I've probably mentioned that I'm working on switching #Gentoo from our half-broken eselect-ldso logic to #FlexiBLAS. This also involves a transition period where both setups would be supported.
A good thing is that the switch is ABI-compatible with the previous state (or at least it's supposed to be — we're working with upstream on fixing function coverage). Since libblas.so, liblapack.so and the rest are replaced by symlinks, programs that link to them will simply start using FlexiBLAS. So far, so good.
Unfortunately, switching the other way doesn't work as well. Stuff newly built against our libblas.so & co. symlinks naturally reads FlexiBLAS's SONAME from them, and links to libflexiblas directly. So should you decide to switch back, some packages will stay linked to FlexiBLAS and will need to rebuilt.
In order to avoid this, I would have to replace the symlinks with wrapper libraries, having libblas.so.3 and so on SONAMEs, and linking to libflexiblas. Unfortunately, a dummy wrapper isn't going to work — the linker will complain about using indirect symbols from libflexiblas.so. So I would probably have to "reexport" their symbols somehow, and ideally split into appropriate libraries, so that `-Wl,--as-needed` wouldn't drop some of them. But how to do that?
Well, let's look at the existing logic for eselect-ldso — clearly both BLIS and OpenBLAS create some wrappers. So I've spent some time investigating upstream Makefiles, and literally couldn't find the respective targets. I mean, these are quite complex Makefiles, but I'm grepping hard and can't find even a partial match.
As it turns out, these Makefile targets are added by Gentoo-specific patches. And these patches are just horrible. In case of OpenBLAS, they create the wrapper libraries by linking all the relevant .o files from OpenBLAS build, plus the shared OpenBLAS library. So the OpenBLAS symbols relevant to each interface end up duplicated in libblas.so, liblapack.so, etc., and apparently the symbols needed by them are taken from libopenblas.so. The individual interface libraries aren't even linked to one another, so they expose their own duplicate symbols, but use the implementation from OpenBLAS instead.
BLIS is even worse — the patch is simply creating libblas.so and libcblas.so, using all BLIS objects directly, plus symbol visibility to hide symbols irrelevant to the library. So yes, libblis.so, libblas.so and libcblas.so are roughly three separate copies of the same library, differing only in symbol visibility. And of course libcblas.so doesn't use libblas.so.
Truly #GSoC quality.

I've missed my train (the first time in years!) while debugging the latest #GPG issue. This is honestly the single worst piece of software ever written.
They reinvent every single thing and they do it badly. When you try to make it work for everyone (i.e. make it use system resolver and honor proxies), it just falls apart.
I would consider making #gemato use #Sequoia, except that #RustLang discriminates against even more users than GPG bugs do.

Alright new instance new #introduction time. I should really just copy this somewhere so I don't have to keep retyping it, given how much I move.
I'm #queer, and #polyamorous who's about 30 years old at the time of writing. I do tend to hop around fediverse instances, but I'd like to stop that at some point. I liked Friendica a lot, but my last 2 instances died very suddenly, and I decided against trying a third time. My more stationary account is @[email protected], which should be up indefinitely if I don't decide to stop giving omg.lol my money (unlikely, they deserve it!)
I'm a #gamer, and have been for as long as I can remember. I play #FinalFantasyXIV, #GuildWars2, and #WurmOnline for #MMORPG, and I rotate between a few different non MMOs. I tend to play a lot of #VisualNovel, #Mahjong on Riichi City (and hopefully some on FFXIV once cross-DC queues hit NA!), and a lot of #NSFW games. If you have any suggestions on those don't hesitate to DM me, I'm always looking for more!
For some technical hobbies, I'm into #3DPrinting, and I've dabbled in #Soldering to make my own #MechanicalKeyboard. Didn't design it, but I did put it together without a kit :D
Generally I'm very into #FOSS, and #HomeLab. I've also been a #Linux user since 2010. Over the years I've used several flavors of Ubuntu, Debian, EndeavourOS, Garuda Linux, Arch Linux, and currently a #Gentoo user. Also #Emacs is the best piece of software to ever be released.
I'm a #Writer, though I'm currently being very slow writing this novella. Hoping to turn it into a VN, but I can't draw to save my life, and it's real expensive to commission that many images. Might just do a light novel-style thing and throw an image in with each chapter.
For crafts I like #Knitting, and I can #Crochet though do that very infrequently because it hurts. I also do #TabletWeaving, though I'm fairly new at that.
That's just about everything! I do occasionally boost porn, and will probably post my own at some point. Images will be CW'd, text likely will not be, as it causes some distress figuring out what to CW -

Recently started having rEFInd (actually, I think the EFI BTRFS driver) fail to load the kernel ("Not Found"). Infuriating since the kernel works in other filesystems (even BTRFS ones!) and some kernels work fine.
Not sure how to debug.

