Idea for package review system

I've set up a small proposal at http://arch.gooeylinux.org/ . I had been discussing with Xentac for a while about displaying random packages on the Arch front page. The devels would then encourage people to test them, and go along the lines of "if you can't program, or don't have lots of free time, help out this way". People want to help, but they need a "starting point", and the random packages give that.
The packages listed at the top of the linked page are just random, and don't really mean much. It's just an example.
Basically, my problem with the current system is that once a package makes it into -Current, there is no periodic review to make sure the packages are still working, up to date, etc. This would provide a network of people to review first, current packages, and second, new major changes that the devels want to implement, but don't want to risk without testing. It's all explained on the link.  This network of testers could be a very valuable asset to the developers.
lavapunk helped out and tested 4 random packages I listed yesterday and found 3 packaging/build errors. I think this helps to prove the system is needed.
I'd love any criticism. I'm sure there's kinks in the idea.

OK, I was thinking of expanding the project with a "package feedback" system, where people would report WORKING packages (bugtracker is still the place for broken packages).
This would help me get an idea about who is participating, and it would give us some assurance packages are working well. Does this sound like a good idea? What type of system should I use?
Just a small update, from chatting on IRC, it seems as if a few more broken packages were found through the project testing (not by me).
this sounds like an excelent idea ... but what system to use i dont know exactly --- i would start with a mysql-db (maybe you can have an export from the original one??) and a php interface with user/account access ... but i'm proposing this, because this is the only solution i really can code to work and did, so maybe there are other better ones (tomcat? ...?)

  • Idea for package/procedure/function distribution ??

    Hi all
    We have multilple databases (10.2.0.3). And we have a lot of "utility" packages for both appl. util and for DBA utils.
    We have created a XXXUTIL schema on each database.
    How do we keep those schemas in sync automatically - apart from doing export/import? We will name on "master" and all other should be in sync with this one schema (packages/procedures/functions/views)
    Is there a smarter way of doing this, a pull or push replication solotiuon. We are on the 10g Enterprise verison.
    Ideas appreciated
    best regards
    Mette

    Hi,
    As you said you got a lot of utility Packages, I think you can directly compile those scripts one you changed in the master DB, there won't be any thing to Sync the Procedures from One DB to another DB.
    If it is a data then, you might gone for DB Link, Streams etc., for replicating the data.
    In order to automate your need to write a script for logging into DB and running set of scripts and disconnecting - a shell script.
    Just think is that your requirement.!!

  • Sales Process for Packaging material (VERP)

    Hi All,
    I have a business requirement to set up the sales process for Packaging materials and the material type is VERP.
    But system will not allow me to create Sales order using the same material because material category VERP needs to be added for the Order type OR.
    VERP materials not authorized to create sales orders. I think we need toset up new process.
    Pls help me if you have any idea about to set up the nbew process.
    Kindly help me..
    Regards,
    SK

    as mentioned earlier,
    1. See to it that the material with Material type VERP has tabs Sales org 1, Sales org 2, Sales:General/ Plant.
    This can be configured in OMS2. Maybe already there in standard configuration
    2. In VOV4, assign the item category to your Sales doc type and It cat. gr. VERP
    Then in VA01, test by creating a sales order.

    Hi Micheal,
    It seems that it is not the correct forum, since this forum is to discuss Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    Just to make this issue clearly, which kind of app are you developing? Do you mean that you install any third party libraries/extension tool in your VS IDE? Is it related to the telerik? If it is related to the third party libraries, I suggest you post this
    issue to the third party form for it. For example, if it is related telerik, you could select the correct forum here:

  • System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

    Greetings    
                                        - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
    server -
    Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
    partition on each source hard drive is not included.
    Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
    Server A good.
    Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
    disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
    At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
    "The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
    The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
    Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
    Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
    Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
    The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
    Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
    Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
    Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
    Server A  SRP 100MB  C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Server B  SRP 100MB  C: 102GB  on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.
    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/e855ee43-186d-4200-a032-23d214d3d524      Some people report success after diskpart clean, but not us.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/31595afd-396f-4084-b5fc-f80b6f40dbeb
    "If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring."  Doesnt apply here.
    http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
    for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
    Thank you so much.

