Just updated my gentoo box and some features get problem. All should be solved by running "revdep-rebuild" to re-install some missing library. But there's an interesting bug (?) of wicd after update :). You cannot start wicd daemon with error

g3n2 ~ # /etc/init.d/wicd restart
/etc/init.d/wicd: line 12: syntax error: unexpected end of file
 * ERROR:  /etc/init.d/wicd has syntax errors in it; aborting ...

Take a look at wicd init script, someone who made update for wicd did make a mistake:

#!/sbin/runscript
 2 # Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation
 3 # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
 4
 5 opts="start stop restart"
 6
 7 WICD_DAEMON=/usr/sbin/wicd
 8 WICD_PIDFILE=/var/run/wicd/wicd.pid
 9
10 depend() {

11                   need dbus

 Function depend() has no close parenthesis, and where is start() and stop() function? I don't know.I solved it by adding some line like bellow:

1 #!/sbin/runscript
 2 # Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation
 3 # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
 4
 5 opts="start stop restart"
 6
 7 WICD_DAEMON=/usr/sbin/wicd
 8 WICD_PIDFILE=/var/run/wicd/wicd.pid
 9
10 depend() {
11     need dbus
12     }
13 start() {
14             ebegin "Starting wicd daemon"
15                     "${WICD_DAEMON}" >/dev/null 2>&1
16                             eend $?
17 }
18
19 stop() {
20             ebegin "Stopping wicd daemon"
21                     start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile "${WICD_PIDFILE}"
22                             eend $?
23 }

Who works for the maintenance of wicd on gentoo? wtf

In portage-2.1.8 there's a new emerge --rebuilt-binaries
option that is very useful for people who build binary packages and
install them on multiple computers (using PORTAGE_BINHOST or shared
PKGDIR). The option causes packages to be automatically reinstalled in
cases when rebuilt binary packages are available (due to revdep-rebuild
or similar cases).
Rebuilds are detected by comparison of BUILD_TIME package metadata.
This option is enabled automatically when using binary packages
(--usepkgonly or --getbinpkgonly) together with --update and --deep.

Browse local file: lls, move to local directory lcd

download get

2. sshfs (not an ssh extension, we must install fuse-sshfs to use it)

 hungnv@g3n2 ~ $ eix sshfs

[I] sys-fs/sshfs-fuse

     Available versions:  1.9 ~2.1 2.2

     Installed versions:  2.2(08:46:14 AM 01/27/2010)

     Homepage:            http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html

     Description:         Fuse-filesystem utilizing the sftp service.

hungnv@g3n2 ~ $ sudo emerge -av sys-fs/sshfs-fuse

hungnv@g3n2 ~ $ sshfs vndev.net:/ /vndev

to mount. We browse, cp, edit, delete....like local file and directory.
I didn't use sshfs until yesterday, with me, ssh and sftp are enough. But I should know sshfs and I did not know, so I fail.
We must learn what we never use =.=
