Make a custom package-cd

I run now arch-linux since the release of 0.5 and I am very happy with it!
Now I'd like to install Arch on another computer. All my packages here are up to date and instead of installing Arch on the other computer and make pacman -Syu (and to wait several hours) I'd like to burn a cd wich contains all my updated packages from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ and use that as an custom package repository.
I tried to build a compressed package database out of this directory but I didn't work...
Are there any suggestions how I could achieve that? The computer would also be in the same network if I could even install it over the network!

take a look at how the base iso is set up (if you have one). make an arch/ directory with a pkg/ (or is it pkgs) directory within that then place all your packages in it, then gensync (see the pacman manpage on how to use gensync) and with that you can create your "current.db.tar.gz" . then create a setup/ directory like there is on the iso. in this directory there is a packages.txt (apparently there is some way of generating this) and the pacman source if i am not mistaken. once you have your arch/ directory set up like the iso create and iso of it. yiou do not need to make a isolinux directory. then make floppies of the floppy images available on the ftp server and then use those to start your install procedure then when you get to the part where it asks if you are installing via cdrom or ftp put your disc in and select cdrom install. from there it will be just like installing via cd.
make sure that your current.db.tar.gz package and packages.txt all match or you will have to start all over generating a new iso, etc. i suggest that you use a cdrw just incase you have to go back and correct any content in packages.txt, current.db.tar.gz or your actual package directory.

[SOLVED] Can Pacman Manage My Custom Packages

I am going to make a custom build of MPlayer because I want it patched to take advantage of the Compiz Video plugin. I think I might enable a couple other options that are disabled as well. The thing I'm not sure of is how pacman will react to my package. I know I can install it with pacman, but when a new official MPlayer package is released in the repos, will it update it and override my custom package? If so, I thought it might help if I changed the package name, but then I thought that might mess up dependency tracking. For instance, if I make a custom package of which other packages rely on, will those other packages be able to see mine and list the dependency as fulfilled?
Basically I want a way for my system to see my custom package as something that can fulfill dependencies for other official packages that might rely on that particular program. But at the same time I don't want it overridden when a new official package comes out since it likely won't contain the options I want enabled. If it would give a message indicating a new version is available but not install it, that would really help. Is this possible, and what would be the best way to handle this?

Bug in Print Module, LR3.6, custom package

Hi everybody,
After two days of unequal fight with Print Module bug I hope I finally pinned it down.
Hope it saves someone time
I have my photos usually cropped in DSLR format (2:3)
Printing I use often two popular formats 13x18cm and 15x21cm that are close to 5:7 (first one is 5x7in)
Initially I was using virtual copies and had them cropped to 5:7 format.
However this makes a little mess in my workflow and it's time consuming.
What I found was Custom Package in Print Module.
Having cell with target size I drag desired photo into the cell and using cmd-key drag this foto to have proper look as the width target format is smaller. So far so good, but ...
From time to time printed photo looked totally different from what I saw on-screen.
First of all there are couple threads about that problem. I visited them but they remain unanswered
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3344521
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3278739
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/697107
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3885690
There are visual samples there of what happens.
Photos in JPG file that was created from LR look differently than in LR. Photos in file are bigger or/and wrong positioned within the cell
What I managed to find is:
Everything goes fine until photo is rotated by 'Rotate to Fit' function. It happens in my case only with photos that have the same orientation that template.
Example:
Template is set on A4 borderless format set to portait (Page Setup... button).
Two cells 14,85cm height x 21cm width (A5 format). First one over second and both in landcape position.
When I drag photo cropped in Landscape orientation such a photo is rendered properly.
When I drag photo cropped in Portrait orientation it's atutomatically rotated 90 degrees (couterclockwise) by "Rotate to Fit option" and that is when **** happens.
Final print (to file or printer) shows that user dragging is omitted in render. What's more if "Photo border" is set to on, photo in this cell is not reduced. Instead of this (as far as I can see) photo border just crop some part of picture.
If I switch orientation of the A4 page from portrait to lansdcape, magically photos that are cropped in portrait orientation start to render good (they are not rotated now) while those in landscape start to render wrong.
This looks 99% as software bug.
I'm using LR3.6 on mac osx 10.6.8
I'd like someone to follow it and to check if the same happens on different Mac or Windows.
Cheers
Robert

Confirmed in LR 5.3, OS X 10.9.1.
Screen display is fine, user repositioning is ignored when printing if page is in landscape mode and the image is rotated 90° (Rotate to Fit on). A4, Epson printer. Bug also appears in PDFs generated via the "Printer…" button. I didn't check JPEG export.

