Re: [arch-general] Help - Sound Disappeared -- Really! All modules - Gone?? (kernel bug?)
I'd guess that you have a corrupt filesystem and due to an fsck (or something else) the modules are gone. Try doing a ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko.

I believe we should fix this, as this information is useful when determining when a PKGBUILD was last modified and by whom. May I suggest we do the following: 1) Edit the Adding a package section [1] of the packaging instructions in the DeveloperWiki to include this step. (Adding `svn propset svn:keywords Id new-package/trunk/PKGBUILD' below the $EDITOR line perhaps?) 2) Add this property to all packages (this has been done once before by Aaron, if I remember correctly). What's your view on this? [1] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:HOWTO_Be_A_Packager#Adding_a_package We should do #1. The Id tag should be set when a package is added to the repo. As for option #2, it has already been done. Unless I'm missing something, it has only been done once, on 2008-04-18. Packages added after that point do not have the svn:keywords property set (e.g.: aufs2). Yes, that's what I meant. It was done once on the whole repos when it was moved to svn. Devs and TUs who adds packages need to run the svn propset command to set the Id tag. (Thanks for amending the developer wiki, by the way.) What about SVN autoprops, can't you just attach a pre-made '~/.subversion/config' in the wiki and people can grab it from there. -- Flávio Coutinho da Costa
