oh, ok! thant you for this important info bark_bark_bark! what is then the way to locally create a package and install it (I need this package because all my pointers in the web are in the user data of it; this is the reason why I did try at last to use slitaz since version 12.12.1, because if I would have continued to use the now obsolete 12.12, I would not preserve my contact with the actual version of ArcPup...

I don't remember how to do it, but you need Arch to do it. I haven't used Arch Linux in a long time.

oui wrote:what is then the way to locally create a package and install it

any of these packages here can be installed using yaourt

almost 40,000 of them.

oh, thank you very much and I will try it immediately! I leave for that the forum now! bye!

hm

it is really not easy to use such AUR packages as yaourt is not preinstalled and no valid AUR depos. is written in /etc/pacman.d/mirrolist

pacman refuses to install yaourt because one dependency is missing.

pacman doesn't "see" the founded repository added as:

Server = http://arm.konnichi.com/2012/12/01/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

in mirrorlist.

so that yaourt doesn't work! nothing to do more

oui,

delete: out of your mirrorlist file

edit the file /etc/pacman.conf and add archlinuxfr in under community so it looks like this:
save the file and do a:
also sfs_load the archdev-12.12.sfs

let's see how that works out.

Hi Stifiling,

Thank you!

Hm, the installation of yaourt didn't end with success...
And it seems to me, not to be the ideal way as it needs itself dependencies making automatic ArchPup bigger for user remastering ArchPup.

I would propose that you or sigmarl generate a new archdev-12.12.2.sfs where yaourt and a short help file for use of archpup as well as a new more adequate /etc/pacman.conf with links to really good AUR depositories would be immediately included, so that in Arch sciences non experimented user as I can start as easily as it is easy to use ArchPup itself

Hi oui,

you don't need yaourt to install packages from AUR, just load archdev sfs it already has packer inside; and type Also you cant include AUR in /etc/pacman.conf because it is not packages repository.
It contains only build scripts called PKGBUILD and you build packages for yourself.
I hope this is clear.

Hi simargl et al,

my first encounter with AUR ended in failure: what directory it is refering to and how do I put PKGBUILD there?

Looks like something is wrong with eeepc-linux tarball from AUR, tar reports it as wrong format.
Try downloading manually from http://aur.archlinux.org
Edit:
Here is modified PKGBUILD, first load kernel source sfs
then extract this archive and from that folder run Worked for me but I'm using kernel 3.7.2, so will not upload package
Please report results

Downloading the kernel source now.
Is this the final step - and it will be installed?

It didn't work.

anikin wrote:It didn't work.

Code: Select all

[root@archpup eeepc-linux]# makepkg --asroot
==> ERROR: Cannot find the strip binary required for object file stripping.
[root@archpup eeepc-linux]# 

download the archdev-12.12.sfs to the folder /mnt/home

and load it with sfs handler. then try 'makepkg --asroot'

the strip binary and all the compiling tools are in the archdev-12.12.sfs

Still no joy.

anikin wrote:Still no joy.

also download and load the file linux-3.6.8-12.12.sfs

after it's loaded...do:
and try the 'makepkg --asroot' once again

After you install package with pacman -U pkgname, type to load module. Is it working?

simargl wrote:Is it working?

Not yet.

Hm.. for me it compiled in seconds, must be those wrong links - that is only change I made
in this newer kernel. Did you try stifiling's advice:

anikin,

do: and then try makepkg --asroot

almost there