OWA_SEC.CUSTOM package - Custom authentication procedures...

Folks -
I haven't ever used the OWA_SEC.CUSTOM package for custom authentication of a psp application - and now need to do so. The documentation doesn't have any examples of what I need to do. Although there is plenty of documentation - it all says the same stuff, without saying what developers need to do to get it to work.
For example I have updated the following files in the following ways - and still it doesn't work:
owapriv.sql - updated the line that says:
auth_scheme := OWA_SEC.NO_CHECK;
to :
auth_scheme := OWA_SEC.CUSTOM;
owacust.sql - updated to say:
create or replace package body OWA_CUSTOM is
/* Global PLSQL Agent Authorization callback function - */
/* It is used when PLSQL Agent's authorization scheme is set to */
/* GLOBAL or CUSTOM when there is overriding OWA_CUSTOM package.*/
/* This is a default implementation. User should modify. */
function authorize return boolean is
v_username varchar2(30);
v_pass varchar2(30);
BEGIN
owa_sec.set_authorization(OWA_SEC.CUSTOM);
owa_sec.set_protection_realm('my_app');
v_username := owa_sec.get_user_id;
v_pass := owa_sec.get_password;
IF v_username = 'cmanning' THEN
return TRUE;
ELSE
return FALSE;
END IF;
end;
end;
show errors
wdbsvrapp.sql looks like this:
[DAD_mydad]
connect_string = my_connect_string
password = my_password
username = my_username
default_page = my_default_package.procedure
;document_table =
;document_path =
;document_proc =
;upload_as_long_raw =
;upload_as_blob =
name_prefix =
;always_describe =
;after_proc =
;before_proc =
reuse = Yes
connmax = 20
;pathalias =
;pathaliasproc =
enablesso = No
;custom_auth =
Can anyone tell me what I am missing / doing wrong.
For example:
When I take out the username/password reference from the wdbsvr.app file - the browswer tries to authenticate me and the only username/password that validates is the username/password of the database user.
I don't want to have to have database users for every application user that should be authenticated in my application. I want to put a routine in the owacust.sql file that authenticates users (via my own routine or an optional LDAP/radius/SecurID lookup). In this basic example - I am only validating with the cmanning/cmanning combination.
From what I understand in the documentation - if I use OWA_SEC.CUSTOM - then I don't have to put a .authorize function in every package - the OWA agent simply authenticates every request via the OWA_CUSTOM.authorize function.....
Dude - what's up?
Can someone from the Big O help a brother out?

It looks to me like you want your users authenticated when they try to view your pl/sql-generated html pages, but you want to control the validation with custom code.
You appear to be trying to use owa_custom.authorize to authorize each request, which seems like a good approach.
This whole area is quite complex and I have never found any really comprehensive doco on it. Here are my thoughts which others might like to comment on.
This is a simple version of owa_custom:
PACKAGE BODY OWA_CUSTOM IS
FUNCTION authorize return boolean is
BEGIN
owa_sec.set_protection_realm('aRealm');
if owa.user_id is null then
return false;
else
return my_validate_user
(owa.user_id,owa.get_password);
end if;
exception
RETURN FALSE;
END authorize;
begin
owa_sec.set_authorization(OWA_SEC.GLOBAL);
end;
Note the begin block that applies to the package and sets authorization to GLOBAL when the package is loaded.
The authentication mode in the DAD will need to be Global Owa (afaik) and you will need to supply an oracle username and password in the DAD. ie. you will authenticate the userid/password supplied by the user and then the user will connect to the database as the oracle user specified in the DAD.
I cannot test this code at the moment. Nor can I give you complete instructions to set up authentication from scratch. But here's a brief description of what the code should do.
1. It sets authorization to GLOBAL. So mod_plsql will call owa_custom.authorize for every request. That is, you don't call owa_custom.authorize, it will be done for you and the internals probably look like this:
if owa_custom.authorize then
user_requesed_page(user_supplied_args);
else
send_access_denied;
end if;
2. It sets up a realm, which is relevant to HTTP Basic Authentication and its challenge/response. (You don't have to use HTTP Basic Authentication. An alternative is to present a login form to the user, then you manage the userid/password.)
3. It looks in owa.user_id which will hold the userid supplied by the browser after a HTTP Basic Authentication challenge/response.
4. It uses your custom code to validate the userid and password once the user has been challenged to provide these. You obviously have to create the my_validate_user procedure in the schema and package of your choice.
5. It does not time users out, it does not sustain multi-sessions per user via cookies and it does not support logout without shutting the browsers. But it is simpler for lacking these features.
If this is a way you want to try then your first aim should be to make sure owa_custom is called globally and that it lets you into the database via the DAD-supplied userid and password. You may need some way of writing debug on the server using utl_file to confirm it is being called. Or you could make it return true unconditionally, request a page, then make it return false and request a page.
This is just a start, but let me know if it is on topic.
It would be great to hear suggestions and comments from others on authentication for an htp application under iAS.

