Flag the package out-of-date, and if you wish, submit an updated PKGBUILD to the maintainer by email (unless you're too lazy for that too). T.

[arch-general] X server reset when I press enter (!!!)
Hi! I'm experimenting a really bad behaviour from the X server, since yesterday night's update, which involved mainly KDE. When I press ENTER, in whichever applications or DM, the X server randomly reset just as I pressed ctrl-alt-backspace! For example, I had to start this email three times, and I have to resist to press the damn key. As I said, this happens in any applications (inkscape, NetBeans, Lyx, xterm, kmail, kwrite, anything), in KDE and FluxBox. I'm running NVIDIA proprietary drivers in a twinview configuration. I'm going to do some testing to isolate better the causes, but in the meantime, does someone of you has a suggestions?

[arch-general] New PKGBUILD for libtorrent-rasterbar
Hey all, libtorrent-rasterbar is pretty out of date (2 months and 2 package versions), so here's a PKGBUILD for the new version. I bumped the pkgver (obviously), added python to the dependency list since we *ARE* building the python bindings... and I set the package to use the system libgeoip/geoip rather than the one bundled in the libtorrent tarball (which is a new configure option in libtorrent-rasterbar 0.14.6). It also checks out fine with namcap (no warnings or errors) and it compiled perfectly on the i686 box I tested it on. Part of the reason i'd like to see this updated is that Deluge 1.2.0_rc1 is out and myself and probably a few other Arch users would like to use it, but it requires libtorrent-rasterbar =0.14.5 . The PKGBUILD is attached, but in case it gets filtered out, here's a pastebin link for it: http://dpaste.com/10/plain/ Thanks in advance for building/uploading, JD PKGBUILD Description: Binary data

The libtorrent-rasterbar.so version was bumped (from libtorrent-rasterbar.so.4 to libtorrent-rasterbar.so.5) and that confuses at the very least Deluge and possibly other clients as well that use the versioned library rather than the plain .so. Perhaps add a symlink in the PKGBUILD to link libtorrent-rasterbar.so.5 to libtorrent-rasterbar.so.4 or libtorrent-rasterbar.so to libtorrent-rasterbar.so.4. That is a bad idea. The soname version changed for a reason. You don't want to give apps expecting version 4 a version 5 library. Instead, all apps that link this library need to be rebuilt.

Re: [arch-general] New PKGBUILD for libtorrent-rasterbar
Ignore the symlinking stuff i said earlier. :P It had that issues because i had the old libtorrent-rasterbar version installed while building the new one and that seems to have confused it. I removed all traces of libtorrent-rasterbar from the system, did a rebuild and everything works fine without any nasty symlinking.

Then I search the forum and tried different things until once it start working again. Few days I didn't touch anything at all. Really didn't have time. I still can't try any other OS here because I spent too much time setting this Arch up and configuring. It's my baby :)) It looks and works beautiful. Except after Syu; but not always. Most of the time things just work... Can't just say goodbye to Arch so easily. But if once it will happen that I really can't fix something, that will be the moment... I guess. Anyway, I'll try to buy another PC and install something else... Remember it well. I was just like that with the first Mandrake server I set up for my office a decade ago. Then you learn that Linux is fairly indestructible and that no matter what config changes happen along the way, a bit of reading of the latest release notes and a bit of tweaking and anything can be brought back to life. As for looking at another OS, it's great to experiment, but I'd be willing to wager that you find your way back to Arch. By far the most current, responsive and cleanest I've found. (I've tried a lot) Updates are going to causes changes in configs, etc. occasionally, that's just progress. One thing that really helps if you are using your linux box in a critical role is to setup another 'testing' box to test updates on and confirm all is well before updating the box you rely on. That will virtually eliminate any downtime. With P4 3.0GHz boxes being excessed for as little as $60 it's cheap insurance. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
