i started to add package splitting support to pacman today. pacman3/libalpm is not affected, basically makepkg, updatesync and gensync have to me modified. the makepkg part is now ready. here is a sample FrugalBuild:
pkgname=cabextract
pkgver=1.1
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="a program to extract Microsoft Cabinet files"
url="http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php"
depends=('basedep1' 'basedep2')
groups=('apps')
archs=('i686' 'x86_64')
up2date="lynx -dump http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php |grep 'cabextract source code'|tr -s ' '|cut -d ' ' -f 6"
source=(http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/downloads/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
sha1sums=('359c8f4ec9c62d9dac5d572269b607b2cae4fbf7')subpkgs=('cabextract-man' 'cabextract-bin')
subdescs=('manpage for cabextract' 'cabextract binaries')
subdepends=('man foo' 'glibc bar')
subreplaces=('' 'replacebin1 replacebin2')
build()
{
Fbuild
Fsplit $pkgname-man usr/man
Fsplit $pkgname-bin usr/bin
}
to build this you'll need pacman-tools from darcs and pacman from darcs, too

krix and me are working on porting our changes to pacman3. if you're interesed, check out the darcs repo. warning, this is not a working version, it's heavily under development!

it seems that finally we figured out what causes the following weird problem on some mirrors:
io timeout after 300 seconds -- exiting rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(181)reading again man 5 rsyncd.conf:
timeout (...) A good choice for anonymous rsync daemons may be 600 (giving a 10 minute timeout).and yes, adding "timeout = 600" to the relevant module solved the problems :)

during the meantime (you can't always hack the setup :) ) i've figured out how to package firefox extensions. you know why this is usefull: when you have a pc with a big number of users, or where you have a lot of machine. so test packages for adblock and google pagerank status are available
i plan to package sessionsaver and webdeveloper, too
if you have other ideas then post the name and the url of the extension you wish!
(this article served as a base to figure out how this all works)
update: webdeveloper is also available
update2: it seems that session saver and weatherfox does not support system-wide installations...
update3: flashblock and user agent switcher pushed

i always forgot how to grant full access to a db for a normal user in mysql and have to rtfm from time to time. so i post here the magic command, hopefully it’ll be a bit easier to search in the blog archive than rtfm’ing :)

just found an interesting offline theme installer for firefox. dunno if it works with firefox-1.5...
