Why makepkg --source makes empty folder "src"? Is it necessary?

[arch-general] Vuze doesn't work after update
by Madhurya Kakati 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

HI, I just updated Vuze bittorrent client to its latest version and now it doesn't run. I am using 64 bit arch and openjdk6. The output when I run vuze on the terminal is: $ vuze Starting Azureus... Suitable java version found [java = 1.6.0_20] Configuring environment... Java exec found in PATH. Verifying... Browser check failed with: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM Auto-scanning for GRE/XULRunner. You can skip this by appending the GRE path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and setting MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME. checking /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.2 for GRE Can not use GRE from /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.2 because it's missing libxpcom.so. checking /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2 for GRE GRE found at /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.

[arch-general] root on NFS and archlinux init scripts
by Thomas Bahn 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hi all, one of my systems is booting over PXE and running diskless. The root-filesystem is mounted over NFS by the kernel (with the help of the net-hook in initcpio). On shutdown there is a message '/: device is busy'. I found out, that this is originated by the netfs-script in /etc/rc.d. It tries to umount everything on the network. By removing this hook the warning went away. I think this is not as meant. Its not a critical error, only a warning, because of that i would hear you opinion on that. Additionally i discoverd following piece of code in rc.shutdown: stat_busy "Unmounting Filesystems" /bin/umount -a -r -t noramfs,notmpfs,nosysfs,noproc,nodevtmpfs -O no_netdev stat_done Here, only non-network filesystems are unmounted, right? So, an NFS-root is not unmounted on shutdown. That is not good, i think it should be looked for a solution. What do you think? Would be nice to hear from you. Greetings Thomas Bahn Here are my settings related with nfs: kernel-parameter: rootfstype=nfs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.2:/srv/nfs/erich,v3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384 ip=dhcp /etc/fstab entry for the root: none / none /etc/rc.conf: NETWORK_PERSIST = "yes" /etc/mkinitcpio.conf: MODULES="nfs" HOOKS="base udev autodetect net filesystems"

[arch-general] adding hunspell-xx packages
by Andreas Radke 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Right now we don't have modern dictionaries packaged. People use AUR packages or poor OpenOffice extensions that cannot be used for other apps. The proper way is to have hunspell-xx packages providing a dictionary, thesaurus and hyphenation data files. I'm going to add a base set of hunspell-{en,de,foo} packages to testing. A common PKGBUILD doesn't make much sense because the upstream sources are maintained in different countries and releases come at different time. This way we can make use of the packages in OOo/LibO, enchant and Mozilla's FF/TB/SM packages. The files will go into /usr/share/hunspell/xx_XX with symlinks to /usr/share/myspell/dicts/xx-XX for historical reason. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunspell for more. To compare look at http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/openoffice.org-dictionaries http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=hunspell-XX.git http://gentoo-portage.com/app-dicts/ the myspell-xx packages. Any comments or objection? -Andy

[arch-general] xdg autostart files.
by Peter Lewis 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hi, I don't know much about XDG, but I was trying to figure out why every time I started up a desktop session (KDE) wicd-tray was being loaded, when I didn't want it to be. I couldn't find any reference to it in any of the KDE autostart directories. Then I noticed that it has a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart, which is owned by wicd. I guess that I can delete the file, but that's a bit messy and it'll just get replaced when wicd gets upgraded anyway. Is this really the right thing to do? Should that .desktop file be in the package or should it be up to the user to decide whether or not to load the GTK client? Or is there another (preferred) way to disable it that I'm not aware of? Thanks, Pete.

[arch-general] Package coordination with archlinuxfr repo?
by David C. Rankin 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Guys, How are packages coordinated between core, extra, community and archlinuxfr? I ask because there seems to be a lag in some of the package on archlinuxfr. I understand that archlinuxfr isn't "official", but there still needs to be some coordination when major updates like gcc take place. Of interest specifically: :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: gcc-gcj: local (4.5.2-1) is newer than archlinuxfr (4.5.1-1) warning: pdftk: local (1.44-2) is newer than archlinuxfr (1.41-5) Once Arch bumped to gcc 4.5.2, gcc-gcj and pdftk had to be uninstalled and rebuilt from AUR. That's fine, but it just seems strange that archlinuxfr still has packages dependent on gcc 4.5.1. I know the gcc-gcj and pdftk PKGBUILDS are updated for 4.5.2 -- I did it. Do we need to send an email to the maintainer? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
