The mediastinum is the area in the middle of the chest between the lungs. A mediastinotomy is the creation of a small opening in the upper chest into the mediastinum. This opening allows the doctor to examine the area between and in front of the lungs.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done to examine the lungs and chest. Your doctor might take tissue samples (biopsy). These samples are examined under a microscope to check for diseases like:
- Cancer of the lungs, bronchi, and chest tissue
- Lymphoma—cancer in the lymphatic system, such as Hodgkin disease
- Infection
- Inflammation, such as sarcoidosis—a condition that causes inflammation in organs like the lungs, liver, lymph nodes, and spleen
Mediastinotomy is also done to find out if lung cancer has spread.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Hoarseness
- Leakage of lymphatic fluid into the chest (chylothorax)
- Damage to organs in the chest
- Air getting trapped between the lungs and chest wall (pneumothorax)
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
What to Expect
Prior to the Procedure
You will be asked to stop eating and drinking for 8-10 hours before the procedure.
You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
On the day of the procedure:
- You will be asked to remove any jewelry, glasses, contact lenses, or dentures.
- You may be given medications to help you feel sleepy and relaxed.
- Be sure to tell your doctor if you have any allergies.
- You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure.
General anesthesia—you will be asleep during the procedure
Description of the Procedure
The doctor will make a small cut in the chest. Muscles will be moved aside in order to examine the space between the lungs and heart. Samples may be taken from the lungs, lymph nodes, or other chest tissue. The doctor will close the incision with stitches. The wound will be covered with a dressing or bandage.
Immediately After the Procedure
You will be taken to the recovery room for monitoring.
How Long Will It Take?
30 minutes to 2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure can be done in an outpatient setting or as part of your hospital stay. The usual length of stay is up to 24 hours, if there are no complications. Some people may need to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days.
Post-procedure Care
- In the recovery room, the care staff will monitor your breathing, pulse, and heart rate.
- Your doctor may order a chest x-ray to check for bleeding or air inside your chest space.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
You will have restrictions on specific activities during your recovery. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications, such as:
- Redness, swelling, pain, or bleeding from the wound
- Chest pain
- Swelling in the neck
- Difficulty swallowing
- Hoarseness that lasts more than a few days or worsens
- Shortness of breath
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Joint pain, fatigue, stiffness, rash, or other new symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Proclear Multifocal
Package Details:
Lens Type:
Monthly Disposable
Eyeglasses come in a variety of sizes. Several sizes will fit one person but it is important to be as accurate as possible to ensure a good fit.
Eyeglasses are measured in three sizes, each reflecting a different part of the frame.
Lens size
The lens size measures the horizontal width of each lens, ranging from 40mm to 62mm. The lens size reflects only the actual lens size, excluding any parts of the frame.
Bridge size
The bridge size measures the gap (connected by the bridge) between each of the two lenses. The bridge size will vary according to your specific face shape.
Temple length
The temple (also knows as handle) length measures the size of the temple from the hinge connecting to the lens to the end of the tip.
Reading your current size
It is recommended to always look on a current pair of eyeglasses to best determine the correct size, however, if this is your first time purchasing eyeglasses, or if your pair is not available, it is a good idea to stop by a local eyeglasses store to get your measurements.
On the inside of the frame temple, or handle, you will find a series of numbers. These numbers reflect your current frame size as in the sample below (in order of display):
54 - The size of the lens, ranging from 40mm to 62mm.
18 - The size of the bridge, ranging from 14mm to 24mm.
135 - The size of the temple (handle), ranging from 120mm to 150mm.
Note: If there is only one number available on your frame, it is usually the lens size measure.
Sunglasses vs Eyeglasses
In some cases, eyeglass frames may be smaller than a fitting pair of sunglasses for the same person.
Eyeglasses4All can help you choose the right pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses to fit your size and face profile, feel free to contact us by either calling 877-275-1888 or emailing email@example.com
When shopping for eyeglasses or sunglasses, make sure the frame you choose fits your face shape. Different frames fit different face shapes and will make or break your fashion style.
Below you will find a list of common face shapes and recommendations for each:
With wide cheekbones and narrow chin and forehead, the best shapes are oval, square and rimless. Make sure the frame is no wider than the top of the cheekbones.
With a longer, oblong shaped face, the best shapes are round and square. These shapes will play down the length of the face and it will appear slighter shorter. Choose styles that do not extend beyond the widest part of the face. Try a sunglass with a trendy, decorative temple that adds width to the face.
With a well balanced, oval face, most shapes will look great! Make sure that the frame is in proportion to the size of the face. This is the ideal face shape, so try the trendy oversized sunglasses, sporty wraps, rimless shields, or a classic rectangular shape- just about anything goes.
With a round face, the best shapes are rectangular and square. Choosing straight, angular lines will make the face appear longer and thinner. Styles with high brow bars and higher temples also make the face appear longer.
With a square face, the best shapes are oval, round and cat-eyes. These shapes will reduce the angles and soften a square jaw. Make sure the top of the frames sit high enough on the face to downplay the jawline. Try sunglasses with a thinner frame to soften the look.
With a narrow jaw and wide forehead, the best shapes are rimless; semi-rimless, cateyes and styles with a straight top. These shapes will help balance the jawline. Make sure the frames do not sit too high on the face. Avoid extra large frames, heavy nose bridges, bold colors and square shapes!

