[arch-dev-public] Kingsoft Office License
by Felix Yan 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Hi, I recently received a license from Kingsoft to redistribute the office productivity suite "kingsoft-office", and I want your opinion about if it looks good to us, or if any modifications have to be made. The product is an office suite written in C++ and Qt, including three components: Writer, Spreadsheets and Presentation. From my own experience, it has very good compatibility with Microsoft Office (much better than LibreOffice, especially with newer formats like .docx files), and have attracted 138 votes on AUR too [1]. Within the past one year, I've been trying and pushing them for this license, and it's finally here. One more thing that has to be noted is, as the native 64-bit version of kingsoft-office has been (temporarily, I hope) removed from their development cycle, we have to ship the 32-bit version in [multilib] for x86_64 systems. Luckily this won't introduce more packages as all the lib32-* dependencies it needs are already in [multilib]. Below I'll paste the full text of the license. A .doc version (the rich text version directly from Kingsoft) can be downloaded here: https://paste.xinu.at/Mf5/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kingsoft-office ================================================== LICENSE AGREEMENT OF KINGSOFT OFFICE FOR LINUX COMMUNITY VERSION (also called WPS OFFICE FOR COMMUNITY VERSION) Please read and understand all rights and limitations stated in this LICENSE AGREEMENT OF KINGSOFT OFFICE FOR LINUX COMMUNITY VERSION (also called WPS OFFICE FOR COMMUNITY VERSION) (“the Agreement”) carefully.

[arch-dev-public] Use systemd timers instead of /etc/cron.{hourly, daily, weekly, monthly}?
by Thomas Bächler 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Since systemd 212, systemd timers support the Persistent=true option for OnCalendar timers. This is functionality similar to anacron: Persistent= Takes a boolean argument. If true the service unit is immediately triggered when the timer unit is activated and the timer elapsed at least once since the last time the service unit has been triggered by the timer unit. The time when the service unit was last triggered is stored on disk. This is useful to catch up for missed timers when a machine is shutdown temporarily and then is powered up again. Note that this setting only has an effect on timers configured with OnCalendar=. This means that we could replace the cron.* dropin scripts with systemd services and timers. Pros: * enabled by default (in contrast to cronie) * systems without need for crontabs can disable/uninstall cron * service will be simpler than the rather long dropin scripts Cons: * services are run in parallel instead of sequentially (is this even a con? timer start will be randomized, and we can increase accuracy to an hour to randomize even more) * no holdoff time after boot as it seems Affected packages: community/awstats 7.2-1 /etc/cron.hourly/awstats community/snapper 0.2.1-1 /etc/cron.hourly/snapper community/sysstat 10.3.1-1 /etc/cron.hourly/sysstat core/logrotate 3.8.7-1 /etc/cron.daily/logrotate core/man-db 2.6.6-1 /etc/cron.daily/man-db core/mlocate 0.26-1 /etc/cron.daily/updatedb core/shadow 4.1.5.1-7 /etc/cron.daily/shadow extra/hylafax 6.0.6-4 /etc/cron.daily/hylafax community/atop 2.0.2-1 /etc/cron.daily/atop community/dspam 3.10.2-8 /etc/cron.daily/dspam_maintenance community/logwatch 7.4.0-3 /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch community/snapper 0.2.1-1 /etc/cron.daily/snapper community/sysstat 10.3.1-1 /etc/cron.daily/sysstat extra/pkgstats 2.3-3 /etc/cron.weekly/pkgstats community/squid 3.4.4-1 /etc/cron.weekly/squid I'd be willing to convert all the core packages and put them to testing if people agree that this is the right course.

[arch-dev-public] Drop cronie and logrotate from base?
by Thomas Bächler 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

The other day, Daniel Micary suggested dropping these packages from base (potentially even moving them to extra). * cronie Nothing in our default installation uses it anymore and it was disabled by default since we switched to systemd. Only a small percentage of our users actually use crontabs actively, and for those, pacman -S cronie && systemctl enable cronie is not too much of a hassle. * logrotate In a default installation, it rotates nothing. It could be added as an optdepend to those packages that provide logrotate.d files so people are aware that they should install it. Opinions?

I see that Bluewind started to resolve a bit this issue but now it's offline again. alderaan replacement - 32 gb ECC with 2x240gb ssd is a.k.a PX60-SSD 79€/mo + 99 € setup brynhild replament (if we don't keep the current alderaan for building) - 32 gb non ecc - 49€/mo + 49€ setup. We need to decide until 31 march. Lets do a vote. -- Ionuț

[arch-dev-public] [RFC] Add ARM to archlinux.org
by Sébastien Luttringer 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hello, As you may know I'm running ARM[1] since the last maintainer resign in August 2013. I would like to propose its addition into our official services. My current suggestion is to keep the current server and hierarchy and to move it under an archlinux.org subdomain. So far, best suggestions are: - archive.archlinux.org - museum.archlinux.org - rollback.archlinux.org Current cost in byte is: # du -hcs 2013 2014 111G 2013 55G 2014 165G total In a second time, we could: - move the files on an official server - move installer backups[2] - add AUR - backup them (by mirroring or others) Current used scripts are freely available here[3].
