[arch-general] updated PKGBUILD for openswan
by Ray Kohler 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

The openswan package in core is rather old. I've updated the PKGBUILD for the latest version, 2.6.23. This includes rather a lot of build changes - some are cleanup that could have happened before, some are new for upstream changes. I built this to investigate whether I could use it instead of strongSwan. I could not get it to work for my purposes, but rather than let that work go to waste, I figured I'd submit the PKGBUILD here.

[arch-general] [signoff] kernel26 2.6.31.1-1
by Thomas Bächler 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

Kernel is in testing for both architectures, please sign off (at least one for x86_64, two for i686). I think tpowa had the kernel all ready to move to core, except he was waiting for the .1 release, which is there now. The only thing bugging me is http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16149, opinions?

[arch-general] Musepack-tools SV8 PKGBUILDs
by JM 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

Hello, The Musepack project has just released the two libraries [1] required for building musepack-tools SV8, which is the current stable version. The version in the repos is SV7. I have started preparing PKGBUILDs but apparently my cmake-fu is not as strong as I thought. While I was able to prepare PKGBUILDS and patches (borrowing bits from Gentoo) for both libraries, I failed at musepack-tools. It's been over two hours and I am tired and hungry. Please find the relevant files attached and not mock me too much. Regards, JM [1] http://www.musepack.net/index.php?pg=src

[arch-general] rsync for mirroring
by Piyush P Kurur 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hi, I am part of a group of people who run a mirror for some GNU/Linux distros. I have a question regarding how rsync works. The question is prompted by the frequent overloading of rsync mirrors. If I am not mistaken the overall idea behind rsync is the following (I am assuming that dest wants to update form src) (1) dest computes a signature of the current snapshot of its file system sends to src. (2) src goes over the its current snapshot and calculates a delta (changes) from the signature that dest sends. (3) src then sends the delta to dest and dest updates. Although this seems fine for a single source single destination system, doesint it lead to overloading of src when there are multiple dest, like in the case of mirroring, src has to compute the delta which is a time consuming process. Alternatively if the src can do the delta computation once and for all then it will improve the efficiency a lot. One can imagine that a destination mirror can keep track of a snapshot time when it last synced and send the src just this. src keeps track of all the deltas, somewhat like rdiff-backup and then sends the dest all the deltas that will get it uptodate. Regards ppk

There is for each languale a package with <countrycode>_<COUNTRYCODE> and <countrycode>_<countrycode> showing up on https://dev.archlinux.org/packages/. So if someone does a pacman -S thunderbird-spell-de_DE, she will still get a not working release 2.0.0.23-2. Regards Stefan

[arch-general] TeXLive problems
by Piyush P Kurur 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

I am having problems with the texlive package. I tried to install the package texlive-most and here is the error that pacman throws /usr/share/texmf-dist/bibtex/bib/amsrefs/amsj.bib exists in both 'texlive-core' and 'texlive-bibtexextra' /usr/share/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/amsrefs/amsra.bst exists in both 'texlive-core' and 'texlive-bibtexextra' [many similar lines] Looks like ams packages have got into bot texlive-core and texlive-latexextra. File a bug report ? Regards ppk
