[arch-general] Why are financial contributions not accepted?
by Bill Day 02 May '11

02 May '11

It's not that I really have money to give away, but I was struck by the notice on the Arch web site that financial contributions are not currently accepted, although they have been in the past. Given that there has apparently been some discussion of lack of resources for the distro, it seems to me to be reasonable to ask why those of us who can't code can't try to provide a little relief and support for Arch's hard-working volunteers in other ways. -- Bill Day williamson.day(a)gmail.com

[arch-general] Dmenu vs. KMS
by Stan 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hi, guys. Have some troubles with dmenu(4.2.1-1), stock kernel(2.6.38.4-1) and perhaps xf86-video-ati(6.14.1-1): dmenu lags. Vertical listing is really pain in the ass(latency ~1 sec) and with blob everything works just fine. If anyone has the same here i'll post it to suckless's or x.org's bugzilla. Device: Radeon HD4570 Mobile How to test: o In attachments there is file named "test". o Command: cat test | dmenu -l 10 o Lags(or no lags)

[arch-general] what about a gtk3-docs package?
by Aljosha Papsch 01 May '11

01 May '11

Hi, I recently installed the dev tools for GNOME development and wondered why devhelp displayed no documentation for GTK3. Apparently there is no gtk3-docs package. Is it intented to not have that package (which makes no sense as there is the gtk2-docs package)? Now that GNOME 3 moved to [extra] it would be great to have the docs at hand. Thanks.

[arch-general] pacman: -Rd remove with no dependency check changed?
by Marek Otahal 01 May '11

01 May '11

Hello, I just wanted to remove and install again some pkg because something screwed.. I run $ sudo pacman -Rd pm-utils checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: upower: requires pm-utils AFAIK this was the point of -d (--nodeps) to remove the files without whining about dependencies? Is this a bug? Or how do I achieve the old behavior? Thank you, Mark -- Marek Otahal :o)

[arch-general] gnome 3 is moving to extra
by Ionut Biru 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

## GNOME 3.0.1 is being moved in [extra] This is a major update and you should take note of a couple of things: * GNOME3 is replacing GNOME2 * GNOME3 has two modes, "standard" mode (gnome-shell) and "fallback" mode (gnome-panel + metacity) * Some packages, like applets using Bonobo, will be dropped in the next few days. A list will be available at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_3/Packages_dropped * pulseaudio is now required to run the GNOME desktop Update and installation instructions are available at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_3 Only bugs related to packaging should be reported to http://bugs.archlinux.org/ Crashes and feature requests should be reported to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ -- Ionuț

Good day, Is there any way to force makepkg to build a PKGBUILD-svn with a fixed svn version? version 133 of periscope-svn is broken and I want to go back to version 132. Thanks

Doing this at the end of dbus rc.d script will fix this issue but seems to be less generic than at the end of rc.multi. Because it will not allow other programs launched in udev rules to start if a daemon is required. > On a related note: I noticed that udev upstream recently removed the > call to udevadm trigger --type=failed from their systemd unit files, > which would imply that they think this should never be necessary.

So maybe it is worth > investigating why upstream made the change. Last commit remove option from manpage and add a death condition in TODO to --type failed. Actually this is probably a bad idea to patch in this way. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=864fde8a087c0edb… I see nothing about this in linux-hotplug mailing list. I will ask them. Thanks a lot for your help Tom! -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net

Deal with it for now. :) filesizeformat [1] built-in filter to the rescue. However, I'm not sure if it'll mess up the jQuery sort thingy. To run this filter for the package compressed/installed size, the template code [2] might be modified to something like this: {% for attr in column_attrs %} <td> {% if attr == 'compressed_size' or attr == 'installed_size' %} {{ pkg|attribute:attr|filesizeformat }} {% else %} {{ pkg|attribute:attr }} {% endif %} </td> {% endfor %} [1] http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/templates/builtins/#filesizeformat [2] http://projects.archlinux.org/archweb.git/tree/templates/devel/packages.htm…
