First ingredient is a named meat product.
Uses by-products, low quality grains and other controversial fillers.
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product. This is chicken inclusive of its water content which, once removed as it must be to create a dry food, will leave the ingredient weighing around 20% of its wet weight. It is thus unlikely that this is the true first ingredient in the food but would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list.
The second ingredient is by-products. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. We recommend avoiding any pet food using such ingredients. The AAFCO definition of chicken by-product meal is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice.
The main grain in the food is corn. Corn is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems.
The inclusion of a second meat product (fish meal 4th on ingredient list) is appreciated. However the manufacturer does not claim to use ethoxyquin-free sources (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish meal, and that is banned from use in human food because is believed to be carcinogenic).
Beet pulp is another controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food especially so high on the ingredient list. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product.

The Contemporary Employee Handbook: Anticipating the Pitfalls Associated with New TechnologiesAugust 28, 2014 – Articles InsideCounsel
This article was originally published on InsideCounsel.com on August 28, 2014. Reprinted with permission from the August 28 issue of Inside Counsel. (c) 2014 InsideCounsel. Further duplication without permission is prohibited. All rights reserved.
Technology's strength can also be its downfall in the workplace: It facilitates the quick and easy gathering of information and allows for instantaneous dissemination to multiple recipients. The immediate availability of social media, and employees' access to the Internet generally, can give rise to a bevy of abuses. Savvy companies will anticipate the potential pitfalls associated with new technologies and ensure that their employee handbooks are sufficiently current and flexible to address them appropriately.
Employers should evaluate their vulnerabilities when crafting their social media, email and Internet usage policies, and not just from the perspective of today's technology. Perhaps the most ripe area for abuse now and in the future is the unauthorized dissemination of confidential and proprietary business information or trade secrets. The prevalence of smart phones with cameras, and the promise of wearable technologies, means that employees or visitors can upload and share confidential information in an instant.
Companies should define the confidential information that they intend to protect specifically and consistently in all of their policies and restrictive covenant agreements. Policies should put employees on notice that, regardless of the medium or technology at issue, confidential information is not to be shared outside the company without the appropriate authorization. Employees who telecommute or perform work outside of the traditional office setting should be instructed to safeguard any confidential information. The penalties for violating these policies need to be strict and applied evenly.
While companies cannot predict what the preferred social media outlet of the future will be, they can structure their policies to withstand potential legal challenges while anticipating probable abuses. One should assume that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will continue to come down on companies that discipline their employees for engaging in anything that looks like concerted activity. In the social media context, the NLRB has taken a broad view of what constitutes concerted activity, and even "liking" a post could be protected concerted speech. Defining confidential information will make any prohibition on its unauthorized use more likely to survive a challenge from the NLRB.
Employers also continue to be susceptible to harassment and other discrimination claims arising from the use of social media and technology generally. Policies should prohibit the posting or other transmission of any threatening, harassing or otherwise discriminatory comments about other employees or customers. Non-harassment policies should not limit the prohibited conduct to email or the Internet; employees should be precluded from sending inappropriate messages using any technology that the company provides at any time. Employees should be encouraged to report any messages that they find offensive or discriminatory and be provided with a clear reporting mechanism and assured that any complaints will be investigated.
The intersection of employer interests in the security of their data and other confidential information and employee privacy issues will continue to be an area of concern for all companies. Internet and email usage policies should notify employees that they have no expectation of privacy in their use of company systems and equipment, although employers should tread carefully when monitoring may involve the review of employees' personal or privileged email communications.
Even more challenging issues accompany the increasing use of newer technologies like facial recognition software, fingerprint scanning and other biometric technologies. Some states restrict employers' use of biometric data on privacy grounds. Certain scanning devices also may give rise to religious and disability-related accommodation issues. For example, the covering of portions of one's face for religious reasons may interfere with facial recognition software. Companies should ensure that their policies put employees on notice of the types of technologies that they may use and afford employees an opportunity to seek reasonable accommodations for any religious or disability-related restrictions implicated by the technology.
When companies identify their vulnerabilities in advance and craft policies that anticipate the potential issues and risks with new technologies, they will need to revise their policies less frequently. That said, companies should review their employee handbooks at least annually, with an eye toward updating any practices that are no longer in effect, ensuring that all confidential information is protected and addressing any intervening changes in leave laws or similar legislation. Regardless of how employees receive the handbook, in paper or electronic form, they should "sign" (virtually or otherwise) acknowledgement forms, signifying that they have received and are responsible for reviewing the handbooks.
