[arch-general] Something really wrong with yum-createrepo from AUR - doesn't work.
by David C. Rankin 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Guys, The yum-createrepo package seems not to be the same as the createrepo package that you normally see. Specifically executing the yum-createrepo script with the help option discloses: [13:35 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # createrepo --help Usage: genpkgmetadata.py [options] Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -q, --quiet output nothing except for serious errors -v, --verbose output more debugging info. <snip> Huh?? Usage: genpkgmetadata.py [options] genpkgmetadata.py is part of createrepo, but the expected output is: 13:38 nemesis:~> createrepo --help createrepo [options] directory-of-packages Options: -u, --baseurl <url> = optional base url location for all files -o, --outputdir <dir> = optional directory to output to -x, --exclude = files globs to exclude, can be specified multiple times -q, --quiet = run quietly The AUR package doesn't seem to be looking for the correct input. You can't create or update a repository without specifying where the repository is?? However, the packages do share many of the same options "-p pretty, -d create sqlite dbs, etc..", but regardless, running the yum-createrepo from AUR fails: [13:41 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # createrepo --update -d factory_11.0/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 249, in <module> main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 223, in main mdgen.doPkgMetadata() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 367, in doPkgMetadata self.writeMetadataDocs(packages) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 531, in writeMetadataDocs self.primaryfile.write(po.xml_dump_primary_metadata()) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 1082, in xml_dump_primary_metadata msg += misc.to_unicode(self._dump_format_items()) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 967, in _dump_format_items msg += self._dump_requires() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 1022, in _dump_requires mylist = self._requires_with_pre() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 1278, in _requires_with_pre pre = map(self._is_pre_req, lst) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 1268, in _is_pre_req rpm.RPMSENSE_SCRIPT_PRE | AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_PREREQ' Anybody have an idea what is going on? I think if the errors are corrected it will work, but I'm nut sure the PKGCONFIG is putting all the pieces together correctly. I guess I'll try just putting the package together from source and compare what is going on, but if anybody has any ideas, I would welcome the input and help. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

In other bug trackers I haven't seen never ending discussions and flame wars on closed bugs, yet. Sometimes long discussions happen on open bugs, but usually in a factual manner, and usually there's a reason for this, because it's a controversial issue. If a comment is written on a closed bug it's just to give some more details, because the fix is not quite sufficient or could be made still better or the like. And in cases in which it's possible to reopen a bug directly without sending a request, I also haven't seen exploitations. Usually the bug is reopened once or twice to give another argument or another aspect. But then it's alright. How many bug reports are actually invalid because of an imperfect knowledge or (search) laziness of the reporter? How many bug reports are of the type Aaron Griffin has mentioned before (Feature request, closed as "won't implement", reopend with "but it's a good feature", denied with "we won't implement this, wait for upstream", reopened, denied)? Are there really so many of them? I have my doubts. Or is this more the developer's fear that this could happen? And as I've written in other e-mails, don't see only your developer's point of view. See also the user's and reporter's point of view and how a certain bug handling (early closings, forcing reopening requests (begging), etc.) is or at least can be received by the user/reporter. Btw., comments on closed bugs is more or less a minor issue. The bigger issue is the early bug closing. ;-) Heiko

[arch-general] Where to install python apps: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xyz??
by David C. Rankin 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Guy, I know nothing about python other than what it is. I need to install repoview-0.6.5 on my arch server, but I'm not sure where. Looking at the other python apps like cairo, FusionIcon, etc.. thay seem to be installed as a subdirectory to: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ The repoview directory contains: drwxr-xr-x 3 david david 4096 Feb 19 13:31 templates -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 3457 Feb 19 13:31 ChangeLog -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 18009 Mar 3 2005 COPYING -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 708 Jul 19 2007 README -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 2634 Sep 27 2007 repoview.8 -rwxr-xr-x 1 david david 32932 Feb 19 13:31 repoview.py Do I just move the directory to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/? Then is there something else I need to do to "register" (for lack of better words) repoview somewhere so python knows it is there? Then what about the man page? Anything special required to do I just move it to /usr/share/man or /usr/local/man? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Ideally the one who opened the bug should give an ACK for having their bug closed. There is always something to say. At least a confirmation that the bug was fixed. Eventually a comment about how it was fixed. And you might have additional information / explanation / clarification that is mostly interesting for the people who followed that bug. It seems completely stupid to need a reopen request just to do that.

