What are the rules for AUR packages that rely on Alien bins [solved]

Hi,
I use ArchLinuxArm and want to create an AUR package that gets binaries from, lets say Fedora ARM, extracts them and modifies the config files in order to make it compatible with the Arch way of Linux. Of course, the PKGBUILD I am going to write will limit installation on the appropriate arcitecture, e.g. armv7h, then.
Is this generally allowed or will my package be deleted after submission to AUR?
Best,
RaumZeit

Personally, I do not see a problem with such packages right now and I expect official supported to be extended in the future, so I am in favor of allowing them.
Packages that install pre-compiled binaries should be distinguished from normal packages with a "-bin" suffix. Such packages are permitted as long as they do not violate applicable licenses.

What are the rules for keeping things running smoothly

As my iMac is now a month old and has been burdened with a number of trials, shareware demo, open source, video tutorials and general clutter; what are the basic rules for keeping things running smoothly? My 'log in' is certainly a lot slower although I don't have any apps loading and finder has become much slower with less spring in it's tail. Are there any caches etc that need dealing with? I'm afraid to say I was a bit of a pro at hammering my windows setups till they came to a stand still and I can't bare to see the Mac going the same way. Have I got to be ruthless and limit the number of apps I have installed? The quality of what is available just on apple.com makes it hard for a software addict to stop downloading Any help or just a reality check would be much appreciated....rob

A good disk utility to empty caches: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
Use Onyx once a week, run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts and that will help speed your Mac up pronto.
Run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) once a week and Repair Disk Permissions:
Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
*Tip... very important: Run Disk Utility BEFORE and AFTER all software updates. That will save you headaches down the road.
You do not need to limit the number of apps installed but one thing to bear in mind. A Mac needs a minimum of 10% available disk space just to boot and it's all too easy fill up a drive and before you know it, you can't open apps, or they open and freeze up, or you can't install software. A good way to keep an eye on available space: Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the black arrow next to: General so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available ... Best best is to always have 15% free drive space.
Back up your important data every day. If you have a system failure and need to either do an Archive and Install or completely wipe the drive and reinstall your system software, you'll be glad you did.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software.

What are the rules for when a Calling VI has be resaved after a subVI is changed?

We are planning on making changes to a driver set. However, if one of our applications has VIs that have to be resaved because of these changes, then we will have to go through an extensive validation process for each application. Therefore, it would be very helpful for us if we knew what changes can be made without the caller VIs needing to be resaved. If a caller VI does need to be resaved, what about it's caller VIs?
For example, I know that adding or deleting a control would require the caller VIs to be resaved. What other rules are there? Sometimes it seems like I did nothing that would change the connector pane, yet the caller VIs have to be resaved (i.e., they get the asterisk). Does anyone have a full list of when VIs need to be resaved when their subVIs are changed?
Thanks,
Tom

First of all, I should emphasize that I'm talking about not making any changes to the VI itself, only changes to the subVI that it's calling. In doing experiments with one VI and one subVI, I get the same explanation each time in the Current Changes field: "VI recompiled." and "SubVI call(s) modified.". Both are pretty generic.
Since no one has so far responded with a list, here is the start of a list:
1. Adding or deleting controls and/or indicators.
2. Changing the label and/or description of a control or indicator.
3. Adding a for loop to the block diagram.
Those are the obvious ones. There are others I could add to the list, but these don't seem to be very consistent. For example:
4. Connecting or disconnecting wires to controls or indicators.
5. Wiring a control to a case statement (a specific example of #4).
In regards to #5, yesterday, in my experimental VI (I've enclosed them), I wired the numeric control to a case statement, then saved the subVI. The calling VI then needed to be resaved. I disconnected the numeric control and wired up the string control to the case statement. Once I saved the subVI, the asterisk appeared on the calling VI. This was very consistent. Now, this morning, I do the same thing, but the calling VI doesn't need to be resaved.
So my question is, when does the calling VI decide it needs to be resaved? Since I haven't made any changes to the connector pane, or to the controls and indicators, why does the calling VI need to be resaved? Why should the calling VI care if a for loop is added to the subVI?
Since the driver I'm working on is called by 15 different drivers, which is called by 20 different application, all of which have been validated, I really don't want to have to revalidate all of these drivers and applications, simply because I went in and fixed a bug in a low-level driver. So any information that helps me to understand what triggers a calling VI to recompile due to a change in a subVI would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

What are the rules for connecting clusters?

