tmux is broken

From the 2010-08-25 LiveCD, /arch/setup:130 reads:

ans=0

It should read:

ans1=0

This file is needed by a lot of daemons and even glibc looks it up.

You can also split filesystem to got iana-etc, like in arch linux.

All gtk applications stopped working with the new glibc from testing.

I tried rebuilding gtk2, atk and building new applications, like leafpad, but nothing helps.

The gnumach-userleveldrivers package files are conflicting with the files from gnumach.

To solve that problem I added
conflicts=('gnumach')
to the PKGBUILD
A rebuild is needed asap, because that package is already in extra.

The package tcl 8.5.8 does not build.

An error occurs in the unix/tclUnixPort.h file at the line 619.

I tested building it in Arch Linux and it works.

EDIT: It is due to some glibc changes.

hi,
in my archhurd in qemu-kvm...
after some trouble, I start Xorg

- passing to qemu: -vga std
- without xorg.conf

but openbox o twm are very very very slow... keyboard and mouse...
it is unusable

in #hurd suggest to me to apply:
submitted-sysvshm.diff (glibc headers)

thanks

The login prompt is a funny thing in Hurd, you can actually run commands, cat files, etc :P

Executing reboot will run rc.shutdown and print the corresponding messages as if root were there current user. But finally when /sbin/internal_reboot is run it fails because of insufficient privileges.

At the login some kind of *unnamed* guest user is active so whoami fails and the script continues. Using id reveals that the uid is 2^32 (or (unsigned int) -1). The following patch drops the usage of whoami.

diff --git a/rc.shutdown b/rc.shutdown

(the diff avobe has an extra leading space on each line)

There is no gcc-ada package. The problem is that gcc-ada requires itself to build. The cross-compiling required needs to be done when somebody finds the time.

ldconfig is not built by our glibc PKGBUILDs as of now.
Some errors in install scripts that use ldconfig may occur too.
