Testing the corner cases
http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ articles/ 2008/ 09/ 02/ testing-the-corner-casesOne interesting thing of using chroots to check things out is that often enough you stumble across different corner cases when you get to test one particular aspect of packages. For instance, when I was testing linking collisions, I found a lot of included libraries.

uClibc testing
http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ articles/ 2008/ 09/ 01/ uclibc-testingAs I said on What did Enterprise do?, I had (and have again) a series of chroots I use for testing particular setups; I have, for instance, one running OpenPAM that can tell me whether the software in the tree have the proper dependencies (either sys-libs/pam if it wants Linux-PAM or virtual/pam if it works with OpenPAM).

Respecting CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, reality testing!
http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ articles/ 2008/ 08/ 31/ respecting-cflags-and-cxxflags…As I have written in my post Flags and flags, I think that one way out of the hardened problem would be to actually respect the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS the user requests so that they actually apply to the ebuilds. Unfortunately, not all the ebuilds in the tree respect the flags, and finding out which ones do and which ones don’t hasn’t been, up to now, an easy task.

For A Parallel World. Case Study n.3: temporary files naming
http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ articles/ 2008/ 08/ 31/ for-a-parallel-world-case-stud…A far less common problem than the last two I have written about, today I wish to analyse the failure in media-gfx/sam2p I reported. I have found similar problems before, and thus I think it’s another case worth talking about although the fix is very quick.

For A Parallel World. Case Study n.2: misknowing your make rules
http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ articles/ 2008/ 08/ 29/ for-a-parallel-world-case-stud…Here comes another case study about parallel make failures and fixes. This time I’m going to write about a much less common, and more difficult to understand, type of failure. I have spotted and fixed this failure in gtk# (yes I have it installed).

Warnings, to keep from doing the wrong thing
http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ articles/ 2008/ 08/ 28/ warnings-to-keep-from-doing-th…In the IT world we’re obviously full of practises that, albeit working, are very much hinted against because risky, broken on different setups or just stupid. Many of these practises are usually frequent enough either because they can be easy to apply without knowing, or because they were documented somewhere and people read and spread it.

Thinkpad T61
http://the-gay-bar.com/ index.php?/ archives/ 177-Thinkpad-T61/Turns out that I could run MacOSX on this laptop, I can run the installer (a client wanted to test it on my machine). Now how can I make this laptop feel clean again? On the other hand: I could write a complete, fair and unbiased (as it is my usual style ) review of the abomination that is OSX.
