All the ~/.vim/plugins/ links are orphan. All points to vim-script somewhere in /usr but I haven't that path in my machine. Any idea? What package install that directory or something like that?

[arch-general] ABS version of postgresql-libs does not match repo?
by Ray Kohler 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

The PKGBUILD at /var/abs/extra/postgresql-libs has version 8.4.0-1 (a version that was in testing a little while back), while the version in extra is still 8.3.7-2. This seems very dangerous since it would be easy for a non-testing user to give themselves an unintended soname bump. I'm guessing this happens because that's both the trunk and extra version for this package in svn? Might it be worthwhile to backout revs 49331 and 49332, which have this change and nothing more? Or am I missing something here?

[arch-general] vim 7.2.245-1
by Jozsef 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi. Before upgrading to vim 7.2.245-1 I removed vi, gvim and vim with pacman -R then I installed only vim 7.2.245-1 and I see my scripts and plugins for autocompition, buffers on top of window... are not working anymore. Anybody had some similar experience? Is there any fix for this or I need to start from begining and to search for scripts/plugins again and to install them from scratch? Thanks. PS: I can't imagine working without vim anymore. -- Best, Jozsef Kurucity | Web & Graphic Designer +971 50 6783113 | jozefk(a)gmx.com

[arch-general] lots of stale mirrors?
by Ray Kohler 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Following the community-deleting accident, a bunch of mirrors that are usually up to date have only synced once, and are now 30+ hours out of date. A bunch of other mirrors still haven't synced at all since community was repaired, and are now 3+ days stale. Is there something else going on now? What's up with Arch's mirror network?

[arch-general] Catalyst still in svn trunk
by Nezmer＠allurelinux.org 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

Hi , catalyst was removed from the repos for months (now available from the AUR) but the build files are still in svn trunk : http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/catalyst/trunk/ That causes tools like pbget (which can search for build files in svn then AUR) to fetch the old broken unsupported build files instead of the updated ones from AUR . catalyst-utils is still in trunk too . Shouldn't a maintenance script catch this ?

[arch-general] archlinux on old hardware
by Dimitrios Apostolou 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

Hello list, I just installed archlinux on a very old laptop of mine PIII at 500MHz with 128MB RAM. I am planning on using it as a desktop... I should mention two facts. First is that I installed from CD succesfully without problems. I remember in the past the installer would fail with such amount of ram but it seems today's squashfs goodness is paying back... So what are the current minimum requirements? The other is that I had trouble finding a truly lightweight X terminal (there were times when xterm was considered bloated ;) so I packaged myself rxvt. Most other distributions offer it so in case you decide to include it I attach the PKGBUILD. I'm wondering, what's the oldest equipment you run archlinux on? Is it for desktop or server usage? Thanks, Dimitris

[arch-general] Please update the "gavl" package or gstreamer will continue breaking
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

Hey, the current gavl package in [community] is seemingly compiled with wrong CFLAGS and thus it breaks on older CPUs in conjunction with the newest gstreamer update. I flagged the package a week ago and shot the maintainer a mail but no answer. Can somebody update the package real quick please? Doing so will fix FS#16060. Tested and working PKGBUILD for your convenience: # $Id$ # Contributor: Robert Emil Berge <filoktetes(a)linuxophic.org> # Contributor: Sven-Hendrik Haase <sh(a)lutzhaase.com> # Maintainer: Robert Emil Berge # Maintaner: Mateusz Herych <heniekk(a)gmail.com> pkgname=gavl pkgver=1.1.1 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A low level library, upon which multimedia APIs can be built." arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://gmerlin.sourceforge.net/" license=('GPL') depends=('glibc') optios=(!libtool) source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gmerlin/$pkgname-$pkgv… md5sums=('DC37718AB20ED6728EB9E10D5BB3AD17') build() { cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver} ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --without-doxygen make || return 1 make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install }

[arch-general] An evil idea --- use Git to manage the repositories
by goodmenzy＠gmail.com 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Is it possible? advantage: 1 The mirrors do not need download the total new pkgs if it just updated several files. 2 old versions of package can be retrived. 3 GIT is fast. 4 It seems cool! dis-advantage: 1 It is a torture of GIT 2 Huge of works to be done.