    Hello,
    1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
    You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
    2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
    3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
    correct order in the hardware.
    4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
    bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline. 
    5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
    should be present with minimum size requirement.
    6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

  • Ideas for a beginner to program

    I've started mentoring a young student - teaching him LabVIEW. He
    is enjoying it and we have covered the basics. Now I need to come up
    with a project for him to start writing a program(s) on his own. For
    the time being, I would like to keep it to calculations/analysis/display
    kinds of things (no Daq hardware). I was wondering if anyone had ideas
    (or previous experience) of such kinds of programs - something
    relatively easy at this point, but useful/fun enough to keep him interested.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    Here is an idea for a nice little project would be:
    (assuming no Daq or GPIB hardware).
    Open a binary file. Parse the file to identify the OP codes and operands. Translate it to "english". Display the translation and write it to another file.
    You can expand to opening a serial port, communicating to a serial device. Interpret the data (especially if there is some sort of waveform to analyze). Plot the data "real-time". Display warnings or conditions if low or high limits are reached, or if a number of samples has been achieved.
    Prompt for user intervention (what to do with the data, ie: save it to file, display it, print it, etc). Allow for user control of the vi (Run / Pause / Stop / Abort).
    The above should provide basic functionality where ther
    e is no instrument to control or a data-acquisition system to monitor.
    Are you looking for real projects? Maybe a bit more challenging?

  • Ideas for lastest chipsets and computing hardware

    i have many ideas for silicone based builds and i would like input from everyone if you wish.
    discrete graphics are great and i believe that both Intel and AMD have made great recent leaps in this architecture and i give them both respect.
    i believe low cas is the way to go for memory to assist in optimal multi-core usage and rendering capability.
    3-d technology looks amazing to me although i have yet to try it out myself as well as a lot of the newest touch screens.
    i would like to see 4-8 system threads with high physics per thread and as low of frequency as possible for less power draw after all if we are going to be innovative we should be energy efficient at the same time.
    my point of view is from a gamers and over clocking perspective with little understanding of the hard work that goes into the programming and server end of the computing industry.

    In before Mike!

  • Creative ideas for Remote Backups and Working from Home??

    Here's my problem in a nutshell:
    My primary workstation is at my office where all my important files are stored. I backup once a month onto an external firewire drive which I (usually) keep off location in case of fire/theft etc.
    In the future I'm going to need to conduct about 75% of my work from my office and the remainder from home. I'd like to be able to work on a file at my office. Go home. Sleep. And be able to work on the same file from home the next morning.
    Any ideas for how I should do this? One solution I had was to run a nightly backup of my office computer (a tower) to a remote firewire drive at home (basically a clone). I could then plugin into the firewire drive with my laptop. This would also serve as a remote backup of my client's files.
    Does this make sense? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions or pointers in terms of easy-to-use backup software. And how complicated would it be to set this up to a remote drive? And will there be problems with remotely backing us, say, a 500 MB file?
    Cheers!

    What O/Ss are involved; are they both OS X? Home OS X, work Windows?
    Many people telecommute by running the applications remotely, with a display server connecting their application to the system they're using. For instance, my work system is Linux; all applications use X windows as their display interface. My home system is OS X, which includes an optional X windows display server. Most of the time, when I need to work from home, I run a VPN client and use 'ssh -X' from an xterm under X on OS X to log in to my office system; and then I can run any application on my office system and have it display on my OS X system.
    Similar solutions exist for most common OSs. Windows systems can run VNC or Citrix to export their display to clients that can run on OS X, Linux, or Windows; OS X can run Remote Desktop to export their display to clients that can run on Linux or OS X; etc.