Undefined method error in custom package even with proper import

I edited the title of this thread to be a little more descriptive about the help I need.
The background: I have a multi-file Flash application that allows users to navigate through multiple pages (similar to a website). I realized yesterday that with each mouse click, I'm loading a page into memory, but not unloading it. After navigating through several pages, my memory really starts to take a hit. So, I want to define a custom package that loads each page and unloads the previous page.
I've gotten as far as defining the pageLoad function, but I keep getting an error that doesn't make sense to me (unless I'm importing the wrong flash packages).
When I test the Flash, I consistently get the following error:
dtutils.as – 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild. – addChild(pageLoader);
Everything I have found indicates that to import the addChild method, I need to import flash.display.Sprite, which I'm doing, but I am still getting the error.
You'll have to forgive me as I'm not extremely familiar with objects or actionscript. I'm more of a hacker, but I grasp things quickly and can build on what I've already learned. This might be obvious to others, but I can't find anything that indicates that I'm doing anything wrong with my code, so any help you can give is greatly appreciated!!
My package code:
package com.clientname.demo
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    public class dtutils
        //Properties
        public var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
        public var pagePath:URLRequest;
        //Constructor
        public function loadPage(url:String)
            pagePath = new URLRequest(url);
            pageLoader.load(pagePath);
            addChild(pageLoader);
I've also attempted to replace the four import lines in my package with the following 3 import lines, but I still get the same error message:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
The code I'm using to import my package and call the function in my flash file is:
import com.clientname.demo.dtutils;
dtutils.loadPage("../filepath/filename.swf");
I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Thanks for the feedback. Being fairly new with actionscript (and an object approach, in general), and not being a real developer, I often struggle with naming conventions. Didn't even realize there was a specific convention for what is considered a utility and what isn't. However, I appreciate your feedback and will rename my package so that it isn't confusing to any other real developers that may need to do something with this code in the future.
Thanks!

Unable to save a Z-Tcode in Custom Package,unable to assign a transport Req

Hi all,
I am trying to create a T-code for standard SAP Program RSTXPDFT4. I was able to successfully create a T-code for this report program which has selection screen.
But I created it as a Local Object.
Now I am trying to create another T-code for the same SAP standard program in our custom package used in our company called /ABCDE/FGH01.
But it does not allow me to save the T-code in this custom package and throws an error saying
u201CCustomer Object Z_TCODE cannot be assigned to package /ABCDE/FGH01 u201D.
Why am I unable to save it in a custom package and assign a transport request for it, Is it because I am creating t-code for standard SAP program? If I try to save it as local object I donu2019t get any error and it works perfect. But my actual requirement is to make the object transportable and save in custom package.
Some one please help me with this.

/ABCDE/FGH01 <<< "not a custom package.. custom packages start with Z
/ABCDE/ is a registered namespace, and could very well be customer code. It is not all Y and Z any more.
One thing we noticed when we used a registered namespace was that if your package was in the registered namespace, then your object also had to be. That is, if your tcode starts with Z, your package name must also start with Z. if your package name starts with /ABCDE, the so too must your TCODE. I dont know this to be 100% fact, becuase we no longer use a registered namepsace, i just seem to recall that it was true.
be wary of creating tcodes that start with /, too... the users will always have to put /n or /o in front of them. In general, we really hated using the registered namepsace, and quickly renamed a TON of stuff to get away from it.

