Arch Linux Packages RSS Feed [solved]

Hello all.
Excuse me, but I have no idea in which forum I have to post this.
Since yesterday, the Arch Linux Packages RSS Feed is giving me this error:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.archlinux.org/rdf_feed.php
Line Number 75, Column 42: <description>TCP wrappers (hosts.deny & hosts.allow) access control for Apache</description>
-----------------------------------------^
How can I notify that to the webmaster?
Thanks in advance.

The RSS Feed is working properly again.
Thanks! :-)

Slackware TGZ to Arch Linux Package Converter

I have two programs that interest me (LilyPond and Battle for Wesnoth) that don't have Arch Linux packages and compiling them would involve hunting everywhere for obscure dependencies (LilyPond in particular) so I just downloaded the Slackware packages, inspected them and found that by unzipping them onto the root folder (as superuser) and running the install script (if there is one) I can get them to run with minimal fuss.
Has the idea of making a Slackware to Arch package converter been brought up before? Is there any problems with this? (Slackware is i386-optimised if I remember correctly, but I think it's still worth it since there is more Slackware packages than Arch Linux ones out there.)

i3839 wrote:Flames?? Where? You sure you didn't misread something?
Probably.
Here's what I read, admitting that it doesn't seem quite as bad the second time around...:
Oh? All I was hearing is that Arch already has enough packages, and that the devs are overloaded and almost down.
"you don't know which way is up, you contradict yourself while continuing to ignore the problems and aren't fixing anything".
Also getting custom packages into Arch's official repository seems a bit hard currently, not to mention that it's totally unclear how to do that (drop it in incomming and wait a year? Lotto?).
"The system isn't working and you haven't done anything to try to fix it. I haven't read or noticed any of the threads illustrating that this topic has been argued to death and isn't going unnoticed"
Maintaining packages is the most work, and every distro maintains the same packages over and over again. Tell me why to not use good, working packages from another sane distro?
"The other distros are better."
(Personally, I don't care if anybody likes another distro better, but if so, use it instead, don't talk about it)
Changing GCC often gives the same problem as updating to new major libraries. Simply leave the old GCC libs or make a seperate package for them. Currently it's rather impossible in Arch to install new packages with an outdated system, if that's solved then it's also easy to use Slackware packages.
"The Arch philosophy of keeping packages stable but up to date is just plain wrong. I don't bother to pacman -Syu before I mention problems."
Of course if would be best if there was a nice, good binary package standard that works on all distros, so that the application makers can make and maintain the packages themselves, but that's utopia (paths are too often hardcoded for instance).
"hey, I do have some good ideas".
It isn't a matter of being able to do something or not, it's a matter of convenience. All programs should be relative easy to compile from source, but that doesn't mean that everyone should compile all programs themselves.
"There aren't enough Arch binaries to go around"
OR:
"ABS sucks"
OR:
"Hold my hand, I can't compile."
OR:
"I use Arch cause I don't like Gentoo". :-D
Yeah, some of that is a little (or quite, or even very) harsh, you can blame it on me rather than taking it to heart.
As for the slackware packages issue, I'm personally not writing a script to convert them; I've never used slackware in my life. The idea has merit, but I get tired of people discussing pros and cons and not doing anything. I think that's because I'm about as bad as anyone on that front, possibly worse.

