[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

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

by Simone Basso 05 Mar '08

Hello, it seems that vte-0.16.12-1-ppc.pkg.tar.gz package is missing from ftp.archlinuxppc.org and its mirrors. This is what I get when trying pacman -Sy && pacman -Su on my PPC system: :: Retrieving packages from extra... error: failed retrieving file 'vte-0.16.12-1-ppc.pkg.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinuxppc.org : File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) error: failed retrieving file 'vte-0.16.12-1-ppc.pkg.tar.gz' from ftp2.archlinuxppc.org : Connection refused error: failed retrieving file 'vte-0.16.12-1-ppc.pkg.tar.gz' from mir2.archlinuxfr.org : Not Found warning: failed to retrieve some files from extra error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. I connected to the ftp.archlinuxppc.org and I've found that the vte version it has is vte-0.16.9-1-ppc.pkg.tar.gz.

[arch-ports] [ppc] News: FTP Archive corrupted & fixed
by Alexander Baldeck 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Dear Archlinux PowerPC users, we just recently moved to another data center but since the old machine was still available, we kept on running ftp.archlinuxppc.org on there while ftp2.archlinuxppc.org was at the new location. Now that we've experienced checksum errors in the pkg.db & severe package reoccurring corruptions we shut down the machine completely. It will stay offline as we decided to get yet another blade at our new data center for redundancy of the archive. ftp.archlinuxppc.org has been updated to point at the new FTP service already and thus should either not be reachable or the correct server. In the best case you don't have to change your setup the slightest, if you provider's DNS caches, make sure to use ftp2.archlinuxppc.org. We're very sorry for the inconvenience and hope we didn't cause too much trouble, Your PPC Team

[arch-ports] [ppc] archlinuxppc.org on the move
by Alexander Baldeck 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hey All, as described in the latest news item on our website [1] we are currently moving all services off of the current machine into a new datacenter. While we are doing that, you may experience glitches here and there. Still, we hope we can offer a more stable experience once everything has been moved. Stay tuned, -kth5 [1] http://archlinuxppc.org/news/11/

[arch-ports] error in vlc 0.8.6c-1
by sacarde 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

hi, in archlinuxppc (current) in apple-mini when I run vlc I have this error: VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus The program '.' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 198 error_code 11 request_code 146 minor_code 5) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) what is it ? p.s. thi is my free: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 514204 307568 206636 0 13360 173732 -/+ buffers/cache: 120476 393728 Swap: 999992 0 999992 p.s. some time ago it worked perfectly thankyou
