IMO this packaging scheme sucks for both vi and vim. I was looking at the CRUX vim script and if a package like that can be achieved IMO its the best solution. Current situation (in testing) vim depends only on perl (optdepend) so this package might as well be in [core] instead of [extra] . That means it would need signoffs for it & gvim as well. I would be in favour of building a vim package in [core] that includes both a vi & vim binary, like CRUX seems to do it. http://crux.nu/ports/crux-2.5/core/vim/Pkgfile I just couldnt get my script to build so hadnt suggested it so far. I wonder if thats possible. The reasons the previous scheme changed was mainly because people complained that vi isnt really vi but vim, so this scenario would cover it Sorry for interefering. -- Greg

The 10th Libre Sofrware Meeting will take place in Nantes (France) from July 7th to July 11th. It is the biggest Open Source event in the country (see http://2009.rmll.info/?lang=en). Are there Archers planning to attend? Speaking French is probably required to take part in some of the conferences but not mandatory for all of them. -- catwell

The package is left in rw/pkgdest after I change it the package is moved to the dir the PKGBUILD is in.

[arch-general] Demons shutdown before processes.
by Chris Bannister 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

If my soundcard is in use when I shutdown (which it normally is with MPD because I just sudo halt and expect linux to shutdown), this causes OSS to fail to unload, which in turn can leave my /var partition mounted. Is there a specific reason it is done this way?

[arch-general] [signoff] rpcbind-0.2.0-1 and libtirpc-0.2.0-1
by Tobias Powalowski 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi guys, in order to provide a state of the art portmapper with ipv6 support and all nfs4 stuff, we should replace portmap with rpcbind in [core]. Simply replace portmap daemon with rpcbind in /etc/rc.conf please signoff both packages greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-general] [signoff] nfs-utils 1.2.0-1
by Tobias Powalowski 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi guys, Based on nfs-utils from AUR we could support nfs4 rather easily. Major changes: - daemon scripts changed, nfslock and nfsd are dropped - nfs-common and nfs-server are introduced, both have their config files on /etc/conf.d nfs-common is intended to run on nfs clients + server nfs-server is intended to run on nfs server - NFS4 is implemented please try and give feedback to make this one bullet proof thanks greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
