Hey guys, I wanted to let you know I am moving apartments this weekend, and Sunday is also my birthday (woo?). So I will be pretty much offline. I will be around to check email every so often though, so if something important comes up, send me a direct mail and I'll get to it. Cheers, Aaron

[arch-dev-public] abs tree checker
by Xavier 01 Jun '08

01 Jun '08

Hello, stonecrest wrote a very useful script in my opinion a while ago : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch/2007-November/016238.html However, it hasn't been updated since the svn move and the new abs. It had a feature to fetch the abs tree itself, using csup directly. But anyway it is not required, abs can be used manually instead, so I just removed that part. The second problem is the directory structure, which is now different for core/extra/etc, where the package dir are on the first level, compared to community which still has the old layout with an additional level of category. This breaks the following function : def repo_from_path(path): return path.split("/")[-4] It should be -4 for community and -3 for the rest. Instead I just used 3, but it will only work on /var/abs/ tree (or any other structure with just 2 directory levels). Anyway, this was just two quick hacks to get the script working again and see what were its results now. And it is still far from perfect :) I think this script is something that packagers (of the official repos) should check regularly to ensure the quality of arch pkgbuilds and packages. So here is the result I get currently : $ ./check_archlinux.py --abs-tree=/var/abs ======================== = i686 Integrity Check = ======================== Performing integrity checks... ==> parsing pkgbuilds ==> checking dependencies ==> checking makedepends ==> checking archs ==> checking for circular dependencies ==> checking repo packages Missing PKGBUILDs ------------------- /community/devel/codeblocks/PKGBUILD /community/devel/php-apc/PKGBUILD /community/kde/kima/PKGBUILD /community/system/pommed/PKGBUILD /community/x11/gpomme/PKGBUILD /community/x11/e/PKGBUILD /community/lib/python-ctypes/PKGBUILD /community/lib/python-elementtree/PKGBUILD /community/multimedia/miro/PKGBUILD /community/gnome/cheese/PKGBUILD Mismatched Pkgnames --------------------- 'dbhub' vs. /community/daemons/dbhub/PKGBUILD 'dina-font' vs. /community/x11/dina-font/PKGBUILD 'offlineimap' vs. /community/network/offlineimap/PKGBUILD Missing Dependencies ---------------------- fldigi-docs --> 'acroread' gnome-media --> 'gstreamer0.10-gconf' listen --> 'gstreamer0.10-gconf' listen --> 'gstreamer0.10-alsa' listen --> 'gstreamer0.10-mad' listen --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' perl-mail-dkim --> 'perl-digest-sha' perl-app-cli --> 'perl-locale-maketext-simple' striim --> 'gstreamer0.10-mad' striim --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' medit --> 'gcc-objc' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-lame' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-flac' soundconverter --> 'gstreamer0.10-mad' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-libpng' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-theora' flumotion --> 'gstreamer0.10-ogg' fdlog --> 'acroread' jokosher --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' gnustep-gui --> 'gcc-objc' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-dvdread' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-mpeg2dec' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-libpng' kungfu --> 'gstreamer0.10-theora' perl-critic --> 'perl-readonly' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-theora' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-dvdread' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-a52dec' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-mpeg2dec' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' thoggen --> 'gstreamer0.10-ogg' perl-graphics-colornames --> 'perl-module-load' exaile --> 'gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs' exaile --> 'gstreamer0.10-gconf' bmpx --> 'gstreamer0.10-alsa' bmpx --> 'gstreamer0.10-cdparanoia' archboot --> 'rt2x00-cvs' archboot --> 'iwlwifi' ion-modules --> 'ion' ion-modules --> 'ion-scripts' gnustep-back --> 'gcc-objc' quodlibet --> 'gstreamer0.10-mad' quodlibet --> 'gstreamer0.10-vorbis' gnustep-base --> 'gcc-objc' muine --> 'gstreamer0.10-faad' Missing Makedepends --------------------- perl-app-cli --> 'perl-locale-maketext-simple' perl-time-duration --> 'perl-test-pod-coverage' pandoc --> 'haskell-mtl' pygoocanvas --> 'pygobject-doc' perl-graphics-colornames --> 'perl-module-load' totem-plugin --> 'gstreamer0.10-gconf' gensplash --> 'klibc-beyond' Unmet Dependency Provisions ----------------------------- fldigi-docs --> 'fldigi=2.10' d4x --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' bincimap --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' arora-git --> 'qt>=4.4.0' drscheme --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' eclipse-ve --> 'eclipse<3.3' socat --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' qc-usb --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' libfwbuilder --> 'openssl<=0.9.8' acerhk --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' martian --> 'kernel26<=2.6.25-0' Unmet Makedepends Provisions ------------------------------ wpa_supplicant --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' v86d --> 'kernel26<2.6.25' Repo Hierarchy for Makedepends -------------------------------- extra/xosd depends on community/xmms extra/flac depends on community/xmms core/iputils depends on extra/jade core/madwifi-utils depends on extra/sharutils core/e2fsprogs depends on extra/bc core/madwifi depends on extra/sharutils Invalid Archs --------------- libofa --> x64_86 kexec-tools --> 686 zsnes --> ppc mod_perl --> x64_86 minicom --> !x86_64 Circular Dependencies ----------------------- coreutils>pam>db>coreutils eclipse-ecj>gcc-gcj>eclipse-ecj archboot>archboot Missing Repo Packages ----------------------- postgis-1.2.1-1 in community/os/i686 lmms-0.3.2-1 in community/os/i686 sakura-2.1.0-2 in community/os/i686 'dina-font'-2.89-2 in community/os/i686 qc-usb-0.6.6-6 in community/os/i686 musicmanager-0.9.8-1 in community/os/i686 open-vm-tools-modules-2008.04.14-1 in community/os/i686 proj-4.5.0-2 in community/os/i686 'offlineimap'-5.99.14-1 in community/os/i686 'dbhub'-'0.450'-3 in community/os/i686 open-vm-tools-2008.04.14-1 in community/os/i686 gnash-common-0.8.2-1 in extra/os/i686 evolution-data-server-2.22.1.1-1 in extra/os/i686 enscript-1.6.4-3 in extra/os/i686 Summary --------- Dirs with missing PKGBUILDs: 10 Duplicate PKGBUILDs: 0 Missing (make)dependencies: 55 Unmet provisioned (make)dependencies: 13 Circular dependencies: 3 Invalid archs: 5 Missing packages in repos: 14 Mismatching PKGBUILD names: 3 Repo hierarchy problems: 6

