Where to put .bashrc additions in a PKGBUILD?

Hello everybody,
I'm creating my first package for AUR. After installation the package needs some changes in .bashrc in order to work.
Where is the best place to do these changes?
Of course I could it in any function of the PKGBUILD. But I think this would brake some conventions, wouldnt it?
Thank you.

This is the way to go, if you want to upload it to the AUR. The majority of users will hate you for everything else.

Even the JRE package only informs you about a possibly missing PATH item. In my opinion, pacman has no business altering anything on the user side.

  • Architecture question...where to put the code

    Newbie here, so please be gentle and explicit (no detail is
    too much to give or insulting to me).
    I'm hoping one of you architecture/design gurus can help me
    with this. I am trying to use good principals of design and not
    have code scattered all over the place and also use OO as much as
    possible. Therefore I would appreciate very much some advice on
    best practices/good design for the following situation.
    On my main timeline I have a frame where I instantiate all my
    objects. These objects refer to movieClips and textFields etc. that
    are on a content frame on that timeline. I have all the
    instantiation code in a function called initialize() which I call
    from the content frame. All this works just fine. One of the
    objects on the content frame is a movieClip which I allow the user
    to go forward and backward in using some navigation controls.
    Again, the object that manages all that is instantiated on the main
    timeline in the initialize() function and works fine too. So here's
    my question. I would like to add some interactive objects on some
    of the frames of the movieClip I allow the user to navigate forward
    and backward in (lets call it NavClip) . For example on frame 1 I
    might have a button, on frame 2 and 3 nothing, on frame 4 maybe a
    clip I allow the user to drag around etc. So I thought I would add
    a layer to NavClip where I will have key frames and put the various
    interactive assets on the appropriate key frames. So now I don't
    know where to put the code that instantiates these objects (i.e.
    the objects that know how to deal with the events and such for each
    of these interactive assets). I tried putting the code on my main
    timeline, but realized that I can't address the interactive assets
    until the NavClip is on the frame that holds the particular asset.
    I'm trying not to sprinkle code all over the place, so what do I
    do? I thought I might be able to address the assets by just
    providing a name for the asset and not a reference to the asset
    itself, and then address the asset that way (i.e.
    NavClip["interactive_mc"] instead of NavClip.interactive_mc), but
    then I thought that's not good since I think there is no type
    checking when you use the NavClip["interactive_mc"] form.
    I hope I'm not being too dim a bulb on this and have missed
    something really obvious. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
    me use a best practice.

    1. First of all, the code should be:
    var myDraggable:Draggable=new Draggable(myClip_mc);
    myDraggable.initDrag();
    Where initDrag() is defined in the Draggable class. When you
    start coding functions on the timeline... that's asking for
    problems.
    >>Do I wind up with another object each time this
    function is called
    Well, no, but. That would totally depend on the code in the
    (Draggable) class. Let's say you would have a private static var
    counter (private static, so a class property instead of an instance
    property) and you would increment that counter using a
    setInterval(). The second time you enter the frame and create a new
    Draggable object... the counter starts at the last value of the
    'old' object. So, you don't get another object with your function
    literal but you still end up with a faulty program. And the same
    goes for listener objects that are not removed, tweens that are
    running and so on.
    The destroy() method in a custom class (=object, I can't
    stress that enough...) needs to do the cleanup, removing anything
    you don't need anymore.
    2. if myDraggable != undefined
    You shouldn't be using that, period. If you don't need the
    asset anymore, delete it using the destroy() method. Again, if you
    want to make sure only one instance of a custom object is alive,
    use the Singleton design pattern. To elaborate on inheritance:
    define the Draggable class (class Draggable extends MovieClip) and
    connect it to the myClip_mc using the linkage identifier in the
    library). In the Draggable class you can define a function unOnLoad
    (an event fired when myClip_mc is removed using
    myClip_mc.removeMovieClip()...) and do the cleanup there.
    3. A destroy() method performs a cleanup of any assets we
    don't need anymore to make sure we don't end up with all kinds of
    stuff hanging around in the memory. When you extend the MovieClip
    Class you can (additionally) use the onUnLoad event. And with the
    code you posted, no it wouldn't delete the myClip_mc unless you
    program it to do so.

  • Where to put Concurrent Manager?

