[arch-general] eric packages renaming

2014-12-28 Thread Evgeniy Alekseev
Hello,

Recently eric-6.0.0 has been released. It is a new major release which 
provides fully python2/python3 support and supports Qt5 interface as well as 
Qt4.

According to these features I plan to push Qt5 version to [community], I have 
contacted with upstream some time ago and they said Qt5 version is stable 
enough. This version will replace old {,python2-}eric packages. But as far as 
there are a lot of Qt4 based applications in our repo, I plan to continue 
maintain Qt4 based eric, but these packages will be renamed to eric-qt4 and 
will be in conflict with Qt5 based eric.

I push these changes to [community-testing] in near future if there are no any 
objections. Then if it will work normally I will move them to [community] 
after two weeks period.

CC'ing to arch-general@ for possible discussion.

If you are looking for mysql bindings you can use python-mysql-connector [1] 
for some cases which supports python2 and python3.

I disabled it by editing $HOME/.kde4/share/config/baloofilerc:

[Basic Settings]
Indexing-Enabled=false

Just open $HOME/.kde4/share/config/baloofilerc and set option 'Indexing-
Enabled' to 'false':

[Basic Settings]
Indexing-Enabled=false

At least it works for me.

You must look into 'man makepkg.conf' not pkgbuild. But it is out-of-date too.
So for these cases there is our mailing lists or Google (the first link in the 
Google [1]).
Some of our wiki paper need to be updated too.

Hi!

Do you have zsh as default shell? If it does, try to change path to the shell 
from /bin/zsh to /usr/bin/zsh. It may also be necessary for bash as default 
shell. I observed a similar error after moving binaries from /bin.
