One line per a URL. And is still compatible for CRUX. Like I did say earlier . sed -i -e "s|http://dl.sourceforge.net|http://downloads.sourceforge.net|g" /usr/ports/*/*/Pkgfile Problem solved for sourceforge. PS you emailed me directly when I am on the ML. Regards, Danny

Some ports
by Martin Kopta 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hello, I tried CRUX this morning and I spent whole day plaing with it. I am using Archlinux for about five years, but I must admit, CRUX is even simpler and more straightforward. Do like. However, I missed some packages, so I made them. http://martin.kopta.eu/crux/pkgs/ abook.tar - address book for mutt tree.tar - simple hierarchy listing webkit.tar - rendering library, I needed that for 'surf' from suckless.org enchant.tar - needed by webkit (spellchecker from abiword) libsoup.tar - needed by webkit (gnome http thingy) icu.tar - needed by webkit Also, I found few packages that won't build right now. I made two patches. http://martin.kopta.eu/crux/patches/ gnupg.footprint.patch - seems like upstream "invisible" change w3m.Pkgfile.patch - common problem with SF Best regards, Martin Kopta

Nevermind then. It was fun anyway :-) Best regards, Martin Kopta

Hi, I'm announcing the second release candidate of CRUX 2.7 (rc1 got lost due to cosmic rays). Preliminary release notes are available here: http://crux.nu/Main/ReleaseNotes2-7, and the ISO itself is available on our mirrors: http://crux.nu/Main/Download Please report problems if you find them :) Regards, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

OSS-QM project / meta-distro for QM
by Enrico Weigelt 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi folks, I'd like to bundle the QM works of various distros into one projects (called "oss-qm project"), so that individual distros can easily share their changes and get notified automatically about the other's changes. The optimal way, IMHO, would be if everyone would use git repos (instead of separate text-based patches) and always rebases their releases ontop of the recent upstream tags, and push their stuff into a central repository. Here's a little paper on that: http://www.metux.de/download/oss-qm-project-2010050101.pdf For crux linux, I'd imagine the following approach: #1: make direct git-fetches possible (my pubgit.metux.de server also provides tarball download, but I can't guarantee persistent md5sums, since tar+bzip2 might not always produce equal output in equal input for all future) #2: step by step moving source trees (with the patches applied) into git repos, as described by the paper and let the Pkginfo just fetch the proper refs (eg. refs/tags/CRUX.$package-$version) instead of uncompressing and patching the tarballs. #3: step by step move the yet separately shipped extra files (eg. additional manpages, but maybe also init scripts etc) into git changes. #4: alway do sourcetree changes in generic, distro-independent ways (eg. not hardcoding pathes, instead adding new configure options for them) At the end of this process, Pkginfo files would only state the git repo+ref and a few build commands, nothing more. What do you think about this ? cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt(a)metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------

RFC: Rules for distro-friendly packages
by Enrico Weigelt 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi folks, I've written down several rules which upstream packages (IMHO) should comply to make distro maintainer's life much easier. (especially when it comes to things like crosscompiling) http://www.metux.de/index.php/de/component/content/article/57.html I'd like to hear your oppinions about it. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt(a)metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
