lol... gsoc students aren't going to get sponsored for making packages you'd have to be in a distro that does their own projects like fedora it'd be like slackware asking for gsoc 2011/2/25 Ángel Velásquez <angvp(a)archlinux.org>: > Hi, > > I'm just wondering why we didn't participate in GSoC, many open source > projects got improved for this kind of programs. > > Just wondering areas in which we can receive and mentor students with > the permission of the projects owner I will do a list of possible > areas of work: > > * Pacman (Adding signed packages) > * AIF and archiso integration > * Namcap > * Netcfg > * <insert project here> > > Please don't kill me if the idea is wrong, It just came to my mind that idea. > > Cheers > > -- > Angel Velásquez > angvp @ irc.freenode.net > Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User > Linux Counter: #359909 > http://www.angvp.com >

Is there a standard tool that takes a source bundle, as produced by `makepkg --source`, and builds from that? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay

[arch-general] protect Template:Article summary link 1x ?
by David C. Rankin 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Guys, I created a template for the Trinity wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Template:Article_summary_link_1x Is there a way that somebody can "protect" it like the other Article summary templates are? For those that use the Template:Article_summary_link feature, this version reduces the padding to allow a condensed link list in the summary. See e.g 'PKGBUILD Downloads' heading in the summary: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trinity -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] GHC 7.0.2 and Haskell packages in [testing] and [community-testing]
by Rémy Oudompheng 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hello, GHC has been updated to 7.0.2 in the [testing] and [community-testing] repositories. As with all GHC upgrades, you may have to cleanup globally registered packages if they did not upgrade properly, as well as your local Haskell packages. The usual parts of Haskell Platform (everything except OpenGL) are also in [testing]. Haskell Platform has been updated to version 2011.2. Regards, Rémy.

[arch-general] Missing dependency perl-convert-binhex of perl-mime-tools
by 郑文辉 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

The package perl-mime-tools in [Extra] was required by the amavisd-new.While starting amavisd,the error below has occured. > fetch_modules: error loading optional module MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm: > Can't locate Convert/BinHex.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl /usr/lib/perl5/current/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/current /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm line 43. > BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm line 43. > Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 197. And then,i check the code of /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm on line 43,the following code indicate that perl module Convert BinHex is needed. > use Convert::BinHex; I also checked the same debian package in http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/libmime-tools-perl,and the perl-convert-binhex was absolutely the dependency. Now,the perl-convert-binhex is in AUR,so please fix the PKGBUILD of perl-mime-tools and move perl-convert-binhex into offical repo. I have fill out a bug about this in FS#23144,hope someone can solve this problem.
