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.

Code:
yaourt -S icecat

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:

Quote:
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 Mad

oui,

delete:
Code:
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

out of your mirrorlist file

edit the file /etc/pacman.conf and add archlinuxfr in under community so it looks like this:

Code:
[community]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch


save the file and do a:

Code:
pacman -Syy yaourt
yaourt -S icecat


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 Idea

Hi oui,

you don't need yaourt to install packages from AUR, just load archdev sfs it already has packer inside; and type
Code:
packer -S icecat


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:
Code:
[root@archpup ~]# packer -S eeepc-linux

Aur Targets    (1): eeepc-linux

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y
tar: This does not look like a tar archive

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
No PKGBUILD found in directory.
[root@archpup ~]#

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
Code:
makepkg --asroot

Worked for me but I'm using kernel 3.7.2, so will not upload package
Please report results

Downloading the kernel source now.
Code:
makepkg --asroot

Is this the final step - and it will be installed?

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

Code:
ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.6.8 /lib/modules/3.6.8/build


and try the 'makepkg --asroot' once again