Handbook policies, if done well, can help companies respond seamlessly to new technologies. Companies should take the time to strategize about their vulnerabilities and technology-related needs when crafting their employee handbooks. Forward-thinking policies will ensure that companies have the flexibility they need to respond to any challenges posed by technology.

EDMONTON—It was Alberta's own version of the Civil War, pitting Conservatives against conservatives. And the Conservatives won. The Progressive Conservatives, that is.
They won despite the polls showing they were about to go down to defeat. They won because Albertans weren't really ready for the kind of drastic change the Wildrose promised. They won because of that one word, "progressive."
It was a word that PC leader Alison Redford emphasized throughout the campaign, the word that helped her win the party's leadership against stiff odds last October. It was the word the party used to great effect to convince traditional supporters of the Liberals to switch their votes to PC for the first time to head off a Wildrose majority.
In the end, it wasn't even close. The PCs won around 58 seats (as I write this) and the Wildrose threat that had appeared so vigorous throughout the campaign withered on the vine. The Wildrose still managed to win official Opposition status in the 22-seat range at press time but that is far from the 40-plus seats the party was expected to win according to virtually every public opinion poll.
The NDP managed to win four seats, up from the two they held at dissolution, making the party a winner of sorts on Monday night. Liberals dropped to three seats and lost official Opposition status but managed to avoid electoral extinction.
Wildrose leader Danielle Smith ran a smooth campaign and proved herself a capable politician but there will be a sense of disappointment this morning among her supporters who thought they were on the verge of an upset victory.
If the Wildrose had won and defeated the 41-year-old Tory dynasty, it would have been an election for the history books. Instead, it will be one for the political science books, as experts explain how pollsters got it so wrong.
"Those polls did not reflect the reality that we were seeing on the ground," said Stephen Carter, the PC party's chief campaign strategist who also ran Redford's leadership campaign last year. "Some pollsters are going to have to write some letters explaining where they went wrong within their methodology because it's very clear that they did. Their methodology was off."
Carter had been insisting for the past week that his party had turned the corner and that Calgarians, who had flirted with the Wildrose, were shifting back to the PCs. He attributed it to Redford sticking to her message that the world was changing and Alberta needed to move forward under her leadership, not backward with the Wildrose.
"It was just solid hard work getting out there and listening to people presenting a positive vision of what Alberta could be and our role and place within the country and within the world," said Carter who has just solidified his reputation as a political miracle worker. He ran the come-from-behind victory for Naheed Nenshi's mayoralty race in 2010 and followed it up with Redford's unexpected leadership win in 2011. And now he's helped orchestrate Redford's own "miracle on the prairies" victory that seemed so impossible just a few weeks ago.
Carter admits the PCs were trailing the Wildrose in the second week of the campaign. Redford stumbled out of the gate by having to apologize for the "no-meet" legislative committee. She belatedly ordered her caucus members to give back "every dollar" they had received for being on the committee that hadn't met since 2008.
She seemed to be on the defensive for the first three weeks but things shifted the last week of the campaign with the pro-Caucasian, anti-gay "bozo eruptions" from Wildrose candidates. Smith refused to condemn her candidates and tried to paint her party as the victim of intolerance. By doing so, she appeared to be the one tolerating intolerance. And then there was Smith's own bozo eruption when she insisted the jury was still out on the science of human-induced climate change. That got her loudly booed from the audience at a leaders' debate hosted by CBC.
That may have been the turning point, the moment when Albertans wondered with some alarm what it would be like to have a premier who would potentially embarrass the province on the world stage by denying global warming. It wasn't just our reputation at stake but our economy that relies on exploiting, selling and shipping bitumen from the oilsands.
Redford seized on the moment, pointing out that the Wildrose was a step in the wrong direction.
"On Tuesday morning the world is going to be watching to see who the premier of Alberta is and what the future of Alberta is and I think that's what this is coming down to," argued Redford. "Which party is articulating a vision for the future of this province that truly reflects how Albertans are feeling about their future?"
The answer: the Progressive Conservatives.
Tories might be saying this morning they knew all along they'd win. They didn't. They were not a happy bunch two weeks ago. The polls were likely very accurate then. What the polls failed to show was the PC astounding comeback, the comeback that had PC party president Bill Smith utter one word when he saw the results: "Wow!"
It is a word that progressives will be uttering this morning, those within and outside the PC party.