[arch-dev-public] licenses
by Paul Mattal 31 May '08

31 May '08

I've started a pet project.. going through and adding licenses for packages without them. Not sure how long I'll be able to keep at it, but I'll just keep going as long as I can stand it. I encourage you all to add licenses for packages you maintain, if you can, while you're in there updating them. There's MANY packages without them (over 1000). I got through finding licenses for 64 packages in a couple of hours; they're not always easy to track down. It's much easier when you already have the source downloaded and can just look for a COPYING or LICENSE file. Cheat sheet for what we call the various GPL variants in the license=() array: * (L)GPL - (L)GPLv2 or any later version * (L)GPL2 - (L)GPL2 only * (L)GPL3 - (L)GPL3 or any later version I just added the license line to the trunk PKGBUILD.. nothing more. So you should get these on your next rebuild. Just an attempt to contribute some grunt work to the cause. - P

[arch-dev-public] [PATCH] Allow repo name to be specified on command line
by dpmcgee＠gmail.com 31 May '08

31 May '08

From: Dan McGee <dan(a)archlinux.org> Move the extrapkg script to the name repopkg. All of the corepkg/extrapkg etc. scripts will retain their same behavior; however if the program is called with the name repopkg the first parameter passed will be used as the repository name to upload to. Note that the non-existence of this directory on the remote end will probably result in failure.

[arch-dev-public] Questions about Archlinux branding/artwork for KDE
by Thayer Williams 30 May '08

30 May '08

I'm putting together a new package that will contain artwork and branding for KDE. While reviewing the existing kde-common package, I noticed we're also providing defaults for font types and sizes as well as general konqueror settings. I don't plan to include the preferences in the branding package, but I was wondering whether we should be providing these at all. Are the KDE defaults so bad that we need to override them? I figured now would be a good time to discuss this since the existing package will be getting a major overhaul. As far as I can tell, the only things that appear necessary are the kdm rc.d scripts and related environment files...

[arch-dev-public] dbscripts questions
by Dan McGee 30 May '08

30 May '08

Quick questions about the DB scripts, the output is below for reference. I haven't built a new package in quite a while and I have been on vacation, so hopefully I'm not repeating old material here. 1. It didn't die, but they tell me to both delete my 64 staging dirs and then throw errors on the stat. I guess it is a bit misleading, but as long as the 64 bit dirs are on the way out, not too many objections. 2. db-extra tells me there are no package to delete, and doesn't list old files anymore. Yet the old package definitely still exists- are these cleaned up by a cronjob now so I have nothing to worry about? -Dan dan@gerolde ~ $ /arch/db-extra Updating DB for extra i686 -------------------------------------------------- It looks like you have an old staging dir Packages are now differentiated by the arch in the filename.

[arch-dev-public] Changing my jabber account
by Aaron Griffin 29 May '08

29 May '08

I've had two jabber accounts for a bit - one on phraktured.net and gmail. I'm switching to just the gmail account, because I'm sick of running my own server, and I want to only use one account. If I miss an account in the transfer, just re-add me. It's the same as this email address anyway. Cheers, Aaron
