[arch-general] wkhtmltopdf

Hi List/Evangelos: This is a really useful utility, I'd like to use it to join documents. It dosn't seem to be built against a 'patched version' of qt whatever that may mean.: "This version of wkhtmltopdf is build against an unpatched version of QT, and does not support more then one input document." I see that there is a PKGBUILD, and wondered if anyone knew how to get a 'patched version' of QT to build it against to get more functionality. # $Id: PKGBUILD 9613 2010-01-27 18:28:19Z foutrelis $ # Maintainer: Evangelos Foutras <foutrelis(a)gmail.com> pkgname=wkhtmltopdf pkgver=0.9.1 pkgrel=2 pkgdesc="Simple shell utility to convert html to pdf using the webkit rendering engine, and qt" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/" license=('GPL3') depends=('qt') optdepends=('xorg-server: wkhtmltopdf needs X or Xvfb to operate') source=(http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2) md5sums=('e597b0593081177741b13543f22fd791') build() { cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver" qmake wkhtmltopdf.pro make || return 1 make INSTALL_ROOT="$pkgdir/usr" install || return 1 # Generate and install man page install -d "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1" ./wkhtmltopdf --manpage >"$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man1/wkhtmltopdf.1" } Regards Richard

[arch-general] Full update, kde44 and virtualbox is working again - excellent
by David C. Rankin 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Listmates, After full update to kde44 and all packages from testing/community-testing, virtualbox is working again. Cool! So far so good. Thanks for the quick work getting all the packages together. All anyone with the other distros sees is the little notice at kde.org "KDE 4.4 Has Been Release". With Arch -- you get to run it too! :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] WARNING: mkinitcpio 0.5.99.3 (kill-klibc) live in testing!
by Thomas Bächler 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Okay, this is it. The busybox-based mkinitcpio is entering testing now. BACK UP YOUR OLD (WORKING) INITRAMFS (kernel26.img) FILE! Also, do NOT use this if you have root on NFS, it is NOT IMPLEMENTED yet. Known issues: If you use 2.6.33 and enable the support for ext2/ext3 in the ext4 driver, root on ext2/3 won't work with the autodetect hook, I'll fix that for the next version. Number of systems that failed to boot after the upgrade: 0 (so far) Hooks adjusted: All base hooks + keymap, encrypt, lvm2, mdadm, dmraid, raid (now a symlink to mdadm), v86d. (Also, I hear that the uresume hook works without modification). I am still looking for someone to implement NFS root with this, please contact me if you are interested. This will not be the final version, there is still some work to do, but for now this requires more testing.

You could either ask more often for user signoff on arch-general, or maybe give the status of testers to some active arch members who use testing (if any users are interested at all..)

[arch-general] policykit vs polkit
by Lukáš Jirkovský 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hi, I just found out that policykit on my package is no longer needed. Because it looked strange to me a took a look at other packages and found polkit package. What is the difference between these two (policykit and polkit)? Both seems to provide the same package. regards, Lukas

[arch-general] Syncing the mirrors
by Benedikt Müller 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We have a bit update today, and we see: The syncing process is not really good. So I suggest to change the procedure mirrorsyncs are done: We should have primary and secondary mirrors. When al.org is updated, the sync process of the primary mirrors should be started via ssh(or something similar). Then the primary mirrors start the sync process on the secondary mirrors via ssh. So the al.org server isn't overloaded and the mirrors are more up to date because of the push way. - -- Gruß, Benedikt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAktlkM4ACgkQEbgIp8utRvBwAwCgiv9qBi/hEP5Xr447gHrauExn f5kAnAs7uzHXPIhz+Q+JnQAkwfJms2/T =6iqt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
