Minor version bump. Tested on i686, built for both architectures. Easiest way to test is with pacman and using bsdtar on an archive. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] zsh, bash and filesystem
by Pierre Schmitz 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Hello and a Happy New Year! I am just testing zsh as a replacement of bash. Our zsh does not really work out-of-the-box. It does not use /etc/profile and as a result of this you cannot type or read umlauts etc.. I have opened a bug about this: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8946 But there does not seems to be a straight-forward-solution; so we should discuss about this first. I have noticed that Aaron introduced a generic /etc/profile which will load all scripts in /etc/profile.d/ and source any specific file like /etc/profile.zsh, /etc/profile.bash etc.. At first: the filesystem package should be bumped to get the new /etc/profile due to a pacman bug (?). Then we need to add a profile.zsh to the zsh package. I have attached a working one based on the one found within the bash package. The configure-line o zsh should be changed to the following: ./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin \ --enable-zprofile=/etc/profile \ --with-curses-terminfo \ --enable-multibyte || return 1 After this changes zsh is quite usable (even with utf8 etc.). But: This only works when logging in into a VT. If you start xterm, Konsole etc. you will end up in a zsh without any locale support and no environment variables set. Thomas told me that xterm does not use a login shell and because of this /etc/profile is not executed. (but why does this work with bash). Does anybody know a clean solution for this? Pierre PS: zsh seems to be really cool. The menu-based completition is quite nice. See my .zshrc (based on the one from grml): http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/arch/zshrc -- http://www.archlinux.de

[arch-dev-public] Inactive for unspecified period of time
by Roman Kyrylych 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

oops, forgot to cc this to arch-dev-public [skipped] I've got a couple hours of internet today, so I thought I should write a quick update. First, thank you all! I don't imagine what would I do without the support from Arch community. I'm waiting for time when I can come back to work (on Arch, obviously :-)), I miss that so much. Next, a status update: * still no laptop at job (should get it next month, I think) and still very busy there * still no internet at home (long to explain why), hope to get it somewhere next week I wish you all Happy New Year (in advance because I won't be able to do so when it comes) and hope to see you soon. :-) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] x86_64 difflist broken - no packages listed
by James Rayner 27 Dec '07

27 Dec '07

Thought we were up to date.. but last time I viewed the difflist, it had all the packages in the repos on it. Now it has nothing. "core (packages i686: 0, packages x86_64: 0, different: 0)" I suppose if there's no packages in the repos, nothing can be different :) http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html James
