[arch-general] pacman 4 and "empty" repos
by Magnus Therning 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

In ArchHaskell we are heavy users of mkarchroot/makechrootpkg for building packages. When setting up the root chroot pacman is configured with a local db located at `/repo`, this makes already built packages available as dependencies later on in a multi-package build, and by using makechrootpkg's '-d' argument it all happens automatically. With pacman 3 this didn't cause troubles besides a few warning messages about [repo] not being available (the db isn't created until the first package is built). Pacman 4 doesn't seem as forgiving though--it fails completely unless the db exists (though it may be completely empty). Is there some way to coerce pacman 4 into being as forgiving as pacman 3 was? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

[arch-general] makepkg having troubles with extracting some sources after pacman 4 update
by Andrzej Giniewicz 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

today one of users of one of my packages (daggerfall in AUR) noticed, and I confirmed, that makepkg wasn't able to extract needed files, while it was working perfectly for pacman 3.x. The message is -> Extracting dos32a-912-bin.zip with bsdtar binw/: Can't remove already-existing dir bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. ==> ERROR: Failed to extract dos32a-912-bin.zip Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build daggerfall. I've seen other people having similar problems, for example extracting .jar file of minecraft package - googled for it and checked pacman changelog for hints, but no luck. I planned to go trough all my packages anyway to check pacman 4 compatibility. For now, I added noextract for all .zip sources and unzipped them in build function and it works as a workaround, but it isn't nicest/best way. Before opening bug report I decided to ask if this is a known thing, maybe some new feature I missed that requires some different approach for some (most likely zip) archives? Thanks, Andrzej.

[arch-general] Authorized Resume Devices and Linux 3.2
by Bastien Dejean 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi, My '/etc/rc.local' contains the following lines: echo EHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup echo EHC2 > /proc/acpi/wakeup Those commands were working fine before Linux 3.2. But now, they seem to be ineffective (i.e. the corresponding devices are marked as '*disabled' in the output of `cat /proc/acpi/wakeup`). Greetings, -- b.d (| |) ^ ^

Re: [arch-general] Help needed to find a system/graphics related bug in my Music Notation Editor. (Little time and effort for you)
by Nils 20 Jan '12

Thank you very very much for that information! This problem is the last piece before I can do my first (alpha) release. With xrandr --fbmm I could reproduce the error on the first try so I can do further tests myself now. And it really is a font issue. The lines in the display are correct but my fonts are not, not even the menu fonts. I will contact the PyQt or Qt community now to find out how to fix that. One already contacted me and notified me of a commandline parameter "-graphicssystem raster" which I have not tried yet. But the person also told me that this is a only workaround. I am excited to finally find a solution for this longstanding problem.

[arch-general] net-pf-X aliases in linux 3.2
by Leonid Isaev 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hi, I am trying to find the mapping between actual modules and net-pf-X aliases which used to be in /usr/include/linux/socket.h but not anymore... Does anybody know where these aliases are defined now? Thanks. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
