Question about some packages in arch

Hello
Where do I report/ask about packages in arch *like in AUR there is a comment section*
The reason is because well the package (sdl) didn't had PulseAudio support so I was wondering where to report it and KTorrents didn't bring any plug-ins with the package (plus I can't compile it since there is a phonon error I don't get)
sorry if this wasn't the section,
Thanks

alright, thanks fukawi2, wonder
well, i'm compiling them alright, but not ABS *need to read the wiki*

A question about creating packages as local objects in ABAP

Hi,
I have a question about creating packages with SE80. Whenever I create a new package it is assigned a new transport request. After that, I can create new programs inside this package, and each time I can choose whether to assign the new program to a transport request or just save it as a local object (I often do this for test programs that I don't transport and I remove them once my tests have been done).
What I would like to ask is that, is it possible to create a package (and not just programs inside a given package) as a local object? so that every new object created in this package will be considered as a local object?
Thanks in advane,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Please also check the F1 help for the package field e.g. in SE80, SAP standard is in range A-S and U-X, namespaces start with "/", so you should be save. I am using the T namespace for temporary stuff since a long time and did not have a problem so far.

Thank you very much for this remark, I checked F1 help for the package field and in fact as you mentioned these ranges are for local objects.
Once again, thank you very much for your help.

Some Question About Multiple Packages

Dear javadoc users,
I'm a newcomer here.
I have some packages which contain many source files.
I want to load them all and make the help file in a single list.
A list like
java.net
java.io ......
Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how I can implement this?
I search all the faq about this. But I can't get enough hints.
Thanks.

Have you tried looking at these examples:

A question about some of the features

I have Vista so therefore am unable to use the trial version of photoshop elements. Before I go ahead and purchase the software, I had a few questions about its features.
I'll mainly be using photoshop to create digital scrapbooks. I know that photoshop comes equipped with themes and images, but I would like to know if I can use my own backgrounds and images. If I am able to use my own backgrounds, can they tile?
Another thing I would like to know is if I can create my own projects with custom dimensions.
Lastly, I'll be using photoshop to sprite. Is elements well suited for spriting? More specifically, does it have a color selection/replacement tool?

I use PSE for digital scrapbooking. Instead of using the "built in"
creations and albums, just create your own PSD files with layers of
whatever images/embellishments/background papers you want. You can
specify whatever size of creation you want when you create your PSD file
(you only have the choice of certain sizes when you use the built in
stuff).
Not sure about what you mean about making your backgrounds tile, but I
think it is possible. You can take a "background" paper, do a selection,
and then define a pattern and fill it. Or, if you mean layer your
background papers - yes you can do that too. (Here is my online
scrapbook pages, all of which were done in PSE 4 or 5:
http://www.scrappersguide.com/forums/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=413)
You can select by color (using the magic wand tool) and you can replace
color, but it may not work exactly as you expect. (I also don't know
what spriting is.) But, many people just use a hue/saturation adjustment
layer to change colors.

Need somne information about some packages.

Hi I am trying to understand a script where some packages are used.
dbms_sql.open_cursor
dbms_sql.parse
dbms_sql.define_column
Can someone explain me what theses packages do?
FOR cur_source_rec IN cur_source LOOP
lv_version_cursor_num := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
lv_dml_statement_txt := 'SELECT ' || cur_source_rec.name ||
'.what_version FROM DUAL';
BMS_SQL.PARSE(lv_version_cursor_num, lv_dml_statement_txt,
DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(lv_version_cursor_num, 1,
lv_package_version_txt, 100);
Well I d like to know what theses special functions do.
Where can I find a complete definition of these packages?

The documenation is always a good place to start.
Cheers, APC

[makepkg] Question about split packages handling in makepkg

Hello
One question came to my mind, while I was looking at the vlc PKGBUILD. Does splitting packages have to be done in such a non efficient way? I mean, why do we have to delete for example, a directory, once make install has been issued, only to copy the removed parts by hand in the next function? Wouldn't it be better to just specify something like per-package %files section (like in RPM .spec files)? Is this approach possible in Arch without ditching all the work up to now? If there was any discussion about that, I would love to take part in it. I am also looking forward to listening some critical comments.

