|
|
I have been testing and getting used to Gentoo in the past week or so. Love it!
I am trying to set up a server for:
web: apache, php... etc
email: postfix, sasl, imap, pop, smtp... etc
db: mysql
What's the best optimal USE flag settings for web-centric server setup. The current setup included in Caker's image is for general purpose...
Thank you... |

This is what I have: Code: USE="nls imap xml -gpm -X -gtk -gnome -alsa -qt GD mysql ssl maildir -xfree -kde apache2"
This box is running apache/php/mysql for web and qmail/vpopmail/courier for email. |

Here's what I've got:
Code: maildir sasl -X -qt mysql apache2 imap -gpm -cups
I almost always use the --verbose argument when running emerge. It will display all the USE flags (and their values) for every package you specify. It looks like this:
Code: root@linode root # emerge -vp apache
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] net-www/apache-2.0.49-r1 +berkdb -doc +gdbm -ipv6 -ldap -threads 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
If you have gentoolkit installed, you can then do this
Code: root@linode root # equery uses =net-www/apache-2.0.49-r1
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : (U) Col 1 - Current USE flags ]
[ : (I) Col 2 - Installed With USE flags ]
U I [ Found these USE variables in : net-www/apache-2.0.49-r1 ]
+ + berkdb : Adds support for sys-libs/db (Berkeley DB for MySQL)
+ + gdbm : Adds support for sys-libs/gdbm (GNU database libraries)
- - ldap : Adds LDAP support (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
- - threads : Enable thread support
- - ipv6 : Adds support for IP version 6
- - doc : Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc)
If you need more info than equery provides, check out Gentoo Forums. You'll find everything there. Hope this helps. |

I'm not a Gentoo user, but I'm interested in why you gentoo users specify things like -gtk when you already have -X ? I would assume that not including X would mean X graphical libraires like gtk are automatically excluded as well .... no?

Everyone should be a gentoo user :) We specify- gtk also because some packages still require gtk even if -X is already specified. I can't name any package nor remember experiencing this but i know its possible. I have -gtk -X specified into my make.conf anyway.
For web, just make sure you have apache2 gd mysql ssl maildir -X -qt -gtk ... these are the ones I added besides the default one that Chris provided. |
