If i understand how mirrorbrain works, using it could be also the
solution for half-updated mirrors breaking things (I recall people had
problems with the libpng/libjpeg rebuilds where moved out of testing a
while ago, so much that someone pushed in AUR the old versions of
those libraries). Not half bad.

Hi all,

I have made a todo list with old [core] packages at
http://www.archlinux.org/todo/69/

Not that this is not meant as a simple rebuild but more a review of
packages that haven't been touched for some time. I have listed some
things we want to check on the todo page. If you know anything else let
me know.

Ionut pointed out that libnl has been bumped to version 2.0 in trunk
which was not compatible with networkmanager in the end. So trunk should
be overwritten by core at first here

Greetings,

Pierre

About the namcap thing, the examples I posted yesterday show that
elfutils links with libraries which are not specified in dependencies
(zlib, bzip2, xz), so that should probably also be fixed.

As an FYI, there is a list here that various people have been working
through:

Please don't... At best these should be optdepends but really they are
not necessary at all.

Hi,

I have created a todo list for all packages in [core] that have not
been signed yet. This is especially useful for packages that barely
receive upstream updates. This is also a good chance to clean up older
PKGBUILDs: https://www.archlinux.org/todo/107/ see for a short
checklist.

And due to recent incidents: if you like to rebuild a package of an
(active) developer please contact him first if it's not an obvious
trivial rebuild. And whatever you do please don't change the layout of
the PKGBUILD but use what ever is there. E.g. don't exchange tabs to
spaces for indention etc.

There is no need to hurry though. So let's start with old packages and
or those with no or an inactive devs.

For those who are interested here are the current repo stats:

packages percentage
total 10247
pooled 9208 89.8600%
xz 9907 96.6800%
gzip 340 3.3100%
signed 4609 44.9700%

Pierre

Hello,

when i understand correctly so give it Gentoo Packages with can installed.
Where can find this packages? Because i has clean my Netbook now from Sabayon
and have installed Gentoo directly. But build Libreoffice need much time, so
where better to find a package? Is there a chance or must built from sources?


Thanks & Regards
Silvio

Hi Silvio,
I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking where you
can get a pre-built 'package'? I.e. - Gentoo builds from source code
but you don't want to build libreoffice from source so you want a
pre-built version?

If that's your question then the generic answer is that Gentoo does
not supply pre-built packages. That said there are a few packages that
are supplied prebuilt and libreoffice is one of them. emerge
libreoffice-bin.

If that's not the answer you are looking for then ask again.

HTH,
Mark

Yes thats was the question. Sorry for my english. Yes so i accept to build
all from source, but Libreoffice from source on a Atom need not hours, need
days.

Only hours, but quite a lot of them. About 16 IIRC.
