[patch] bash: don't link against obsoloete termcap
by Clemens Koller 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Hi! Well, just in case you have termcap installed, bash will link against it, which is propably not what you want. The attached patch avoids that. ./configure says: --with-curses: This causes bash to be linked against the curses library instead of the default termcap library which is becoming obsolete. -- Clemens Koller __________________________________ R&D Imaging Devices Anagramm GmbH Rupert-Mayer-Straße 45/1 Linhof Werksgelände D-81379 München Tel.089-741518-50 Fax 089-741518-19 http://www.anagramm-technology.com --- Pkgfile.old 2007-05-29 17:24:38.000000000 +0200 +++ Pkgfile 2007-05-29 17:34:00.000000000 +0200 @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ name=bash version=3.2.17 -release=1 +release=2 source=(http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/$name/$name-3.2.tar.gz \ $name-3.2-001-017.patch \ $name-3.2-doc.patch \ @@ -21,7 +21,8 @@ build() { ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --exec-prefix= \ --mandir=/usr/man \ - --disable-nls + --disable-nls \ + --with-curses make -j1 make DESTDIR=$PKG install

handbook - filesystems
by Giorgio Lando 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi, I decided to switch all my systems from Archlinux to CRUX and I am very happy. I would like to suggest a small modification to the Handbook (and, secondly, to the CRUX page in distrowatch). In the 3.2 section of the handbook, the following utterance confused me during installation: "Using ReiserFS is recommended, but there is support for Ext2fs/Ext3fs, XFS and JFS as well". In the CRUX page in distrowatch: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=crux it appears that CRUX supports only two journaled filesystems, i.e. reiserfs and XFS. In the mailing list archives I found that the problem has been discussed in May 2006 and the recommendation of reiserfs was declared by Per Lidén to be a relict of the times where reiserfs was the only journaled filesystem. Nowadays, there is no reason to recommend a journaled filesystem over another and any potential CRUX user should be able to choose the filesystem which is better for his system and which he likes more. Thus I suggest to change the formulation in the handbook to: "CRUX supports all the filesystems supported as root filesystems by the linux kernel: ext2, ext3, JFS, reiserfs, XFS". The indication in distrowatch seems to me just a mistake, since it suggests that one cannot use ext3 or JFS in CRUX. However, I am aware that distrowatch is much less important than the handbook.

xorg-libx11 and gimp
by Hitoshi Satow 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

I'm having an issue with gimp where it crashes when I use the pencil. I found documentation of the problem in a freeBSD forum saying it was an issue with xorg-libx11. They provided a patch. The easiest thing for me was to roll back to the previous version and it seems to be working now. -Hitoshi _________________________________________________________________ http://liveearth.msn.com

rpc.nfsd refuses to start

Hello, I want to export a directory on my crux v2.6.15.6 box, but the nfsd seem to not start. I'm using the /etc/rc.d/nfsserver start command. After issuing, I get this running rpcinfo -p # rpcinfo -p program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100005 1 udp 912 mountd 100005 1 tcp 915 mountd 100005 2 udp 912 mountd 100005 2 tcp 915 mountd 100005 3 udp 912 mountd 100005 3 tcp 915 mountd # I'm getting this in /var/log/messages: Jul 26 18:21:02 crux nfsd[11782]: nfssvc: Function not implemented Regards, Helge Fredriksen

For Tilman: xorg-server bug
by Tom Rindborg 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Sorry to spam the list, but I got a bounce when trying to reach Tilman directly, hope this goes better. OTOH this info might be interesting if others are bitten by the same bug as me. Forwarded message follows: Hi Tilman, I recently upgraded xorg-server to 1.3.0.0, and since I am using the glint driver I was hit by the following bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10906 The driver (and of course xorg-server) crashed and locked up the display hardware. I have compiled xorg-server with the proposed patch, and that solved my problem. I do not know if more drivers are affected, but maybe it is a good idea to update xorg-server anyway? -- Hälsningar/Best regards, Tom ________________________________________________________________________ Tom Rindborg Phone: +46-8-599 984 40 Stockholm, Sweden MailTo:Tom.Rindborg@fatburen.org "If you have to hate, hate gently."

ck4upp - perl implementation of ck4up
by Richard Pöttler 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

hi, fyi: To gain more knowlege about perl, i've written ck4up in perl. Since i was annoyed about the fact, that ck4up was not able to send emails to the port maintainers if something changed, i've added it to ck4upp. So it is possible to setup a conjob on one server which then notifies all maintainers, if needed. There are a view perl ports needed: p5-config-general, p5-lwp and p5-mailtools. All of them are in some repositiries at crux.nu, but if you want to have a unified source, you can use mine [1][2]. "/path/to/ck4upp --help" gives you a short summary of it's options. If you want a longer explanation, you can read the pod of this script (perldoc /path/to/ck4upp should work) ck4upp needs a config file (~/.ck4upp by default) where the packages to check are specified. In short the format is as follows: <portname> checkurl http://ckeck/me mailto notify(a)me.now </portname> The mailto option is voluntary. It is possible, that you have to set the PERL_MAILERS environment variable for sendmail. If you are missing some features, please tell me. bye richi [1] http://www.deri.at/~richardp/ports/ [2] http://www.deri.at/~richardp/ports/namenlos.httpup -- quoting guide: http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/quotingguide.html
