[aur-general] Why /etc/issue starts with invisible chars?
by Lyman 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Hi, all I found this issue when I was trying Sysmonitor in the package screenlets because Sysmonitor can not show my distribution name correctly. At the beginning I thought that it was a bug of screenlets, however, when I dug into its source code, I realized that it could be a "bug" introduced by Archlinux because the /etc/issue starts with some invisible chars. Here's the hexdump of /etc/issue in Archlinux. It is obviously that the first line in this file is not the distribution name. 00000000 1b 5b 48 1b 5b 32 4a 0a 41 72 63 68 20 4c 69 6e |.[H.[2J.Arch Lin| 00000010 75 78 20 28 43 6f 72 65 20 44 75 6d 70 29 20 20 |ux (Core Dump) | 00000020 5c 72 20 20 28 5c 6e 29 20 28 5c 6c 29 0a 0a |\r (\n) (\l)..| I've checked other two distribution, CentOS and Ubuntu (that's all I have at the moment), both of them presents the their name in the first line. I guess most of the applications just use the first line in /etc/issue as distribution name (so do screenlets). I think Archlinux should comply with "Rule of Least Surprise" on this issue. If the invisible chars are just for clearing screen, we can do that from the second line. lyman

Today, after updating lxsession and lxpanel, when I checked the CVS web interface, the time was 1 hour off. Something I checked in 5 mins ago was being shown as 65 mins ago. Something wrong with the server clock? -- Abhishek.

[aur-general] MythTV & Extras
by Travis Willard 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hi everrrrrrybooooooooody! (Hi Dr. Nick!) Is anyone out there in dev-land interested in MythTV setups? I've got a ton of MythTV packages I'm maintaining (plugins and themes) that are kind of legacy from my TU days, which I brought into community with a ton of votes and eventually came to Extra when I became a dev. I don't use Myth, and can't really test any of these packages - basically I'm looking for someone who's actually interested in Myth to take them on. Paul has said he's looking at dropping the actual MythTV package, so if anyone out there is interested, taking the whole set (Myth + Plugins + Themes) would probably be easiest, since they all kind of update in unison. I'm cc-ing this message to aur-general too, because if no dev is interested, then perhaps a TU would be keen on keeping them in community. They seem to be a decently popular set of packages, so I'd love it if someone could pick them up. Thanks! -- Travis

[aur-general] perl 5.10.0 coming soon
by Firmicus 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hello all, this message is primarily adressed at the few TUs who maintain perl packages in community (namely Sergej, Allan and bardo), but should also be read by everyone else contributing perl packages to AUR as well. perl 5.10.0 – currently in testing – will soon be moved to core. Since this release implements a new "Perl Policy", there are some important changes in packaging that should be noted. Also, all packages that provide compiled libraries or that embed their own perl engine must be recompiled. Even better is to update ALL perl packages according to the new path scheme. See http://ankabut.net/archlinux/perlcommunity/PKGBUILD-perl.proto for the new and simpler way to package perl stuff. Since I had to do the job for my packages anyway, it was equally easy for me to update all PKGBUILDs at once. So Sergej, Allan and bardo can grab their new PKGBUILDs from http://ankabut.net/archlinux/perlcommunity/sergej.zip http://ankabut.net/archlinux/perlcommunity/allan.zip http://ankabut.net/archlinux/perlcommunity/bardo.zip Note that these contain only the packages in lib. There are a few more that I have not touched: devel/svk devel/perl6-pugs games/hearse multimedia/freewrl multimedia/xmltv network/pppusage These are left as an exercise to their respective maintainers ;) Be sure to backup your old PKGBUILDs and to check carefully those I made (especially the depends array). Kevin – the perl maintainer – is going to notify us when he moves perl from testing to core. Then we should get busy building the packages and uploading them to the repo :) Have fun, Firmicus

[aur-general] architecture independent packages
by Abhishek Dasgupta 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

For an architecture independent package, is it sufficient to build the package once, rename it appropriately and upload? Or should it be built on both 32 and 64 bit? -- Abhishek.

Hello, can someone please orphan the package fotox. The maintainer does not update his package (it is the only one he has in AUR) and did not respond to my e-mail. I would like to maintain the package. Thanks! Stefan

Hi, I was trying to submit a package called x264-git which does not exist on the list. But it said I was overwriting this package: "You are not allowed to overwrite the *x264-git* package." Could someone take a look at this? Many thanks. Qin Zhu
