I've seen quite a few Eee-related packages on AUR. Is there a recommended repo with binary versions I can use? Ideally I'd like to avoid havig to compile on my Eee, I'd also like to avoid having to install a 32-bit desktop system just to compile for my Eee :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
Why would you install a desktop system trough AUR? The only repo I would recommend is toofishes repo for the custom kernel, you probably already have that one? I don't think there exists a repo mirroring every entry in AUR, on the other side I don't think you're need to utilize packages from AUR is so great that you don't have the time to compile a few packages. What packages are thinking about? - Svein 2009/7/4 Magnus Therning <magnus@therning.org>

Nope, I don't have that one. I only found mention of one repo: [edgy] Server=http://www.ihku.biz/arch/edgy It seems to only contain a very outdated kernel.

I'm not asking for a binary repo of _every_ package on AUR, only the eee-related ones, such as kernel, acpi, etc. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Which packages are you thinking about? - laptop-mode-tools-superhe, acpi-eeepc-generic, acpi-eee* - shell script, no compilation - eee-control - python, no compilation (afaik it has no binary components). - kernel: Atom based eee: Use the kernel in [core], it has everything. Celeron based eee: Dan's repository[1]. - kernel modules: Most in the AUR are outdated or already merged to vanilla - kernel26 in [core]. Even then, most packages in the are a few minutes compile. I'm using my eee as my primary dev machine at the moment. James [1] http://www.toofishes.net/blog/arch-eee-repository/ Best for Celeron based eees (700 and some 900?) only. Last time I checked there was no HT support which the Atom gains significant benefits due to it's in-order architecture.
i am looking into writing udev rules to permanently symlink /dev/dvd and /dev/cd to /dev/sr0 by following this page http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#udevinfo however i can't find udevinfo. pacman -Ql udev|grep bin udev /bin/ udev /bin/resolve-modalias udev /sbin/ udev /sbin/udevadm udev /sbin/udevd pacman -Qi udev|grep -i version Version : 141-3 but the same version of udevinfo in fedora 11 includes udevinfo. So i am a bit confused. Does archlinux not provide udevinfo or has it been moved to other package ?

Thanks for the help. udevadm info -a -p /sys/block/sr0 did the trick !