And there might be those who feel they've been had, that they felt obligated to vote for the PCs not because they liked the PCs but because they really didn't like the Wildrose and its promise to reduce the civil service, introduce more private health care and give away Dani-Dollars.
Those progressives didn't want the Wildrose to win but they likely also didn't want the PCs to win such a comfortable majority.

A Jacksonville mother who lost an infant last year to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has organized a bicycle event to raise money for research to prevent others from feeling the pain of losing a baby.
A Jacksonville mother who lost an infant last year to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has organized a bicycle event to raise money for research to prevent others from feeling the pain of losing a baby.
Barrett Edward Tallman lived from Aug. 29, 2011, to March 15, 2012. He died while taking a nap at his daycare.
Named in his honor, Biking for Barrett is part of the national effort Spring for SIDS by the American SIDS Institute to raise funds and awareness. SIDS is an infant death not predicted by medical history and remains unexplained after a thorough forensic autopsy and detailed death scene investigation, according to information from the organization.
Barrett�s mother, Katie Tallman said she loved her son and wanted to do something to honor his memory while helping to ensure other mothers didn�t have to endure what she did.
�Our family is committed to raising money to fund research so that someday parents won�t suffer the grief and anguish of such a devastating and unexpected loss,� Tallman said.
She encouraged all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends of someone with an infant, or anyone who wants to have a child of their own one day, to participate.
�Everything the community has done since Barrett died showcases how wonderful Jacksonville is and the support that we provide others in times of need,� she said.
Event participants will bike through the Northwoods neighborhood or walk the track at Jacksonville High School. The Sunday event, which is scheduled from 3 to 7 p.m., with the ride beginning at 4 p.m., includes a meal as part of the $25 entrance fee, $15 for riders/walkers 12 and younger.
Activities are meant for the entire family. Sponsors include Platinum Corral, Sanders Ford, Don Williamson Nissan, and more than two dozen others.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — The Boy Scouts of America will not immediately have to turn over 27 years of so-called "perversion files" the group keeps on sexual abuse complaints against adults involved in the organization, a Texas appeal court has ruled.
A former scout who says he was sexually assaulted by a now-imprisoned former scoutmaster has filed suit in San Antonio against the national Boy Scouts and the local group in San Antonio. His attorneys want the Boy Scouts of America to turn over internal files on scout leaders dating from 1985 to last year.
State District Judge Martha Tanner ruled in August that the Irving-based Scouts would have to release those files to the teenager's attorneys. The 4th Texas Court of Appeals on Thursday granted the Scouts' request to stay that portion of her order.
The public release in October of files dating from 1959 to 1985 revealed a cover-up of decades of sexual abuse, as Scout leadership sought to shield scoutmasters and other adult leaders from criminal charges. The national Scouts organization has said it now requires any suspicion of abuse to be reported to law enforcement.
Attorneys for the former scout are expected to file a response to the appeals court sometime next week.
Paul Mones, a Portland, Ore., attorney who is one of the lawyers representing the teen, said on Friday that he didn't know what the more recent files might contain.
"We do know, as does the rest of the United States, what's contained in 1959 to 1985," Mones said. "So over the last 27 years, obviously that's something that we believe … will be important."
Kelly Clark, who worked with Mones on a successful $20 million lawsuit against the Scouts in Portland, said he thought the newer files could show whether or not the national Scouts group had kept its promise to enact measures that better protect children.
Among other measures, the Scouts now prohibit one-on-one activities between adult and youth, require criminal background checks and include an insert for parents about child protection in the handbook issued to new scouts.
Adults also are told to report any suspected child abuse to authorities, even if doing so would not be required by state law.
Clark said he wanted to know if the number of reported abuse incidents had declined in the last few decades.
"If we find out that the numbers are still significant, to me, that adds fuel to the fire," Clark said Friday.
Boy Scouts spokesman Deron Smith said in a statement that the files are maintained "solely to help our organization remove and keep out individuals deemed to be unfit leaders."
"The BSA believes confidentiality of the Files helps to encourage prompt reporting of abuse," Smith said.
The teen's lawsuit, filed last year, accuses the national and San Antonio Scouts of not doing enough to keep him safe.
The teen alleges he was abused for two years by a former assistant scoutmaster, James Hiatt, who is serving multiple 60-year sentences for four counts of aggravated sexual assault with a child and five counts of indecency with a child. The Associated Press typically does not identify victims of sexual assault.
In the organization's petition to the appeals court, lawyers for the Boy Scouts say their "ineligible volunteer files" are "confidential and part of an ongoing internal system used … to allow for background checks for the protection of Scouts."

