Texlive-type1cm package on arch?

Hello, I have a problem with latex rendering on ipython/pylab and filed a bug report here.
It was closed with the comment I should install the texlive-type1cm package.
I didn't find this a package in the official repositories or the AUR, but there are several texlive-* packages present.
Which of those will provide the desired functionality?

haansn08 wrote:Installing texlive-latexextra did indeed work - but I don't see how you figured that out by looking at the error message.
The error message specified exactly which file was missing "type1cm.sty". `pkgfile` - as shown in my last post - indicated which package that file belongs to.
haansn08 wrote:Also I thought pacman would install those dependencies for me - or at least tell me that there is an optional package that provides something I want.
When would it have the chance? Pacman wasn't running when you wrote or tried to compile that document. Pacman will install dependencies of the packages you tell it to install, but the package in question is not a dependency of anything you have installed. As for telling you that there is a package that provides something you want, how is it supposed to know what you want?

Debtap - A script to convert .deb packages to Arch Linux packages

I wrote this script in my free time to help people who, for any reason, want to convert a .deb to an Arch Linux package. It works in a similar way with alien (which converts .deb packages to .rpm packages and vice versa), but, unlike alien, it is focused on accuracy of conversion, trying to translate Debian/Ubuntu packages names to the correct Arch Linux packages names and store them in the dependencies fields of the .PKGINFO metadata in the final package. In other words, it won't only create an Arch package with the data of the original .deb package, but also it will try to create a valid and as accurate as possible .PKGINFO metadata file in the converted package. It uses pkgfile and pacman utilities to achieve this accuracy. The final package can be installed like any local Arch Linux package. Debtap is now available on AUR!
FAQ
Q: What "debtap" stands for?
A: DEB To Arch (Linux) Package
Q: Isn't better to download an official package or write a PKGBUILD in case I need to compile a package or convert a .deb package to an Arch Linux package?
A: Sure it is, and I truely encourage you to do so. Debtap was written to create packages that either cannot be compiled (closed source packages) or cannot be built from AUR for various reasons (error during compiling or unavailable files), as a quick 'n' dirty solution and an extra option for creating Arch Linux packages for Arch Linux users.
Q: So debtap will help me only in case I need to convert specific .deb packages to Arch Linux packages?
A: No. In case you need to write a new PKGBUILD for a package that already exists in the Debian/Ubuntu distributions, by converting its .deb package to Arch package with debtap, thanks to the packages names translator function inside the script, it can help you determine which dependencies are needed for the package you write the PKGBUILD for and complete the necessary fields.
Q: What are the minimum requirements to run this script?
A: You need to have installed these dependencies: bash, binutils (provides ar utility for extracting .deb package), pkgfile, and fakeroot. You must run at least once (preferably recently) "debtap -u" to create/update pkgfile and debtap database (you do this with root privileges).
Q: Debtap needs a lot of time to convert a package. So, why this is happening?
A: Like I said, debtap is focused on accuracy. It won't just unpack a .deb package and then repackage its data to an Arch Linux package, ignoring metadata. Depending on the speed of your processor and the package itself, conversion can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
Q: During conversion I get several warning messages, why?
A: Debtap cannot be 100% accurate for several reasons, the main reason for this is the complexity of packages names. If you want to check the freshly generated .PKGINFO and .INSTALL (this is optional file) metadata files or even fix the untranslated packages names inside .PKGINFO, debtap offers you the option to edit these files before compressing the final package.
Q: How do I use debtap?
A: The syntax is quite simple actually: debtap [option] package_filename
For example: debtap world-of-goo-demo_1.0_i386.deb
Any recommendations or questions for debtap are welcomed!

List of packages with arch-specific patches

Considering moving over from Fedora, having just learned about how many Fedora-specific patches are in their repositories. (Installing vanilla glibc from source bricks my Fedora 22 installs, without incorporating the Fedora-specific patches - which was easy to do, but prefer not to...)
I'd much prefer to run cleaner vanilla packages, particularly so I can install from svn/git source to fix bugs I run into before they're released.
Hoping there is a list (or an easy way to get a list) of the packages that arch has put arch-specific patches into. i.e. Installing through pacman will be a modified version from the actual upstream release of that version. Totally OK to answer my question outside the context of AUR, because I suspect the list grows when including that.
Linux From Scratch has a list of what patches are required for their system. It's bash, bc memory leak, bzip2, coreutils, glibc, kbd backspace, mpfr, readline, and sysvinit. (Beyond Linux From Scratch has a lot more, and its "list" is visible at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/ )
Hoping there's a (short) list like that for arch as well. Partially so if I'm installing unreleased source, I know whether I need to incorporate the arch-specific patches (like building my own package for packman) rather than just make install.

