Seems like luna.archlinux.org is dropping traffic from your IP. It may or may 
not be temporary (arch infrastructure uses fail2ban). I would suggest pinging a 
dev with a devops role https://www.archlinux.org/people/developers/.

AFAIK arch.archlinux.org is hosted on a Hetzner VPS. This could be a 
routing/peering problem on Hetzners end or a routing/peering problem on your 
ISPs end.

What does 'traceroute aur.archlinux.org' say?

[arch-general] community/espeak-ng

2020-01-03 Thread Jude DaShiell
Does this package need some systemd additions like service files?  If not,
how can espeak-ng be configured so it starts up whenever a computer is
booted?  It's got no page in the archwiki and if I can get a replacement
of espeak done speech-dispatcher will work with it and if
speech-dispatcher works then I can get gnome and orca running too.

Currently, sh is provided exclusively by bash, though ksh, zsh, mksh and
busybox also provide a "time" builtin. I guess it would be reasonable to
uncomment it.

But ncompress is simple to package and generally useful -- it can even
be used by makepkg for extremely fast compression (albeit not as
compressible as gzip or other recent formats).

SCCS would require me to actually package it! So I need to decide if I'm
interested in the effort that would take, for an XSI option.

Is sh being provided by bash(1)?  A more POSIX-compliant shell may be
better, one that doesn't let lots of bashisms pass without complaint.
dash(1)?  And dash doesn't have time as a built-in, so we get to pull in
an executable for that too.

As for SCCS, it's a handy file format.  Better in design that RCS's.
And used by other tools over the years, e.g. Bitkeeper, so they do
linger on.  Plus it's a historical file format, just as ncompress was
sought to be more POSIX compliant.
