AUR wants sudo to build package,But DONT want sudo installed in ARCH!

Hi,
I am building many packages from AUR as root with (--asroot) option.the reason is,
some sources asks for sudo passwd!but I dont want to install sudo anyways!(remembers Ubuntu!).
see for eg:
[prakash@myhost midori]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: midori 0.0.17-1 (Wed Apr 30 08:44:27 IST 2008)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
Password:
Is there any solution?I have root passwd.so,Is there any configuration option by which this dialog asking for root passwd instead of sudo?
thank you!
waiting...:)

It's just another deviation from the much touted 'Arch way'. Just install sudo and forget about it and ask for some revision of the HowTos instead.

[SOLVED] Unable to build package Intel-OpenCL-SDK from the AUR

Good morning,
I am having some issues in regards to building a package from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-opencl-sdk/
If I understand correctly this is a 64 bit package, so I made sure that my processor has the LM flag. Also I have checked which kernel I am running:
>$ uname -m
x86_64
When I start building the package it comes up with an error saying:
==> ERROR: intel-opencl-sdk is not available for the 'i686' architecture.
Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
such as arch=('i686').
So I went in to the PKGBUILD and changed the line x86_64 to i686. This seemed to started the build, but it does stop working rather soon, giving me the following error:
==> Tidying install...
-> Purging unwanted files...
-> Compressing man and info pages...
-> Stripping unneeded symbols from binaries and libraries...
strip:./opt/intel/opencl-sdk/libOclCpuBackEnd.so: File format not recognized
/usr/bin/fakeroot: line 181: 846 User defined signal 1 FAKEROOTKEY=$FAKEROOTKEY LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PATHS" LD_PRELOAD="$LIB" "$@"
So I do not know where it is going wrong, although it also sounds that my install of Arch might be a bit dodgy as he does not want to build the package with the x86_64 setting ...
Could somebody shed some light on this matter?

So is it possible to update the dependencies to 64bit and then build this package?
When I change /etc/pacman.conf to take x86_64 architecture packages:
Architecture = x86_64
And I change the flags of /etc/makepkg.conf to x86_64:
CARCH="x86_64"
CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
CXXFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
Then when I do pacman -S llvm then it will say:
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package llvm-3.2-5-i686 does not have a valid architecture
However I did put everything to x86_64, so where does he get the i686 from?

I share my apple id but dont want to share contacts so what do i need to do?

Set up your own iCloud account with your own separate ID. The ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID used for other services such as the iTunes and App stores. You can still share an ID for iTunes purchases and have a separate ID for iCloud.

Someone used my email address to create an apple id. I changed the password because it is freaking me out. I want to report it to Apple but dont know how to go about it. I want the Apple ID deleted. How do I go about that?

Is there also a way to ensure that the email address wont be used again by this person to create another Apple ID?
This is compounded actually by a Gmail issue. I have had this email address for ages, since the start of the beta. But lately in the last year or so, I am getting mail that seems to be intended for other people but it is using my email address. It is probably one of them who created the Apple ID.

There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
2) Press Next
3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
5) Insert USB drive
6) Press CONTINUE
The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

I hear you. The reason I asked is that on the computer end of the cable, I took the ring off and it looks like there are some clasps around the housing, so I was wondering if these were for the purpose of threading the the cable. I will try and get some pictures. The drill is charging, however!!
Thanks

When you restore from a Time Machine back up you can pick and chose what is restored. It is not an all or nothing process. Nor do you have to do the partial restores all at the same time. If days after the first partial restore you find something else you want you can restore just that.

I was using iphone4 and iphone5 as well,i want to use two different apple id but dont want to loose the apps and data's .I still want to use same datas but with different id is it possible ..?

I want to create new apple id, but dont want to loose existing data's downloaded using existing id.I still want to use two apple id

No. All apps purchased are forever linked to the original ID and there is no way to transfer them.

I have a new computer and want to sync my phone to the new but dont want to lose the information. how do i transfer

i have a new computer and want to sync my phone to the new but dont want to lose the information. how do i transfer. i was told there was a way but not sure how

for the purchased items from the iTunes Store, you could use transfer of purchases
for the photos, other music/movie not from itunes, you'll be needing a third party application
for contacts, calendars , photos from camera roll : you could just directly transfer it from your phone to the computer.

HT1414 i am in the recovery mode but dont want to restore iPod, having a lot of films inside still want them.

Unless this program will get the iPod out of recovery mode. you are out of luck:
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
You iPod encountered an error and a restore, which includes erasing the iPod, is required.. Restore from the most recent backup you have.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
