[arch-ports] Arch64 package release variable
by Dusty Phillips 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

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

[arch-ports] getting 32bit pkgbuilds
by seshu yamajala 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

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! - syamajala

[arch-ports] [ppc] New Developer & More News
by Alexander Baldeck 12 Oct '05

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! /-kth5

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... - Seshu Yamajala (syamajala)