Okay, so please correct me if I'm wrong about the state of #OpenPGP right now.
So first there's the former #RFC4880bis which is now pursued as "#LibrePGP", used by #GnuPG (and #rnp?), with a "v5" key format, that everyone else seem to looks "politely" at.
Then there's #RFC9580 with a "v6" key format, used by #OpenPGPjs, #SequoiaPGP (and more) but explicitly rejected by GnuPG. However, it seems to be pushed forward under the assumption that GnuPG will yield to pressure.
So we effectively have two incompatible standards, with a "common denominator" of ancient #RFC4880, some tools pursuing one of them with disregard for the other, and a few supporting both for the sake of the users. And #Gentoo is effectively stuck with whatever GnuPG supports, because we need working crypto on all supported platforms, not just the "Rust subset".

Hey uhh #Hurd
Gentoo has caught my attention. I have also had greybeards tell me about dabbling in Hurd and finding it most efficacious for tasks that it's tuned for.
What I'm curious about is porting drivers from Linux - is this a straightforward process that any curious monkey with sufficient determination could learn to do for itself, even with only minimal C experience?

How about considering coming over to #guix @rek2. Maybe you will find what you were looking for in arch and gentoo there. Note the guix community is also actively supporting the #hurd and even ramping it up https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2026/the-64-bit-hurd/

Fun bug in #ZBar discovered while debugging a #SegNo (#Python #QRCode generator library) test failure on #Gentoo with #musl libc.
SegNo defaults to attempting to encode strings as ISO-8859-1 if possible. ZBar defaults to trying to decode them as Big5 first. Most of the time everything works fine.
Let's take a test string from ZBar: "Märchenbücher". When we encode it as ISO-8859-1, we're going to get two high-byte, low-byte sequences: E4 72 for "är" and FC 63 for "üc". The latter sequence maps to a "user defined" character in Big5, and therefore glibc refuses to convert it. However, musl converts it just fine. As a result, ZBar decodes the string as Big5, to "M酺chenb𡡷her".
You could argue that musl behaves wrong. However, note that the former sequence is valid in Big5. So if you shorten the string to just "Märchen", glibc would happily decode its ISO-8859-1 #encoding as Big5, giving you "M酺chen". And yes, if I put that test string into SegNo, I get a QRCode that reproduces the problem on a glibc system.
Does ZBar behave wrong here? Or perhaps SegNo should avoid ISO-8859-1 altogether, and use safer UTF-8 encoding?

@filippo Meanwhile, bootstrapping a current OpenJDK involves compiling multiple ancient packages (each with its own set of outdated dependencies, of course) and then going up all the way from Java 7, version by version.
@stikonas has described this tedious process and developed some ebuilds for Gentoo here: https://git.stikonas.eu/andrius/gentoo-bootstrap
This also applies to Rust in a way, but at least it's not as bad there – not yet, as the old versions might eventually succumb to bitrot, too.
Please, dear programming language community, can we do better at this? For resilience, for reproducibility, for reliability, for portability and for preservation?

What could I be doing right now, on a Friday evening?
Of course filing bugs on random #Python / #RustLang packages requesting a #PyO3 version update and a new release, to support #PyPy 3.11 in #Gentoo. Because obviously the right way to maintain modern Python packages is to rewrite random parts of them in Rust, then neglect updating their dependencies for half a year or more.
Yes, I'm talking about all the packages that don't even support PyO3 0.23.x yet.
And then they'll come and say that we should leave dependency management and security to upstreams.
-
A while ago, I've followed the example given by #Fedora and unbundled ensurepip wheels from #Python in #Gentoo (just checked — "a while ago" was 3 years ago). This had the important advantage that it enabled us to update these wheels along with the actual pip and setuptools packages, meaning new virtual environments would get fresh versions rather than whatever CPython happened to bundle at the time of release.
I had considered using our system packages to prepare these wheels, but since we were already unbundling dependencies back then, that couldn't work. So I just went with fetching upstream wheels from PyPI. Why not build them from source instead? Well, besides feeling unnecessary (it's not like the PyPI wheels are actually binary packages), we probably didn't have the right kind of eclass support for that at the time.
Inspired by @hroncok, today I've tried preparing new revisions of ensurepip packages that actually do build everything from source. So what changed, and why should building from source matter now? Firstly, as part of the wheel reuse patches, we do have a reasonably clean architecture to grab the wheels created as part of the PEP517 build. Secondly, since we're unbundling dependencies from pip and setuptools, we're effectively testing different packages than these installed as ensurepip wheels — and so it would be meaningful to test both variants. Thirdly, building from source is going to make patching easier, and at the very least enable user patching.
While at it, I've refreshed the test suite runs in all three regular packages (pip, setuptools and wheel — we need an "ensurepip" wheel for the last because of test suites). And of course, I hit some test failures in testing the versions with bundled dependencies, and I've discovered a random bug in #PyPy.

