ascii_field: so the machine's local arch is used
ascii_field: i.e. if there is anyone here with a linux box on which any of the bins built thus far fail to run, something is very very wrong ☟︎
ascii_field: mod6: since this is a static bin, the target - in the usual sense of the word - is a particular kernel abi, rather than gentoo, centos, etc
mod6: we're gonna nead help testing soon though. gentoo is one of our targets
mod6: joecool: ok good deal. i think this guide is more for people who haven't gentoo'd yet.
joecool: mod6: sorry for the delay, i've been running no multilib on my systems for over 5 years now

mod6: i still need to update the old how-to-patch guide etc. im actually pretty much complete on that... as soon as we give the green light on the test bundle i'll post my changes for that too.
cazalla: yes i know but i would not be using the gentoo install guide unless i was moving on to the next guide, but i will have another go at some point
mod6: section 0x9? are you talking about the how-to-patch guide? it's a separate thing.
mod6: realpath should be on there by default iirc. but perhaps its not?
mod6: and perhaps as soon as we send up the patched test bundle, someone could try compiling the static R.I. on there.
cazalla: mod6, fwiw i used your gentoo install guide earlier in the week with no problems (couldn't get bitcoin up and running though, got stuck at auth.sh though with some error about REALPATH)
mod6: basically, it's just going through this step by step: http://thebitcoin.foundation/gentoo-stage3-amd64-nomultilib-guide.txt
mod6: ah nice, we wanted to ensure our gentoo amd64 nomulitlib guide worked well for at least 1 third party before we put it out there to the list.
joecool: mod6: what are you needing tested? i have a few machines on gentoo
mod6: if anyone else wants to test the gentoo guide, gimme a holler. would like to get it verified before the end of the month.
mod6: well, no worries. gentoo is a pain but the guide makes it pretty easy - hopefully.

assbot: Logged on 24-07-2015 15:08:15; mod6: i'm wondering if i shouldn't just: A: 1) shutdown bitcoind, 2) restart bitcoind. If no further blocks are pulled, B: 1) shutdown bitcoind, 2) update time, 3) restart bitcoind
mircea_popescu: <mod6> i'll let it go for a while. maybe it'll work itself out. <<< pretty soon something like this is what ;;ud bitcoin will return.

gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Palantir | Had a Palantir incident last night and I'm second guessing whether it was a good idea..." Person 2: "Yeah man, sometimes you have to be careful about Palantir.
funkenstein_: The Palantíri were made by the Ñoldor in Eldamar, possibly by Fëanor himself during his time in Aman during the Elder Days in the Time of the Trees, and then given by the Elves to the Númenóreans, who kept them as heirlooms until the Fall of Númenor during the late Second Age; seven of these stones were rescued and brought to Middle-earth by Elendil and his sons and set in well-guarded towers throughout the Realms in