Hello,
I am using Labview 8.2 and I am havings difficulty connecting clusters. I have a sub-vi that analyzes data and creates a 24 element cluster that is a output(indicator) that I want to insert into a larger cluster for the main vi. The main vi uses a large cluster so this is a cluster within a large clusrter. I cannot get all of the elements to transfer correctly. so here is what I have done so far to get the data to transfer correctly.
The cluster of the subvi is the same name as the cluster within a cluster of the main vi
Each element of both clusters (the subvi indicator and the cluster in the main vi) has the same element names.
Each element in both clusters are the same data type.
Connecting "cluster to cluster" does not work. The only way I have found to get the data to transfer correctly from the sub vi to the main vi is to use "unbund by name" and "bundle by name" for each of the 24 elements to get the data correctly.
Any ideas why "cluster to cluster" does not work?
Regards,
Kaspar

In addition to the using typedefs I think it is also important to ask your sefl if all of this data SHOULD be in a cluster together. If you are using a very large cluster to contain all of your application's data you are probably putting too many unrelated things together. The more tightly coupled your system is the more difficult it becomes to maintain and reuse code. In addition you can run into both performance and memory issues if your data set is very large. You should try to design your clusters to contain only the necessary data for a given task/module. They should not be viewed as large buckets to simply carry stuff around.

What are the rules for using ILife sound effects, jingles, in video projects?

I used a musical track from my iLife musical library in FCPX and when I posted the video on YouTube it was claimed by a third party. The track is called "Elysium". So are the music and sound libraries free from copyright claim?

That's the rub. Everybody has the impression they can use Apple Loops as if they're open source or public domain... They are so not. They are free from royalties! That's a completely different thing.
You do have the right to use those "jingles" in your video works for free. You do need to give credit to the third party contributors of content you've used in your videos.
I find that placing a credit *in your video* like:
Music: Elysium by Apple, Inc. Used with (or by) permission.
or
Music: Elysium licensed by Apple, Inc.
helps out considerably.
(All of the iLife Jingles are credited to Apple, Inc.)
(You can use any kind of formatting you like for displaying credits -- you can make it an interesting part of your video as done in some higher end movies, etc.)
YouTube needs to cover their a**. Your videos need to have a little professionalism added to them (credits are de rigueur [good etiquette, and expected.]) I'm pretty sure that YouTube puts human eyes on every upload. I place credits at the very beginning and the videos usually "clear" rather quickly.
One of the problems with using "Apple Loops" is that somebody has already beat you to using them. Content matches cover everything. I've had content matches against people who have actually violated the end user agreement for using the loops (there's a clause that basically states that loops shall not be made available to the public in their entirety without modification.) It's okay to use loops in a derivative type setting (something is added to the soundtrack with the music to make it "changed".) [I don't think Apple pushes the point... but others might.]
YouTube doesn't really care what you use. They just need to make sure their liability is zero. Credit everything. Be truthful (you've got to cover your own a** as well.) If you don't have permission to use something... DON'T!
YouTube has an Audio Library of free content you can use (without credit! — but give the credit anyway [professionalism]) in their content Creation Tools section located at the bottom of the left column of your Account pages (Video Manager, Dashboard, etc.) It's a pretty decent selection of music... you should check it out.

What are the Rules for using iTunes outside the US?

I'm a US citizen with a US bank and a US credit card and a US mailing address. The only things that are outside the US are me and my US-purchased Mac.
I understand that I can only use the US iTunes Store while I'm in the US (which is about 3 or 4 times a year).
What about the rest of the time? Is there an official way to purchase additional titles when I'm outside the US?
What does the current contract mean by "agree not to use the APP outside the US"? Is the "APP" iTunes or just the iTunes Store?

I understand all this "can't get there from here" stuff has to do with copyright laws and such but the real world is going to do what it has to do.
This is why I wanted to know what the Official Rules were. iTunes is not currently available in my country of residence so even if I wanted to, I couldn't use the "local store" as there is none.
I had a similar problem with Microsoft Office 365. Can't subscribe from "here" without using a "local" credit card. I do have a local credit card but it can only be used "here". When I tried to subscribe using my "local" credit card on Microsoft's "local" website - my "local" bank denied the charge as the "local" website was actually in the US. VPN solved the problem.

What are the rules for adds on applications made in xcode?