IIRC aif (the installer) uses pacman with that config file, so it might just work, although i never tried it myself. if you are not afraid of looking at bash scripts, look at the source code of aif then you'll see how exactly it works.

[arch-general] LTS kernel still boots but MPPC patched one does not after manual updates
by Nigel Henry 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Big problemo. Wanting to get access to my sons MS vpn server which needs MPPC, I found and installed an MPPC patched kernel26, and MPPC patched ppp. No problems so far, and both the LTS, and the MPPC patched kernels booted with no problems. My Arch install hadn't been updated since 20090928, and as accessing the vpn server and retrieving the shares still wasn't working, I did a pacman -Sy, and pacman -Su hoping that some update might resolve the problem. After saying yes to a bunch of stuff to do with klibc (replacing packages), pacman -Su failed saying kdelib needs phonon. Can't install phonon because it wants to remove qt (qt4). I have KDEmod3 so there is no need for phonon anyway. Not the best way to do a full system upgrade, but I went at it manually, working my way through starting at (A). Some packages wont upgrade, wanting to remove mkinitcpio, which you can't remove as it's needed by the kernels. Others didn't want to upgrade saying warning: provider package was selected (that was resolved later on during my manual upgrading). All went ok the first day 20090309, and the only thing I needed to say yes to was replacing kernel-headers with linux-api-headers. The next morning I booted with the MPPC patched kernel with no problems, just to see if any of the updates had resolved the vpn problem, but no. Rebooted with the LTS kernel, and continued with the updates, rebooting from time to time with the LTS kernel to make sure that nothing had broken. Got as far as ntp, then had a go at gdm, which I'd been putting off (I've had problems with that before). rebooted after that, and gdm failed with the below output. gdm (gdm-binary:2033) couldn't connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket No such file or directory Having already had the machine down one day, working in runlevel 1 to resolve the missing libpng12 problem (that was on the 8th march) I was a bit T'd off now, but startx worked, so I reinstalled the previous gdm which thankfully worked. I'd now had enough for the days work, so shut down. Day 20100311. Now the manure starts to hit the fan. Tried to boot the MPPC patched kernel, which failed with: cannot find /dev/sda7, device does not exist. Gave udev time, but nothing. Tried the MPPC failsafe kenel, but the same there. Tried the LTS kernel, and thankfully that booted ok. Googled a lot, and found references to the problem, but didn't see any fixes. One mentioned udev, and knowing that the udev update had been pulled in by one of the packages I'd updated, I looked at /etc/udev/rules.d, and udev.rules was showing as udev.rules.pacnew (I presume that is due to the new mkinitcpio and mkinitcpio-busybox using mdev, but mkinitcpio wont upgrade, claiming that a bunch of files still exist.). I renamed udev.rules.pacnew to udev.rules, and rebooted with the MPPC kernel, but it still wont boot. Tried reinstalling MPPC patched kernel, but no change. Original install output below (when it booted ok prior to my manual updating fiasco), followed by the install output from the reinstall (which still wont boot). Had to remove madwifi, and ndiswrapper to originally install this kernel. :: madwifi: requires kernel26>=2.6.30 :: ndiswrapper: requires kernel26>=2.6.30 [root@myhost Archlinux-mppc-kernel]# pacman -U kernel26-2.6.24.3-3-i686.pkg.tar.gz loading package data... checking dependencies...
