[arch-general] Moving qgis from [community] into the AUR.

QWT was bumped to 6.0 and qgis is currently incompatible with the new version. In order to update qwt, we will have to drop qgis into the aur. I have looked into patching qgis to be compatible with qwt 6. I managed to get an initial patch accepted, but there is a lot more work to be done, on code

[arch-general] usb webcam no audio

I haven't been able to get audio on my webcam for a while. My initial guess is that it has to do with all of the udev changes. I'm using gnome w/ pulseaudio. The audio properties show the device on the input tab, but it doesn't detect any activity. everything.log: Jul 21 23:54:08 newguy kerne

[arch-general] PKGBUILD.proto improvements

i wanted to share a couple of loose thoughts on the standard practices for PKGBUILDs ... specifically development ones ... with an immediate focus on git ones (for this instance, but applies to any) awhile back i tried to make a super cheap way of doing git checkouts for builds: https://bbs.archl

[arch-general] makepkg and its dependencies, how to create a good build chroot?

For a while now I've been using some scripts to handle the details for creating build chroots, updating them, and triggering builds in them. It's all part of my work with building Haskell packages for Arch. To create a chroot I used this line: mkarchroot -f -C ${pacman_conf} \ -M /usr
