  For completeness: I have vim-hg-7.4.179 installed, the PKGBUILD is here:

 I moved my vim config in exactly the same way a few days ago, but I
 use symlinks instead of configuration options.
 
 $ ln -s ~/.config/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
 $ ln -s ~/.config/vim ~/.vim
 
 Works just fine for me.
 
 /Emil

Sure the symlinks work - but that will not help on the quest of cleaning my
$HOME folder and totally kills the reason for moving into ~/.config/

 there is setting of ulimits in systemd, it's much more brutal though, will
 not wait for 30 seconds
 
 man systemd.exec

Thank you; I didn't know about that, and it's very interesting.  The limits are 
indeed a bit 
strict for server process monitoring. I imagine it would be really handy as a 
failsafe in 
embedded environments, though.

The great benefit of them is that (as far as I can tell), it's the kernel that 
enforces the limits, 
so there's no polling involved.  I suppose that the gold standard for 
monitoring would be a 
combination of the two: a userspace component (e.g. systemd or associated 
monitoring 
tool) registering to receive events from the kernel on certain resource 
thresholds for a 
process, so that e.g. time spent above RAM threshold could be monitored 
accurately in an 
event-based way, without polling.  That would be awesome.

Re: [arch-general] Updating the archlinux-keyring package

I do agree with that, i switched on a laptop which was off since september
2013 and i had some issue with some key.

I had to update key, before having a sucessfull update.

 Hi,

 Recently I had to fix a corrupted pacman db from a 3 month old
 livecd
 and realized that this process is not so innocent. Specifically, there is a
 chance to get a trojaned package on the system simply because the
 archlinux-keyring package on the iso is outdated. Of course, other similar
 scenarios are possible, e.g. a fresh install is made from an old livecd,
 or a
 server is updated after several months of uptime: new packages are pulled
 in
 but signature checks are made using the old keyring currently on the host.
 So, instead of relying on the discrete updates of
 archlinux-keyring,
 wouldn't is make more sense to have a systemd timer/cron job to frequently
 refresh pacman keyring?

 Thanks,

[arch-general] KDE breakage with glibc 2.19-2

2014-02-14 Thread Paul Gideon Dann
Is anyone else seeing breakage of KDE 
compositing with glibc 2.19-2?  Large areas are 
unrendered: window contents and the plasma 
desktop are black, although my panel is visible.  
Seems OK when I turn of compositing.  I've tried 
going back and forth, and it's definitely the 
glibc update that's causing the issue for me.  
Anyone else?

Yes, I've seen this as well. Seems to occur intermittently for me.

A cronjob does not help you, when you're laptop is off.

If you are paranoid enough that a former Arch developer or TU will be
able to inject a broken package into a mirror, then it certainly helps
you to run 'pacman-key --refresh-keys' regularly. You can also do so on
the live CD. This will not automatically add new keys, but certainly
remove trust from revoked keys.

I understand your point, i just wanted to illustrate with another practical
exemple.
