Re: [arch-general] Please update boost from [extra] - PKGBUILD attached

2009-11-27 Thread K. Piche
I was waiting for 1.41 to come out since I knew it would be soon.  I
didn't want to rebuild everything for 1.40 only to have the new version
released the next day.

The current version 9.6.1.P1-1 in extra corrects the issue.

I've already fixed the PKGBUILD so that the next release will comply.

Do you have a udev rule for it?  Like:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7421",
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0781", SYMLINK+="sansa", GROUP="storage"

The SYMLINK or GROUP could be something else.

I have a i586 file/print server.  I even have a mini i386 port but it's
not much fun to use.  :)  However I'm not interested in running an
official i586 port since the packages are stripped down for file
serving/printing - as in no X and no optional libraries.

Are you using kernel 2.6 for the VIA port?
