[arch-general] [signoff] kernel26 2.6.28-3
by Tobias Powalowski 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

Hi guys, new kernel adresses the following things: just a quick rebuild which adds crda as optdepend. please signoff for both arches I would like to move in kernel, klibc, mkinitcpio, module-init-tools, crda (with depends) and binary modules this week to core if you are all fine with it. Showstopper: klibc needs to be fixed. It breaks compilation of tools. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-general] Building all packages in core
by Baho Utot 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

I am presently building all the packages in abs/core against the latest abs kernel, glibc and gcc versions. I think as a goal that the core and extra repositories should be able to build against the latest tools/kernel (in the repos). There has been some failures to build for various reasons. Should I file bug reports or just contact the maintainer for the package? I don't mean to be a pest with this, I am only trying to help. FYI: This is my process: I have constructed a simple bash script that updates abs then rsyncs that to my build subdirectory and then runs makeworld. I have a lockfile so if the process is not complete before it is scheduled to run again, it will not run and skip that day. Upon completion this thing emails me the results both successful builds as well as a list of failures. I will then have a look at the failures and then file bugs reports/contacts if needed. I have placed the script into my crontab which occurs nitely until the bulk of this is complete then I am going to set it to occur every Sunday @ 00:00:00. I will then use this custom repository to keep all my systems here up to date. Thanks.

[arch-general] Help need with pkgbuild failure
by richard terry 04 Jan '09

04 Jan '09

I used to be on this list till my last email address, died, so re-joined. I posted this with a file attachment yesterday and it didn't reach the list, so here it is again, without the file. I've been programming gambas3 for some months, and use a modified PKGBUILD from an old one I obtained ages ago. I've compiled daily updates of Gambas3 svn for the last 9 months, never failed, but now won't work complaining it can't find: -lqt-mt These files seem to be there: /opt/qt/lib/libqt-mt.prl /opt/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so /opt/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 /opt/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3 /opt/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 I sent this to the gambas list and got Benoi't reply below: > /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make[5]: *** [gb.qt.kde.html.la] Error 1 > make[5]: Leaving directory > `/home/richard/gambas3-svn/src/trunk/gb.qt.kde/src/html' > make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > make[4]: Leaving directory > `/home/richard/gambas3-svn/src/trunk/gb.qt.kde/src' make[3]: *** > [all-recursive] Error 1 > make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/richard/gambas3-svn/src/trunk/gb.qt.kde' > make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/richard/gambas3-svn/src/trunk/gb.qt.kde' > make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/richard/gambas3-svn/src/trunk' > make: *** [all] Error 2 > ==> ERROR: Build Failed. > Aborting... > > Any idea's > > Regards > > Richard > First, do a "./reconf && ./configure -C". Then check that the qt 3 library is installed on your system. As I didn't know how to apply his comment above to PKGBUILD"s as I don't understand them at all, I couldn't proceed.

[arch-general] Pacman 3.2.2 string freeze
by Dan McGee 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

String freeze for the pacman 3.2.2 release is now in effect. Our pacman translation policy is outlined here. The important sections for translators are the introduction and up to (and including) pre-release updates. http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/translation-help.html As stated in the above document, PO files have been made available to translate: http://code.toofishes.net/pacman/po_files/ I'm shooting for a release approximately 5 days from now, but that could change depending on how quick we get translations back and sneak some last-minute fixes in. Languages we currently have: cs:Vojtěch Gondžala <vojtech.gondzala(a)gmail.com> de: Matthias Gorissen <matthias(a)archlinux.de> en_GB: Jeff Bailes <thepizzaking(a)gmail.com> (Already complete) es: Juan Pablo Gonzalez <jotapesan(a)gmail.com> fr: Xavier Chantry <shiningxc(a)gmail.com> hu: Nagy Gabor <ngaba(a)bibl.u-szeged.hu> it: Giovanni Scafora <linuxmania(a)gmail.com> pl: Mateusz Herych <heniekk(a)gmail.com> pt_BR: Hugo Doria <hugo(a)archlinux.org> ru: Sergey Tereschenko <serg.partizan(a)gmail.com> tr: Samed Beyribey <beyribey(a)gmail.com> zh_CN: 甘露(Lu.Gan) <rhythm.gan(a)gmail.com> If you wish to help translate, but your language is already listed as handled by someone, please contact them at the above addresses. If the language is listed as "no current translator", then please reply to ALL on this message stating you are doing the translation so we do not have duplicated effort (although you are more than welcome to work in teams). Once you have updated or completed a translation, simply tar and gzip the files up and send them back to pacman-dev(a)archlinux.org with a [translation] prefix in the message. For those that are used to the old method of updating translations (GIT patches), those are still acceptable as well. Please prefix the patch with "translation:" so it can be picked out easily. Any questions should be answered if you reply to this email on the list. -Dan

[arch-general] Core and Extra repos
by Baho Utot 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Should a goal of ArchLinux be that the core and extra repos build without error. I am rebuilding all the packages from core and some selected packages from extra to take advantage of my processor an AMD Athlon processors, which I use exclusive. I have used makeworld from a make file and there are several PKGBUILDs that do not build or build incorrectly. Some of the packages fail because of gcc-4.3.2. I have since patched those. Step two is to run abs then rsync the abs updates into place and fire up my make file to build all the updates on my server box and place them into my custom repos, from cron on Sunday at the zero hour/minute. If some one would like to test/confirm this here is my Makefile: .PHONY: cleanstatus cleansrc cleanpkg cleanlog repos clean shutdown update REPNM := testing REPOS := /home/packages/$(REPNM) DBASE := $(REPNM).db.tar.gz PKGS := *.pkg.tar.gz all: repos cleanstatus cleansrc cleanpkg makeworld --clean --noconfirm --log --syncdeps --rmdeps $(REPOS) . grep fail build.log > failed.log || true cat failed.log || true grep error: makepkg.log || true date repos: repo-add $(REPOS)/$(DBASE) $(REPOS)/$(PKGS) sudo pacman -Syy clean: cleanstatus cleansrc cleanpkg cleanlog cleanstatus: rm build.log || true rm failed.log || true rm makepkg.log || true cleansrc: -find . -name src -type d -exec rm -rf '{}' \; cleanpkg: -find . -name pkg -type d -exec rm -rf '{}' \; cleanlog: -find . -name "*.log*" -exec rm '{}' \; makepkg: clean makepkg --clean --noconfirm --log --syncdeps --rmdeps shutdown: all sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now