Creating an executable jar-file including a custom package

I am trying to learn how to create executable jar-files. I have managed this with a single class. However having a class which is an extention of another class which in turn belongs to custom package, I can't make it work.Running the program normally is not a problem. I don't think the problem is the actual code, but I will include it here anyway. I create the jar-file using:
jar -cmf Direkt2b.txt Direkt2b.jar *.class
where Direkt2b.txt is just:
Main-Class: Diriekt2b
Only the main class-file is included this way. Copying the other file to the same directory before creation doesn't help either. There is no error messages, the jar-file just refuses to run no matter what.
The main-class:
import java.awt.*;
import extra.*;
class Direkt2b extends ExtendedFrame {
     Font f;
     Direkt2b() {
          f = new Font("SansSerif", Font.BOLD, 24);
          setBackground(Color.yellow);
          setSize(400,150);
     public void paint(Graphics g) {
          g.setFont(f);
          g.setColor(Color.blue);
          g.drawString("V?lkommen till Java Direkt", 45, 100);
     public static void main (String[] arg) {
          Direkt2b d2 = new Direkt2b();
          d2.setVisible(true);
The help-class:
package extra;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ExtendedFrame extends Frame {
     private static boolean first = true;
     private boolean isFirst = first;
     public ExtendedFrame() {
          addWindowListener(theListener);
          first=false;
     WindowAdapter theListener = new WindowAdapter () {
          public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
          dispose();
          if (isFirst)
               System.exit(0);
}

My problem wasn't really getting more than one class in a jar-file,
but rather that my jar-file with multiple classes wouldn't execute.
Reading the original post I realized that maybe I was unclear about that.
However I have solved the problem now so for anybody reading this
thread in the future I will tell you how.
The general setting is this: You have a bunch of self-made help-classes
organized in some classdirectory somewhere in the filesystem. You use these
in your programming from time to time. You have set a classpath-varible
in your OS such that Java could find your help-classes.
Now you want to create executable jar-files so that you could publish your work.
My problem was that while I added all needed classes in a jar-file, the main-class
couldn't find the others because they were referenced incorrectly. The solution I
came up with may not be elegant, but it works. I copied the main-class and all directories
(only one in my case) just as they appear in the classpath-directory, to the same temporary
directory. Then I created the jar-file from there, using: jar -cmfv Direkt2b.txt Direkt2b.jar Direkt2b.class extra/*.class
I suspected that incorrect referencing was the problem and I tried several variations on the theme above
before giving up and writing the first post. Part the problem was that I didn't get any error messages,
just an annoying error-sound double-clicking the jar-file. I learned later that you could run jar-files from
the command -prompt using: java -jar myjarfile.jar. This way you get a more useful response.
I guess there is a way to include the classpath instead somehow, but I will use my method for now.
I hope this was helpful to somebody.

Make new custom tag in A2

Good evening,
I'm trying to add a custom tag to an image in Aperture 2.0. I've looked all over the internet and find no examples what so ever of AS and Aperture 2.0.
I have a few guesses that produce one of two different errors - but no idea how to actually make this work. Any ideas ?
tell application "Aperture"
copy selection to theSel
repeat with curImg in theSel
class of curImg
--image version
-- make new custom tag at curImg with properties {name:"NewTag", value:"New Tag's Value"}
-- set aNewTag to make new custom tag with properties {name:"NewTag", value:"New Tag's Value"}
-- Aperture got an error: Can’t make or move that element into that container.
-- make new custom tag at end of curImg with properties {name:"NewTag", value:"New Tag's Value"}
-- make new custom tag at end of (curImg) with properties {name:"NewTag", value:"New Tag's Value"}
-- make new custom tag at end of custom tags of curImg with properties {name:"NewTag", value:"New Tag's Value"}
-- make new custom tag at end of curImg's custom tags with properties {name:"NewTag", value:"New Tag's Value"}
--Aperture got an error: Can’t make application "Aperture" into type specifier.
end repeat
end tell

If I recall, it was done because how tags were to be handled in 1.2 was very different from 1.1 and it was felt that developers shouldn't rely on implementation specific classes (unless they were SPI) for several other reasons (application portability being the big one here).
If it's felt that this was the wrong decision, please feel free to log an issue [1] against the RI (to date, no one has).
As to the 'borked' dependency URLs, please log an issue [1] if you find these. We have nightly builds going that work from a clean workspace and checking today's result, it seems ok.

