I have done major improvements to my repo, including:
-a snowman.db.tar.gz file
-newer versions of packages
-new packages
-less messy PKGBUILD

EDIT: New location

To use them with pacman, put:

[snowman]
Server=http://snowman123.freefronthost.com/

in your pacman.conf file.

To browse them:

Any comments would be welcomed.

I tried scilab, but it didn't work. I got the following errors:

/usr/bin/scilab: line 32: /home/eric/Packages/scilab/pkg/usr/lib/scilab-3.0/pvm3/lib/pvmgetarch: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/scilab: line 47: /home/eric/Packages/scilab/pkg/usr/lib/scilab-3.0/bin/scilex: No such file or directory

So I think the actual error is in line 16 of the script (I changed the variable SCI to /usr/lib/scilab-3.0).

The help browser (dialog 'help'->'help browser') doesn't work either: The 'scilab progression bar' window stops while 'parsing help files' and in the 'scilex' window there's the error 241 and the file 'whatis.htm' not found/access denied '[...]at line 12 of function rescan_helps called by:[...]' (and some more output).

Ooops! :oops:

Yes. It's probably the best (easiest) way to correct that error.

I think I forgot to make the help files. It needs more work and testing. I will probably need a few days to fix that.

I have installed scilab, it works perfectly, thanks a lot, but... something bothers me: I can't find the search option in the help window :shock: ??

To search the help, click on Apropos in the help menu.

Snowman · 2005-02-01 17:14:00

I have moved my repo.
Let me know if there is any problems.

Is it working now? Have you retried to dowload the package? It might be temporary. It's a new web host so I don't know much how reliable it is.

No, I just downloaded the PKGBUILD and made the package by myself
Thanks for the job anyways

I just dowloaded the onefinger-core package without any problems.
BTW, I use wget to download the packages instead of pacman's internal dowloader. To do so, in your pacman.conf, put:

XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -t0 -T10 -O %o %u

Snowman · 2005-02-15 06:40:56

Another user had this problem. Strange...

BTW, you can also download the packages from http://snowman123.freefronthost.com/ and install it with

pacman -A

or

pacman -U

Snowman · 2005-02-15 16:28:45

I found out the problem. Most of my packages got corrupted when I changed host. I will need to re-upload them.

WaFuSan · 2005-02-15 16:38:25

That would be nice indeed ^^
Thanks to your packages, I had the most simple scilab installation ever !
(nothing to compare with the home compilation and the strange dependencies problems I had with my MEPIS *chills*)

Snowman · 2005-02-16 05:25:56

Unfortunately, my free web host don't allow file size bigger than 500 kB. I'll need to change host. I found a few free hosts without file size limit but it could take some time before everything is set up. Meanwhile, the packages can be built from the PKGBUILD.

qwerty · 2005-02-17 18:52:39

Hey.. can you add also a WORKING xmame frontend??
I'd appreciate it very much

There is gxmame in staging.

Put

[staging]
Server = [url]ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/tur/staging[/url]

in /etc/pacman.conf
then

pacman -Sy gxmame

[/code]

qwerty · 2005-02-21 11:39:55

I know man... but, as i told u... i need a WORKING one
On staging repository there is the 0.34beta1 that doesn't work with the new xmame... i've just seen on the gxmame page that a new beta version is out, i'm gonna try it...

qwerty · 2005-02-21 14:03:53

0.35beta1 works!!

Snowman · 2005-04-18 20:19:11

Due to:
a) my server problem
b) the new AUR system
I will stop maintaining (and eventually remove) my repo. However, I will transfer the PKGBUILDs to the AUR and continue maintaining them there. I will also use that opportunity to cleanup my repo.

Currently, I have submitted to the AUR:

bobobot
endeavour
kdiff3
sablotron
scilab
smclone-music [new - music for smclone]
sonic-rainbow
xanim
xmille
xmms-volnorm

The following packages will be submitted (unless someone else does it first ) once I update/debug them:

anacron
pysol and depends
koctave3
kpacman
gdl and depends [new - A free IDL (Interactive Data Language) compatible incremental compiler (ie. runs IDL programs)]
moreamp [new - A media player]

The other packages will be removed.

If you would like me to continue maintaining one of these left-out packages, let me know in this thread or pm me. I'll see what I can do.

If you are interested to take over the maintenance of one or more of these left-out packages, feel free to do so. You can use my PKGBUILD as a starting guide. Just post a note to let me know.
