How does he know ? (pacman and package names)

i take a package from pacman cache on box 1
i rename it from say xorg-1.4.0.pkg.tar.gz to xorg14-1.4.0.pkg.tar.gz
i pacman -U it on box 2
pacman on box 2 : upgrading xorg ###############33
how does he know its xorg and not xorg14 ? (there seem to be only the actual files of the application inside)
how do i rename the package so that pacman really understands its xorg14 and not xorg ?

several reasons
i hate ignorepkgs (and the trouble they can make if some dependency escapes out of what you ignorepkg'd)
i have multiple (varying between 5 - 9) boxes that run arch + 3 family / friends boxes with arch that i am the support guy for. when a bad or unexpected update was out (dhcpcd kde4 xorg lib/include/asm etc) it was bad for most or all of the boxes - so i want a solution for all at once
i install from scratch a lot (i naturally have skill of breaking my system to irrecoverable state and with the recent updates of arch its even more cause i swap hard drives). i prefer to have a custom mirror on my usb flash drive
i want to be able to give this mirror easily to others too - like that guy that made the kde 3 mirror

  • How does CM know that a PACKAGE is installed

    I am a bit unclear on how SCCM knows that a PACKAGE is installed.  When a package successfully installs, does the CM client stamp the registry?    What if a package fails to install because of a bad command line, does the client cue the
    package to try again later? What if I uninstall the package and I want to install it again (required deployment)?
    for applications the above all makes sense, just not for packages.
         

    You need to deploy or re-deploy the program. (package aren't deploy but programs are)
    Yes, you will need to deploy or re-deploy the program.
    No, if you change the version it will NOT update the program on existing clients but new client will get it.

  • Hi, I have purchased an audio book on iTunes from an iMac and it does not show up on the cloud so I can't download it on my iPhone. Does anyone know why and how I can proceed to transfer the audio book purchase?

    Hi
    I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
    Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
    Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
    Thank you,

    Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?

    Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.

  • SONGS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED APPEAR TWICE ON MY PHONE. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY AND HOW TO EDIT THIS PROBLEM?

    Songs that I have purchased on Itunes appear twicw on my Iphone. Does anybody know why and how do I edit or remove one copy of the song?

    I have had two similar events with my Gen4 iTouch. An album was purchased thru iTunes with my iTouch. When I sync'd it with my MAC Mini (OSX Lion) each song that was included in the purchased album appeared twice on the iTouch but only once on the MacMini. Deleting the duplicates on the iTouch did not resolve the issue. With each sync they were reinstalled. The only way I could get around this was to delete the album/songs on the MAC, elect to move them to trash then re-sync the iTouch to remove them. Afterwards I was able to re-download the purchase on the MAC then sync the iTouch. This resolved the issue.
    The second event was different but the result was the same: An album was purchased thru iTunes but this time thru iTunes Store on the MAC mini. When I sync'd the iTouch there were 2 entries for each song purchased but this time there was an entry for the song itself AND an identical entry beneath it that looked similar to the play/pause sampling icon in iTunes when sampling a song prior to purchase. I am not using iCloud and I don not sync wirelessly on the iTouch. Again, all I could do was delete the purchase on the MAC Mini, sync the iTouch to remove them, re-load the purchase from iTunes and re-sync. This also resolved the issue but it makes me a bit nervous since I have a very large library. What is causing this?

  • How does oracle know the databse is inconsistent and needs recovery?

    Hello,
    How does Oracle know that the datafiles are inconsistent and db needs recovery when rebuilding the db off of the online/hot backups? Whereas, it doesn’t ask for recovery when rebuilding the database from cold backup (I understand that, for cold backup, database is shutdown immediate and hence the db is consistent). In both scenarios, a new control file is created (that means it won’t have SCN) and only datafile header will have the SCN. What’s that piece of info that oracle check to know if the database is consistent or inconsistent during the backup restore and recovery and where that info resides?
    Thank you for any hints and answers.
    Jay

    Oracle uses the datafiles to identify if they are consistent. If the datafiles backup was taken when the database was OPEN, they are marked as "fuzzy" in the header. Also, likely, the Checkpoint SCNs may be different if tablespace checkpoints (e.g. by ALTER TABLESPACE BEGIN BACKUP) are at different points in time.
    If the backup was a cold backup with the database shutdown normal/immediate, the headers are marked appropriately.
    When you run CREATE CONTROLFILE, it has to read the datafiles because the controlfile, itself, has no SCN and LogSequenceNumbers information.

    On my IPad 2 home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new messages with a number in a red circle, next to the app.  This has vanished, I think about the same time as when I upgraded to the new OS.  Does anyone know why and how to restore this feature? 

    Thanks.  While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured

  • ColdFusion 11: cfclient ... how does normal CFML code and cfclient code interact?