I don't think you'll ever need to install unreleased sources as they end up in testing pretty quick. Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System for tips how to modify the official packages.
As for the list, it's pretty easy to construct. The following is a list of core-packages that have .patch files included in their repo, with the number representing the number of patches:
for f in packages/*/repos/core-x86_64/*.patch; do f=${f#packages/}; echo ${f%%/*} ; done|sort|uniq -c|sort -rn

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*

Development packages in Arch [SOLVED]

Hi all,
I need some development packages to build some programs, but I cannot seem to find them in Arch. I was wondering if anyone knew if they existed.
Examples are:
freetype2-devel
libjpeg-devel
xorg-x11-devel
Obviously if you ignore the -devel part, I can almost always find every single package in Arch. For example freetype and libjpeg and xorg are here, but their -devel counterparts are missing. As these are required to build packages, and Arch sometimes requires us to do so, how can they be missing?
Thanks

I just missed your post! Was about to come here and thank you for the solution
Cheers miqorz

Palaver speech recognition app packaged for Arch

Palaver (formerly Ubuntu-Speech-Recognition), has been packaged for Arch:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/palaver-git/
The git repo is located here:
https://github.com/JamezQ/Palaver
A great video demo of what is possible can be found here:
http://www.techdrivein.com/2013/02/ubun … -demo.html
This is shaping up to be an interesting project, and as long as it keeps on a good development track, could become the Siri of Linux (don't laugh, it could!)
The current code is beta, and will be going through restructuring changes as it moves from git to launchpad, so expect a lot of changes in the near future.
The beta can actually do quite a lot at the moment, especially if you add your own dictionary (which is very easy to do BTW).
Oh, and just a warning regarding privacy, the application uses Googles speech recognition, and requires a network connection to work. Your voice command is recorded locally and deciphered on Google servers.......
Cheers.

Oh well. Aside from the privacy concerns* I am also disappointed that it is just a wrapper around a web service. A local speech recognition engine would be even more impressive.
Thanks for the privacy warning.
* Seriously, sending speech samples to Google so that they can store and analyse them is crazy to me. Do you really want to live in a future of interactive advertisements that can identify you by voice alone and associate it with everything else that you have ever done online? A conversation with a friend at a bus stop may one day trigger targeted ads that reveal things about you that you consider private. I do not understand how so many people can be completely ok with having their private lives catalogued for companies and governments just to get some non-essential services in return. Beyond that having such tools lying around when your government eventually becomes oppressive will ensure its longevity at everyone's expense. Open, democratic societies have an unpatched memory leak that requires a hard reboot every so often.
I completely understand, and while a local engine would be teriffic, the only one I can think of on Linux with any potential is sphinx. Unfortunately, (last time I checked) it's not in an easily useable state, yet. I should check out the pace of development on that project. Of course, I would be delighted to be proven wrong on this project.
And while this in no way is intended to dispell any privacy concerns, or justify any possible motives of the companies providing online deciphering, I am guessing this is exactly whar Siri does on Apple products. Also, as Palaver is currently targeting Ubuntu (while still being agnostic enough to easily work on any distro), It needs to have a small footprint considering the push at Ubuntu towards mobile devices. Unfortunately, mobile devices do not lend to local storage of the many samples in multiple languages required to perform the deciphering.
Cheers.
[EDIT] While Palaver is a wrapper around an online service, the wrapper is limited to sending the voice sample and getting a string of text back, the application performs the task of deciphering the meaning of the text and taking the appropriate action based on local dictionaries and plugins.[/EDIT]

Pip2Arch - PyPi packages to Arch PKGBUILDs

Pip2Arch is a simple tool to convert PyPi packages (the python equivalent of CPAN) into Arch PKGBUILDS.
You can get the code here: https://github.com/bluepeppers/pip2arch
Run
pip2arch.py --help
for help, usage should be simple enough.
Currently does not track dependencies, due to a problem with PyPi(?). Patches very welcome.
I use pip2arch for django servers, where I want to use obscure django packages that are not usually in the aur, but don't want to write a PKGBUILD for them. Using pip2arch, I just have to pay attention to the dependencies.
Thanks,
Laurie

Outdated packages and arch-etiquette

I have a question about arch-etiquette. I looked froward an answer around, but did not find it.
If one or more apps in the repos are out-of-date from a lot if time (a couple of months), have been already flagged as out-of-date, but nobody seems to care, is it wise and polite to email directly the maintainer? Or is it a rude behaviour I should avoid, since any maintainer has a well-established priorities list?
In this specific case, the apps I care about are xchat and moc (maintained by the same person), but I would like to know how I should behave in any other analogous situation.
Thanks for any tip.

