[arch-general] digikam beta4 and gcc 4.3.0
Hi, first of all I'm out of my depth here so be gentle, I was trying to compile digicam beta4 and the compilation process hangs. I found this thread that describes it: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.digikam.user/7917 the answer in digikam forum was: I have reported this problem to CImg author (David Tschumperlé). After investiguations, he said than all come from an uncompatibilty with gcc 4.3.0 and CImg code. Note than using Gcc 4.2.3 digiKam compile fine. so I asked on CImg forums: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2036591forum_id=423277 and the reply was: Anyway, this is not a bug related to CImg or GREYCstoration, since it compiles fine if you don't set the optimizations with g++ 4.3.0. Also it compiles fine with older versions of g++ (4.2.3 for instance). I suspect some bugs in the compiler optimization procedure which causes the process to hang. I admit this is very annoying, but I can't do anything to solve it, since it is clearly a problem related to the compiler. could somebody take a look at it? What do you think? Cheers waldek

[arch-general] keyboard indicator lights not working
Hello, At some point, the keyboard indicator lights stopped working. I know they aren't broken (and I've even used three separate keyboards). They used to work, but stopped at some point, but I don't remember when. Does anyone have any suggestion for this? Thanks, Scott

[arch-general] filelists for packages
Thanks to Pierre, we have filelists for all packages at
http://dev.archlinux.org/~pierre/test-repo/ [1]
I made a small script which downloads the *gz from his repo
and allows one to find out which package has a particular file:
#!/bin/bash
store=$HOME/.local/share/pac-file # default location
repos=(core extra community)
a=$(uname -m)
url=http://dev.archlinux.org/~pierre/test-repo;
if [ -f $HOME/.config/pac-file.conf ];then
. $HOME/.config/pac-file.conf
fi
case $1 in
sync)
echo synchronising file cache
cd $store
for i in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
do
rm files.db.tar.gz
rm -rf $i; mkdir $i
wget $url/$i/os/$a/files.db.tar.gz
tar zxf files.db.tar.gz -C ./$i
done
echo sync complete.
;;
search)
cd $store
grep -R $2 . | sed s/\.\/\(.*\)\/files:/\1 /g
;;
*)
echo usage: $0 {sync|search}
esac
exit 0
Thanks Pierre!
