please quote actual missing entries, and make sure you look at latest baselayout-2 first as it was updated recently
(In reply to comment #2) > please quote actual missing entries, > and make sure you look at latest > baselayout-2 first as it was updated recently Sorry, vapier, but please allow me to disagree: 1.) Baselayout 2.0 is still *not* considered as being _stable_ yet: # equery list -p baselayout | grep "2.0" [-P-] [M~] sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0 (0) [-P-] [M~] sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.1 (0) 2.) I *have* cited the missing - actually my first lines (comment #0): > /etc/services > should include the numbers officially provided by IANA: > http://www.iana.org/ > http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers <--- This _is_ _the_ list ! My central point is exactly that IF we have a world-wide central authority == IANA that all people agree upon, THEN not an individual (!me && !you) should decide about a subset ... BUT we should cohere and include the actual list into our current _stable_ list. Afterwards, besides upgrading this list IFF IANA does, there is no need to bother anymore - PRIVATE numbers can be easily added by every individual at the end: <cite> PORT NUMBERS (last updated 2009-06-19) <----- The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the Well Known Ports, the Registered Ports, and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports. ... The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535 <----- ... </cite> If you look into the corresponding files of eg. Fedora-11 and others, you will discover just exactly this latest respective IANA list - and exacly that is being updated by the respective package managers. Easy, isn't it? [ No more need to brood - quarrel - decide ... :) ] For the time being, I'm doing exactly that, manually ;) Yours respectfully Manfred
(ADDENDUM to comment #3) > Afterwards, besides upgrading this list IFF IANA does, Perhaps it could make sense to split such "incorporated" config files into a separate ebuild? There is no need to upgrade the whole baselayout just because e.g. IANA adds a bunch of new / changed Port definitions ...
(In reply to comment #2) > please quote actual missing entries Actually, the reference to adhere to is already cited in Gentoo's /etc/services' header itself: <cite> # Some References: # http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers </cite>
except the IANA list is 800kB of mostly crap people dont use. we are not going to install the complete file. name a service *you actually care about* and i'll look into adding it to baselayout-2.
(In reply to comment #6) > except the IANA list is 800kB of mostly > crap people dont use. ... But they take the burden to get them registered ?! > we are not going to install the complete file. "we" is who to play God deciding over (Un-)Importance against users? > name a service *you actually care about* and > i'll look into adding it to baselayout-2. Examplum Gratia: The latest case I stumbled over resulted from the missing IANA assigned port number/service names for Informix DBMS not being available: sqlexec 9088/tcp sqlexec-ssl 9089/tcp Notabene: These belong to the Officially Registered Ports ! Sorry, but I really do not understand what international agreements are made for, then ... Just in order to spare ~200K of disk space (c.f. below), "you" take over the burden to play God ? I guess he will have a good laugh ... You are welcome to close this bug as "Worksforme" once again. I will continue to update our "/etc/services" myself. #################################################################### $ grep "/" port-numbers | grep -v "^#" | grep -v " Reserved" | grep -v " Unassigned" > port-numbers.2 $ ; && delete the comments $ ll port-numbers* 764K port-numbers 451K port-numbers.2 272K port-numbers.3 <--- too big a size in order to comply ... ? $ ll /etc/services 36K /etc/services <---
(In reply to comment #7) > (AADDENDUM to comment #6) The price is paid by the time & concern of users that have to identify why applications tested as being functional elsewhere don't work upon gentoo. Is that really worth it?
sounds like the existing /etc/services covers all of your use cases so there's nothing to be done here
hmm, bugzilla delivered e-mail out of order. your missing services are "sqlexec" and friends, that i can add. as for the rest of the "god" bullshit, go spin your crap somewhere else. bugzilla is not your blog to spam as you feel like.