Allan wrote:How is providing a list of files to include more efficient that providing a list not to include?
If it was only about providing a list of files to include/exclude, it would be ok. However, as far as I know, when Makefile has only one install target and we have to separate some files, we have to install all first, and then remove parts which don't fit into the main package just to copy them back in place in the next package-foo2() function. It's like doing the same work twice. Is that right? If so, it could be quite problematic to package bigger projects. I'm kind of speculating here, because I can't name any of the "big projects", but I'm quite sure there are some out there. I hope I made my point clearly now.

Questions about the differences between Arch and Chakra.

I'm trying to decide whether to install Arch or Chakra on my laptop. Currently, I'm running Arch on my desktop and Windows 7 on my laptop (which I plan to overwrite). My skill level with GNU/Linux is somewhat intermediate – noobs refer to me as an expert, experts refer to me as a noob. If it matters, I'm a KDE user and primarily use my computers for web browsing and python development. Anyway, I just wanted to get an objective opinion on the differences between Arch and Chakra. I have a few points that stand out to me, but I welcome any input.
-Stability
I started my journey into GNU/Linux with Debian back in 2009 due to it's stability. I really disliked Debian's ancient software and considered moving my system to Unstable. While doing some googling about Debian Unstable, I stumbled across Arch – it was love at first sight. I've been an Arch user ever since. I love the bleeding edge software, and haven't had any major problems since I originally installed it. However, every time I run a system update I cringe a little. While Arch hasn't broken on me yet, I've read plenty of horror stories and it makes me uneasy. I understand that Chakra is a mix between a point and rolling release model. Is it any more or less stable than Arch? I know there are other distrobutions out there, but I'm in love with the Arch philosophy.
-Security
Pretty self-explanatory, but is there any difference in security between the two?
-AUR
As much as I love Arch, I wouldn't be able to stand it if it weren't for the massive collection of software available in the AUR. While I'm perfectly capable of compiling software myself, I prefer to use a command like tool like yaourt to manage my software. I understand that Chakra doesn't officially support the AUR and that they have their own user repository. Seeing as Chakra is still relatively new, is it lacking? Will I miss the AUR as a Chakra user?
-Repositories
Is there much difference in the official repositories between the two distrobutions?

My take on Chakra is that it's the same as Arch with different developers. They use pacman. They have a different and rather nice build system for their developers. They're doing a good job, but I'd hate to give up the services of Allan McRae who must work full time keeping the Archlinux core and toolchain up to date. Chakra devs probably piggy-back off his work.
As for "semi" rolling: I don't see Chakra as having a stable core. A stable core sounds attractive, it would be like NetBSD which has a very stable core Unix operating system with apps added via pkgsrc. But Chakra's core and toolchain is at the same version levels as Archlinux most of the time and are no more tested and stabilized than ours. Their core packages are updated piecemeal just like ours; there is no stable core that is released as a unit (afaik). Today Chakra has gcc 4.7 / glibc 2.15 just like ours. Their kernel is a little more stable: they're using udev 181 / linux 3.2.8 while Arch is on udev 182 / linux 3.3.7. They are more conservative in upgrading xorg and the video drivers than Arch. For example, today they're on xorg-server 1.10.4 / intel video 2.17 while Arch is up-to-the-bleeding-edge-minute with xorg-server 1.12.1.902 and intel video 2.19. Yeah, I would consider Chakra to be a little more "stable" than Arch mainly because of their relaxed pace in changing the kernel and the xorg stuff.
Most of the patches that I look at for Arch packages (I build my system entirely from source and try to build monthly releases for myself) are needed because we use more recent core packages like glib2/glibc/gcc than the developers of higher level stuff like qt. Chakra is in the same situation. We're on the front of the wave
The Chakra CCR is compatible with the Arch AUR and mainly draws from AUR (an AUR buildscript will usually work fine on a Chakra system -- they just add one or two additional info fields.) With a little effort you could get any package installed on a Chakra system that is available on Arch.