Which trigger are you using to do the "getting saved automatically'?
Does this trigger fire before the trigger that is making the field mandatory?

How can I get an ucropped image in a Custom Package when using Stroke and/or Border??

How can I get a picture in a Custom Package that has a Stroke and/or a border and get the image shown fully, and not cropped in one way or other?
When I add the stroke/border it adds them inside the cell, thereby altering the ratio of the area for the picture inside it, which crops it in some way. How can I get the image to be uncropped? The controls available seem to all be for the ration of the outside of the cell, but my image is inside the stroke/border and nothing seems to work on it directly ...
Many thanks,
Gary

Perhaps I misunderstood your requirement. I have been frustrated by LR print module and labs effectively squeezing individual shots into existing frames. So I have used LR2Mogrify to export (and then re-import) a 'new image' which manages the discrepancy between a crop and a cell of a different aspect ratio by adding padding - usually 'white' - around the image to a canvas corresponding to cell dimensions. Adding stroke borders can be accomplished in Mogrify inside or outside the image. A custom package, with multiple cell dimensions can be populated with images created in the corresponding aspect ratio(s) for the relevant cells.
I'm not aware of a way of automating the creation of cells in a page to dimensions which change with the crop as discovered - drag and drop images onto a blank page creates cells of the same standard size.

How do I make a custom brush image in a gradient color scheme in Photoshop Elements 12?

I want to make a custom brush image in a gradient color scheme. I know how to change the hue jitter, but I want to "paint" the image with a gradient between two colors. For example, I have an image of an octopus that I have used to create a custom brush. I want the top of the octopus to be hot pink and gradually fade into a deep orange at the end of the tentacles. Everything I've looked up just colors the background. Thanks in advance!

Try the following:
Open the octopus image
Open a Gradient Map Adjustment layer above this. There are several preset gradients, but in my version of the program I don't see one with pink to orange.
When you double click on the gradient bar in the Adjustments palette, this will open up the Gradient Editor, where you can tailor the gradient to your specifications with color and opacity stops. (see below)
This will apply the gradient to the entire picture. However, the adjustment layer has a built-in mask (the white rectangle).
Left click on this and paint with a black brush to hide the gradient outside of the octopus. If you go too far, you can correct with a white brush.
Now, as to the Gradient map adjustment layer, here is how to configure it:

How do I personalize a form to call a custom package instead of standard

We are finding that the vertex tax package is not correctly calculating the taxes for AR late changes. The late payment charge invoices are being created without an item and we know that if we had this in there the taxes would be calculated correctly. We have a solution designed by a senior architect and would like to pursue that approach unless it has been established it is impossible.
From the Batch maintenance form ARIINR.fmb there is a generate button. It calls some pl/sql and eventually the api to create the invoice. What we want to do here is from the when button pressed trigger call a custom package (with most of the same logic intact). The problem is is that we don't want to call both the custom and standard package, only the custom one.
My question is really is there any way to avoid calling the standard package by exiting out of the trigger after the custom package completed? I know I could easily change the standard form to accomplish this but we want to accomplish this in such a way to still maintain our support with Oracle on this form. So we are looking to do this via a personalization or custom.pll change.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

To my knowledge, both CUSTOM.pll and Forms Personalization execute code in addition to standard code, not instead off.

your right.. i ment acrobat pro :-)
my problem is that i use the PDF printer to export CAD drawings as PDF´s.
As it is now, there are some pre-defined page sizes in the print settings, and i know i can add custom pages manually one at a time.
What i want is to copy the list of my danish standard page sizes, and use them on my other versions of acrobat.
Its like 70 different sizes, and i have them made manually on my current computer, but i hope its possible to copy the list to other computers.
Maby its some script where i can define the sizes, and then copy to another computer. Im just not that much of a computer genius :-)
Hope i got through this without to many spelling mistakes...
Thanks for helping.