Devin Gardner ran for a 1-yard touchdown in overtime and Michigan's defense responded with a stop, giving the Wolverines a wild 38-31 win over Northwestern on Saturday.
Trevor Siemian threw a 15-yard pass to Tony Jones with 3:59 left in regulation to give the Wildcats a 31-28 lead and Gardner threw an interception on the next snap.
Northwestern couldn't pick up enough first downs to run out the clock in regulation and the Wolverines took advantage.
Gardner heaved a 53-yard pass to Roy Roundtree to set up Brendan Gibbons' 26-yard field goal with 2 seconds left to force OT.
The Wolverines (7-3, 5-1 Big Ten) barely prevented Northwestern (6-4, 4-2) from winning consecutive games in Ann Arbor for the first time since the 1934 and 1936 seasons.
The comeback victory keeps Michigan's hopes alive of winning a Big Ten title for the first time since 2004.

Paradigm shifts in computing are sometimes marked by organic growth as new platforms and tools pop up. So it is with cloud computing as Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions help accelerate adoption of the cloud model. Without a capital outlay, PaaS enables developers to create social, business and other applications and enables independent software vendors (ISVs) to create Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
PaaS solutions have particular appeal for startups, projects with ambitious deadlines, and organizations with a limited budget for capital expenditures. PaaS can remove the capital expenditure roadblock without the burden of diminished functionality. The richness and variety of development environments is one reason the PaaS model has appeal for system integrators and developers, particularly those building web applications. Suites such as SAP and Epicor will undoubtedly increase cloud adoption among business users, but PaaS has much to offer today to those who are building and integrating systems. PaaS users can create custom solutions and make full use of business process modeling, workflow tools, object modeling, data modeling and packaged applications.
Developers whose expertise is Service Oriented-Architecture (SOA), Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA), enterprise or Windows application development can find a cloud solution that lets them leverage their expertise. They can host existing tools and applications in a private cloud or use a cloud infrastructure provider such as Amazon EC2 and Terremark vCloudExpress. Some may choose the PaaS option because it can provide a rich tool set without a large capital outlay. PaaS can take several forms, including platforms for creating social, enterprise, database, analytics, reporting, office suite integration, and other applications. Companies such as NetSuite and Salesforce.com first released a SaaS product and then followed up by offering the underlying platform as a service. Other PaaS offerings include Aptana Cloud Connect, GigaSpaces XAP, Google AppEngine, LongJump, Microsoft Windows Azure, Rackspace Cloud Sites and Zoho Creator.
With a variety of application suites, development platforms and deployment environments, PaaS provides a range of choices for the public and private cloud. Some platform providers offer a catalog of existing applications and model-based or template-based creation of new applications. Others offer suites for business process modeling (BPM), customer relationship management (CRM), or enterprise resource planning (ERP). There are platforms that offer proprietary technology for development and deployment and various PaaS providers offer a Java, .NET, and Web 2.0 development environment.
Notable differences between traditional enterprise computing and cloud deployments include elasticity, location independence and multi-instance or multi-tenant applications. Servers can be located in different locations, even different geographical regions and an application doesn't know the location of resources it uses. Implicit with a robust cloud application is elastic processing power and storage, load balancing, server failover and running in a virtualized environment. There are web services APIs for invoking cloud services and tools for monitoring applications in the cloud. Multi-level security should be integral to the architecture of cloud applications that require access to confidential data.
Beyond those defining characteristics of a cloud application, complexity, integration and run-time environments can vary. Some developers are doing ad hoc projects marked by little or no integration with disparate applications, services and data sources. For such projects, a developer might need only a minimalist PaaS for developing web (JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Ruby), Java or .NET applications. Building industrial-strength applications or an SOA for the cloud calls for a feature-rich PaaS with data modeling, process modeling, web services, workflow, collaboration and a services bus.

Gallery: Prince Charles and Camilla in love
As Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, make their third tour of Canada as a couple, Canadians will have a chance to see the future monarch and his wife up close for a few days — a few days that will undoubtedly show the couple's great affection for one another.
Increasingly, news photographers have captured the couple smiling, laughing and putting a gentle hand on one another in full view of the public eye. At the recent funeral of the Duchess's brother, Mark Shand, Prince Charles was seen holding his wife's hand, comforting her as she openly wept.
The images are in stark contrast to the perception of the royals as cold ambassadors who conceal their feelings. And they also show a very different side of Prince Charles, whose first marriage, to Diana, Princess of Wales, was characterized by photographs of the couple looking distant and grim.
