[Yi Zheng via arch-general]

Hi, Evangelos

   in the source tree of 'gn' package, the emacs mode scripts has been
added in misc/emacs/gn-mode.el

Could you please add  that mode into the gn release package in ArchLinux ?

Could you please fixup that defect?

[arch-general] Fwd: cscope fixup for emacs 27.1

[Yi Zheng via arch-general]

Hi,

   cscope released with contrib emacs plugin  xcscope.el
It uses emacs-lisp function process-kill-without-query, which is
removed in emacs-27.1
I cloned the git repo of
cscope(git://git.code.sf.net/p/cscope/cscope), and add an fixup.
but it seems that the upstream is long not been updated.

do u think we should add that patch into our archlinux pkg ?

I do have tested that fixup, and it works(as in the old times)
the patch is attached.

[arch-general] tzdata, about dir /usr/share/zoneinfo-leaps

[Yi Zheng via arch-general]

Hi, all

I found that there is a 'new' dir  /usr/share/zoneinfo-leaps
It includes files almost the same ones in /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/

I checked the md5 of every files under those two dir. And found that
they are the same ones.

The only exception is /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/US/Pacific-New, which
has no counterpart under zoneinfo-leaps.

ls cmd told me that Pacific-New is a hard link  to Pacific, Los_Angeles.

[arch-general] about ecryptfs-utils, openssl supporting should be added ?

[Yi Zheng via arch-general]

why not add '--enable-openssl' into the configure options?

Does it support OpenSSL now?

Re: [arch-general] Dual boot Arch with Windows 10

[Yi Zheng via arch-general]

create a USB-Key, install extlinux onto it.  In extlinux.conf, you can
provide kernel cmdline, with root=UUID=xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx
In that way, you can boot your archlinux(and any other linux) from USB, and
using your main HDD(partition) as the rootfs.

Note, every time you update the kernel, you must copy the updated vmliuz +
initramfs.img into you USB disk.

That is not a LIVE USB-Key, it just an bootable kernel + initramfs. Not a
completed OS.


May be help.