Debtap - A script to convert .deb packages to Arch Linux packages

I wrote this script in my free time to help people who, for any reason, want to convert a .deb to an Arch Linux package. It works in a similar way with alien (which converts .deb packages to .rpm packages and vice versa), but, unlike alien, it is focused on accuracy of conversion, trying to translate Debian/Ubuntu packages names to the correct Arch Linux packages names and store them in the dependencies fields of the .PKGINFO metadata in the final package. In other words, it won't only create an Arch package with the data of the original .deb package, but also it will try to create a valid and as accurate as possible .PKGINFO metadata file in the converted package. It uses pkgfile and pacman utilities to achieve this accuracy. The final package can be installed like any local Arch Linux package. Debtap is now available on AUR!
FAQ
Q: What "debtap" stands for?
A: DEB To Arch (Linux) Package
Q: Isn't better to download an official package or write a PKGBUILD in case I need to compile a package or convert a .deb package to an Arch Linux package?
A: Sure it is, and I truely encourage you to do so. Debtap was written to create packages that either cannot be compiled (closed source packages) or cannot be built from AUR for various reasons (error during compiling or unavailable files), as a quick 'n' dirty solution and an extra option for creating Arch Linux packages for Arch Linux users.
Q: So debtap will help me only in case I need to convert specific .deb packages to Arch Linux packages?
A: No. In case you need to write a new PKGBUILD for a package that already exists in the Debian/Ubuntu distributions, by converting its .deb package to Arch package with debtap, thanks to the packages names translator function inside the script, it can help you determine which dependencies are needed for the package you write the PKGBUILD for and complete the necessary fields.
Q: What are the minimum requirements to run this script?
A: You need to have installed these dependencies: bash, binutils (provides ar utility for extracting .deb package), pkgfile, and fakeroot. You must run at least once (preferably recently) "debtap -u" to create/update pkgfile and debtap database (you do this with root privileges).
Q: Debtap needs a lot of time to convert a package. So, why this is happening?
A: Like I said, debtap is focused on accuracy. It won't just unpack a .deb package and then repackage its data to an Arch Linux package, ignoring metadata. Depending on the speed of your processor and the package itself, conversion can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Q: During conversion I get several warning messages, why?
A: Debtap cannot be 100% accurate for several reasons, the main reason for this is the complexity of packages names. If you want to check the freshly generated .PKGINFO and .INSTALL (this is optional file) metadata files or even fix the untranslated packages names inside .PKGINFO, debtap offers you the option to edit these files before compressing the final package.
Q: How do I use debtap?
A: The syntax is quite simple actually: debtap [option] package_filename
For example: debtap world-of-goo-demo_1.0_i386.deb
Any recommendations or questions for debtap are welcomed!

Installing Windows XP after Arch Linux already been installed [SOLVED]

Here is my dilema:
I have a Fujitsu Lifebook T4010 Laptop with a Wacom Tablet built into the screen. About a month ago I installed Arch Linux on it. It took me a while to get everything working (tablet screen/function buttons/on rotate flip reso) but eventually I got it all working.
The thing is I feel like I'm not fully taking advantage of its tablet abilities. I want to be able to use it with Photoshop and Flash. I decided I should dual boot it with Windows XP / Arch.
So I cut down on my /home partition and freed up ~25 gigs of the total 80 gigs for Windows. When I went to install it told me the maximum number of partitions had been met. I looked it up online and apparently you can only have 4 primary partitions and with the 4 that Arch currently occupies (boot/swap/root/home) it looks like I'm out of luck.
I'm thinking my only option is to combine my home partition with my root partition to free up a primary partition. People tell me it's easier when you have Windows installed first but to be honest it took me quite some time to get this laptop/tablet up and running and all of it's features working for me how I wanted and I don't want to have to go through it again.
If anyone has any advice, work arounds, or could tell me how I would go about safely combining my home and root partition it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton,

After a second thought, you'd have to move the home partition as well, as the extended partition counts too. I'd start with an arch live cd, cfdisk, delete swap, make extended, 2 logical drives, format the partition, backup, move home's content. then delete home, create new primary, install windows, write grub again, put the new partitions into fstab and tell grub where to find windows.
EDIT: After a third thought, combining home and root might be easier: Just copy home's content to your root partition (if ther is enough room ...), unmount home, copy the stuff to /home and delete the home partition from fstab. Then delete the old home partition.
Copying the home's contents to the root partition was what I had in mind. I'm trying to figure out how I would go about doing that though. If I copy the /home to the root partition from the old home partition - will it automatically pick it up if I delete the fstab entry. Also will it be possible to expand my /root partition after that to take up the space the home partion use to own?

Install Arch Linux lenovo e330 only [SOLVED]

Hello,
I am starting a second install of Arch Linux on a Lenovo Laptop E330 13.3" Windows 8 I3-3110 NZSE9IV *(spec 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i3-3110M CPU, Intel HD graphic 4000, 500GB 7200RPM 4GB upgraded to 8GB DDR3 EEE)
I disabled in the BIOS the secure boot.
I m now partitionning the harddrive with cgdisk. I want to partition only with Linux Arch. My goad is to have three partitions / for root /home and /boot. I want to parition the /root and /home in ext4 and /boot in ext2. So I delelted all the partitions that were before including the EFi partition and started to parition the new ones. I chosed Write in the Ncurse interface of cgdisk and I got the following error : Problem Saving data ! Your parition may be damaged ! "I quited rebooted again using the USB hardrive with Arch Linux on it, and went back to cgdisk. I can see the paritition I made on /dev/sda but when I want to write the same parition scheme i get the same error.
I m wondering if it s something that I should pay attention to or not, before I continue to install Arch.
Thanks for your help

How do i create a new partition table ? With cgdisk as well ?
EDIT : I am having a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/partitioning I had to use gdisk first ot overwrite existing parition scheme and then went back to cgdisk and now no more error thank you for the hint.

