Is it dynamically generated by analyzing the db.tar.gz on the mentioned ftp archives? If so, it's pretty nifty and fast. :) One thing I'd like to point out though: There's quite a few packages that the ppc port lacks in extra especially. We are aware of this and would like to change it but right now have no definite plans of when to achieve this. We're simply not enough developers to reliably maintain such an amount of packages. So we stick with what we have an maintain it well for now. The upside of this is that most of the basic packages are there, so pulling a PKGBUILD from x86 to build it on ppc shouldn't never be a big hassle.

At this point I am toying with temporarily setting Bob up elsewhere but that location remains to be determined. Sorry for all this trouble, it would just seem that our "upgrade" to Leopard (which seems more like a downgrade) has pretty much put Bob at full stop. -Zac From klette at samfundet.no Tue May 6 06:35:51 2008 From: klette at samfundet.no (Kristian Klette) Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 12:35:51 +0200 Subject: [arch-ports] Bob Update In-Reply-To: <481EF68E.4020208@zacbrown.org> References: <976395530804280447k769677e2o756a9406d61639a0@mail.gmail.com> <481EF335.6050000@archlinuxppc.org> <481EF68E.4020208@zacbrown.org> Message-ID: <20080506103551.GL22053@samfundet.no> I've been out of the arch-ports-world for a while, so what is BOB's responsibilities?

Since then I've had a helluva time getting NAT + port forwarding working so Bob's connection future remains a mystery til I figure out whats going on. A build machine like that would be helpful :). See what Armin and Alex say, I think we'd all be happy. I haven't been able to build at all since Bob went down. Mainly because I have no where to set him up to work by myself. -Zac Kristian Klette wrote: > I've been out of the arch-ports-world for a while, so what is BOB's > responsibilities?

Things like GCC and usual dillema are already pretty much figured out. I just do it in a tripple cluster of my Ps3, the mini sitting on my desk sponsored by Armin and my - bah, hate it - x86 laptop. What really would be nice to have is a ppc with this amount of ram. Also being on a 100mbit upstream is sure not bad. @Kristian: If you're serious about this, please don't hesitate to drop me a line and we'll help setting it up. We don't have a build bot so far but I'm currently not far away of automating a CI which although would pretty much break everybody's workflow. ;) Would be nice to give it a shot for OpenOffice and Icedtea especially. Other than that automated rebuilds could be well done on that machine. :) Cheers, Alex From anders1 at gmail.com Tue May 13 20:58:28 2008 From: anders1 at gmail.com (Anders Bergh) Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 02:58:28 +0200 Subject: [arch-ports] ppc/i686 repo comparison CGI script In-Reply-To: <481EF335.6050000@archlinuxppc.org> References: <976395530804280447k769677e2o756a9406d61639a0@mail.gmail.com> <481EF335.6050000@archlinuxppc.org> Message-ID: <976395530805131758l6d95785ck338028358fe8a2a5@mail.gmail.com> On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 1:44 PM, Alexander Baldeck wrote: > That's pretty cool and helps a lot.

If so, it's > pretty nifty and fast. :) It downloads the core and extra db.tar.gz's from archlinuxppc.org and ftp.gigabit.nu for i686 and ppc. I think the original script I linked to here actually read all of those files on every page hit, but I've updated it on my laptop so it reads from a ~1.4 MB Lua array instead (which it does very quickly, amazingly enough). I'm trying to think of ways to improve this to become a bit more useful, like adding dynamic filters ("exclude missing packages from extra") and such. If anyone here would like some kind of feature related to scanning the DB's, I'm all ears :) > One thing I'd like to point out though: > There's quite a few packages that the ppc port lacks in extra > especially.

I wrote a quick script to add it to all of these packages, but it'd be quite a big change so I'm asking here before actually committing anything. I attached the patch. It's only for extra, I haven't checked core yet. Also, is there any way to generate better patches using cvs?
