[arch-ports] away for some weeks
by Andreas Radke 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

within the next few weeks i'm moving to my new (own) house. there's still much to do (preparing, painting...). i think i'll be back online early Oktober. it's still not sure that i will get a broadband line again. but i'm full of hope even when it will be much slower. as we don't have anybody else with access to the x86_64 current repo this means no updates for a while! when i'm back we should see if we can hire a few guys more for the port. andyrtr

You can find it here : ftp://ftp.archlinuxppc.org/iso/snapshots/archppc-base-20060828.iso I test it on my powerbook g4 and mac mini and it seems to work. Please tell me if you find bugs :) Benoit

[arch-ports] [x86_64] : OpenOffice.org and java
by DOUALOT Nicolas 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi. I'm trying to get the arch64 OpenOffice.org work with my jvm, but seems like it's not possible. I have sourced /etc/profile, then start OpenOffice in the same shell, but OpenOffice still doesn't find the jvm. Anyone has the same problem ? -- slubman (aka Nicolas DOUALOT) mail: slubman(a)slubman.net jabber ID: slubman(a)kdetalk.net site: http://www.slubman.net

[arch-ports] [Arch64] Corrupted package : kde-i18n-fr 3.5.4-1
by Strat La Patate 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Since a couple of weeks, it seems that kde-i18n-fr is corrupted. I've tried main archlinux mirror and had the same error. Is this list the right place for this kind of error reporting? I went on arch flyspray but it is not clear if the bugtracker is for i686 only or for x86_64 also. Anyway, pacman output (after rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kde-i18n-fr-3.5.4-1.pkg.tar.gz and differents mirrors try ): error: archive kde-i18n-fr-3.5.4-1.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted -- Strat

[arch-ports] [x86_64] new ISOs for testing out
by Andreas Radke 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

I made a new set of ISOs for the Arch64 port. I used tpowa's mkbootcd/archboot - these're great tools. CDs were made with all current packages up to date until yesterday. This time we have a full current cd(still uploading), a base cd and a ftp-only cd. So please test them and report bugs you will surely find. Network detection worked for me, trying a ftp install worked also well using ftp.archlinux.org. We use the same installer as arch32. So look for bugs in the installer and in our current packages as well. The CDs include the new glibc, openssl, db and gnutils updates. So it's not recommended to use the arch64.org repos anymore when you use the new cds. I'll try to fix and update all extra packages as soon as possible to get missing dependencies resolved. Until that you may decide to wait or try old arch64.org extra repo for missing packages. Good luck and praying for no showstopper bugs! And here they are: http://www.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/ AndyRTR

[arch-ports] [x86_64] extra ready for use on archlinux.org
by Andreas Radke 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

I finished bringing all packages from arch64.org into the new extra repo db on archlinux.org. If you still find a package laying on the ftp and it's not in the repo db let me know. Now I'm going to keep the repos up to date and fix bugs you report. A new ISO is in work. Community repo and AUR are up to you all out there. From now on forget Arch64.org - it may rest in peace.

[arch-ports] [x86_64] wanted: PCs for our pacbuild build farm
by Andreas Radke 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Now that the x86_64 port is official we want to make it as good as ArchLinux (i686). You may have noticed that I'm doing most time a one-man-job. And that's now too much work for one person to keep all packages up to date in an acceptable time. Great news: i686 devs and also TUs want to help us. They offer their time to build the packages they maintain for a second time. What we need: a build farm running several machines Arch64. We will use pacbuild. The great distributed package building tool from Xentac. Read here more about it: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacbuild and http://xentac.net/~jchu/blog/static/pacbuild i686 package maintainers and TrustedUsers will get accounts to sent pkgbuilds to the farm. The main server will send it further to a pc running the local build daemon. The more pcs we have running Arch64 with pacbuild daemon the lower the load will be. Who can offer his pc for running the pacbuild daemon? What you need: just a clean(!) Arch64 installation for correct linking. So there should be only official packages from current/extra and later community on it. A separate system would be nice but is not a must. Don't be afraid. There's no need to have a ssh deamon running. The system should be online most time. 24/7 up would be great. I will also offer one or two systems. We will test the configuration. It would be great to have more systems later running the build daemon so the nice load would get much lower. So who will join the packaging party? AndyRTR
