[aur-general] Old version of gnome-system-tools in [unstable]
by Hugo Doria 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Hi, There is a very old version of gnome-system-tools (and system-tools-backends) package in [unstable]. A newer one is already available in [community]. Would it not be better to remove the older one? What would be the procedure to do that? I tried to contact the packager but i got no response so far. Thanks. -- []'s Hugo Doria http://hdoria.archlinux-br.org GNU/Linux user #359340 - http://counter.li.org

[aur-general] Help needed with the xsensors package

01 Dec '07

Hi guys. I'm asking for a little help with xsensors. I'm trying to make it work with the new lm_sensors: there's a patch and it fixes compilation errors, but I can only get a segfault when I run the program. Debugging (after adding '#define DEBUG_XSENSORS') finds the incriminated function, add_sensor_tab() in src/gui.c: (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/xsensors (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) Adding tab for coretemp Adding feature 1, Core 0. curvalue = 48,000000, curmax = 10000,000000, curmin = 0,000000, percent = 0,004800 Adding tab for coretemp Adding feature 1, Core 1. curvalue = 50,000000, curmax = 10000,000000, curmin = 0,000000, percent = 0,005000 Adding tab for w83627dhg Adding feature 1, VCore.

Can anybody help me? Attached you can find the PKGBUILD. Thanks, Corrado

Your nick was pretty noticeable for me in times when I was visiting forums very often. :-) Your packages in AUR are OK, though I have some suggestions, which I've sent to you in private mail. In fact, I've added 2 of your packages to my "grab them sometime" list some time ago. :-P Oh, BTW, don't we already have someone studiying Aerospace engineering? /me looks at James ;-) I'm sponsoring Ronald on his way to become a TU. This starts a standard discussion period. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[aur-general] Why do we still have compatibility rename for community?
by Varun Acharya 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi Devs/TU's, Why do we still have the renaming of packages in community so that packages are uploaded without the '-arch' in the filename? Official repo's were converted a while back, any reason were not editing communitypkg to do the same? Varun

[aur-general] -mtune=generic
by bardo 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi. This flag was introduced with glibc-2.6 and gcc-4.2 as suggested for devs and tus (http://archlinux.org/news/326/). Is it still needed? Was it a temporary thing that was erroneously introduced in the aforementioned packages or is it a necessary and thus "definitive" flag? Thanks for any clarification. C.

[aur-general] Build machine update
by Aaron Griffin 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

For any Devs/TUs in need of an x86_64 build machine, we're now in business. This machine I have sitting here is not powerful, but it's doing nothing, so we might as well all help out and heat my apartment this winter 8) What I've done is set this machine up to use the new chroot tools from our devtools package, and allow users rights to run the chroot build script. Dan, Jeff, and myself have tested it and it seems to work fine for right now. For people with existing accounts - I will add a motd with instructions soon, so when you see a small HOWTO on login, feel free to go to town. For people who DON'T have an account but still want to build x86_64 packages and don't have a machine, let me know.
