[arch-dev-public] draft klibc move news item

I would assume that a good percentage of users would struggle first-time around. The "limitation" with pacman, is it a one time thing? will it manifest into further problems? has the problem been fixed? I don't mean to sound negative, it's good that the Dev's are been upfront and proactive but the community will have questions.

[arch-dev-public] gnucash
by Aaron Griffin 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Anyone interested in maintaining gnucash? It seems to be fairly popular, as I get emails regarding it often, but have stopped using it in favor of web-based things like mint.com Any takers? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marq Schneider <queueram(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 2:33 PM Subject: gnucash To: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin(a)gmail.com> Hi Aaron, I know you're busy with other things, but i was wondering if you were still maintaining the gnucash package? I know Eric Belanger was helping out with it for a bit, but currently the gnucash package doesn't have a maintainer listed on archlinux.org. The reason being is that it has been marked out of date for some time, and is now 2 build versions behind (at 2.2.5, missed 2.2.6, current is 2.2.7). I really don't mean to be a bother, and as i can certainly maintain my own gnucash package locally, it's not even so much of an issue with me, but i would like to support the latest version to all arch users. Regards, Mark

[arch-dev-public] [PATCH] check_packages : improve the "skip klibc dep" hack.
by Xavier Chantry 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

It is not possible to check the klibc dep on the PKGBUILD level, so I made a hack to skip it. This hack broke on klibc-jfflyAahxqaliwAofrf_fdf5upI because of the underscore. But we can simply use the \w regexp which matches any alpha-numeric char, including underscore. Also the length of this string is always 27 chars, so we can use that.

[arch-dev-public] Wlan Linux Broadcom binary drivers
by Tobias Powalowski 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php just found this on the net, would you guys like to see this drivers in core? If a native english speaker could look at the license of the binary blob on redistribution, we could integrate those drivers. I don't have such hardware, so someone else would need to test functionality. your opinions on it? greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] policykit install problem
by Dan McGee 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Guys, we have some big problems with groups. ( 9/31) installing policykit [---------------------] 100% groupadd: GID 102 is not unique useradd: unknown group policykit chgrp: invalid group: `policykit' chown: invalid user: `policykit' chown: invalid user: `policykit:policykit' chown: invalid user: `policykit' chgrp: invalid group: `policykit' chgrp: invalid group: `policykit' chgrp: invalid group: `policykit' chgrp: invalid group: `policykit' chgrp: invalid group: `policykit' Taking a peek at /etc/groups I saw this: kvm:x:101: tex:x:102: We really shouldn't be creating groups above 100, should we? Even more of a problem is explicitly specifying 102 in the policykit install script. These are reserved for user use. Your input is definitely welcome on this. -Dan
