Another build question and some other stuff

Hello,

With kde programs I get these error messages all the time during 
compilation:

/usr/include/features.h:148:3: warning: #warning "_BSD_SOURCE and 
_SVID_SOURCE are deprecated, use _DEFAULT_SOURCE [-Wcpp]
 # warning "_BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE are deprecated, use 
_DEFAULT_SOURCE"

What is the correct way to get rid of these?

I started to use void in earnest now, and really like it. Below are some 
potential improvements.

1. I think it would be good to have this in /etc/profile:
MANPAGER="less -s"
Less is part of the base-system, so this could not hurt.

2. I think adding this to /etc/hosts by default would be also good:
127.0.1.1 <hostname>
For example every time firefox is started it tries to do a DNS lookup for 
the hostname.
If it is not configured in /etc/hosts, or in the DNS server, then it will 
wait a couple of seconds before it times out. It is annoying, and 
it took me some time and an strace to figure out what is happening. I guess 
there can be other programs that do this.

Regards

Since these are non-fatal deprecation warnings you should probably just 
ignore them.
Otherwise you would need to fix the sources to use _DEFAULT_SOURCE instead 
of _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE.

Void uses "more" as a sensible default pager, but if you want to use 
another you are of course free to set it to whatever you want. "less" ist 
not neccessarily what everyone wants so it is better to use a well-known 
and small default that can be easily replaced.

You are right about the hostname. I think it would be reasonable to 
automatically add it to /etc/hosts during installation. Then again it's not 
terribly difficult to add it yourself :)
