Things seem to be going well. I have started recompiling a lot of the  
packages and have also started working on gnome 2.12. the install  
base has grown to the whopping number of 4 (that i know about)!  
Vitorlima has compiled many packages and has started uploading some  
of them. More later...

Hey Seshu,

Since I pacman -Syu'd last night, the nvidia driver isn't working for
me. I don't have the error handy, but it was something about the GL
symlinks in /usr/lib already existing or something. I tried unlinking
them, but got the same error.... is this an 'expected' error or is it
something unusual to my setup?

Also, xorg seems to work (under twm), but pekwm isn't loading. I'll
try recompiling it when I get a moment.

I've recompiled a couple libs and got gaim to compile. I haven't
tested it because of the nvidia/xorg issues + not having time, but
would you like me to put these packages somewhere? What does it take
to do this -- svn the PKGBUILD and binary somewhere and you take care
of generating the db?
Dusty

Well, that wasn't supposed to happen. I plan on rebuilding xorg and  
the nvidia driver soon anyway. I am pretty sure that the nvidia  
driver package isn't fully working because when i first built it i  
had trouble compiling cairo and had to copy some files from the pkg  
dir to /lib,

i think pekwm might need to be recompiled i'll look into it.

Message-ID: <434CD55B.3000603@disipos.de>

Hey List,

still didn't make it to announce a few things on the Archlinux PPC Port 
since a long struggle with bash/autotools in
flac and many other things all around Archlinux/PPC as well as real 
live.  Now I have some time and here goes:

1) New Developer

I'd like to welcome Mauricio Bahamonde (aka elkrammer) as - probably the 
first - developer other than me! *applause*
He's going to manage extra and already started to show progress, can't 
wait to see the first bigger DE make it into
Archlinux/PPC other than KDE. Which takes me to the next...


2) KDE 3.5-beta1 for PPC

elkrammer was so kind to provide a custom compiled repository with 
packages for KDE 3.5-beta1. From what I can tell
it works at least as stable as the 3.4 series. It is available from here:

[kde3.5-beta1]
Server = http://archppc.kleiner-weise.de/archlinux/kde3.5-beta1/os/ppc/


3) New Website

A simple website for Archlinux/PPC has been released by elkrammer as 
well. *applause*

http://archppc.kleiner-weise.de/

Suggestions can be sent either to him or me as we both will take of 
things. If you read the workguidelines-section feel free to make 
comments, suggestions or critize it. :-)


4) libtoolslay and GCC4 migration mostly done

I have almost completed the work on a GCC4 powered current/ in testing/. 
Only a few packages are missing and I intend to move it to current along 
with the release of the installer. I have a alpha which needs heavy 
testing at home
so expect soemthing soon.


That's all for today, hope to see some more people on the channel rather 
sooner than later. ;)

Cheers!

Hey,

Two things, first Seshu, I can't seem to authenticate to SVN -- I can
log in with ssh (public key still not working, but that's not
important), but svn rejects the same password as I use for ssh.

Second, how do we address the pkgrel variables in arch64 packages? Do
they borrow from the 32 bit rel, or should we start over from 1? For
example, if I add a package that I copied the PKGBUILD from 32 bit
current, and it is at pkgrel 5, do I put it in at pkgrel 5, or pkgrel
1? I'm gessing 1.

Oh, a third thing, now that I'm here.... putting compiled binaries in
the httpd directory, are we supposed to remove previous versions of
the binary, or does that get done automatically with some script?

thank ye,
Dusty

i've just been leaving the numbers as they are. sometimes if there is  
a new version of some program or something available and the old one  
isn't compiling i'll give the new version a try, but other than that  
i just stick to the same numbers

you have to delete the old version. xentac also gave me a few things  
to make regenerating the dbs easier. a patched gensync so you don't  
need the pkgbuilds and just the packages. also i got a script for  
syncing with svn, its supposed to be like abs it uses wget to sync  
get the latest pkgbuilds from the svn repo. i'll build a new pacman  
package with the changes soon...

also forgot to mention i recompiled pekwm today and it worked fine  
for me. still haven't recompiled xorg or the nvidia driver, i've been  
trying to get orbit2 to work.

Message-ID: <92E9F7C6-A378-42AE-A041-01C126769425@gamebox.net>

I had an idea for making it easier for people to get 32bit pkgbuilds.  
Right now the way i recommend is setting up a 32bit chroot or use an  
existing 32bit system and nfs. So, what i thought is why not have my  
server sync nightly and put all the 32bit pkgbuilds in svn on my  
server so people can just get them with subversion. The only reason i  
actually have a 32bit chroot on my server is for cvsup. My desktop is  
a different story. Anyone else have any other ideas? Also, I opened a  
community tree in svn because mr. green compiled pypanel and c14n  
wants to create e17 packages. c14n will also start helping out soon.  
The dev count will be 5!

c14n has kindly offered to host genesis.blogdns.net. He has tons of  
bandwidth and a shiny new 64bit system. All the usernames and  
passwords will be the same for subversion and sftp. The home dir.  
will change but i'll post more info when stuff is finalized.

the server migration is complete. I will be bringing down my server  
temporarily. When i bring it back up i will mirror the packages at  
arch64.org.

here is a list of the new links:

homepage: http://www.arch64.org
viewcvs: http://www.arch64.org/viewcvs/
subversion: https://svn.arch64.org/svn/Arch64

also if you were using sftp to upload packages before you must now  
use arch64.org, just place
packages in ~/current or ~/extra like before. I'd like to thank c14n  
for doing this.
