[arch-general] [PATCH] gdisk patches
Hi List,
Below a patch wich fixes two bugs in the gdisk package. They have been
submitted uptream but not yet been accepted. The first bug fixed is that
partition attributes are read/stored backwards. The second bug fixed is that
when changing an undefined attribute no longer junk is displayed.
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but i sent to this list mainly because
there is no official gpt fdisk list afai could find. Now this patch has a place
on the net.
Cheers!
Greetings/Groetjes
Mark Pustjens

[arch-general] [Tool] rebuildorder.py: determines rebuild order of a list of packages.
Hi List, Based on the rebuildorder script by Allen McRae (1) I've written a script which determines, given a list of packages, the order in which they should be built. A package x that depend on package y is always below y on the list, for any package y x depends on. This script can also include the makedeps of a package in the list. That is, if a package x has a makedepend on y, y is added to the list as well, before x and after any dependencies it may have. When you find a bug, let me know. Have fun with it.

[arch-general] [patch] AIF, discover repos on iso.
Hi List,
The attached patch fixes a TODO in lib-pacman of aif.
Instead of hardcoding that `core' is always available locally and falling
back to net for others, it now checks /src/ for repos.
It assumes repos are stored at /src/$repo/pkg/. All these repos are added
as cache dirs.
While preparing pacman, a number of repo names are provided to be
prepared.
All those repos which were requested are added as actual repo. If this
repo is available locally, the url points to disk. Otherwise it falls back
to the mirrorlist.
Please let me know what you think.
Greetings/Groetjes
Mark Pustjens

Currently there's five machines permanently networked here. They *all*
contain the serious core stuff. A couple of the machines are pensioned off
486s, with little other value now. Plus there's two Jaz drives in the
building and the portable also carries a fair amount of stuff. Plus every
Friday a man comes around and carves all the new stuff onto stone slabs and
buries them in the garden... I think I'm okay.

[arch-general] [patch] AIF, partition table compatibility with grub2.

Greetings/Groetjes Mark Pustjens Hi! man sfdisk: -D or --DOS For DOS-compatibility: waste a little space. (More precisely: if a partition cannot contain sector 0, e.g. because that is the MBR of the device, or contains the partition table of an extended partition, then sfdisk would make it start the next sector. However, when this option is given it skips to the start of the next track, wasting for example 33 sectors (in case of 34 sectors/track), just like certain versions of DOS do.) Certain Disk Managers and boot loaders (such as OSBS, but not LILO or the OS/2 Boot Manager) also live in this empty space, so maybe you want this option if you use one. I don't really see the point. this wastes some disk space to be compatible with old, past-legacy bootloaders and OS'es. why exactly would we want this? some cases ? The disc space wasted is about 32K, not realy something to be sad about. I used the term `some cases', as I do not know what cases these are exactly. I have only encountered one so far. I was installing arch in a VirtualBox machine. Then I wanted to install grub2 (and grub2-gfx). They complained they could not install properly, unless I chose to use (depreciated) so-called `block lists'. As it turns out, in my case the part of the bootloader which is normally installed in the MBR was too big. Using the -D flag of sfdisk a little extra space was left so this part of the bootloader did fit. As you can understand, grub2 cannot be called legacy. Dieter Greetings/Groetjes Mark Pustjens
