You know, you can flag packages out of date instead of posting this stuff on the forum...

I don't know about flag packages thing..
Only using pacman -S or -Suy or -Sd, if i have to do, i am using "./configure --prefix=/home/user && make && make install" instead of pkg-flag.
Post this message to alarm to the package maintainer..

www.archlinux.org

search for the package there, and click to flag it out of date. if it's already flagged, it will say so. flagging it alerts the maintainer.

instead of using ./configure, make, make install, please, for your own sake, read up on the ABS, Arch Build System.

Re: Guile-1.8.0 released

Thanks for your patient.
But really habit doesn't change easily..

BTW, here is small tip to install nvidia-installer for Arch
At console(init 3),

sudo bash
cd /usr/X11R6
rm -rf lib
ln -s /usr/lib/xorg lib
./<path>/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-<version>-pkg1.run

PS:
What if compile-time is faster (almost or little slower)than automatic-time?

ehh?? why would you need to do that? just edit the existing PKGBUILD's and makepkg.

that demonstrates a clear lack of understanding of how ABS works, you still havnt looked at it! You're just being stubborn now.

With the amount of customising you do, you'd love and embrace ABS if you bothered to take the two minutes it would take to look at it, try it, and use it.

Because next time, i just hit the ./NVIDIA-*.run
It plain faster than edit something.

Of course not sure, until i have used the ABS something.

PS: i have custom linux kernel(weekly)

so ./NVIDIA-*.run is quicker than 'makepkg -fi'  ?

except makepkg -fi, is better, as it's under the control of the package manager, and it's always the same command to update.

and once i finish the script im working on, it'll just be 'update-modules'

For nvidia-installer, it remove installed-previous-version automatically, when i hit the "sudo ./NV<Tab>"
So it doesn't need package manager at all for NV<Tab>

When i need package manager, i use paco, pacman is just for maintain existen packages.

./configure && make && sudo paco -lD make install

to remove

sudo gpaco

I guess ABS can't predict when every packages updated.

Re: Guile-1.8.0 released

user, um, maybe actually look at something I've linked you to or posted in this thread.

I find it amusing how you can so easily entirely ignore abs, despite the fact it is just the thing you would love to use, and would save you a helluva lot of time and trouble. What you're doing is working around it, and acheiving exactly the same thing.

Re: Guile-1.8.0 released

About guile 1.8.0: yes, I know it is released for a long time, and no, I won't update it:
- I haven't seen software requiring this release yet
- Not all packages in the repositories work with guile 1.8

As long as both conditions are true, I won't update it.
