Yea I do recall i had maintained several overlays and found the way they implemented it to be great. Much easier than running your arch repo... Though its been so long I dont remember how to do it off hand other than it just sits a directory in your system you point to with config.
@abloo It has been a few years since I actually used gentoo honestly. But I do recall it being rather trivial to insert your own modified version of a package.
@abloo While arch has been very managable I will admit that I have had some trouble with the dependency rats nest as well, especially when you try to delete a dependency or revert to an older one.
Sadly one of the big issues with a rolling system that aggressively purges older versions and relies heavily on AURs that may need said versions.
Sometimes i miss my Gentoo days just because they would actually maintain quite a few older versions for exactly that reason.
@abloo yea but then why are the other packages claiming they depend on it... iw ouldnt expect an indirect dependency to be reported that way....
@abloo im running arch here too and have some of those packages. I dont think i have wayland installed. I will look a bit closer. That is a bit stupid though considering xorg isnt even close to being officially deprecated yet
@abloo I suspect those things need either wayland OR xorg and perhaps you just dont have xorg?
@noelle They just spaced it out to ensure you'd pronounce it in french :)
This video has exactly the right amount of sexism in it.
@manu Funny, its almost like I made the whole thing up in an attempt to make a joke... doesnt sound like me at all though :)
@hans_w what does that have to do with the post?
@louisrcouture monumentally shitty.
@voidabyss Cute tits and Great tits are both the same bird :)
@Bradley_JF I am more than happy to try searching for "great tit" on multiple search engines... for ummm.. science.
@hans_w Hehehe that is almost as good :)
@olamundo Ahh the illusive great tit, almost as contested as the yeti/bigfoot himself.
Ever since I met my first french canadian I knew one day I'd have to visit... hopefully some day soon. There is a slight possibility I was biased by the fact that she was the most beautiful woman I had ever set eyes on at the time as a hormone infected 14 year old :)
That said I've checked out french culture, and had a small taste of Canadian, so would be very interested to see how the french Canadian culture compares.
