Προσωρινά τα gentoo-aware services (gentoo rsync and http ftp distribution files) θα είναι down.
Η επαναλειτουργία αναμένεται να συμβεί το αργότερο την Δευτέρα (9/6/2008) το πρωί. Ωστόσο υπάρχει αρκετά μεγάλη πιθανότητα να μην εξαντληθεί αυτό το χρονικό διάστημα και να γυρίσουν πάλι οι υπηρεσίες online σήμερα το βράδυ (το νωρίτερο). Σε κάθε περίπτωση θα ενημερωνεται το παρόν για κάθε εξέλιξη (σαν comment (σχόλιο)).
Συγνώμη εκ των προτέρων για την όποια αναστάτωση προκαλεί η αναβάθμιση.
First of all; DO NOT PANIC.
Of course what you did is terribly stupid but it is fixable. Some history (if you are in panic jump to the next paragraph. If you are not sit back kick off your shoes and enjoy the melodies (c) offspring ). What you did is terribly stupid because python is the heart of gentoo package manager (yeah I know who could think of choosing python for such a critical task but hey! someone did). The python is long gone and with it the whole package management. No more emerge
or maybe not? Take a look at how the packages builders are designed for gentoo and then you might have understood what your mistake was. And I insist pointing that out.
Well some quick words of advice for the faint in heart in a step by step basis;
- Download a gentoo python distribution eg Python 2.4.4. You download it with #wget ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo/distfiles/Python-2.4.4.tar.bz2
- Unbzip it with #tar jxvf Python-2.4.4.tar.bz2
- Enter the flattened directory; #cd Python-2.4.4
- Configure the Python distribution with : # ./configure –with-fpectl –infodir=/usr/share/info/ –mandir=/usr/share/man
- build the distribution with # make
- and then install it to the system with: # make install prefix=/usr
- now if you are lucky the emerge should work: # emerge python
If the above step by step tutorial works you have to consider yourself VERY lucky. If it doesn’t try w-getting another Python version and cross your fingers. If you like me thinking of trying the above for educational purposes (gentoo without python at all) ONLY then I have to say that this is NOT a good idea. In fact it is a terrible moronic idea and yours, mine and everyone’s picture that even thinks about it should be in the vocabulary next to the word STUPID, even if that person did it just to check out a gentoo without python!