    Hello,
    We are currently running our production EBS (11.5.10.2) as a 2-Tier system on 32 bit Red Hat Linux. We have Web, Forms, Discoverer running on one server and Concurrent Manager, Admin and Database running on another. We will be upgrading the database server to RAC and would like to change to 64 bit.
    Also we will be running multiple app servers using shared appl top. Since we cannot leave the Concurrent Manager on the database server once it is 64 bit how to best decide where to put the Concurrent Manager?
    I know a couple of options are:
    1) Run the Concurrent Manager on a standalone server (no redundancy).
    2) Run the Concurrent Manager on 2 standalone servers using Parallel Concurrent Processing (provide redundancy but increase costs/maintenance).
    3) Run the Concurrent Manager on the same servers as the Web, Forms, Discoverer using shared appl top.
    I'm leaning towards option 3 but would like to hear others opinions. Could we still use PCP in this scenario? Any reasons not to do # 3?
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    How many servers will you be running?I believe we have 4 total available for the Application Tier. They are fairly robust servers (HP DL-580 (4 CPU each) with 24 Gig of RAM).
    I have not seen PCP with Shared APPL_TOP. If you are running multiple Web, Forms, Discoverer servers, it is a good option to run them with their own APPL_TOP and run PCP with hardware based load balancing. Can we just skip PCP and run the 4 servers with Shared APPL_TOP but include everything on the Shared APPL_TOP (Web, Forms, Discoverer, Concurrent Manager)?
    I'm trying to do these upgrades in phases and I'm thinking maybe we can get 2 additional servers later and implement PCP then (keeping the 4 Apps servers for Web, Forms, Discoverer).
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

  • I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

    Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
    Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
    Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
    iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

  • My computer screen keeps going blank and then going back to the box where I put my password in to start my comp. Why is this happening?

    My computer (Macbook) was working fine this am. I left it for an hour and then came back and the screen was black (always does that as the screensaver hardly ever works). I moved the mouse to wake it up and everything was normal. I went to adjust the volume and the screen went blank and the main page with the box where I put my password in when I first start my comp appeared. I put my password in and everything was normal again. I opened a window in Safari and before it loaded completely the same thing happened, the screen went blank and went back to the password box. Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't have an external hard drive or any blank flash drives so I can't back anything up right now and am afraid I'm going to lose everything. Thank you

  • I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it.

    I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it. All of the files are going into the same zip file but I want them visually in the space that I put them and not at the bottom of the snap to grid folder location they are looking like.  I am trying to  drag and drop files in groups so that I can group them for now, but image files always do their own "sort by" when I drag them from my web pages. Links don't do it though.  I tried resetting the folder, and deleting the DS files. No luck.

  • Where to put javascript code?

    Hello,
    I am trying to set some columns in a list as "read-only" and is using the following code:
    <script type=”text/javascript”>
    function SetReadOnly()
    var elements=document.getElementById(’4_ctl00_ctl00_TextField’);
    elements.readOnly=true;
    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push(“SetReadOnly()”);
    </script>
    But I am not sure where to put the code in. Should I put it in the space in Content Editor Web Part,
    or through a link to a txt file, or in "Edit HTML"? I've tried them but none works.
    Thanks a lot!
    Patrick

    You can try this:
    1) Open your Sharepoint List. Go to List edit view.
    2) On right side of Ribbon you will find "Form Web Parts" option as shown in figure.
    3) Choose your List form which you want to edit.
    4) Now you can add web part in new window.
    5) Add Content Editor Web part.
    6) In content editor web part add the path of your "txt" file in which you have written your script, for eg.
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    <script type=”text/javascript”>
    function SetReadOnly()
    var elements=document.getElementById('4_ctl00_ctl00_TextField');
    elements.readOnly=true;
    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("SetReadOnly()");
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    I haven't tried this method so I am not sure but hope it works...:D

