[arch-general] Is it a bug ? (device-mapper PKGBUILD)
Hi ,
I was looking at the device-mapper PKGBUILD . I'm not sure but the last
line looks problematic :
# fix device-mapper link bug
ln -sf /lib/libdevmapper.so ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/libdevmapper.so || return 1
What If device-mapper is not yet installed in the system ?
What am I missing ?

if i understand it correctly, build() just builds the package. only
when you pacman -U it will you execute those commands (in sequence).
therefore, the make and install steps are exectuted before the symlink
is created.

There will be a symlink in /usr/lib/libdevmapper.so that links
to /lib/libdevmapper.so, whether this file exists or not. When the
package is installed, this file exists because it is included inside the
package.
aha .
Lesson of the day : We can link non-existing files .
Thank you for the clarification .

There's no documentation about pppoe in ppp either. rp-pppoe helps me make my ADSL connection easily.

This is not a bug, it's a limitation in the gecko engine and its embedding. I guess it will go away when epiphany switches to webkit.

[arch-general] modprobe changes
I am getting a message on boot that I need to change the modules line in rc.conf to the new way which is to put the conf file into modprobe.d. Is there any info on this? I have some modules I want to blacklist and some to load. Is the format the same as modprobe.conf? ( I presume ) I take it I can just add a file like this net-pf-10.conf that contains blacklist net-pf-10 Is that right ?

( I presume ) I take it I can just add a file like this net-pf-10.conf that contains blacklist net-pf-10 I think you're mistaken. Our modprobe doesn't have any message of the sort, relating to Arch. The error you are seeing is due to a change in the way modprobe parses config files. It used to read /etc/modprobe.conf and/or /etc/modprobe.d/* - now it only reads /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf The message is modprobe telling you something is wrong with the config files. Most likely you just have a .pacsav file in /etc/modprobe.d/

[arch-general] New Page added to wiki - Add_New_Partitions_To_Existing_System
Listmates, After running out of room on my / partition on my Archlinux install and recovering by adding a couple of additional partitions, I put together a little howto in the wiki concerning the process in case anyone else finds themselves in the same situation: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Add_New_Partitions_To_Existing_System As always, writing it up for the wiki took a whole lot longer than fixing the original problem, but now it's done. Look it over, add to it, find all my typos, etc.. Hopefully it will be useful. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
