It forces graphic support to be built so that the version of links present in LiveCDs allows a better browsing experience. It would be nice if -r1 could be stabilized in arches for which LiveCDs are built and others too if there is time. Thanks, Marcelo j4rg0n@gentoo.org 2005-06-26 13:23:57 0000 Stable ppc-macos weeve@gentoo.org 2005-06-26 15:25:26 0000 Does this fix properly take into account arches who have masked the graphics useflags for links2? For those of us archs without VESA or VGA compatible framebuffers, this might be a potential issue. vanquirius@gentoo.org 2005-06-26 16:21:32 0000 Good point and no, it does not. Here is the relevant part of the ebuild: if use fbcon || use livecd; then myconf="${myconf} --with-fb" else myconf="${myconf} --without-fb" fi An easy hack around it is to wrap this condition so that arches that do not have framebuffer support do not pass --with-fb when the livecd flag is enabled. Other ideas are welcome. Just FYI, the livecd flag also forces the options --enable-graphics and --with-libjpeg, although I don't think those should be a problem. corsair@gentoo.org 2005-06-27 00:12:10 0000 stable on ppc64 wormo@gentoo.org 2005-06-27 22:16:17 0000 stable on ppc This is going to look really nice on those live CDs... gustavoz@gentoo.org 2005-06-28 06:36:15 0000 Stable on sparc. Weeve: it really doesn't matter, since links starts up as text-mode by default unless you invoke it "links -driver fb" where it'll work if you have gpm working and a framebuffer. That being said, it works on sparc with fb. It should probably be handled in the livecd with some alias to invoke it in fb mode, or just document the invocation mode for that (though it'll require gpm running too). herbs@gentoo.org 2005-06-29 05:52:20 0000 Stable on amd64, killerfox@gentoo.org 2005-07-03 11:16:16 0000 Stable on hppa yoswink@gentoo.org 2005-07-11 17:01:42 0000 Stable on alpha.