Would it be possible, in the future (possible) integration with AUR, to have a list of comments to each package in the official repos?
The comments should be editable only by the maintainers, if there's something to tell about that package (or users start sending out-of-date mails). The webpage is a good place to put such comments because the web interface is the only place these notifications can be sent from. Also, it might be a good place to display install comments (the ones in post_install for example).
This way communication problems as the ones described above might be avoided.

Hi Hassan,
Well i would like to quote one more point here, although you can import a buss pack into the portal but there are some std methods to be followed for every thing in portal, When it comes to deploying a busines package, you should always do it from SDM only !! although we can use import facility. now let me tell you the difference between the two. When you use import, you are just putting the contents into the portal and not deploying it, where as using SDM you deploy the SCA files on your portal totally. you must be knowing that business packages are always delivered in SCA formats.

Ameya

Any plans on bringing Dream Desktop packages to Arch

I was doing some online surfing and ran across this project for KDE live wallpapers. They had a clip posted on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHGovxtzfDs
I see the dev has slackware packages no source code and its supposedly wrote for kde 4.9
http://www.santyago.pl/blog/read/2012/0 … sktop.html
Anyone planning to porting over to Arch? Looks pretty bad ass imo. This would really set off my Arch desktop. As much as I like it, I wouldn't jump ship for it lol

E17 has animated wallpapers.
lorenzo111, if you really want this, make a PKGBUILD and upload it to AUR and share with us.
If you can't make a PKGBUILD, make a request for one in AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests.

Help needed: making a psptoolchain package for arch

Hi....
I'm very new to archlinux (now using it for 3 weeks), but I really like it
Now I tried to make a archlinux package for the psptoolchain (PSP's are so nice )
I already got a working package for the psp-gcc and the psp-binutils (wrote my own PKGBUILD's) which came with the psptoolchain.
But now I got stuck with psp-newlib and pspsdk.
At the moment I'm building all the packages separately, but later I'll try to make one package for the whole psptoolchain....
So here comes my problem with psp-newlib and pspsdk...
psp-gcc -march=i686 -O2 -pipe -G0 -Wall -I../../src/base -I../../src/kernel -c sceAtrac3plus.S
sceAtrac3plus.S:0: error: bad value (i686) for -march

And here comes my PKGBUILD for psp-newlib:
# Contributor: [email protected]
pkgname=newlib
pkgver=1.13.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="GCC for psp-devel"
url="http://ps2dev.org/psp/Tools/Toolchain/"

build() {
export PSPDEV="/usr/local/pspdev"
export PATH="$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin"
cp $startdir/newlib-1.13.0.patch /$startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
cat newlib-1.13.0.patch | patch -p1
cd /$startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
BUILDDIR="/tmp/pspdev" PSPDEV="/usr/local/pspdev" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pspdev --target=psp
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
I know, using newlib as pkgname is bad, but later I'll change it to psp-newlib and I'll replace the $pkgname's with newlib (I hope this idea isn't too bad)
One last thing: psp-binutils and psp-gcc are installed in "/usr/local/pspdev"
I hope you can help me
thanks, and have a nice day
XazZ

After a long break I decided to work on the PKGBUILD again.
Now I got two PKGBUILD's: one for the psptoolchain and one for pspsdk (pspsdk gets updated very often, so I decided to create an extra PKGBUILD).
I'm not sure if my PKGBUILD's fit the PKGBUILD-standard
First thing before I post my PKGBUILD's: I'm not finished with adding all required fields (as license and so on)!

