Re: [arch-general] Tiny webserver to run as root
Hi, I had a look at the 3.x version awhttpd. Select based(fast), small, cgi scripts(fork based). Unfortunately this version is not maintained anymore since the team moved on to 4.0 (heavy integration of a scheme interpreter). 3.x is entirely ANSI C. However, an even smaller version of the same codebase was used to implement the webserver within the axtls project. This one comes with an optional ssl support. Also just ANSI C. HTH, -T
Re: [arch-general] usable browser?
Don't jump to conclusions here. Inspecting the headers in th HTTP transfer exposes that the may send gzip content without setting a proper content-encoding. That might be cause by inproper caching setup on their side(they use squid) And the result they send is different from request to request: First try in midori failed. First curl -i returns gzip answer second curl -i returns html answer Second try on midori works So any conclusion that other browsers just work and webkit doesn't is based on assumptions -T PS: Have another example which page might not work in webkit?

Re: [arch-general] preferred laptops.
Notebooks so far: Twinhead R15D: centrino, 1.86GHz, Intel 915, 1Gig Ram - everything worked nicely out of the box Thinkpad T400: Intel X4100, 3G Ram: Actually it's a dual graphic but I never really tried to get the ATI running. It's set to use the integrated in the BIOS and that works smoothely. BT, WiFi(Intel5300), Suspend, Hibernate, Resume all work out of the box. Netbook HP 2140: All works great and out of the box. While the commercial Broadcom drivers are annoying, they actually work. Oh and I can't get the lid to trigger events, so suspend and resumer are just wired to the keys and buttons, which really is a minor issue. That being said, I always buy hardware specifically to work under Linux which means avoiding to depend on commercial drivers where ever I can. -T

Re: [arch-general] Netbook recommendations
Well, I dunno what's best these days, I'm more interested in what works. I got a HP2140, as business netbook on the pricier side, but with the 5105 released the 2140 should be available for cheaper somewhere. I paid $700 CAD but that includes taxes, our beloved you just pay that because you are in Canada premium etc. so in the States that would have been a bit cheaper. And I got highres screen(1366x768, not really necessary I'd say now but nice), also the 6 cell battery, ugly (sticks out) but runs about ~6h. The aluminium casing and the keyboard were the main reasons I got it, but your needs may vary there. Archlinux on it: I kept XP on a 20GB partition, need it to update camera firmware. I installed from USB stick which worked out of the box after i shrank the XP partition. Need broadcom-wl from AUR, works flawlessly, even with N routers. Bluetooth works, I got a mouse running with it. XFCE works nicely, my guess is pretty much every desktop would do it. I have the compositor running, xfwm with shadows, but no wobble effects or anything else. Laptop-mode-tools are installed as well. As far as I can tell I have all hardware working without any problems. here are some excerpts from my rc.local: echo -n 'ondemand' /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor echo -n 'ondemand' /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor echo 5 /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode echo 0 /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog echo 1 /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save echo 1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_smt_power_savings echo 1500 /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/autosuspend; do echo 1 $i; done echo min_power /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy echo min_power /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/link_power_management_policy echo min_power /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/link_power_management_policy echo min_power /sys/class/scsi_host/host3/link_power_management_policy echo min_power /sys/class/scsi_host/host4/link_power_management_policy echo min_power /sys/class/scsi_host/host5/link_power_management_policy hcitool hci0 down -T

Re: [arch-general] vim 7.2.245-1
There is a /usr/share/vim folder and inside of it /plugin, /vim72 and /vimfiles I tried to copy my files from ~/.vim to all of that places and nothing worked. Don't know what to try else. We try to be more compliant with upstream vim: the out of the box path consists of /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after and /usr/share/vim/vim72, where the vimfiles/after one is the more desireable to use because it does not contain version information. The plugins bundled with Archlinux now use /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after and they have been recompiled for that. The whole point of that was, that we never ever have to set the runtimepath again. HTH, -Tobias

At least, it doesn't seem valid to use the after dir as a general rule. That might actually be the case, that we put them into plugin instead of after. And AFAIR that works out of the box as well. -T

Re: [arch-general] New path for vim plugins
Hi guys, sorry for lacking the announcement ... but I guess that's why it is still in testing. The vimcurrent symlink was modelled after debian's behaviour. Turns out that's a necessary as a third tit. Vim actually automatically akak out of the box checks /usr/share/vim/vimfiles as part of the runtimepath. When doing the last update I forgot to remove the explicit runtimepath from archlinux.vim. Newer versions of vim/gvim will NOT set anyruntime path anymore and instead rely on the above provided path. All updates to plugins shall go streight there. This is becuase it is provided by vanilla vim layout. We don't need to tamper with nothing here. -T

Re: [arch-general] Location of Vim files...

Re: [arch-general] Location of Vim files...
Not really, I was aiming for a vimcurrent symlink like debian but taht was opposed as there seems to be another standard location. Hopefully I will have another and maybe final vim in teesting by the weekend and once that is done there will be some documentation(probably in the wiki) but certainly some notes in vim's PKGBUILD. -T: Ah, thanks for that. I thought testing might have already moved into extra by now. Is the _current_ location documented somewhere so that maintainers can find out where to install vim files from upstream (e.g. mercurial)?

Looking at other distros it seems using /usr/share/vim/vimX is the place for system-wide configurations. Not saying that's right or wrong. Well, I tied up quite a few requests into the new vim packages. Becuase we serve the runtime files with one package(vim) and have other packages(gvim) depend on it, I used to set the runtime path explicitely. Users told me that causes vim to search always in two pathes(the explicite one AND the default one). Hence I started toi stick with the default path, which is /usr/share/vim/vimxy. That means all plugins need to be rebuild and some users that set fixed pathes in .vimrc will have to adjust. -T
Re: [arch-general] vi/vim/gvim without ruby support
Allan, the ruby in testing as of 3 days ago. That would be 1.8 I think. we can build gvim(the only one with ruby enabled) without ruby support for the time being. I don't think that many people actually script vim with ruby and there aren't all that many ruby-vim scripts out there. Now I can be wrong, but I think it's only fair to NOT let gvim stall the ruby packages. Once we have ruby 1.9* support in vim we enable it again. No big deal. As for the OP: vim is a symlink to vim-normal because upon installation of gvim it becomes a symlink to vim-full (more powerful, better script support, etc ... all the bells and whistles) where gvim will be a symlink to the same binary it just automatically invokes it with GUI support. That's just how vim works. -T On Sat, 09 May 2009, Allan McRae wrote: Kessia 'even' Pinheiro wrote: Hi all, Tobias, i`m without a machine, so, i can`t check the vim version.
