#gentoo — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #gentoo, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Been updating the OS on my old faithful (Panasonic CF-53), as well as setting up Gentoo on the Argon One Up CM5.

    Package builds are demonstrably faster on the CM5 than the CF-53. As in big builds like `webkit-gtk` are building a lot faster on the CM5 than they are on the CF-53.

    The CF-53 is a Core i5-3320M; hyperthreaded dual-core x86-64 running 2.6GHz, there's 8GB RAM.
    The CM5 is a Broadcom BCM2712; quad-core ARM Cortex A76 running at 2.4GHz, and the module I have sports 16GB RAM.

    The CM5 is leaving the old machine in the dust in all areas except video acceleration… haven't quite got that working in X11 yet (I'll move to Wayland when it's ready… it isn't now for my use case).

    I guess I'll know more once I get more of my standard desktop applications up and running.

  6. Zero days since #CPython broke the extension ABI at the very last minute after asking everyone repeatedly to test prereleases. And of course they don't bother tracking ABI changes in any way, so they could at least give people heads up that important pieces of their system will start segfaulting after the upgrade. All they can offer is a knee-jerk response of "we never promised ABI stability".

    And yes, this is a huge PITA for #Gentoo users who opted in to helping out.

  16. #PSA to #Gentoo users: Please don't upgrade to #CPython 3.14.0b4, that release is borked and causes segfaults in random packages. I've just pushed a mask but warning in case you hit the upgrade before it reaches you. We'll investigate when we have more time.

  31. So I wanted to unbundle #uChardet from #cChardet #Python package.

    It didn't build against system uchardet 0.0.8. So I've checked, and it turns out cchardet is using some old patched fork of uchardet. Ugh.

    Fortunately, upstream added the "missing" function too, with a different API (that's not really a problem), but they didn't make a release in 4 years. Ugh.

    I could at least replace the old patched uchardet with upstream uchardet, right? Except now I'm getting test failures over misdetected encodings. 0.0.8 works fine there. Though the particular test doesn't look very realistic (note all the repetitions):

    My decade-old Brother PT-2700 working on Gentoo Linux with both the command-line ptouch-print utility and the graphical ptouch-rs [Rust] application. I also built ptouch-rs successfully on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspberry Pi OS "Trixie.".
