[arch-general] version update request for openconnect
by MohanR 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Hi, Please update openconnect from version 7.06 to 7.07. There is one bug 7.06 (http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/openconnect-devel/2016-June/ 003727.html) which was fixed in 7.07. I reported a bug, but it got closed saying I can only report bug and not a update request. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50535?string=&project=1&search_name=&ty pe%5B0%5D=&sev%5B0%5D=&pri%5B0%5D=&due%5B0%5D=&reported%5B0%5D=&cat%5B0 %5D=&status%5B0%5D=&percent%5B0%5D=&opened=mohan43u&dev=&closed=&duedat efrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedf rom=&closedto= I hope someone will take this to the current maintainer of openconnect.

[arch-general] Package versioning
by Magnus Therning 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

When packaging Haskell packages there's a bit of a twist to the version numbers that I'm looking for a solution to. Upstream versions have two numbers, a version number (set by the upstream developer) and an "xrev" that's bumped when minor changes are made to packages on Hackage (Haskell's CPAN/PyPi/RubyGems/...). Then the packaging has a release. So far I've been using versions of the form <upstream version>_<xrev>-<pkgrel> But that isn't good enough, `pacman` has for instance reported that's ~~~ warning: haskell-vector-algorithms: local (0.7_1-2) is newer than haskell-core (0.7.0.1_0-1) warning: haskell-monadrandom: local (0.4_2-1) is newer than haskell-core (0.4.1_0-1) ~~~ which isn't correct since 0.7 < 0.7.0.1 0.4 < 0.4.1 It seems `pacman` treats underbar like a period, which isn't at all what I was hoping for. I'm hoping for some help to find something better. Any suggestions on how I should do this properly? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus An approximate answer to the right problem is worth a good deal more than an exact answer to an approximate problem. — John Tukey

[arch-general] extra repository is messed up and broken AGAIN
by Sebastian Lau 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hi folks, again, some trusted user destroyed our extra repository again. I heard rumors about who did it, but I can not verify it yet. Maybe he has more than one account and he is destroying arch. At the moment I'm trying to clean up my beloved collaborative Arch, but it is not patchable at the moment. Why the fuck is gtk software depending on a bunch of kdelibs? A log from just before: sebastian@nullptr ~ % ps gwenview resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... warning: dependency cycle detected: warning: kinit will be installed before its kio dependency Package (34) New Version Net Change Download Size extra/attica-qt5 5.25.0-1 0.84 MiB extra/baloo 5.25.0-1 1.91 MiB extra/convertlit 1.8-7 0.16 MiB extra/ebook-tools 0.2.2-3 0.07 MiB extra/gpgmepp 16.04.3-1 0.77 MiB extra/kactivities 5.25.0-1 0.46 MiB extra/kbookmarks 5.25.0-1 0.85 MiB extra/kcompletion 5.25.0-1 0.45 MiB extra/kcrash 5.25.0-1 0.05 MiB extra/kdbusaddons 5.25.0-1 0.17 MiB extra/kded 5.25.0-1 0.13 MiB extra/kdelibs4support 5.25.0-1 17.36 MiB extra/kemoticons 5.25.0-1 2.23 MiB extra/kfilemetadata 5.25.0-1 0.68 MiB extra/kglobalaccel 5.25.0-2 0.50 MiB 0.13 MiB extra/kidletime 5.25.0-1 0.12 MiB extra/kinit 5.25.0-1 0.49 MiB extra/kio 5.25.0-1 20.58 MiB extra/kitemmodels 5.25.0-1 0.35 MiB extra/kjobwidgets 5.25.0-1 0.55 MiB extra/kparts 5.25.0-1 0.86 MiB extra/kservice 5.25.0-1 1.19 MiB extra/ktextwidgets 5.25.0-1 1.37 MiB extra/kunitconversion 5.25.0-1 8.30 MiB extra/kwallet 5.25.0-1 2.05 MiB extra/kxmlgui 5.25.0-1 3.61 MiB extra/libkdcraw 16.04.3-1 0.12 MiB extra/libkipi 16.04.3-1 0.32 MiB extra/libraw 0.17.2-1 2.14 MiB extra/libzip 1.1.3-1 0.23 MiB extra/lmdb 0.9.18-1 0.51 MiB extra/solid 5.25.0-1 2.10 MiB extra/sonnet 5.25.0-1 2.06 MiB extra/gwenview 16.04.3-1 4.43 MiB Total Download Size: 0.13 MiB Total Installed Size: 78.03 MiB :: Proceed with installation?

I talked to a person who gave in, it was his plan to do it like this and we had this problem before. At the moment I cannot come into ts or irc, but some friends of mine will. Please find this fucked up dependency circles, fix them, block him and so on. I think, it could be the same person half a year before. Bye and good luck, nullptr_t

[arch-general] [PATCH] core/linux: symlink current documentation on kernel upgrade
by Quint Guvernator 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

Hi all, Currently, Linux documentation provided by the linux-docs package is installed in /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/Documentation. We like documentation in /usr/share/doc 'round these parts, as per the Packaging Guidelines. Additionally, symlinking in the package means that users always have a path to the latest kernel documentation, without having to fiddle around with uname. Patch attached. Please let me know if I should be submitting this on a different list, or if there are formatting problems. Cheers, Quint

[arch-general] interested in becoming a TU
by Storm Dragon 24 Aug '16

Howdy, I am interested in becoming a TU. I have several packages in the AUR, including magic-wormhole{,-git}, rndsig, libsonic-git, rsgames, etc. My main area of interested, in maintinaing packages as a TU, would be accessibility related items, E.G. orca, speech-dispatcher, espeakup. Before I actually apply, I'd like to get some feedback from an already existing TU, to make sure I have the required skillset, and just get some general pointers. If anyone is willing to help and eventually sponsor me, please contact me off list. Thanks Storm -- Powered by Arch Linux!

[arch-general] Opinions on PowerShell?
by Hunter Connelly 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Recently, Microsoft released the source code for PowerShell under the MIT license. Here's the link for that. https://github.com/powershell/powershell I was wondering what you guys thought about it. Specifically, if any of you will be using it, if you think it should be in the main repos, what this might mean for the future, etc.

[arch-general] Is ncurses in Arch Linux out-dated?
by Chi Hsuan Yen 21 Aug '16

21 Aug '16

Hi Archers, ncurses 6.0 is released in 2015/08/08. It has some bugs and part of them are fixed. For example, I was just hit by http://bugs.python.org/issue27323. On bug-ncurses mailing list there are some patch versions. The latest one is 6.0-20160820: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2016-08/msg00010.html. If I want to fix the aforementioned Python issue, should Arch Linux 1) Bump the ncurses package to 6.0-20160820, or 2) Just backport the relevant patch For 1), I just need to flag to package out-of-date, for 2), I have to submit a bug and request backporting. Any similar cases in other packages? Best, Yen Chi Hsuan
