tty, then you will need mount/critical
if /usr is on its own partition (due to libquingy) -->
<!-- <override>
<module id="einit-tty" requires="mount/critical" />
</override> -->
<!-- example override, probably useful for lvm users:
this should make einit mount mount/system-nodes, i.e. /dev, /sys and /proc
before trying to mount the root-filesystem -->
<!-- <override>
<module id="einit-mount-root" requires="mount/system" />
<module id="einit-mount-system" requires="sysconf" />
</override> -->
</services>
<mode id="default" base="boot">
<enable services="audio:clock:xdm:swap:mount/remote:tts" />
<ttys s="tty2-regular:tty3-regular:tty4-regular:tty5-regular:tty6-regular" />
</mode>
</einit>

I fixed the new ebuild everyone so now if you run 'emerge -pv einit' you should see:
| Quote: | | [ebuild R ] sys-apps/einit-9999-r13 USE="-doc -static" EINIT_CORE="bootstrap-configuration-stree bootstrap-configuration-xml-expat linux-mount linux-process linux-sysconf log module-logic-v3 module-so" EINIT_MODULES="compatibility-sysv-initctl compatibility-sysv-utmp exec external feedback-aural feedback-visual-textual hostname ipc ipc-configuration ipc-core-helpers module-daemon module-exec module-transformations mount parse-sh process scheduler shadow-exec tty" 0 kB |
until this ebuild gets added to portage and the EINIT_CORE and EINIT_MODULES use_expand variables get added to default profile or until the portage-dev start to recognize per-overlay variables you will be required to (at the very minimum) add the following to your 'make.conf' file:
| /etc/make.conf: | | USE_EXPAND="EINIT_MODULES EINIT_CORE" |
also until we figure out some good default use settings, add the following:
For portage users
| /etc/make.conf: | EINIT_CORE="module-so module-logic-v3 bootstrap-configuration-xml-expat bootstrap-configuration-stree log linux-sysconf linux-mount linux-process"
EINIT_MODULES="feedback-visual-textual feedback-aural hostname external exec ipc module-exec module-daemon mount tty process parse-sh ipc-configuration shadow-exec module-transformations ipc-core-helpers scheduler compatibility-sysv-utmp compatibility-sysv-initctl" |
For paludis users
| /etc/paludis/use.conf: | * EINIT_CORE: -* module-so module-logic-v3 bootstrap-configuration-xml-expat bootstrap-configuration-stree log
* EINIT_MODULES: -* feedback-visual-textual feedback-aural fqdn external exec ipc module-exec module-daemon mount tty process parse-sh ipc-configuration shadow-exec module-transformations ipc-core-helpers scheduler compatibility-sysv-utmp compatibility-sysv-initctl linux-sysconf linux-mount linux-process network feedback-visual-fbsplash |
...feel free to remove modules that you dont want
NOTE: EINIT_CORE will eventually become HIDDEN_USE_EXPAND

great job, Ryan! seems to work like a charm
I'll see if i can get the ebuild to just drop to the default (or rather "old") behaviour of getting as much compiled as possible if there's no USE_EXPAND="EINIT_CORE EINIT_MODULES" defined (or if the individual EINIT_* variables...)
EDIT: modified the ebuild to do just that... hey, it's working, too

I think my problems (listed above) are from not having the kernel modules loaded at boot. Where in local.xml do I put the list of modules I want to load?

I found this in /etc/einit/local.xml.example the last time I updated eINIT:
| Code: |
<prefer>
[...]
<!-- use /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 to autoload modules: -->
<kern-arbitrary s="shell-kern-module-autoload.d" />
[...]
</prefer>
|
Just add the modules to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and they'll be loaded. ^^ |

yep, what ryan suggested would work with the current svn version, alternatively there's some sections elements under <modules> where you can put modules to load. just make sure to enable the appropriate kern-<section>. i.e. if you added something to the <arbitrary s="" /> element, you also need to add kern-arbitrary to the list of services

Thank you! It loads the modules just fine. Doesn't seem to fix my problem with ipw3945d or 915resolution though, as ipw3945d fails with no error message and 915resolution says it's started but is not, neither is xdm (gdm).

ipw3945 is on my list to get working again... but i was hoping to switch to iwlwifi instead so I have been holding off as long as possible

Is iwlwifi the sucessor to ipw3945?

Sounds promising. What about 915resolution and xdm though?

i wish i could help with the 915resolution module, but i don't have any hardware to test that on :/
did you put its service in your video group? (local.xml, somewhere near the end)
the default is
| Code: |
<video group="kern-nvidia" seq="any-iop" />
|
and for that intel card you'd modify it to be
| Code: |
<video group="video-intel-resolution" seq="any-iop" />

A suggestion: update the paludis overlay installation wiki instructions for the einit overlay like so:
einit.conf code:
| Code: | # Paludis einit repository configuration file
location = /var/paludis/repositories/einit
sync = svn+http://einit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/einit/trunk/distro/gentoo/portdir_overlay
format = ebuild
master_repository = gentoo
names_cache = ${location}/.cache/names
write_cache = /var/cache/paludis/metadata |
(eclassdirs and profiles are inherited from the master repo, and the format name has changed to ebuild)
add overlay installation code (1st-time sync of overlay):

Both changing nvidia to intel resolution and upgrading einit to svn did work. ipw3945d still doesn't, i guess I'll have to wait until iwlwifi if ready. I'll stick with sysv for now. Einit is mad fast though.

I don't believe that's possible from within linux and it's on a laptop, so no floppy.

heh, i can relate to that problem :-/
well, i managed to get my bios updated by creating a dvd-ram with freedos and the original tools, which worked but was a pita -- sorry i can't help with that module because i don't have access to a computer with an intel graphics card
