[arch-general] fakeroot package() -> mkdir: cannot create directory : Permission denied
by David C. Rankin 04 Mar '12

04 Mar '12

Guys, This is the first time I've seen makepkg not be able to create the $pkgdir/<dir> needed to package a file. I take it from the forum posts that this usually means that makepkg is trying to create the file in the actual filesystem instead of in the fakeroot $pkgdir. (eg: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=999088) However, I cannot figure out what is causing it to do so on this simple package. The actual error I receive is: ==> Packaging - tde-tqca-tls mkdir: cannot create directory `/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/': Permission denied make: *** [install_target] Error 1 What has me puzzled is this is a simple little package. The entire $srcdir/$pkgname after building is just: 16:24 nirvana:/mnt/nv1/home/chroot/david/build> l src/tqca-tls total 388 drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 4096 Mar 3 16:22 . drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody nobody 4096 Mar 3 16:22 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody nobody 11839 Mar 3 16:22 configure -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 436 Mar 3 16:22 conf.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 128 Mar 3 16:22 conf.pri -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 26430 Feb 16 11:55 COPYING -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 74 Mar 3 16:22 extra.pri -rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody nobody 98829 Mar 3 16:22 libqca-tls.so -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 3557 Mar 3 16:22 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 1743 Feb 16 11:55 openssl.qcm -rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody nobody 62 Feb 16 11:55 prepare -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 10409 Feb 17 17:22 qca.h -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 6028 Feb 16 11:55 qcaprovider.h -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 29465 Feb 16 11:55 qca-tls.cpp -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 1014 Feb 16 11:55 qca-tls.h -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 143896 Mar 3 16:22 qca-tls.o -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 478 Feb 16 11:55 qca-tls.pro -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 148 Feb 16 11:55 qca-tls.qc -rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody nobody 119 Feb 16 11:55 qcextra -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 360 Feb 16 11:55 README Looking at the Makefile generate by configure, the install part of the makefile is: install_target: all @$(CHK_DIR_EXISTS) "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/" || $(MKDIR) "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/" -$(INSTALL_FILE) "$(TARGET)" "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/$(TARGET)" -strip --strip-unneeded "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/$(TARGET)" The complete makefile is: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/arch/err/Makefile-tqca-tls.txt I'm not sure what makepkg needs to tell it to put the packages in the $pkgdir from within the Makefile.

[arch-general] ghc 7.4.1 moved to extra
by Thomas Dziedzic 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

I have finally moved the new ghc to arch repos. With this cleanup comes a bit of change. The decision has been made that ghc will be updated to the latest stable version and haskell-platform will be moved to the aur. This means you should remove the haskell-platform related packages before updating. I will also keep only essential packages and their dependencies related to haskell in [extra]. For now this means cabal-install and ghc + their depends. I have closed the following bugs with this release: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23247 - [ghc 7.0.2] ghci -package ghc causes panic https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27132 - [ghc] re-enable the strip makepkg option https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18917 - [ghc] ghc.install :: test if directory exists https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28758 - [haskell-text] uninstallable due to removal of haskell-deepseq https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25991 - haskell-glut: undefined references to pretty much all glut functions https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25072 - [alex][happy][cabal-install] missing makedepnds The following bugs are still open which I will fix as soon as cabal-install and darcs are buildable: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27249 - [cabal-install] Add bash completion support https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26955 - [darcs] missing makedependence haskell-hashed-storage<0.6 There are still some issues left with the current situation of haskell on arch, but these will take time and communication with upstream. *I need to figure out what to do about haddock since ghc only packages the binary and thus provides only half the package with ghc. This is the reason why we packaged haskell-haddock even though the ghc package already provides the haddock binary. *The post-install messages related to haskell packages can get pretty long. There is a proposed solution with a patch, but I need to figure out if there is any way we can work it out with upstream first. *There is no cabal-install or darcs version that is marked as stable and currently builds with ghc 7.4.1 These packages are statically linked so it shouldn't matter for now. I will be keeping an eye on these packages and waiting for upstream to provide new stable versions that builds against the latest ghc. Cheers!

[arch-general] command line utility questions
by Jude DaShiell 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

What does arch linux use for burning cd's and dvd's? It's not cdrecord or wodim I checked for those two and found nothing, unless I need to add a repository to my searching. Also what does arch linux use for a spreadsheet for command line users? Finally, what would a pacman search designed to find all spreadsheet programs in arch linux look like? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] arch with sata drives
by Jude DaShiell 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

So far as I can tell, it works fine and arch has no problem with amd K8 machines either. I have Tim Brennan's talking arch installed on a 1.5TB sata disk and that was something debian couldn't do. Slackware also had no problem with the sata drive either. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] Gringotts, alternatives?
by Magnus Therning 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Gringotts has stopped working with a not completely uncommon error: ***MEMORY-ERROR***: [10817]: GSlice: failed to allocate 1008 bytes (alignment: 1024): Cannot allocate memory Given the time since the last release I'd be surprised if it's fixed any time soon. Also, I've never been extremely impressed with it so maybe this is a good time to look for an alternative. This means I now have two problems to solve, and any help on either would be appreciated: 1. How do I get the data out of the gringotts vault? Is there any other application that can read it and help me pull everything out? (I suppose I can always move the vault over to a Ubuntu box and extract it there, but I'd rather avoid that if possible ;-) 2. What alternatives to gringotts exist? What do other ArchLinux users keep their secret notes save? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

[arch-general] mkinitcpio
by Myra Nelson 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

I don't think this is significant enough to warrant a bug. Since the linux-3.2.6-1 kernel updates ( I don't remeber which version of mkinitcpio, sorry), I've been getting the following warning when mkinitcpio runs during the kernel install: cp: warning: source file `/lib/modules/3.2.9-1-ARCH/kernel/fs/ext4/ext4.ko.gz' specified more than once I originally thought it was due to my inclusion of the mkinitcpio-numlock hook from the AUR, but I have a fresh install on a new machine, without the numlock hook and get the same warning. I searched the bug tracker and found no reference to this. /usr is not mounted on a separte partition. my box HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems usb usbinput fsck numlock" new box HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems usb usbinput fsck" Since it's a warning not an error and doesn't appear to have any deliterious effects, it's not a problem. I just wondered if it's something I'm doing or if it's something in the hooks in mkinitcpio. Ciao for now Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
