[arch-general] The new mupdf package doesn't have the 'mupdf' file
by Iru Cai 17 Aug '13

17 Aug '13

Hi, After I updated mupdf, I found that /usr/bin/mupdf is missing, and is replaced by mupdf-x11, which is a little inconvenient. Can the maintainer add a mupdf link to it? Iru

[arch-general] mkarchiso operates poorly with new glibc-2.18 built without pt_chown
by Vadim Ushakov 17 Aug '13

17 Aug '13

Hi. I've encountered the following trouble: 1. Boot the system. devpts has correct mount options and vte terminals work fine: vadim@aquila:~$ mount -t devpts devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) 2. Run mkarchiso init. In my case, it is run from a script: vadim@aquila:/media/stuff/Проекты/Личные/AL/al-iso$ su -c 'bash /media/stuff/Проекты/Личные/AL/al-iso/build.sh -v' mkarchiso init executes command mount -t devpts devpts ${work_dir}/root-image/dev/pts Executing that command seems to drop mount options of /dev/pts, now we have both devpts mount points have the same options: vadim@aquila:~$ mount -t devpts devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000) devpts on /media/stuff/Проекты/Личные/AL/al-iso/work/i686/root-image/dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000) And vte terminals stop to work after that, of course. -- Regards, Vadim Ushakov

Hello, python-distribute is merged back into setuptools and deprecated. [1] http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2013-March/020126.html [2] http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/merge.html I'm not sure where to report this since the bug report is not for out of date package. Here is the new PKGBUILD for python-setuptools-0.9.8: [3] https://gist.github.com/shanipribadi/6210208 Altough setuptools 1.0 will be out very soon (mercurial repo is already at 1.0b1, pypi is still at 0.9.8) Thank you.

[arch-general] testing/glibc 2.18-1 breaks vte
by Chris “Kwpolska” Warrick 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

I am running [testing] on Arch Linux x86_64. With the recent update of glibc to 2.18-1, all vte-based terminals fail to start under a non-root user. They claim that "grantpt failed: Operation not permitted". Downgrading to core’s 2.17-6 restores regular functionality. Non-vte terminals (xterm, urxvt) are not affected by this. What is going on? -- Chris “Kwpolska” Warrick <http://kwpolska.tk> PGP: 5EAAEA16 stop html mail | always bottom-post | only UTF-8 makes sense

Hello, Since upgrading to version 1.4.1 in July of python2-pip, I have been receiving this Exception on the commands I execute. Received an update to version 1.4.1-1 today and the error persists.

[arch-general] Australian Mirrors
by Simon Perry 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Hi all, Does anybody know what the story is with almost all of the Aussie Arch mirrors? Almost all of them (except the iiNet mirror) have been out-of-date for days. Haven't seen any mention of it on the forums or here, so thought I'd ask. Cheers. -- Simon Perry (aka Pezz)

[arch-general] configuring the kernel in a chroot using devtools
by Joakim Hernberg 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Hi there, I occasionally need to create new kernel config files for the aur/linux-rt package. Since I try to keep the config as close as possible to core/linux, I regularly pick up the config files from core/linux and then apply the changes needed to make a good -rt kernel. My problem is to create config files for i686 as I don't have such a machine anymore. core/linux has instructions to uncomment make menuconf/nconfig to configure the kernel, but when I try to configure the kernel in a chroot using the extra-i686-build script, I can't navigate the gui, all I get are escape chars printed on the screen. I've tried to make ncurses an explicit makedepends, and I've also checked the TERM variable, which is set to xterm, just as in my normal shell. No idea what to check for after that, but hopefully someone can point me to my mistake. Many thanks in advance, -- Joakim
