[arch-dev-public] Three new packages for [extra]-repository
by Daniel Isenmann 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hi, I would like to add three new packages into the [extra]-repository. They are more or less necessary because they are new (opt-)dependencies for wicd. wicd has an additional new user interface, it's curses-based and a great alternative to the pyGTK interface for non-X11 usage. But to use it you will need "python-urwid", it's in [comunity]. That's the first package I want to add and the other two packages are necessary for the new ioctl experimental, optional backend (allegedly less CPU intensive). The packages are "python-wpactrl" and "python-iwscan". They aren't packaged or in AUR, I have created the necessary PKGBUILD and packages. Summary: - python-urwid for the curses interface - python-wpactrl and python-iwscan for the new ioctl experimental backend (http://projects.otaku42.de/wiki/PythonWpaCtrl and http://projects.otaku42.de/browser/python-iwscan) Corresponding bug entry: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14992 Any objections? Cheers, Daniel

[arch-dev-public] Proper commit messages
by Jan de Groot 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Recently we had some package updates in the repositories where just the pkgrel was upped and nothing else was changed, and committed with "upgpkg: subversion 1.6.2-3" or "upgpkg: mplayer 29318-1.1". Both examples are worthless commit messages, as there's nothing in there that describes why it was bumped. Could we please make sane commit messages in the near future, so we have an idea why a package has been bumped? Thanks.

[arch-dev-public] MediaWiki updated
by Pierre Schmitz 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I just updated MediaWiki (backups are in my home dir). No problems so far. More information can be found at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=567263 Let's see if my anti-spam-plugin does help to block those bots. I use it on al.de for a long time and even with guest editing enabled there were exactly 0 spam posts. :) Of course it could be easily bypassed if a bot would be specialized; but its very unlikely.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] xz-utils and libarchive-2.7.0-2
by Pierre Schmitz 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi devs, we had a long discussion about xz/lzma support some time ago. So I finally added xz-utils to testing and rebuild libarchive to make use of it. If everything is OK we can move both to core and remove lzma-utils from extra. I don't know if anything else has to be recompiled to add support for xz/lzma. PS: you can build xz archive with bsdtar (part of libarchive). PPS: the git version of pacman/makepkg (future 3.3) should support the xz format (not tested) -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

[arch-dev-public] archlinux-torrent-utils
by Pierre Schmitz 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hi all, I had created some usefull tools to create torrent files of our isos based on Thomas' idea of using ktorrent. It includes mktorrent to create torrent including webseeds, lstorrent to get some nformation about a torrent file (e.g. hash) and a script called mktorrent-archlinux which makes it easy to creat iso.torrent files including webseeds. There is also a PKGBUILD to create a package from git. The only problem is that both programs segfault on exit. I am a real noob on C++; so I am in need of a little help here. Everything works fine and my very limited skills show me that the problem occours after the main() method was left. Last but not least the URL: http://git.archlinux.de/archlinux-torrent-utils/ Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

[arch-dev-public] about splitting KDE (again)
by Pierre Schmitz 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hey guys, as Andrea already told we will make kde-unstable a playground for how we could implement splitted KDE packages. I have started a draft page about that in out wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Splitting_KDE. I also added a short summary about the motivation. Right now I have commited an initial set of PKGBUILDs to our repo. They are created with the help of a script which reads the cmake file of a KDE source package. I also added missing deps using namcap and some upstream documentation. It is still far from ready but a good start. Once we have a working set of PKGBUILDs some scripts and namcap rules should maintaing them quite easy. KDE 4.3 will be released by end of july. Hopefully we'll have pacman 3.3 before that date. And until then we have some time to think about support for splitted packages in our dev tools. (maybe its best to start a separate thread for this) I hope there will be no flamewar or anything else less productive started by users. So I have added a pro/contra and a FaQ section to the wiki. Feel free to tell us your oppinion or complains and I am sure we'll find a nice solution.
