[arch-general] Apache, systemd-tmpfiles
by João Pires 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Hi, So today I as messing with my Raspberry Pi, and to avoid that the SD card have excessive writing I decided to turn /var/log into a tmpfs mount. After a reboot the httpd service stop running because the /var/log/httpd folder does not exist. So after a while I find the systemd-tmpfiles and the thing is the apache.conf in the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d only creates the /run/httpd folder, after I add a new line to also create the /var/log/httpd the service start running again. So my question is, can this be considered a bug? should I create a bug report? No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

[arch-general] makepkg --noprepare option
by kachelaqa 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

For version 4.1.1 of pacman, a --noprepare option was added to makepkg [1]. But, for version 4.1.2, the option is no longer available. I've tried searching for some discussion of why the option was removed, but have drawn a complete blank so far. Can anyone shed any light on this?

by Manuel Reimer 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hello, if I access one of my systems via "ssh" and try to use "vi" there, then it immediately returns with exit status "1". System is an up-to-date 32bit ArchLinux system. I've attached the strace output of my try to run "vi" to this mail. Can someone see there what could have happened? Reinstalling "vi" didn't fix this for me... Thank you very much in advance Yours Manuel

[arch-general] getting updates for offline computer
by Lieven Moors 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Hi, I'm using the internet connection at home to update a computer without internet. I use a script to get the updates for the offline computer, and to install them on that computer. To get a list of updated packages on the offline computer, I use the command: pacman -Sup --noconfirm Recently the package webkitgtk3 was moved to webkitgtk. But in the process, it also pulls in a new dependency harfbuzz-icu. No when I use the command above against the new sync database, harfbuzz-icu is not present in the list of packages. My question is, whether this would be considered a bug in pacman, or if this would be an expected limitation. Or maybe there is something else I don't understand... Thanks for your help, lieven

[arch-general] [procps-ng] archlinux default sysctl.conf
by Leonid Isaev 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Hi, After reading sysctl-related manpages in systemd, I started to wonder about the logic behind /etc/sysctl.conf shipped with core/procps-ng. If one follows systemd's conventions, this file should be in /usr/lib/sysctl.d and mnemonically called something like "100-archlinux-default.conf". Also note, that systemd currently doesn't document /etc/sysctl.conf at all... So is there any reason for having an Arch default sysctl.conf in /etc ? Thanks, -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
