Of course you can use the AUR packages, which download the current mesa
git master. What I did was to adapt the PKGBUILD for mesa found in [extra] to
build mesa 7.9 and then copying ${srcdir}/Mesa-7.9/lib/gallium/r300_dri.so to
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/

Whether you want to crreate aur packages or alter provided packages you need to learn about PKGBUILD and the ABS (ArchBuildSystem). Go read the wiki about them - it's really easy and fast forward! -- Gruß, Johannes http://hehejo.de signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: [arch-general] Creation of startup scripts
If you mean bash scripting, this is a good beginner's guide: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide Otherwise you will have to provide some more information on exactly what you want to do.

Is there a technicaly issue that > prevents us from having more updated packages? As packages in AUR are maintained by common users this has not really to do with Arch itself. from a quick view it seems the Maintainer is inactive. If you want to take care of the package write him a mail asking what's the matter and if he can orphan the package if he is no longer interested in them, if there was no reaction after two weeks, write an orphan request to the [aur-general] mailing list. And one of us TUs will orphan it for you. -- Jabber: atsut...@freethoughts.de Blog: http://atsutane.freethoughts.de/ Key: 295AFBF4 FP: 39F8 80E5 0E49 A4D1 1341 E8F9 39E4 F17F 295A FBF4 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Is there a technicaly issue that > prevents us from having more updated packages? > As I'm sure you're aware, the AUR packages depend on their maintainers updating them. I see the packages have been flagged out of date fairly recently, around the 28th of september. Perhaps the maintainer hasn't gotten around to updating them yet. Your next stop should be e-mailing the maintainer, or attempting to upgrade the PKGBUILDS yourself (the do not seem to require complicated adjustments). Concerning the question of support for this on *any* distro: I have no experience with UbuntuOne, sorry.
[arch-general] UbuntuOne
I've noticed that there are some UbuntuOne related packages in aur, but many of them are very out of date. In theory, I'm told that we should be able to get UbuntuOne working under any Linux distro..I was wondering if there was any reason for the current state of the aur packages. Is there a technicaly issue that prevents us from having more updated packages? -- Samir

With the move to python2/python3 you need to add these lines to properly built if testing is enabled: sed -i -e 's#/bin/env python#/bin/env python2#g' \ src/gallium/auxiliary/indices/*.py src/mesa/main/*.py sed -i -e 's#PYTHON2 = python#PYTHON2 = python2#g' \ configs/current sed -i -e 's#python#python2#g' \ src/gallium/auxiliary/Makefile Works for me with r600g ++

[arch-general] some notes on the radeon gallium driver
Hi, just if anyone is interested... I compiled mesa 7.9 and tried the radeon gallium driver on a X300 ati card. It works pretty good. For instance, now I can use the blur effect of kwin 4.5, while I couldn't with classic mesa 7.9 driver. I don't play games, so I cannot tell what is different with games... Maybe we might have an ati-dri package in [testing] that ships r300g instead of r300c... Stefano