Question about renamed packages in APEX 2.2

A simple question. If the packages in 2.2 have been renamed, do I need to expect any problems upgrading to that version. Some of the HTMLDB_UTIL functions and procedures are used in my application code. Or you just kept the old names as synonyms?
Denes Kubicek

Hi Denes,
Just found this in the documentation:
In release 2.2, Oracle Application Express APIs were renamed using the prefix APEX_. Note that API's using the previous prefix HTMLDB_ are still supported to provide backward compatibility. As a best practice, however, use the new API names for new applications unless you plan to run them in an earlier version of Oracle Application Express.
So you should not have any problems.

Question about the "Windows and Arch Dual Boot" wiki

I've been reading this wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Win … _Dual_Boot to get a better understanding of what I need to do to install Arch along side of my XP installation and there's one point that I don't understand. Here it is
It is important to note that there is a 1024 cylinder limit with some older BIOSs. This means that the BIOS cannot access things beyond the 1024th cylinder (about 8.5GB), so the /boot partition should be in the first 8.5GB (space before Windows partition).
How does one go about getting the /boot partition created during the installation of Arch to install in the first 8.5g? I have installed Arch in Virtualbox twice so far just so that I'm familiar with the procedure and I can't see anything in the installation where I can do this.
There's one other item that is not clear to me as I've seen conflicting information on it. If I do create a seperate "/boot" partition for Arch, do I need to make it "bootable"during the installation? At this point I don't think that I do.
My understanding of installing to be able to dual boot is that I only need to install Grub to "Sda" and of course edit the grub menu to add the information needed for XP. Is this enough?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, you install grub to sda (master boot record), and add the entry for Windows. In the step where you partition the harddrive, you can choose where to create it. Actually it may not be that much of a problem anymore, my boot is on the third partition, after ~15 GB. You can forget about the bootable flag when using grub, it does not care.

Question about some effect

Hi,
I was trying to find out how it's made the effect from the website below, I mean the one from the packages in the middle of the website (Domain names, Email hosting ect), on mouse over the image is brighter, is it just a 'image swap' effect but how they put the text then? The second question is about the fade in and out of the text on the bottom of the website (Where is: Why choose Fasthosts) is it possible to do it in Dreamweaver or is this flash animation?
Website: http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/
Regards

Ok, Gary gave the right answer about the middle section. Case closed.
About the effect you're talking about at the bottom (I suppose it's the "Why choose Fasthost?" section), it's in JavaScript.
To answer the question "is it possible to do it in Dreamweaver", you can do it by using Spry effect: Select the element you want to animate and in the Behaviors panel, select Effect and then the Appear/Fade (or Blind, which is similar). Enter the settings, and you have a Fade In effect (you may need to change the event, for example to use onLoad instead of onClick).
You can go further (for example, to have many sentences like the other website does) by looking at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/htmlpanel/html_panel_two.html
If you don't want to use Spry, other JavaScript libraries (like jQuery) surely supports that.
Also, you can look at their code...:

Question about optimizing packages int Makepkg.conf

Note that this is, I'm pretty sure, independent of what architecture your OS is running (32-bit vs 64-bit).
Yeah. What I meant was that if you're running i686 on your Core2Duo it's a Prescott. If you're running x86_64, it's a Nocona.

Question about xmonad package in the repos.

When I
sudo pacman -S xmonad
it installs xmonad and ghc goodness. But one thing that has always bothered me is that I had to hunt down a default .xmonad/xmonad.hs config file for xmonad. Can anyone explain why the package doesn't come with a default configuration file?

xmonad's "default config" is no config. i believe the file you want is buried somewhere in /usr under a different name. if you poke around xmonad.org you can find the path/name to that file but also a copy/pastable (albeit older) version of it.
i think it's done this way b/c the tweaking method is different with xmonad. it's not like editing /etc/xmonad.hs and putting it in ~, you actually /load/ the defaults into ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs and then /override/ them with your changes. this is done with a simple main function like this:
main = do
xmonad $ defaultConfig
and whatever's between { } (explicit commands or calling of functions) is passed through the defaultConfig, picking up any settings not yet set, then fed to xmonad.
so unlike other WMs where you copy a default config and edit it from there. in xmonad, you load the default config into yours with $ defaultConfig and put your tweaks (and only your tweaks) in xmonad.hs. bit of a change in thinking.
/edit: yes Xyne, i second Ashren. it's a wonderful WM and haskell's awesome. my xmonad.hs is available in my sig if you want it, i'm fairly proud of it.
