[arch-general] Perl dependencies
by Qadri 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Below is an excerpt from the integrity check results from arch-dev-public. It seems like most (if not all) of these are provided by perl, though the actual packages are in AUR. What is the appropriate solution (before anyone says the bugtracker, there are already two bugs about this [1] and [2]). I can think of a few solutions: A) Making sure packages in the provides array are also in the repository B) Checking for dependencies (in just the integrity check, if it's not already in pacman) in the provides array of packages C) Shifting the set of packages below to depend on perl instead If the appropriate answer is not C), I'd be interested in adjusting the Integrity Check code. Just let me know the appropriate solution. MAQ.

[arch-general] PKGBUILD question
by Don Juan 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

I am trying to update a AUR pkgbuild I found and the source file when I download it has a - in the file name name_2.0.1-beta1 I figure out using ${pkgver//_/-} converts it properly when listing it as name_2.0.1_beta1. The problem I have run into and can not seem to find info about or something I have ever run into is that it seems bsdtar when extracting is making the name as name_2.0.1-BETA1 and not making it name_2.0.1-beta1 and makepkg fails saying it can not find the proper file of name_2.0.1-beta1. I have it as so in my PKGBUILD package() { cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${pkgver//_/-} also as cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${pkgver} the tarball being downloaded converts properly and dl's fine, it just seems to be in the next step for package, unless I just really am not grasping this yet. If so feel free to say I need to read more. But I think its something easy I am just looking over. Thank you for any time and help understanding this.

[arch-general] About cron utility
by 郑文辉(Techlive Zheng) 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Recently, I noticed that my laptop and server are using different cron utility.My laptop is using dcron while server using cronie. Then,I did some digging about the Arch default cron utility.I found a [discussion](http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2011-April/… happend on this list in April 2011. It said that dcron is dead, so cronie was choosen as default cron utility.Just before I am planning to use cronie replacing dcron on my laptop, I found that dcron has released a [update](https://github.com/dubiousjim/dcron/blob/master/CHANGELOG) on May 1st 2011 just after the discussion with some bugfixes and improvements like anacron support. What happend at that time? Is Jim Pryor responded the discussion in the maillist? Any link? Which cron utility should I use,cronie or dcron? Cronie in base group seems has a separate anacrontab in /etc which is not kiss I think? If anacron functionity has been included in dcron by default, May be dron is a good choice? It seems Jim Pryor is using Arch bug tracker as its official place of dcron development.Is this project dead or alive? So,what is the official recommendation on this point?

[arch-general] Proprietary nvidia driver for kernel-ARCH and kernel-rt
by Ralf Madorf 08 Jan '12

Hi :) regarding to the rt issues I followed the explanations at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12132 . I still get an issues with http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32908 . It's not only the described problem. If I boot 3.1.7-1-Arch I get "nvidia: version magic '3.0-rt' should be '3.1.7-1-ARCH'" and if I boot 3.0-rt I get "WARNING: GDMDisplay[snip]", both times X doesn't start. FWIW I build a regular AUR kernel-rt. Is there a way to fix this [1]? Ciao!