Next #inxi is shaping up well, all running in #pinxi now. Came across an ancient distro I'd never heard of, #TDSDE, which apparently preceded Gentoo by a few months. Poor docs, unreliable source builds, but got everything inxi cares about working, and found some weak spots. These corner case distros often expose weak assumptions.
Also locked down #rpm packages, #urpm #eopkg #pisi repo reports, which were not great, or not working.
Took a while to get enough fixes to warrant a new release.

I've started working on adding the #FreeThreading version of #CPython 3.13 to #Gentoo (properly, our previous approach no longer works). Since it's not ABI-compatible with the regular 3.13, we need to make it truly separate — including a new PYTHON_TARGETS flag. Which kinda makes sense, because we'd want to test it explicitly anyway.
One thing lead to another, and now I'm considering major changes to how to we package CPython itself in Gentoo. Long story short, per the current custom we'd be adding the freethreading variant as something like:
dev-lang/python-3.13.0-r100:3.13t
However, because of Portage always insisting on additionally having the newest version installed anyway when only older slots are requested (well, in some scenarios this makes sense, I guess), this would mean all ~arch users would inadvertently get it installed! So I wanted to go for something like this instead:
dev-lang/python-freethreading-3.13.0:3.13t
But in fact, the inadvertent upgrades problem isn't really new. When Python 3.13 was added, ~arch people got it installed, even though their PYTHON_TARGETS didn't want it. Same goes for stable users when it gets stabilized. In fact, this used to lead to breakage when someone used custom scripts that relied on system #Python packages. Just imagine you've got all your dependencies installed for 3.12, and Portage suddenly installs 3.13 and `python` starts calling it by default!
Historically, we've kinda solved that problem by adding dev-lang/python-exec-conf that'd install a default configuration for python-exec that matched PYTHON_TARGETS. However, why not address the deeper issue and stop slotting instead. So I've proposed that going forward, we make them:
dev-lang/python3_14
And since I'm proposing a major change like this, why not go for "python3_13t" instead of "python-freethreading"? Perhaps it's less obvious, but has the advantage of matching PYTHON_TARGETS.

Today #Inea, my ISP, had a major fiber fault — apparently ranging from the Dębiec district of Poznań, all the way south to Czempiń (something like 30 km). What did I discover due to that?
Firstly, I couldn't find any way to find information on current faults anywhere on their website. Finally, I've decided to use the "chat" with their "virtual advisor" (i.e. some stupid LLM). Immediately after opening it and agreeing to the terms of service, it threw a list of current faults at me. Couldn't they have put that somewhere in the website instead?
Secondly, I had a hard time getting #tethering with my phone to work. I couldn't figure out why #DHCP wasn't working. And neither #systemd, nor #Android, provides any useful way to debug this shit, so I've finally tried Wireshark. Using it, I was able to tell what IP the phone is using, gave my PC an address in the same range, and DHCP miraculously started working.
In fact, I do believe it isn't the first time that DHCP didn't work for me until I gave some random IP address to the computer. I admit that I'm not a networking expert, nor would I even call myself a sysadmin, but WTF?!

if Kyber also available in Kleopatra? Thanks
IMHO below:
Who cares? It's often said that the videotape format war and the high-definition optical disc format war were won by whatever the porn industry favoured. I don't know whether this claim about video format wars is true, but I would argue that the LibrePGP vs. RFC 9580 "war" will be won by whatever is favoured by the predominant public key distribution platform.
Currently, that platform is https://keys.openpgp.org which I don't expect to support LibrePGP anytime soon, because it relies on sequoia-openpgp which I don't expect to support the RFC behind LibrePGP as long as it's just an Active Internet-Draft. At least, Sequoia-PGP supported RFC 9580 after it was released in July 2024 (link). So, why should they handle LibrePGP any differently? tbh, even if the RFC behind LibrePGP has the status of a "RFC - Proposed Standard" which I expect it to never get, I don't think Sequoia-PGP will support it.
I for once will rotate my keypair and opt for Sequoia-PGP once this Gentoo bug has been solved. My reasons:
- I expect for RFC 9580 to remain favoured on the predominant public key platform.
- I cannot rely on the GnuPG manpage (link).