    G'day:
    I am reposting this from my blog ("ColdFusion 11: ... how does normal CFML code and  code interact?") at the suggestion of Adobe support:
    @dacCfml @ColdFusion Can you post your queries at http://t.co/8UF4uCajTC for all cfclient and mobile queries.— Anit Kumar Panda (@anitkumar85) April 29, 2014
    I have edited this in places to remove language that will be deemed inappropriate by the censors here. Changes I have made are in [square brackets]. The forums software here has broken some of the styling, but so be it.
    G'day:
    Another quick one. I'm raising these quick-fire questions here because Adobe have declined to suggest a better place to raise them, other than as comments on one of their blog entries. Well that was Ram's suggestion (which I don't think is terribly-well thought out). He declined to react to my suggestion that the Adobe ColdFusion forums might be a good place. Anit suggested Twitter or just emailing him, but I think there'd be public interest in this stuff, so don't want to resort to email.
    As I'm the master of what goes on on this blog: I'll clutter this thing up.
    Say I want to have a mix of "normal" CFML and <cfclient>-based CFML in the same file. I can only presume the intent is to allow this, otherwise having <cfclient> as a tag rather than just a file extension seems like a poor approach. Obviously if one can have a start tag and an end tag, then code can come before (and I guess after) the <cfclient> tags themselves.
    So I'd expect this to work:
    <cfset message = "G'day World"> <cfclient> <cfoutput>#message#</cfoutput> </cfclient>
    However all I get is an error in JS:
    Uncaught ReferenceError: message is not defined variablesScopeVariable.cfm:4
    And, indeed, the only mention of message in the JS source is the one that's erroring (as it's on the right-hand side of an assignment).
    So I thought perhaps <cfclient> worked like <cfthread> and I needed to pass attributes into it:
    <cfset message = "G'day World"> <cfclient message="#message#"> <cfoutput>#message#</cfoutput> </cfclient>
    This doesn't compile:
    Attribute validation error for the client tag.
    The tag does not have an attribute called message. The valid attribute(s) are ''.
    ColdFusion cannot determine the line of the template that caused this error.This is often caused by an error in the exception handling subsystem.
    Note also there's an error in the error message itself. It's not the <client> tag, it's the <cfclient> tag.
    Rightio then, so I tried just using the request scope instead (the code's the same as the variables-scoped example, except using the request scope). No dice: same JS error.
    As a last ditch effort, I just tried to see if <cfclient> was aware of anything going on around it, by passing a value on the URL, and seeing if <cfclient> saw that, eg:
    <cfclient> <cfoutput>#URL.message#</cfoutput> </cfclient>
    This behaved differently from the variables- / request- scoped examples, in that I didn't get a JS error, I just got this on the screen:
    undefined
    And no JS error. It pains me to have to do this, but let's look at the generated JS to see why the behaviour is different:
    Variables scope example:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/cfclient/cfclient_main.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/cfclient/cffunctions.js"></script> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> <script type='text/javascript'> globalDivStruct=null; var _$variablesScopeVariable_func=function(){     var self=this;     var variables={};     self.__init=function(){         var localdivstruct=globalDivStruct;         var __output_var="";         var tmpVarArray={};         localdivstruct.outputvar+=message;        return""     } }; function __startPage__$variablesScopeVariable(){     document.write("\x3cdiv id\x3d'__cfclient_0'\x3e\x3c/div\x3e");     window.ispgbuild=false;     var clientDivStruct={         divId        : "__cfclient_0",         outputvar    :""     };     globalDivStruct=clientDivStruct;     try{         _$variablesScopeVariable=new _$variablesScopeVariable_func;         _$variablesScopeVariable.__init()     }     catch(__eArg){         if(__eArg!=="$$$cfclient_abort$$$")             throw __eArg;     }     __$cf.__flush(clientDivStruct) } __startPage__$variablesScopeVariable(); </script>
    The only significant difference (other than function names, based on the file names) between this and the URL-scoped example is the indicated line above is replaced by this in the URL example:
    localdivstruct.outputvar+=__$cf.__arrayGet(URL,"message",true);
    So it's like it's trying to do the right thing, but just failing. I thought it might be because CF does stupid thinks with scope-key casing, and changed the <cfclient> code to expect URL.MESSAGE not URL.message, but this didn't work either.
    So I'm flummoxed. I can't find anything in any documentation which might point me in the right direction, so anyone know what the story is here?
    Update:At Joel's suggestion I tried this:
    <script> message = "G'day World"; </script> <cfclient> <cfoutput>#message#</cfoutput> </cfclient>
    Thisworked. Which elicits from me a mixture of "heh: cute" and "this is an abomination".

    Hi Adam,
    When you write code inside <cfclient>, it is translated to java script. It cannot access server side variables(defined outside cfclient).
    <script> message = "G'day World"; </script> <cfclient> <cfoutput>#message#</cfoutput> </cfclient>
    The above code works because, message is defined in a script block and client side CFML is interoprable with javascript. So client side CFML can use variables, functions defined in javascript blocks.
    Thanks,
    Paul
    So you're saying you did not provide a mechanism for transferring the variables from the server-side part of a file's code to the client side part? Is this not a bit of an oversight?
    And what - in your mind - is the point of having a file with blocks of both normal CFML, and then a <cfclient> block, then more CFML, then another <cfclient> block (for example) if the code cannot interact?

  • How does j_security_check know which page to redirect to?

    Hi All,
    I have implemented j_security_check in our weblogic web app successfully.
    What I would like to know is following the authentication and authorization via the container, how does it know to redirect the user to index.jsp?
    For example, we have login.jsp which contains the j_username and j_password fields, and the action is j_security_check. After the user hits submit and the container authenticates them, how does it know to then direct them to index.jsp? Is it because the welcome tag in web.xml is set up to direct them to index.jsp?
    <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
    Thats the only thing i can think of!
    Thanks in advance.

    That's correct.
    You are specifying a login page, which will ONLY be accessed when the user attempts to view a secured resource.
    After logging in, they will see the page they were originally trying to get to.
    They will only be forced to go to the login page if you secure the page they are trying to get to:
    <security-constraint>
         <web-resource-collection>
              <web-resource-name>Resources</web-resource-name>

  • HT1338 How does one uninstall Garageband and other things?

    How does one uninstall Garageband and other things on the Macbook air?

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • How does siri know my address?

    I have never set up my home address on my phone and it linked to a contact with my name but no address. How does it know my home address?

    Hi
    Thanks for these, but once I deleted this contact that only was named 'Emma Darvill' with a light grey 'me' at the side it no longer knows my home. The only details under this was my email address - so I don't know how it knows where my home is.
