[arch-general] An archlinux-python package for managing system default python version?
by Chi Hsuan Yen 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Dear Arch enthusiasts, The package extra/java-runtime-common provides a convenient script archlinux-java to handle co-existing JDK/JRE versions. I can use it to switch between different versions of java implementations to accomplish numerous tasks from testing the compatibilities of my programs to running third party applications targeting on different platforms. Now I hope there's also a simple script for the same thing but for python. On the system, most of the scripts are written for python2 and some other scripts are python3-specific. In most cases it's not a problem because I can fix the scripts or use some tricks like $PATH to ensure the correct execution of the programs. However, in large projects, doing either is time-consuming and costly. Recently I'm building CyanogenMod on Arch Linux. It includes lots of python scripts in the build system, and most of them requires python2. Using the tip provided on the article about Python on ArchWiki prevents lots of problems, but, however, some scripts have the shebang line "#!/usr/bin/env python" or are invoked by some command like "/usr/bin/python ...". I have to change the link /usr/bin/python to pointing to python2 for further progress on building and changed it back for my daily use. If there's an archlinux-python script, lots of time on battling the difference between python2 and python3 does not exist anymore, which I believe lots of users can benefit from it. Any ideas? Best Regards, Yen Chi Hsuan

[arch-general] lvm activation at boot
by Michael Dahlberg 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

I’m having a problem activating lvm volumes at boot. I have an lvm volume (/home) that is mounted at boot and listed in /etc/fstab. When I try and boot the system, activation of this logical volume times out and the system drops to single-user emergency shell. Once I login I can activate it (vgchange -ay) and mount it without any problems. I’ve run mkinitcpio several times, all with the mkinitcpio.conf file containing the following lines: MODULES=“dm_mod raid1” HOOKS=“base udev autodetect modconf block mdadm_udev lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck” Any suggestions will be appreciated. -- Michael Dahlberg

[arch-general] warning: foobar: local (1.0.0-2) is newer than community (1.0.0-1)
by Ralf Mardorf 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Regarding to my AUR cache [1], it seems to be common practise, that packages that moved from AUR to community get a lower "pkgrel="-value. IMO that is very annoying and doesn't make sense. I don't want to reinstall software that does work and I dislike to get tons of warnings. Why is this the common approach? Regards, Ralf PS: I'll send it to Arch and AUR general. [1] $ ls /var/cache/aur/foobar*

[arch-general] KDE Applications 14.12
by Wulf Richartz 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Hello everyone, yesterday KDE released the first update for KDE Applications 14.12 and at Arch it's not even in testing-repository; therefore I would like to ask for the future of KDE Applications at Arch? If you look at the forum, I think I'm not the only one. Will KDE Applications stay in extra-repository, and will there be a maintainer for the packages? Or will KDE Applications move to community-repository, maybe for a TU to maintain the packages? Or it`s all undecided ? Thanks Wulf
