How to get patches to official/mainline arch linux kernel?

Hi,
I'm maintainer of compcache PKGBUILD (compcache is ~ compressed virtual swap disk).
For proper work it needs to apply some patches to kernel....
I know there is an alternative to create another PKGBUILD for a custom kernel, but this seems to me an overkill.
I would like to include these patches directly into mainline arch linux kernel....
Is this good idea? How should I proceed then?
Tibor

Wintervenom,
I did not know about zen kernel at all, but though it would not be very good solution, it could be the best one. So I will post an recommendation to aur to compcache, that to get proper function of compcache one should use zen kernel...
But I 'm not going to install this kernel as compcache is not so important to me to replace mainline kernel...
tomk,
It seems that compcache will not be completely included in linux vanila kernel before 2.6.34, so that means about six months... In the meantime, compcache will not be usable with mainline arch linux kernel...
And can you please advice me how can I submit such feature request?

How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc.

How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc. I bought a new iphone 5 on ebay.com - he was used. For a decision on my case ebay asks for this information ...

Apple will never reveal that info to you, since you were not the originally purchaser. However, you can get the date of sale by entering the SN here:

Warranty starts on the date of sale, which is most likely the date of activation, but not necessarily so.

[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.

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:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/openssl
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/ma … ian.tar.gz

Modifying the stock arch linux kernel and kernel timer frequency

so if i understand correctly, if we want to modify the stock arch linux kernel, we have to pull it off of abs. ie "ABSROOT=. abs core/linux" then modify the pkgbuild, uncommenting out make menuconfig and setting the pkgbase name to something different than stock. ie, "linux-custom" then update the checksums followed by importing the gpg keys, ie "gpg --recv-keys 79BE3E4300411886 and gpg --recv-keys 38DBBDC86092693E" for the kernel and patches. then run makepkg -s.
we can't just run make menuconfig on the current kernel that's installed?
and if we pull the linux kernel from abs to customize, does it already come preconfigured with all the arch changes and settings? like its no different than the current one installed?
i just ask because for the most part, i like the current arch kernel, there are just a few minor things i want to change but kept everything else the same as stock arch linux kernel.
also, i herd arch uses 300hz for its timer. whats the benefits and disadvantage of using 300hz over 1000hz for a desktop system?

No you can't, because the kernel then has to be compiled so the kernel will run with the different tick rate.

As I understand it from the Wiki, the ABS pulls the PKGBUILD and other arch-specific sources from the ArchLinux script server. However, I don't use the ABS, but pull the files I need directly from the ArchLinux SVN and build using makepkg[1] after making the necessary changes.

You're in for a technical discussion here. This has a reasonably friendly discussion on kernel tick rates.
Basically, higher tick rates = a higher level of timing precision & higher processor load, lower tick rates = lower level of timing precision & lower processor load.
[1] Technically, I use the clean chroot manager package, which is a wrapper for makechrootpkg (which in turn is a wrapper for running makepkg in a clean chroot if I'm not mistaken).

Applied SOA patches (server), how to get patches/updates into JDeveloper?

Hi
We have recently applied the 10.1.3.3.1 MLR5 patch to our SOA Suite installs. In this there is a bug 5883401 listed as being resolved by the patchset.
We have logged an SR to find out the details of the bug (as it is once again not visible to us mere customers paying good money for support).
From this it became clear that the fix for this bug is really a JDeveloper (XSL Mapper) fix.
Oracle Support has so far been unable to help us with the information on how to get this fix (or any other fix) applied to JDeveloper. (we are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0 build 4157)
Can anybody in this forum please shed any light onto this matter?
How do we get this fix or any other fixes applied to JDeveloper?
Your help and inputs are much appreciated.

Hi,
i searched for bug 5883401. Can you provide which patch number is associated with this bug?
Is there a jar file provided?

How to use a .dmg file in Arch Linux

I have a file a friend gave me from his Mac computer with a .dmg file name. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly how to use this type of file... I believe its an Apple raw disk image or something like that.. sort of like an iso. I need to use this file in order to start an application and download it onto Arch Linux. The problem is that I can't figure out how to use it on Arch Linux and burn it onto a Cd. Has anyone had experience with this sort of thing? I am completely lost.

How to get my Oracle EBS version (on linux)

Hello,
do you know how to get Oracle EBS version (on linux)?
Thanks!

Ok, now i'm confused...
cat /etc/redhat-release For linux version.
httpd -version for Apache version.
For application release, you can get that from the DB. Query fnd_product_groups or you can get that from Help -> About page.
If you want the framework version : http://[host].[domain]:[portnumber]/OA_HTML/OAInfo.jsp

For seamless integration similar to Ubuntu:
Follow this wiki for ntfs-3g installation and fstab configuration.
For basic on-demand support:
# pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

How to get patch type (Security, Recommended, Generic) from a script?

All-
If you run updatemanager on Solaris 10, it has a column for patch "Type", and includes Security, Recommended, Generic, etc.
I would like to be able to have an automated process notify me whenever there are new patches released in either the Security or Recommended category. I've looked at using "smpatch analyze" to get a list of outstanding patches, but the patch list just includes the number and the synopsis, not what "Type" of patch it is. Even using
smpatch download -t patchnum
to fetch the README doesn't necessarily give you what Type of patch something is.
Hence the question: how is updatemanager determining the type of patch? Are there other tools that can be used to figure out what type of patch something is?
Thanks,
Tim

[SOLVED] How to get Broadcom wireless to work (Arch install)?

I'm very newbie in network managment (and in Linux in general), and it's my first time installing Arch.
I came from Debian/Ubuntu. In Ubuntu 14.04 it was working already, and in Debian 7.8 I only had to install the package "brcmsmac" to get my wi-fi card to work.
But now I have no idea what I'm doing in Arch. I've already downloaded and installed the system using the auto DHCP connection, but after the chroot I got confused, now I'm stuck in configuring the network and wireless. I didn't even install a bootloader yet. (I'm using another computer to post this)
I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_guide and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/broadcom_wireless, and Google'd about it but everything seems confusing.
I won't need anything special like a server, so I imagine the solution is very basic and newbie.
It's probably a very simple thing to do, like installing a package or loading something, and I don't want to mess up my system.
I heard about AUR but I don't know how to use it.

We need *a lot* more info than that. Could be something very simple, like the interface being up before starting wifi-menu (netctl doesn't like the interface being up, it'll only start correctly if the interface is down).
Or it could be something more. In which case, you'll need to start wpa_supplicant manually with debugging enabled:
wpa_supplicant -i wlp18s0b1 -c <(wpa_passphrase MYSSID passphrase) -d
Once this says you're connected, open another terminal and start dhcpcd. Or, if wpa_supplicant doesn't manage to connect, post the *entire* output.
Edit: Ok, you posted more info as I was writing my post. Will look through that, maybe it contains something useful. If not, follow the instructions above.
Edit2: Nope, nothing about wireless in there, except that the driver loaded.
It worked!!
I was looking into the logs and found an authentication failure...my password is very long so I made some mistakes while typing it.
So this is the solution all the way:
SOLUTION:
- No need to install or load any external drivers (all I used was already in the base installation)
- DISABLE THE HIDDEN NETWORK OPTION IN THE ROUTER (thanks for the heads-up @Gusar)
- run "# wifi-menu"
or
"# wpa_supplicant -i [interface] -c <(wpa_passphrase MYSSID passphrase) -d"
- run "# dhcpcd [interface]"
- Good to go!!
I'm sorry for the trouble guys, and like I imagined, it was really easy and now I see my newbiness hahaha ;D
Thanks.
