[arch-general] [AUR-Server] lastsync file on aur.archlinux.org
by Gerhard Brauer 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hi, since 3-4 days i notice on mirrorchecking that for community repos the status file for indicate the last sync of the mirror switch temporary on some mirrors between actual(synced) and a out-of-sync period from ~16 days. It seems that only mirrors are affected which snyc more than once a day and when theys sync from rsync.archlinux.org. So somewhat "switches" the lastsync file (which is automatically generated by cron each hour on gerolde for all repos). I don't know how or if aur.archlinux.org and gerolde get synced, but please: could one admin look if on aur.al.org is in the community repos a file named lastsync? If you, please remove this so it don't overwrite the generated one on gerolde. If you look currently on: http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html you could see several mirror with comminity outdated. And maybe on the next check they are all synced again and overnext check they are bad once more. Short (Sorry for my bad english <g>): If you found a lastsync file on aur.al.org in the repos - please remove it... Gerhard "gerbra"

[arch-general] About user signoffs
by Denis A. Altoé Falqueto 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hi all. I would like to know how can we, common and lay users, give signoffs on the packages that we use in testing. I know that arch-public-dev is read only for non developpers and I would like to help too. Can we send the signoffs in this list? Thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------- Denis A.

[arch-general] libreadline.so issues
by Samuel Baldwin 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

The other day I tried to install K3B on my x86_64 laptop, and midway through it I got some errors, so I ran pacman -Sy k3b and it got about midway through before I started getting error messages about the computer not being able to find libreadline.so. I use zsh as my shell for my normal user, but bash for root, and I couldn't login as root anymore. I shutdown the machine (sudo worked, thankfully, but not sudo -s), but now when I boot I get errors when it tries to enter runlevel 3 (I haven't played with any runlevel stuff): /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory INIT: Entering runlvel: 3 /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I could just wipe / and start over, but I'd prefer to find a better way to deal with this. I haven't installed anything on my desktop (x86_64 as well) for fear this is will trash that machine as well. Any suggestions? -- Samuel 'Shardz' Baldwin - staticfree.info/~samuel

[arch-general] AUR Search
by Andrei Thorp 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hello there! Today, I'd like to be all complainy about the AUR search feature. I haven't really looked around, but are there plans to improve it? Or is the solution just "use google with site://"? It seems to be kind of bad at finding stuff. Some examples: - Can't search by description (well, it does search by description by default, but it's not in the advanced options anywhere) - Can't really do any decent multi-word searches afaik. To take an example from the other argument thread, try searching for "java gstreamer". It finds neither gstreamer-java nor java-gstreamer. It actually finds nothing at all. - Similarly, wildcards seem to not work. "java*gstreamer" has no results. - It seems to not even do exact matches first. For example, search for my package, "sup". There is a package in AUR that's exactly named "sup", but if you search for that, you get 658 results, sorted alphabetically! - Which reminds me, what about sorting by relevance somehow? Perhaps sort by a weighting of votes, age, downloads, etc. I'm sorry if I'm bringing this up as someone's already writing improvements for AUR and this is just a waste of time :) Anyway, thanks! -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp.

[arch-general] SIGSEGV in getopt, libc-problem?
by clemens fischer 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

For a few days now I noticed some programs not working, like "lzma" or "xz" from the "xz-utils". They segfault and "xz --help" says: $ /usr/bin/xz --help /usr/bin/xz: unrecognized option '--' /usr/bin/xz: Try `/usr/bin/xz --help' for more information. So I went to compile the original source, and the gdb(1) backtrace shows them to die in "_getopt_internal()". I thought my system to be inconsistent somehow, because a friend reports these programs working. I already re-installed the package. It gets its libs from archlinux package locations: $ ldd /usr/bin/xz linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb80a4000) liblzma.so.0 => /usr/lib/liblzma.so.0 (0xb806e000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb8056000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7f0e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb80a5000) It is possibly a problem with getopt_long(). Most programs work(!), ie. I only noticed this with "xz", "lzma" and friends, both the packages and hand-compiled versions. I use the bash commandline all the time with many programs calling getopt_long(), they all work. Backtrace: (gdb) run Starting program: /home/src/bulk/lzma/xz/src/xz/xz Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.2...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
