[arch-ports] Any major non-64-bit s/w?
by David Rosenstrauch 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

Going to retire my old Arch server soon, and the new one (my current desktop) is a 64-bit machine (AMD Athlon 64). So I'm leaning towards taking the plunge and installing Arch x86-64 on it. Just wondering though if there's still any major packages that aren't available in 64bit that might make me want to rethink this decision. The only package I'm aware of that I use frequently and is not available in 64-bit is flashplugin. 1) Anyone aware of any other notable exceptions? 2) Is there any workaround to be able to use the 32-bit flashplugin with firefox? TIA, DR

[arch-ports] Rhythmbox 0.11.2-2 should be recompiled
by Simone Basso 04 Jun '08

Rhythmbox should be recompiled because it links old version of libsuoup and libtotem-plparser: $ ldd `which rhythmbox`|grep 'not found' libsoup-2.2.so.8 => not found libtotem-plparser.so.7 => not found These are the installed packages: libsoup 2.4.1-1 totem-plparser 2.22.2-1 rhythmbox 0.11.2-2 Bye Simone

[arch-ports] archi586 port
by Karolina 14 May '08

14 May '08

My i586 port of archlinux now got its "abs" through gitweb. I really don't know what I am doing with git, but I have started to update changes I do, both for documentation and so that others can find it if they want to. gitweb does not look completely allright, and I don't know why. For some reason the project in gitweb is called ".git", and I don't know how to change that. Any hint how to change that to something reasonable is welcome. Apart from being compilable for i586 and i686, it can also be interesting to peek at when hitting a problem spot. Repository on ftp://archi586.ath.cx/archi586 Abs on git on http://archi586.ath.cx/archi586/gitweb.cgi Karolina

[arch-ports] ppc/i686 repo comparison CGI script
by Anders Bergh 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hey everyone, I wrote up a script to compare the i686 and ppc repos. Mirrors used are ftp.gigabit.nu and ftp.archlinuxppc.org. It's just a prototype, I'll make it cleaner and perhaps add some kind of javascript junk to it (sort columns, etc). http://andersman.org/ppc/compare.cgi Anders

[arch-ports] missing arch arrays
by Anders Bergh 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hey everyone, There are lots of packages in the CVS without an arch array, and makepkg complains about these. I wrote a quick script to add it to all of these packages, but it'd be quite a big change so I'm asking here before actually committing anything. I attached the patch. It's only for extra, I haven't checked core yet. Also, is there any way to generate better patches using cvs? It doesn't seem to generate the same format as "diff -ruN", but I don't know if that really matters or not. Anders

[arch-ports] [ppc] archlinuxppc.org may be partially unreachable
by Alexander Baldeck 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hey all, in case you're wondering why you can't access any service on archlinuxppc.org from Germany anymore since for a day or so, please check whether you're on a Deutsche Telekom line. It seems that only DTAG lines are affected. Other providers have been checked and they route through properly. Once we figure out why that is, we'll post another new item right here. Best, Your Archlinux PPC Team