  • Where to put the commit in the FORALL BULK COLLECT LOOP

    Hi,

    Bulk collect normally used with large data sets. If you have less dataset such as 1000-2000 records then you canot get such a performance improvent using bulk collect.(Please see oracle documents for this)
    When you update records Oracle acquire exclusive lock for that. So if you use commit inside the loop then it will process number of records defined by limit parameter at ones and then commit those changes.
    That will release all locks acquired by Oracle and also teh memory used to keep those uncommited transactions.
    If you use commit outside the loop,
    Just assume that you insert 100,000 records, all those records will store in oracle memory and it will affect all other users performance as well.
    Further more if you update 100,000 records then it will hold exclusive lock for all 100,000 records addtion to the usage of the oracle memory.
    I am using this for telco application which we process over 30 million complex records (one row has 234 columns).
    When we work with large data sets we do not depends with the oracle basic rollback function. because when you keep records without commit itb uses oracle memory and badly slowdown all other processes.Hi mc****,
    What a load of dangerous and inaccurate rubbish to be telling a new Oracle developer. Commit processing should be driven by the logical unit of a transaction. This should hold true whether that transaction involves a few rows or millions. If, and only if, the transaction is so large that it affects the size constraints of the database resources, in particular, rollback or redo space, then you can consider breaking that transaction up to smaller transactions.
    Why is frequent committing undesirable I hear you ask?
    First of all it is hugely wasteful of rollback or redo space. This is because while the database is capable of locking at a row level, redo is written at a block level, which means that if you update, delete or insert a million rows and commit after each individual statement, then that is a million blocks that need to go into redo. As many of these rows will be in the same block, if you instead do these as one transaction, then the same block in redo can be transacted upon, making the operation more efficient. True, locks will be held for longer, but if this is new data being done in batches then users will rarely be inconvenienced. If locking is a problem then I would suggest that you should be looking at how you are doing your processing.
    Secondly, committing brings into play one of the major serialization points in the database, log sync. When a transaction is committed, the log buffer needs to be written to disc. This occurs serially for multiple commits. Each commit has to wait until the commit before has completed. This becomes even more of a bottleneck if you are using Data Guard in SYNC mode, as the commit cycle does not complete until the remote log is notified as written.
    This then brings us two rules of thumb that will always lead a developer in the right direction.
    1. Commit as infrequently as possible, usually at the logical unit of a transaction
    2. When building transactions, first of all seek to do it using straight SQL (CTAS, insert select, update where etc). If this can't be easily achieved, then use PL/SQL bulk operations.

  • 10g UIX Where to put ResourceBundle?

    I'm looking at putting all my Strings in a ResourceBundle for my UIX pages. I've read the documentation for Internationalization, but I think the piece that I'm missing is where to put the properties file. Say I've got a file called 'strings.properties', and my provider looks like this:
    <provider>
         <data name="bundle" >
              <bundle class="strings.properties" />
         </data>
    </provider>Then where in the JDev project do I need to have the file in order for it to get deployed properly and found by the UIX framework at runtime?
    Also, just to be sure I'm not going crazy, I know that the documentation and even the bundle tag say to specify a Class, and I just noticed that the ResourceBundle javadoc also says that the 'baseName' parameter to the static 'getBundle' method should be a 'fully qualified class name', but I've always just given it a filename of a properties file before. So I'm assuming that the 'class' parameter to the bundle tag can be a properties filename -- is this correct?

    Whoops! Of course, the argument to the bundle class attribute should just be 'strings'.
    After some experimentation, I discovered that if I put the properties file at the root of the 'src' directory in my JDev project, then it gets transferred to the 'classes' output directory when I compile. This works for running my project in the Embedded OC4J. I haven't tried deploying it to any other app server yet. Is this the right place?

  • JUnit, where to put my unit test

    Hi all,
    I have a question regarding unit test.
    I am working on a project which has multiple packages. I need to unit test every package using JUnit. One question I have is where to put my unit test. The options are:
    1. Write unit test as a separate package. This makes the code clear but only the public functions get tested or I have to make all functions public.
    2. Write unit test in the same package of the code to be tested. This makes writing test easier but putting test and code together makes the structure dirty.
    Please let me know your opinion and tell me how do you normally do this?
    Many thanks,
    Regards,
    Kevin

    It sounds like you're probably a beginner, so this might be overkill, but here goes anyway: You might want to investigate Maven, which defines a standard directory structure that includes a test tree separate from the production tree, but yet still in the same overall folder. The beauty of this design is that you can keep both production & test code together in source control, IDE projects, etc. but they don't interfere with each other.
    Even if you don't use Maven now, you might want to consider using their standard directory structure, as it is has stood the test of time, & would facilitate using Maven if you ever decide to in the future.
