Replace repo package with svn version of the software?

I need a package from the extra repository to be a newer, svn version. Since there is all kind of stuff depending on it and I don't want to mess with dependencies, I thought it would be best to create the same package myself (using svn sources) and then just replace the one from the repo with my own, so that, for pacman, nothing really changes. Please correct me if there are other, more 'arch-style' ways to accomplish the same.
Is there a wiki page that describes the process, or could you please give some hints? I have never created a package myself and I am very unpatient.

Hey graysky. Thanks for answering! Yeah, there is an svn package for the software in question in AUR. But it's rather old (svn r2186, while the svn-repo is at r2478 now and I need the changes from r2452). So I guess my question would be: How do I create my own arch package using the package files from AUR as a starting point? I have never used AUR. Do I just download the PKGBUILD from the AUR, fiddle with it and read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_Packages ? I somehow feel getting closer! Thanks!

AUR policy on packages with no version in the source file name

I know that the AUR policy says that no code must be included with the PKGBUILD if you are not a trusted user. But, how do you deal with packages that do not have their version number in the file name: http://www.somesite.com/someproject.tar.gz instead of http://www.somesite.com/someproject-1.0.tar.gz. The problem is that when ''someproject.tar.gz" gets updated, and it will, your AUR package is broken. The MD5 sums won't match and patches may not apply either. You can get around the MD5 problem by not including a MD5 sum, and the package might install correctly if the patches still apply. However, the package version in the PKGBUILD will not match the version of what it installed on disk.

I have some TeX related packages and it is some kind of politics to not have a pkgver in the filename there. But there are announcements on the certain mailing lists or users complain.
So if the version number is stated in one of the distributed files, I take that. Most of the cases can be solved that way. The remaining cases drag0nl0rd's suggestion is doable.

Using an InCopy package with different versions of the same InDesign file

Hi,
I head up the studio for a London based design agency. We are looking into using InCopy with one of our clients (who will be off-site). In particular this will be working on Annual Reports.
As an example the issue I am coming up against is the following:
So far I imagine that we would have our InDesign file and create an InCopy package of all the stories to send to our client. With the content size of these type of documents it may be several days before we receive anything back. In the time between it is inevitable that we will need to carry out design changes. With our current workflow this would involve saving a new version of the InDesign file. When we receive the original InCopy package back from our client we may be working on a version 1..2..3,etc of the InDdesign layout. BUT the InCopy package wants to link to the original file we made the InCopy package from. Is there a way to link the InCopy package into our new InDesign file.
Many Thanks

You could try renaming the new file with the old name but I don't think
that's that's going to be a recipe for success.
Other than that, you're using a very dangerous workflow. Everything here
is designed to revolve around a single InDesign file with however many
assignments or packages there are.

With all that automatic installations, beware of one thing:
It's up to the administrator of the machine to decide what VM he drives. Maybe there is a good reason for the admin NOT to drive the latest VM from Sun but a slightly older from IBM? It is not YOUR decision what VM runs on that machine.
Keep in mind that the JRE is a wrapper around the actual OS and as such it is not to be included with you app. Just think of it as if it would be an optional OS extension. You also do not deliver Oracle with you app if you just need ANY JDBC connection, do you?
With our customers we do it this way: We tell them that ANY Java 1.4 JRE is good to run our apps, but it is the customer's problem to get one, since we do not know the preferred VMs of that customer, nor could we provide a VM for every OS. For fairness reasons, we provide the latest Sun JRE for Windows, Solaris and LINUX with our app. But we do not start the installation of this.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Error on Data Flow Task MSSQL 2012 Clustered "Description: The version of Lookup is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow. "

We have an SSIS package that runs on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes that is failing. We use a job to executer the package.
Environmental information:
Product - Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise: Core-based Licensing (64-bit)
Operating System - Microsoft Windows NT 6.1 (7601)
Patform - NT x64
Version - MSSQL Version 11.0.3349.0
Package is set to 32 -bit. All permissions verified. Runs in lower environments, same MSSQL version. All environments are clustered. In the failing environment, all nodes are at the same service pack. I have not verified if all
nodes in the failing environment have SSIS installed. Data access is installed. We have other simpler packages that run in this environment, just not this one. Time to ask the community for help!

Thanks in advance.

Hi DeveloperMax,
According to your description, the error occurs when you execute the package with Agent job on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes.
As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by you use SQL Server Agent to schedule a SQL Server Integration Services package in a 64-bit environment. And the SSIS package is referencing some 32-Bit DLL or 32-Bit drivers which are available
only in 32-bit versions, so the job failed.
To fix this issue, we should use the 32-bit version of the DTExec.exe utility to schedule the 64-bit SQL Server Agent to run a package. To run a package in 32-bit mode from a 64-bit version of SQL Server Agent, we can go to the Job Step dialog box, then
select “32 bit runtime” in the Advanced tab.
Besides, we should make sure that SQL Server Integration Services is installed on the failing environment.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

What version of iTunes do you have installed? If you are trying to update to iOS 6 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.

If your phone isn't being recognized by your computer, you need to follow the steps in this article to resolve that
Also, some basic isolation needs to be done. Does it show up in itunes on any other computers? do you have other cords you can test with to see if it might be the cord? if the phone doesn't show up on any computers, it's likely your phone has a hardware issue
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US is the article to use if you want to concentrate on trying to get a particular computer to recognize your phone

Hey guys,
This is the problem. My father just got an iPhone 5. He has a Macbook Pro 2009 with OS X 10.5.8. The iPhone is not compatible with this version since the iTunes is an older version as well. At our local Apple store in my home country, they told him he needs to upgrade (which I agree of) but that the memory of this computer is not enough to hold the newer OS.
Please help, he does not really agree with buying a new computer just because of the versions.
Thank you, I appreciate your help.

This is what I have. Thank you so much rdr4lfe.

Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.