Some explanation: I've used this one very often: --prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr/local/pspdev
Explanation: When I wanted to create only one PKGBUILD for the psptoolchain, some dependences were in $startdir/pkg. If you take --prefix=/usr/local/pspdev he won't get some depencies (mostly header files), which means I had to create single PKGBUILD's for every part of the psptoolchain (that would be 6 single parts).
Those --prefix-changes don't stop my psp environment from working! (tested it myself - I comiled almos all sample apps which were included in the pspsdk - and all compiled well)
I hope we can find a better solution than mine.
Thanks in advance

Building Debian / RPM packages in arch

Hello
I recently installed the Arch linux. planning to migrate all my works to arch
I'm working on a program. It should be installed on all major linux distros. So i would like to create debian and rpm packages. I'm looking for a way to avoid installing ubuntu/debian via virtualbox to generate packages.
Is there a way to do that in arch? There is no dpkg in repos of course :-/

Thank you

[No need]Reducing number of post-install packages (fresh Arch + XFCE)

Hi,
I am inspired by posts by slithery in post-install package count; his discussion here and my willingness to follow-foot steps. Need suggestions/tips what packages can be removed based on details below.
1. Defining usage:
Normal PC having XFCE, thunderbird, firefox, yaourt and wine (for MS-Office with 32bit libs unfortunately needed for work) with 64-bit stock kernel. Other utilities include eog (image viewer), PDF viewer, cups, simple-scan, hplip + hplip plugin, dvd burner and some fonts packages.
I have attempted to remain native on XFCE while installing utilities/needs to avoid unnecessary dependencies unless some functionality needed (such as eog).
2. Current package count
[archpc ~]$ pacman -Qe | wc -l
143
[archpc ~]$ pacman -Q | wc -l
539

5. Packages removable IMO
More could be possible based on suggestions, but IMHO and is it safe?:
|Package Name | Reason |
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------
|man-db 2.7.1-1 | For me: Wiki, Google and Forums are > what I need. |
|man-pages 3.81-1 | For me: Wiki, Google and Forums are > what I need. |
|xterm | xfce4-terminal is installed so is it needed? |
|reiserfsprogs | No need for reiser FS support (if it is what package does). |
|jfsutils | No need for JFS support. |
|xfsprogs | No need for XFS support. |
|lvm2 | I think no need for logical VM (but not sure). |

BDF / PCF fonts ... packages for Arch ... fonts.alias

I tried to build the SGI-fonts for linux:
they are provided as Source-RPM that contain a cpio.gz that contain a tar (named tar.gz, but is only a tar) that contain the fonts --- this is all no problem, if you write a crazy build()
my PKGBUILD is:
# Contributor: Damir Perisa <[email protected]>
# rpmunpack needed to build
pkgname=sgi-fonts
pkgver=1.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Fonts from the SGI ProPack for Linux"
url="http://oss.sgi.com/projects/sgi_propack/"
depends=('xfree86')
conflicts=()
backup=()
install=sgi.install
source=(ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/sgilinux-combined/download/sgipropack1.4/MNT-INSTALL/SGI/SRPMS/$pkgname-1.0-1.src.rpm)
build() {
cd $startdir/src
rpmunpack sgi-fonts-1.0-1.src.rpm
gzip -dc sgi-fonts-1.0-1.cpio.gz | cpio -i
tar -xvvf sgi-fonts.tar.gz # this is actually a NOT gziped tar!
cd sgi-fonts/sgi
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
cp *bdf $startdir/pkg/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
# and the needed font-aliases ... to be appended later in sgi.install
cp fonts.alias $startdir/pkg/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias.sgi
the sgi.install:
# arg 1: the new package version
post_install() {
cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias.backup.sgi-install
cat /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias.sgi >> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
fc-cache
# arg 1: the new package version
# arg 2: the old package version
post_upgrade() {
fc-cache
# arg 1: the old package version
pre_remove() {
cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias.backup.sgi-install /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
fc-cache
op=$1
shift
$op $*
pacman -A sgi-fonts-1.0-1.pkg.tar.gz will correctly work BUT
if you have 2 packages with fonts A and B, and you install A and then B and then remove A, it will restore fonts.alias as it were before installing A and B ... you loose the aliases for B!
-> so the way i tried with SGI-fonts is OK, if you have only one fonts-package for archlinux, but i hope that there will be at least one more, so my way to solve this is not so good
i'm interested in a general way to install additional fonts (BDF or PCF, not TTF!) to the misc-folder of fonts --- how can we painless modify fonts.alias from the install-script of the fonts-package while installation?
any ideas?

I don't find find it weird as the thread was indeed unanswered. It was just an old thread and you didn't noticed the date. This happens occasionnally.

Texlive-type1cm package on arch?
