Re: [arch-general] ssh mutt etc problem

2010-10-18 Thread Daniel J Griffiths (Ghost1227)
I'd have to check, but if there was a soname bump on the last update, things
might not be linked correctly. Does recompiling the affected programs help?

Re: [arch-general] Colorized Output Listing

2010-08-19 Thread Daniel J Griffiths (Ghost1227)
for root, you need to create it yourself. it will be created for users you
add to the system however. if you do create one for root, you'll have to
create a .bash_profile file as well that sources it for it to actually work
automagically on login.

It's been discussed before and rejected. If you want to know reasons and

Hopefully as much cleanup as possible, similar to what I've been
trying to do with community recently. Additionally, I've been working
on patching the dbscripts and such... Basically, I'm up for anything
that advances the distro :P


Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] devtools and db-scripts plans

2010-02-05 Thread Daniel J Griffiths (Ghost1227)



  - allow db-move to handle multiple packages
(or add a script to help moving from community-testing)
 

We should kill these testing2whatever scripts and unify it completely in
db-move (including the testing2x case where the right repository is
automatically determined). Short-term it would probably suffice to
create community-testing2community.
   
Ask and ye shall receive. Attached is a patch db-move that incorporates 
the ability to handle multiple packages and cleans up the whitespaces. I 
know the whitespace patch should technically be separate but I had such 
a hard time reading db-move when I was editing it that I had to include 
it for my own sanity. Note: my patch hasn't been tested beyond echoing 
output to the screen... but it should work.
