[arch-general] Pacman FInnish translation help wanted
by Jesse Juhani Jaara 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

So in short I would like someone to do little spell checking and other checking on the Finnish translation I'm working on. A bigger post I posted on archlinux.fi forums earlier (in Finnish ) ________________________________________________________________________ Eli olen siis kääntänyt pacmanin 70% prosenttisesti ja aion saada sen kokonaan käännetyksi sunnuntai 13.3 mennessä, jotta se saataisiin sisällytettyä pacmanin uuteen 3.5 julkaisuun joka tapahtunee seuravaalla viikolla. Olen tähän nyt kääntänyt pacmanista 32/64bittiset versiot suomennoksella varustettuna valmiiksi että muut voisivat siitä kaikenmailman virheitä sekä vaikeaselkoisuksia etsiä, jotta käännös olisi mahdollisimman laadukas jo ensimmäiseesä julkaisussaan. Käännös ei tosiaan ole vielä 100%. Näin äkkiseltään kun itse testasin niin ohjeviestien tasaus ei ole aivan kohdallaan. Raaka linkki itse käännöstiedostoon. Tästä on hyvä etsiä kirjoitus ja yhdysana virheitä: http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/arc … /download/ Tässä on linkki tiedostoihin jotka voi käsin kopioda koneellee ilman että tarvitsee päivittää itse pacmania. Kopoi .mo tiedostot kansioon /usr/share/local/fi/LC_MESSAGES/: http://huulivoide.pp.fi/Arch/pacman/käännökset.tar.xz Ota huomioon että tämä on git versio pacmanista, jota ei ole vielä testattu suuremmin joten sen käyttö voi aiheutaa vahinkoja koneelle, joten on suositeltavaa asentaa se virtuaali koneeseen tai chroottiin tai ottaa varmuuskopia enne käyttämistä. Todennäköisesti suurempia vahinkoja ei pitäsisi sattua. Mutta en mene lupaamaan pacman-i686-git: http://huulivoide.pp.fi/Arch/pacman/pac … pkg.tar.xz pacman-x86_64-git: http://huulivoide.pp.fi/Arch/pacman/pac … pkg.tar.xz Korjaukset ja ehdotukset miuluiten s-posti ositteeseen: jesse.jaara(a)gmail.com ________________________________________________________________________

[arch-general] Sharing data between Windows 7 and Archlinux
by Madhurya Kakati 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi all, Got hold of a cheap laptop. I want to use it as my download rig. It will be on most of the time downloading torrents. The laptop actually came with Windows XP installed. I setup the laptop ip as 192.168.1.5 and my desktop (running Windows 7) ip as 192.168.1.4. After doing that I connected both of them using a lan wire. I then enable sharing on both of them and I could transfer files directly from one computer to the other at speeds of upto 75MBps. I want to know how to do the same with archlinux or Windows 7 running on my desktop and archlinux running on the desktop. Please tell me how to do that. I want to be able to tranfer downloaded content directly from the laptop to the desktop using a lan cable. Thanks.

[arch-general] GSoC 2011 - Join forces
by Markus M. May 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hello, there seem to be some interest in the participation of Arch Linux on GSoC 2011. The ArchServer community has decided to participate, but since we are a small and quite new project, we do not think to get accepted. So why not join forces in this effort. I guess we do have similar goals (e.g. every Arch Linux based distro will benefit from the extension of pacman). ArchServer can bring the application to the plate, which will need to get adapted to the new structure obviously (http://wiki.archserver.org/index.php/GSoC2011_Application). I envision some umbrella project for Arch Linux, ArchServer and probably even other Arch Linux based distros. Of course we do have a very tough timeframe to get this up. What do you think? R, Markus

OK- we have most of them in, I'm going to set a deadline of this Sunday (March 13) so we can release early next week.

[arch-general] Build in clean chroot
by Baho Utot 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

I have a chroot devel environment like this /home+build/ / root/ - srch chroot build made with mkarchroot / /trinity.source - a symlink ie ln -s ../trinity.source / copy - made by makechrootpkg / pkgbuild - where the pkgbuild live / trinity.source - a subversion repo checkout of source code I then fetch the subversion rev level to use as the pkgver number like this _source=trinity.source _module=kdepim cd ${_source}/${_module} pkgver=$(svnversion) This gives me an error /build/PKGBUILD: line 25: cd: /trinity.source/kdepim: Too many levels of symbolic links I want to symlink the svn repo to inside the chroot so when makechrootpkg -c -r <chrootdir> creates the clean copy it doesn't have to copy the entire svn source code to the clean copy, as it is almost 2G is size. Anyone know of a way to get around this?

[arch-general] HTTP Custom Mirror on Install
by Thomas Misilo 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Good Evening, I was trying to use a custom mirror during an install today, it is only a HTTP server currently. Is this a problem, does it need to be ftp? As the mirror does work with pacman after install. Thanks! Tom

[arch-general] MPD httpd vorbis buggy?
by Karol Babioch 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi, I've set up MPD with an additional http stream. Default for the encoding engine seems to be "vorbis". However it seems to be extreme buggy, at least for me. I've tried it as stand alone output, as well as in combination with pulse. It crashed quite irregularly during the normal playback, but it took nether longer than 1 minute. At least changing the song crashed it every time. I couldn't reconnect to the stream, but it was down. Only option was to restart mpd daemon itself. The log file said something like "error initializing vorbis encoder" After some fiddling with the configuration I changed the encoder to lame, which works great so far, even changing the song works ;). Before reporting any kind of bug, I wanted to ask you, whether someone has made the same experience? Is it something individual for me? Is something with Arch wrong? Or is it really an upstream issue? Best regards, Karol Babioch

Hi, I was checking the wiki license, that says GNU FDL 1.2, but links to GNU FDL 1.3, so... which one should I pick? :) -- Salud!

[arch-general] Several advices about Perl Package Packaging Standards
by 郑文辉 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hey,guys I have several thoughts about perl packages packing standards. First,It seems to me that renaming spamassassin to perl-mail-spamassassin which following the cpan perl packages naming standard is better.May be we can add a feature to PKGBULD that allowing package have several alias.Ex,perl-mail-spamassassin should be the official name and spamassassin could be the common name or aliase.Both official name and standard name can be installed or qureied using pacman,but official name mostly used in programing and official posts. Second,the URL variable of perl package's PKGBUILD should be restriced to cpan permanent urls (like:http://search.cpan.org/dist/*) even if the project has its own home page,and the cpan will link to the project's real homepage if exits. What do you think?
