[SOLVED] How to download package source files ? they become HTML

Hi. dumb one I'm afraid. I don't want to install ABS.
OK, so I'm not talking about AUR here, rather simply going to:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/
Over on the right under, Package Actions
Source Files / View Changes
I click Source Files, i right click on the list of files amd get html downloaded and not the source files.
I like to build things myself on ocassion.
how to get files without using ABS!?
thank you!

You don't have to check out the whole abs tree:
* https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dw … s_with_ABS
* https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … d_ABS_tree
[karol@black ~]$ sudo abs community/dwm
==> Starting ABS sync...
receiving file list ... done

[karol@black ~]$ du -sh /var/abs/
40K /var/abs/
The installed size of abs package is 120,00 KiB (on my 32-bit Arch).
The files it pulls (e.g. for dwm) are the same you can get manually, so abs is as minimal as it gets.
You call 'under 5 gigs' ultra-minimal. My full (and IMHO a bit bloated) system is about 3 GB.

  • How to download phonegap source code in DW cs6

    im using dreamweaver cs6 and phonegap to develop android, i can download app.apk, but how to download java source file to open project in eclipse? can some expert advise me?

    Just an FYI, nobody uses Table-based layouts anymore.  It's much better to use CSS for layouts.  Only use tables for tabular data like spreadsheets and charts.
    Dreamweaver has a bunch of pre-built CSS Layouts for you to use as starter pages.  Just go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.  Pick a layout from the 3rd panel and hit Create button.  See screenshot below.

  • Software Update Packages - the Package Source files are gone

    I am running SCCM 2012 SP1. Something or someone deleted all my deployment package source files and folders for my software updates. Once I noticed they were gone, I was expecting there to be a simple way to have SCCM reload them from WSUS, since they should
    still be there. However, I see no obvious way to do this in the GUI or from PowerShell. Is there a repair command for deployment packages that have lost their files?

    Indeed, I just tested it in my environment and the real download won't start as long as it thinks that the updates are already downloaded.
    The easiest way download them again is (if they are not all member of the same Software Update Group) temporarily add them to a SUP, delete them all from the deployment package and start the download again for all the updates in the (temporary) SUP.

    I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it.  There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab.  I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted.  It didn't fix the problem.  Any more ideas?

  • I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives.  Later renamed external HDs.  I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive.  I'm not really sure how to get those source files back

    I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives.  Later renamed external HDs.  I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive.  I’m not really sure how to get those source files back and get rid of the extra long path to where the source files are now located. If I re-link files to their current catalog (many different paths to files in same catalog) can I merge (import catalogs) into one master catalog?  Will the new (Master catalog) have the correct link to the source file?  If not, how or can this be done?
    I have tried to explain my situation as clearly as I can.  Do you understand my situation?
    This maybe something you don’t have time to help me with.  If not can you suggest somewhere I can get an answer?  I really need help.  PLEEEZZZ HELP ME.

    I really think 'buying' is the best solution on this one.  Ideally, you would have at least five internal hard drives.

    Use externals and network drive only for backup.

  • How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through J2EE

    How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through J2EE?

    Huh? If you want something like your browser's "view source" command, simply use a URLConnection and read in the data from the URL in question. If the HTML page is instead locally on your machine, use a FileInputStream. There's no magic invovled either way.

  • How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through java?

    How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through java?
    I am coding an application.one module of that application is given below:
    The first part of the application is to connect our application to the existing HTML form.
    This module would make a connection with the HTML page. The HTML page contains the coding for the Form with various elements. The form may be a simple form with one or two fields or a complex one like the form for registering for a new Bank Account or new email account.
    The module will first connect through the HTML page and will fetch the HTML code into a Text File so that the code can be further processed.
    Could any body provide coding hint for that

    You're welcome. How about awarding them duke stars?

  • How to download the big file in SDN

    Hi buddies,
         Do you have any idea how to download the big files in SDN such as NetWeaver CE trial? I cannot download it with download tool, and if I download it by IE, after dowloading for a while, I always get "connection reset" error.
         Hope you can help me.
    YiNing

    Yining,
    There seems to be a few people making comments about problems with downloads.  I myself have never had a problem, but I think that downloading from in Europ isn't a problem.
    I would try and use a tool such as GetRight download manager which picks up the fact that something is downloading and manages that download, so it will be able to restart the download.

  • How to download the application file to local file by back ground job?

    hi:
      can any one tell me how to download the application file to local file by back ground job? thanks in advance..
    Monson

    Hi,
    In order to download a file from application layer to a local file in background,
    first write a report(ZREPORT1) in which do the following steps:
    OPEN DATASET g_file_1 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
    loop the g_file and append all the data into another internal table.
    end of this report you shd have all the data in the application layer file into your internal table.
    Now create another report(ZREPORT2) and submit this report in background.
    that is,
    JOB_OPEN
    JOB_SUBMIT and
    JOB_CLOSE
    and in job_submit submit ZREPORT1 which downloads the file in application layer.
    Please reward points if helpful.
    Regards,
    Arul.

  • [SOLVED] Downloading a source file to a custom file name

    I'm writing a package that applies a patch to rsync. The patch file can be downloaded from the following address:
    http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=rsync-patche … c41d0eb4f3
    I have added this URL to the sources array and makepkg is able to download it, but it is downloaded to a file named ?p=rsync-patches.git;a=blob_plain;f=transliterate.diff;h=75d6dcbda1c17b69c0d754edc7df490074e2fa41;hb=2291d89080c8c06a66e9b01e09a618c41d0eb4f3. This filename is a bit tricky to work with, and I'm guessing not in best practice, as it is not very descriptive.
    Assuming it makes sense to do so, my goal is to download the patch to a file named transliterate.diff. Is there any way to tell makepkg to do this?

    Yes, you can apply patches. Even to diffs ;P
