[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

[arch-dev-public] Packaging for x86_64
by James Rayner 27 Dec '07

27 Dec '07

Just an FYI, not really directed at anyone in particular, I've got Arch64 setup and have begun building my own packages for both platforms. I'll keep an eye on the difflist and do what I can. Nothing on it presently. Happy holidays. It's terribly quiet around here, so I'm sure you're all enjoying them. James

[arch-dev-public] Holiday Status
by Aaron Griffin 23 Dec '07

23 Dec '07

Hello Everyone, I wanted to let you know that I'm not going to be around all that much for the next few days. With Holiday parties at the office, and visiting family, I probably won't be sitting down at a computer until Wed. This means, sadly, I won't have the time to write up a big long status report. :( BUT, the good news is that I am on vacation until the next Wed. So with 7 days with nothing to do but Arch, I should be able to get a lot of ground covered. I'm sure other developers are in the same boat. This is on the announce list. Feel free to reply to this thread and let us know what you're up to - we can make it an impromptu mini-status report Me, personally, over the next week or so, I plan on getting a new initscripts release out the door, beginning work on the DB scripts revamp, and helping finalize everything that needs to be done for pacman 3.1. After all that is done, I want to take a look at Jason's svn repo implementation and begin making that switch over as part of the db script changes. Anyone else want to add anything?

[arch-dev-public] Man page symlinks
by Aaron Griffin 22 Dec '07

22 Dec '07

Ok, Jan brought this up twice now and I want to flesh this out. This is in relation to the filesystem/bash upgrades. On Dec 20, 2007 4:01 AM, Jan de Groot <jan(a)jgc.homeip.net> wrote: > So what does this do when /usr/man/man3 is a directory with manpages > and /usr/man/man3 is a symlink to /usr/share/man/man3 in the new package? > Shouldn't we move /usr/man to /usr/share/man in pre_install and pre_upgrade? Firstly, I don't think we should have these symlinks in the filesystem package at all simply because /usr/man is not specified in the FHS anywhere. We should technically never have a /usr/man dir at the completion of this ideal. If a *package* installs it, fine. By unsetting MANPATH in /etc/profile, man looks up pages via /etc/man.conf which includes both of these directories. In addition, by using symlinks at all, we run into the potential-and-always-confusing-possibly-working symlink/dir replacement stuff in pacman. Additionally, moving the man pages isn't a good idea. makepkg will NOT move them anymore. So, here's what we're left with: * Newly built packages will install to /usr/share/man * man will search both /usr/man and /usr/share/man for man pages * pacman -Qo will provide us with packages which need a rebuild It allows us to phase in the FHS man pages, and not do it all in one big lump. Backwards compat and all that. Is this acceptable?