The relationship of the future monarch and the former Camilla Parker Bowles was once the source of great controversy, and any public acknowledgement of their obvious love was unthinkable for years. But public opinion has shifted, and softened, in recent years and cast the couple in a more favourable light.
"At one point it seemed as though she might never be accepted as Charles's partner, let alone as a fully fledged respected member of the royal family," says Carolyn Harris, a royal historian at the University of Toronto. "And then, as time passed, there came more and more acceptance of the relationship."
Harris says the tacit support of the relationship by Prince Charles's sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, also contributed to growing public acceptance of the couple, who had been vilified in the aftermath of the collapse of Prince Charles's first marriage. Princess Diana is rumoured to have referred to Camilla as The Rottweiler, and when asked by an interviewer if Parker Bowles had contributed to the breakdown of her marriage, famously said, "Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded."
Now, almost 17 years since the Princess of Wales was killed in a Paris car crash and nine years since Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles were finally married, the couple seems at ease in their relationship — with each other, and the public.
"Once Charles and Camilla married in 2005, she began taking on more and more public duties and becoming a more and more respected and accepted member of the royal family," Harris explains. "So her figure has really grown on the public as time has passed and has become more and more popular in her own right."
And while the couple does not attract the same crowds as Prince Charles's son, Prince William, and his wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, the royal tour of Canada will undoubtedly see scores of fans turn out to see the once-maligned couple. And when they do, they shouldn't be surprised to see Charles and Camilla being openly affectionate, proudly displaying a relationship that was hidden for so many years.
Here is a selection of photographs of Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, on tour at home and around the world.

It's after Memorial Day so it's officially legal to bring out the white shorts and dresses! I loved the idea of wearing whites with greys and browns. I thought it was a little menswear inspired but still had a girly touch.
shirt and necklace Forever 21, shorts Madewell, shoes Steven by Steve Madden Melin, wooden bangles thrifted, sunglasses Persol, purse Urban
I got a hair cut last week and while it was really just a trim I notice it so much. It's a lot lighter and welp it looks so much shorter too! I added some long layers too. I'm hoping my hair will grow longer and healthier though.

Yordano Ventura chanced upon his first start and made the most of it.
Ventura pitched three hitless innings, Johnny Giavotella and Brett Hayes each drove in four runs and the Kansas City Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 13-2 Saturday.
Billy Butler and David Lough each added three hits. The Royals finished with 20 hits, including nine in 1 2-3 innings against Giants starter Yusmeiro Petit.
Brandon Belt hit his fourth homer for the Giants.
Ventura, considered the Royals' top pitching prospect, made his first start of the spring and fourth appearance overall. He got this chance when Wade Davis was scratched with shoulder soreness, and extended his hitless streak to five innings. He walked two and struck out three.
Giants reliever Javier Lopez made his spring debut, allowing a run on three hits in one inning. He struck out two.
The Giants were held hitless until Gregor Blanco tripled with one out in the sixth.
"The fans really cheered hard for that," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "That shows they were into it."
Lopez suffered a contusion on his right wrist on the eve of the exhibition schedule. He was playing catch with teammate Madison Bumgarner and squatted, like a catcher, to give Bumgarner a target. Lopez was struck flush just above his left wrist.
"It felt good just to get out there again," Lopez said.
Ventura, who reached Double-A for the first time late last season, said he felt comfortable.
"I kept my fastball down and my breaking ball was good," he said. "It was good experience."
Ventura, who will likely start in Double-A this year, certainly impressed his teammates.
"We don't call him `Ace' for nothing," Giavotella said. "You can see the velocity explode out of his hand."
Butler said he would not be surprised to see Ventura in the majors sooner rather than later.
"He has an electric fastball," Butler said. "He commands the ball well. I see a guy who can contribute for us this year. He's not far from the big leagues."
The Royals lead all major league teams with their .341 batting average and have collected 10 or more hits in 10 of their 14 games.
"We're just playing together and have a lot of confidence," Butler said. "We really enjoy playing with each other. Basically all we are doing is going out and having fun."
Lough, who upped his average to .565 (13 for 23) on the spring, said getting a chance to play in the big leagues last September was a confidence booster.
"I made a minor adjustment with my legs and I'm seeing the ball better," Lough said. "I did bring a lot of confidence into spring after getting my feet wet and being around the guys."