Arch Linux package format

Hi Guys,
I have been playing around with pacman in the freebsd operating system. My goal is just to install a package into the freebsd system with pacman (no dependencies for now). The idea is to compile the software with the freebsd ports system, make a freebsd package and convert that to a pacman package to install it. I could not find information of the package format of pacman. However, both packages format look very similar, so I think the conversion should be straight forward.
Do you know of any documentation of the pacman package format? Are there any tools that can help me with this?
Thanks in advance,
Luis.

I agree. Additionally many ports stop and want you fill out options which would further complicate.
I'm intrigued by the idea of having a pacman based BSD system, though in the long run it would warrant it's own BSD distro (ArchBSD if you will), and would not be that useful on top of Free/Net/Open BSD.
I would envision ArchBSD based on an ArchBSD ABS tree, and not on ports. (Although ports would be a primary reference for how to build packages).
The options for ports brings the same problems that Gentoo useflags have into the mix. How does one deal will variations of a package, and are those variations part of the dependency information? Just food for thought...

Wocka 0.5 - checkinstall for Arch Linux

Last updated: 17th-Feb-2007
With Wocka you can do:
./configure
make
su
wocka
and you'll get the application installed, and a pacman db entry too.
Wocka automatically figures out the package name, version and/or subversion revision, and if it can, other metadata too. It determines the build system (make, unsermake, scons, cmake, etc.). It can also create a basic PKGBUILD, with some of the fields (eg name, version) magically filled in. It can also handle upgrades and check AUR for PKGBUILDs.
Visit the site for a Arch linux package, the source tarball, and detailed usage examples. There's also a feed you can subscribe to at the site if you want to be notified of updates.
http://methylblue.com/wocka/
Comments, contributions, etc. most welcome! Thanks.
===========
I have discovered other programs that do a similar thing for Arch. They may be better and you may want to consider them, or at least demand I implement things they do into Wocka If you do use one of the others, I'd like to hear why, if you have the time, thanks!

You should have talked to Xentac. He already has an app named "Wakka" IIRC.

Yeah I half did this and then couldn't figure out how to work the AUR or something. I'll try again.
I had 0.3 ready a few weeks ago, then I started using my CRT with my new XBOX 360 and didn't boot to Linux until yesterday Now I have some new TFTs.
The changes since 0.2:
· Automatic upgrade/merge for new installs of subversion managed source installations
· Better versioning detection
· Easy automatic AUR builds via: wocka --aur appname
· Metadata is extracted from LSM files
· --upgrade switch
The upgrade switch basically merges the old package with what's just installed, so you don't lose any information, I figured this was the safest route. Please correct me if you disagree. Thanks

[SOLVED]How to build debian package source in Arch Linux?

I'm porting openssl for sh4 arch.
If I use Arch Linux PKGBUILD, it built failed. (I guess that's caused by there is no asm code for sh4 cpu).
So, I decide use debian's source.
But, is there any one know how to porting debian's package into Arch Linux?
I can apt-get source openssl from other machine. But I don't know what's the correct step to build it into Arch Linux' structure.
Solution: refer brebs's PKGBUILD hint.
Last edited by dlin (2013-02-26 09:44:16)

The source is not hard to find. Look on Debian packages - each package has 2 files, the ".orig", and Debian's diff (which is sometimes not a diff, these days, thankfully because just having a simple "debian/patches" subdirectory available is a little bit easier for us).
Edit: Here ya go, convenient links:

[SOLVED] Ndiswrapper, NetworkManager 0.7 and 64-bit Arch Linux

Hi there!
I am having problems configuring my wireless card. I know I have to use Ndiswrapper, and this is what I have tried to do; however, it didn't go quite well.
