[arch-general] What about packaging something like "emacs-goodies" in AUR?
by XeCycle 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Hello list. I found the package `emacs-goodies-el' quite useful when I was using Ubuntu, but Arch doesn't seem to have a equivalent package. I know I can install them myself, but it may be better to pack some of the most used into one package? So that most people could just install this, which is of course not very big, and get what they wanted. So I'm asking here, what extensions to package? -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591

[arch-general] Any suggestions on frequently rebuilding a git package?
by XeCycle 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi, I build Emacs from git quite frequently, about twice a month or so. However the PKGBUILD from AUR rebuilds everything each time, which takes too many time I think. Perhaps Emacs is small, but I think there should be a way to prevent too many rebuilds --- is that possible? -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591

I have /etc/mtab as a symlink for quite some time, since I moved to systemd, and haven't noticed any problems with encfs or sshfs - both of which are fuse filesystems -- дамјан

[arch-general] What about nvidia drivers 275.28 and Xorg 1.11 ?
by fredbezies 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hello. As I am using testing and a nVidia graphic card, I had to use NouVeau in order to get xorg 1.11 working. I saw that a new driver was released, fixing the compatibility problem, nvidia 275.28 : http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=166025 Any tests going on it ? I wanted to build a version on my computer to see if it works, but I want some feedback before. Any infos ? Thanks a lot ! -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies(a)gmail.com
