Gentoo sparc: sys-devel/kgcc64 vs. sys-devel/gcc-sparc64 (blocking each other)

If you get this:
[blocks B ] sys-devel/gcc-sparc64 (is blocking sys-devel/kgcc64-3.4.6)

Check this thread on the gentoo forums:
There are a couple of architectures on Gentoo that have a 32-bit userland, but need a 64-bit kernel compiler. kgcc64 is an attempt to provide one package for all of those architectures rather than the gcc- packages that exist now. The way we migrated over to this caused the issue you are seeing.

Basically, you'll need to
emerge --unmerge gcc-sparc64 && emerge sys-devel/kgcc64

Microsoft to pay companies to switch from Google to Live Search

see the following stories:

1. http://battellemedia.com/archives/003447.php

2. http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/10554/532/

3. http://www.ledevoir.com/2007/03/19/135590.html (in French)

The first article describes the program. I also found most comments by the readers worth reading - and altogether they summarize pretty much everything I would have to say about it :o)

Zfone - secured VoIP conversations (SIP)

I came across this project the other day. Apparently it should work with any SIP-based VoIP client. (They list X-Lite, Gizmo and SJphone.)

I haven't had a chance to test it, but I sure will - they provide a source-form linux version. I may even contribute a gentoo e-build, since so far I couldn't find one...

What makes this project even more interesting to me is the fact that Phil Zimmermann, the original creator of PGP, is behind it.

TestDisk / PhotoRec: tool to recover lost files and partitions (Gentoo Linux)

Homepage: http://www.cgsecurity.org/

Description in portage: Multi-platform tool to check and undelete partition, supports reiserfs, ntfs, fat32, ext2/3 and many others. Also includes PhotoRec to recover pictures from digital camera memory.

Installation (Gentoo Linux amd64):

echo 'app-admin/testdisk ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo 'app-admin/testdisk jpeg ntfs' >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -av app-admin/testdisk

To use it, just run 'photorec' as root in a shell window. Despite the name, photorec will find and recover many files, not only pictures. You'll find the full list on the PhotoRec homepage.

I haven't tried TestDisk yet, but PhotoRec has been useful several times already.

Flash, RealPlayer & Firefox on x86_64 Gentoo

It's as simple as:
# required as of now to get Flash 9
echo 'net-www/netscape-flash ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av netscape-flash
echo 'media-video/realplayer nsplugin' >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -av realplayer
echo 'net-www/nspluginwrapper ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av nspluginwrapper

Now I just need to figure out how to get sound when realplay is launched from Firefox (it works with the Flash plugin or when realplay is launched from a regular shell).