NOTES: Royals RHP Luke Hochevar is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. ... Giants RHP Matt Cain is slated to make the start at the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. ... Petit gave up eight runs on nine hits, walking one and striking out two. ... The Royals are also the best pitching team in the majors. Starters have an ERA of 2.43 (nine runs in 33 1-3 innings). ... The Royals have been behind in 13 of the 126 innings played. ... Giants LHP Luis Mijares (left elbow posterior impingement) is getting close to appearing in a game. ... Belt has 13 hits in his last 23 at bats.

Jesus tells us in John 12:24 that
unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
Today the process of germination is explained in a different way and certainly seeds do not have to 'die'.
Does Jesus use the word die in a different context?

Portage is a package management system that is used by Gentoo and Sabayon to install, uninstall and maintain software on your system. The Portage system consists of the Portage tree, the emerge command and the settings in your make.conf file.
The Portage Tree
The Portage tree is a local copy (located in /usr/portage) of the central software package repository. Whenever you install software on your system with the emerge command, the Portage tree is searched. If a matching package name is found, it's dependencies are calculated, the source code for the package and its dependencies are downloaded and then they're all compiled and installed onto your system.
Maintaining the Portage tree
You should update your Portage tree on a regular basis (about once a week or so) to help keep your system up to date:
emerge --sync
Another area of the Portage tree that needs maintenance is the /usr/portage/distfiles directory. This is where all the downloaded source code and binary packages are stored. Every 4 to 6 months or so you should delete everything in this directory to save storage space. You can do this by using the rm command:
rm -rf /usr/portage/distfiles/*
The emerge command
The emerge command is the primary way you, the user, will interface with Portage. To run "emerge", you should first open up the terminal program of your choice and login as root.
(Note: this document only covers the basics of emerge. for an in-depth guide, check out the emerge wiki page or the emerge man page)
Installing packages
To install a package, simply type "emerge" and the name of the package you want to install. For example, if you wanted to install the Opera web browser:
emerge opera
Some package names aren't what you would expect them to be, If you wanted to emerge firefox for example:
emerge mozilla-firefox
It is usually safer to add the --ask option to emerge and check that it will really install what you want before proceeding:
emerge -a mozilla-firefox These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0 [2.0_beta2] Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
If you're having trouble finding a package you can search the Portage tree for it. For example:
emerge -s firefox
would output something like this:
Searching... [ Results for search key : firefox ] [ Applications found : 2 ] www-client/mozilla-firefox Latest version available: 220.127.116.11 Latest version installed: 126.96.36.199 Size of files: 39,034 kB Homepage: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/ Description: Firefox Web Browser License: MPL-1.1 NPL-1.1 www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin Latest version available: 18.104.22.168 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 12,751 kB Homepage: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox Description: Firefox Web Browser
You can also check out the Gentoo Online Package Database to locate packages: http://packages.gentoo.org/categories/
Uninstalling Packages
To uninstall a package, the emerge command is ran with the "--unmerge" modifier. For example, if you wanted to uninstall Opera:
emerge --unmerge opera
(Note: This is the "safe" way to remove emerged programs, There are methods to remove a package and all of its dependencies, but they can lead to b0rked system.)
Updating The System
First you should update the portage tree as shown above in maintaining the Portage tree
After the portage tree is updated, you can update your system by typing:
emerge -auDN world
This will "re-emerge" any package that has a newer version available in the Portage tree.
(Note re-emerging a program is different than reinstalling it: the existing version on your system is replaced with the recompiled package, leaving your configuration files, program settings, bookmarks, most recently used files, themes etc. intact.)
Performing a system update might result in some configuration files needing to be updated. For more information about this, check the emerge wiki.
Make.conf is a configuration file that controls many aspects of: the way Portage works, the way the emerge command behaves and the way GCC compiles code. (Note: for a more in-depth guide on make.conf, check out the make.conf wiki page or the make.conf.example file in /etc.)
USE flags
USE flags are special flags set in make.conf, in the package.use file or right on the command line that control what features and/or programs you want to build in support for when you emerge packages. This is one of the features that makes Sabayon and Gentoo so flexible, you can build a package so that it only has the features you'll be using built in to it. For example: My laptop doesn't have a DVD burner in it. By setting the USE flag "-dvdr", I was able to emerge the CD/DVD burning program K3B without DVD burning support.
The rest of the make.conf file is too expansive to get in to in this overview, and beyond the scope of a simple introduction to the portage system. For more information on CFLAGS, Advanced Masking, setting Portage Directories and other advanced options, check out the make.conf wiki.
