Redmine Branding - Porting #77 (in progress): Change the Parabola's Slogan / Cambiar el slogan de Parabolahttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/772012-04-09T23:50:44Zshackraelcorreo@deshackra.com
<p>Deberíamos de cambiar el eslogan de Parabola para así escapar de las sombras de Arch Linux. Esto es un tema de "Marketing" supongo. Pero tomaremos a Trisquel como un ejemplo, ellos no usan "Una versión libre de Ubuntu" como slogan ¿Por qué entonces nosotros si deberíamos hacerlo?</p>
<p>We should change the slogan of Parabola to scape from the Arch Linux's shadow. This is a "Marketing" issue though. But taking Trisquel as an example, they dont use "A libre version of Ubuntu" as slogan. Why should we do it then?</p> Ports - Bug #74 (open): cannot click on iceweasel and select text on a consolehttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/742012-04-09T10:56:18Zlluvialluvia@singularity.fr
<p>I was using LXDE. Trying Claws-mail, a compiled version of evoultion, lxde terminals and iceweasel.</p>
<p>These errors were shown in tty1, where I launched Xs:</p>
<p>lxpanel...: Gdk-CRITICAL .... 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed.<br />lxpanel...: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL .... 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed.</p>
<p>The result was:</p>
<p>1. I couldn't longer select text in the terminal with the mouse, but i could change between windows/terminals and entering commands.<br />2. Iceweasel didn't answer to anything, only to killall -9. If I launched it again, it was freezed also in the restore tabs initial page, and I had to kill it by terminal again.</p>
<p>I killed X and when I started LXDE again everything was working fine again.</p> Ports - Porting #62 (open): Implement --hash-style=gnu for MIPShttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/622012-04-03T09:44:01Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<p><a class="external" href="http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf">http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf</a> explains the advantages.</p>
<p>The only problem with this known to me is that the MIPS ABI requires a different symbol ordering for an optional (unused?) feature. However, there are many other problems with the ABI which we already ignore:</p>
<ul>
<li>only MIPS I instructions are allowed
* only O32 is allowed
* only big endian is allowed
* we use more precise long doubles
* we use more relocation types</li>
</ul>
<p>Thus no MIPS ABI-compatible program runs here, I don't see a need for requiring compatibility with it (and gcc already has ABI-incompatible options like -march).</p>
<p>Changes in binutils, maybe glibc and maybe gcc are needed for this. Please don't apply patches here without having them committed upstream.</p> Servers - Bug #56 (open): [labs] Support tagging issueshttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/562012-03-29T18:13:00Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<p>From #parabola:<br /><pre>
16:54 < mtjm> fauno: does labs.parabola.nu support tagging of issues?
16:55 < mtjm> so e.g. the how to help page could have a link to a list of all open issues which need MIPS assembly knowledge to fix
16:56 < fauno> mmm maybe with a plugin
16:56 < mtjm> Ruby or C might be a better case

<p>PKGBUILDs have hardcoded URLs of a source mirror, sometimes they are slow, down or use too much bandwidth. If the scripts replaced URLs matching some known patterns to use local or random mirrors instead, this would be much faster e.g. for building most packages using sources packaged by Arch.</p> Ports - Bug #49 (open): Document how to use netcfg with wpa_supplicant and dhclient, or make it w...https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/492012-03-17T22:21:34Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<p>Not having working network makes reporting other bugs harder.</p> Ports - Bug #48 (open): Make the X server work without extra configurationhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/482012-03-17T22:19:12Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<ul>
<li>remove/update all broken modules</li>
<li>install working xf86-video-siliconmotion configuration to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/... with XAA and working dual head</li>
<li>update documentation</li>
</ul> libretools - Bug #46 (in progress): Sourcing PKGBUILDs might change variables usedhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/462012-03-09T20:14:52Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<p>E.g. toru used _repo while a PKGBUILD changed the value of this variable, making fullpkg ignore dependencies from the community repo. There should be another solution which wouldn't lead to difficult to debug problems.</p> Ports - Bug #40 (open): [binutils] no mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu-ld, etchttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/402012-03-07T10:22:13Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<p>GHC's configure script wants to use them. Just adding symlinks will fix this.</p> Packages - Freedom Issue #37 (info needed): sqlite PKGBUILD gets and builds blacklisted documenta...https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/372012-03-04T17:09:55Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<p>Fixed in abslibre-mips64el.</p> Packages - Bug #34 (open): Change packages showing Arch bug report URL or calling the distro Archhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/342012-03-04T14:00:27Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<p>The changes are partially done in abslibre-mips64el, but this is not specific to mips64el. Probably adding an issue tracker for packages should be done before.</p> Packages - Bug #33 (open): [libretools][dbscripts] remove/rename optdepends of packages on upload...https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/332012-03-04T13:56:42Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<p>We have many PKGBUILD changes to rename unrar to ununrar or not list packages not available on mips64el in optdepends. This could be done in a single script processing packages after there are build and calling the script in scripts wrapping makepkg or getting packages from Arch.</p>
<p>The script should log what it does.</p> pacman2pacman - Bug #29 (in progress): Create P2P mirror infrastructurehttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/292012-03-01T18:00:40Zfaunofauno@parabola.nu
<p>P2P is always cool :D</p>
<p>This would include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create .torrent for every package with all parabola mirrors as webseeds</li>
<li>Create a pacman XFerCommand that downloads and seeds packages sending the .torrent files to a torrent client (transmission-daemon or others, and also manages seeding policies)</li>
</ul>
<p>"Seeding policies" meaning upload limit, for how long, etc. transmission-daemon can be configured to seed up until a given ratio or stop after a certain time of inactivity, etc.</p>
<p>Instead of adding all mirrors as webseeds the .torrent creation script could pick three at random...</p> Documentation - Bug #15 (open): Email serverhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/152012-02-27T14:07:27Zfaunofauno@parabola.nu
<p>Document how to setup an email server based on our current configuration</p> Servers - Bug #4 (open): Have a database backup policyhttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/42012-02-15T19:47:32Zmtjmmtjm@mtjm.eu
<p>It's a generally good thing to have and might encourage contributors to use the trackers, not fearing that their changes will be lost.</p>