Hello!
Im making an app for iphone and ipad, and I was wondering if there is any kinds of restrictions regarding advertisement on these applications?
Thank you for answers!

A lot depends upon the resolution of the export image as to
how sharp it
will appear. The higher the resolution the sharper your
edges, but the trade
off is file size. The reality is that the highest monitor
resolution is only
the equivilent of 96dpi.
In terms of file types the gif format is best for items like
vector art and
the jpg format is best for photos.

What are the rules for selling old CS software?

Here's my question. My company recently upgraded my software to CS5 from CS4. Obviously this requires the use of the CS4 serial number to validate the upgrade. What I'm wondering is if they can now sell the copy of CS4 once CS5 is installed. Is that legit? Or do you have to keep your unused software around? I've searched all over and can't really find a clear answer on this.

I think Bob is correct.
You should notice a link at the bottom of this page called "EULAs" (for "End-User Licence Agreements"). Section 5 "Updates" says that an Upgrade license requires that if you wish to run previous versions of the product, they must be on the same computer, hence they cannot be resold (separately); "(b) the previous versions or copies thereof are not transferred to another party or device unless all copies [are]."
Your company is bound by this agreement. It's only remotely possible that they have a volume license that overrides this section.

What are the wildcards for FILE_MASK in FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING

The wildcard for exactly 1 character is '?'.
example: with mask ????????.STA     , I get the following files:
BWMDAACW.STA
BWMDAADW.STA
BWMDAAEW.STA
BWMDAAFW.STA
BWMDAAGW.STA
(all files ending with .STA, with 8 characters before .STA)
But what is the wildcard for 'any character' ?
I tried with *.STA     , but the result is
test1
test2
test3
test4
y5c01
(all the filenames with exactly 5 characters)
with *STA, the result is
IBAN
PBCL
rfbi
stxh
stxl
(all the filenames with exactly 4 characters)
(the result is the same with *123 or *XYZ !!!)
with BW*, the result is
BWMDAACW.STA
BWMDAADW.STA
BWMDAAEW.STA
BWMDAAFW.STA
BWMDAAGW.STA
as expected, but * seems the right wild character for 'any character' only at the end of the mask; it seems not work as expected when it is not the last character of the mask.
It seems very strange! What are the rules for wildcards ? (I'm in 4.7)
thanks in advance

Apps that go free & VPP - what are the rules?

What are the procedures for getting Apple to remotely wipe all my data off my ipad that was stolen? I have no hope of recovering it. Please advise asap...thanks!

What are the procedures for getting Apple to wipe the data off my original ipad I bought two years ago. I had it stolen from a hotel room over the weekend and it is not password protected and no I did not download app to find it.
Any hwlp would be greting appreciated!

Apple can't do it, only you could potentially do it if you had enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. As a safety precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

What are the ranges for correct skin tones using RGB%?

What are the ranges for correct skin tones using RGB%? Used to using a scale from 0 to 255. But with LR it's RGB , I know 100% RGB is white. What do you use for %?

While I whole heartedly agree that we should not be constrained to hard and fast numbers for accurate skin tones ... LR does offer an RGB color readout ... I am assuming they made those percentages available for the user to monitor the breakdown of specific color values for a reason ... so we could have an indication of how a specific color in an image will be reproduced ...
I liken this to using a speedometer ... while many experienced drivers in well tuned vehicles can travel on the highway at the prescribed legal speed limit without really monitoring the readout on the dashboard ... however, there are times when they would like to verify the speed at which they are traveling ... the RGB color percentage readout in LR is no different ... just a source of information to verify you are achieving what you desire ...
Again, going by specific numbers in this instance, I believe, could lead to problems ... there may be times when you may desire or actually need to adjust skin tones ... even though a pleasing WB has been achieved ... the relationship of R, G and B can be used to get you there.
From what I have researched and put into practice with LR the following seems to be a good starting point and the data was borrowed from "the pixelation" blog:
R: highest %
G: middle %
B: lowest %
To get a little more specific. In general,
R: Y + (15-20)
G: average of R and B
B: R – (15-20)
For example, the following values represent common Caucasian skin tones using the rules above:
* R: 80%; G: 70%; B: 60%. R is 20 points higher than B, and G is midway between R and B. That’s perfect.
* R: 86%, G: 78%; B: 70% also reflects a nicely balanced skin tone. Again, G is midway between R and B, and R is 16 points higher than B. This, too, illustrates a great relationship among the colors.