I love apple cider. It is one of my favorite things about fall and winter. Drinking the warming, cozy treat is cemented in my memory- associated with home, family and love. This recipe takes those flavors in a whole new direction!
I really enjoyed this. I do have to say that it is really a bizarre flavor, because I am use to spiced apple cider being really hot. BUT it is cold. And it has a warm after taste. You should just try it. I really do like it. It is kind of a brain twister.
Spiced Apple Cider Sorbet
This recipe was adapted from The Kitchn.
- 3 cups apple juice
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 5 whole cinnamon sticks
- 3/4 cups cranberry juice
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons spicy cinnamon bitters or other alcohol
1. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove cloves and cinnamon sticks, discard.
2. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Next it through your ice cream maker according to the directions of your ice cream maker.

Investors could be better off with lower return objectives and a less risky portfolio than the more typical higher return objective of most portfolios, a Vanguard research paper argues.
The paper by Vanguard researchers Donald Bennyhoff and Colleen Jaconetti, which Vanguard will post to its site Wednesday, points out the risk to advisors and clients of seeking even the historical average rate of return.
Titled "Required or Desired Returns: That is the Question," the paper argues that advisors who impress this distinction upon their clients increase the probability of their clients' investment success.
At issue is the return target that is fundamental to the advisor-client relationship. That number is very often subjective, influenced by factors such as advertisements or media reports of mutual funds' recent returns, or cocktail party accounts of a neighbor's investment results.
Bennyhoff and Jaconetti argue, however, that such impressions bias the portfolio and advisor-client relationship to needless risk—like "buying the building materials for a house before the architect has drawn up the blueprints."
A better approach would be for an advisor to determine an objective return target based on each individual client's unique goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, asset levels and liquidity needs.
The resulting required return vs. the subjective desired return has the merit, typically, of being lower and more achievable and thus requiring less portfolio risk.
The authors note that a required return approach could, however, go the other way. In other words, investors scarred by the financial crisis into embracing "safe" CD and money-market investments, preferring capital preservation over capital appreciation, may require greater return and risk than they desire.
More typically, though, investors are influenced by historic average rates of return, and the authors show that such an approach can be inherently dangerous.
For example, from 1969 to 2012, a 100% stock portfolio returned 9.77% a year on a nominal basis. During the same period, a more conservative 50%/50% stock-bond portfolio performed nearly as well, yielding 9.09% per year. But the high return of bonds was made possible by a long-term dramatic decline in interest rates from an early 1980s high to today's near-zero rates.
"The double-digit interest rate declines that fueled those well-above-average bond returns certainly are not probable in today's environment," the authors write.
With high returns potentially harder to achieve and not necessary to achieve, Bennyhoff and Jaconetti argue against a portfolio allocation needlessly skewed to higher-risk assets.
"Investment plans based on desired return, if higher than the required return, can unnecessarily increase the short-run volatility in the portfolio's value, which may be more than some investors are able to bear," they write.
Thus, a more conservative portfolio may make it more likely for an investor to stay the course. Lower return expectations may similarly make it easier for clients "to maintain their planned capital contributions through savings and retirement plans," and the lower volatility of conservative portfolios may avoid tempting clients to abandon course in times of market duress.

Will a screensaver run my laptop's battery down?
They will use your battery power. Keep in mind your monitor uses up quite a bit of power, so having it not just on but also displaying moving images will continue to use power.
If you're concerned with battery life, you should do one of two things to maximize it, 1) Have your monitor go to an all black screen until you're ready to use it again, or even better 2) set your settings so the screen turns off instead of displaying a screen saver.
Truth be told, screensavers were something of importance years ago as an attempt to minimize potential image burns into screens and monitors. Today, that threat is pretty much entirely gone, but because so many people liked the moving images, it was simply kept, as opposed to an all black screen or having the monitor disabled until activity began again.
But generally speaking, yes having your screen on will continue to use power, having it display (moving images) will use even more power. Set it to go black or disable the screen for short durations where it's not being used, and for longer periods, have it go to sleep or hibernate.
How do you charge a lithium ion laptop battery?
Use it mostly on charger. Try to not go too often deep discharged, if possible. I used this approach and my laptops (I have three now) goes first at tenth year, second beyond sixth year, they are obsolete now and still have 60% respective 65% of battery life.
I had used the last netbook on charger day-by-day, around 15–16 hours a day ON, part of this time was of course in standby but plugged in, and I stopped (unplugged) it when going to bed. It does not matter too much if you forgot it on charger, but yes, there is a (very) slightly damaging effect of living it on charge all the time. But it is FAR less than cycling it.
I did less than twice a year full deep discharge. I avoided it, because deep discharge cycles counts more to the lifespan. These are only necessary sometimes to reset the battery electronics which tells you accurately the capacity. But is not really need to be accurate - at least not always. The error of display percentage grows to maybe 10% in a year.
As a last advice, if you travel a lot and do not have where to plug often and also don't have time to leave it on charger and work with it on charger, the least damage when cycling it is in the middle of the state-of-charge. That means if you charge it as soon as possible (even if its only discharged to 45–55%), to avoid deep discharges, and unplug it when goes up beyond 70–75%. As much time is in the middle, will have least damage from cycling. A 10–20% charge or discharge in the middle of the charge is not sensed by the battery life as a 10–20% of a cycle, but far less (maybe 2–3%). Yes, the electronics will count it as 10 or 20% from a cycle, but that does not matter in reality for the battery. But when you know you'll have power for hours (when at home), you can keep it on charger to go to 100% and continue to keep it at 100%, because is less damaging to stay at 100% than to do microcycles.

MastersMasters, as the name suggests, is a series that concentrates on presenting recordings of the stars of DG's digital catalogue. As Diapason noted: "one does indeed find here the greatest names of the DG catalogue: Abbado, Bernstein, Giulini, Karajan, Argerich, Kremer, Pollini, Ludwig ...," not to mention Anne-Sophie Mutter, Mischa Maisky, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Trevor Pinnock, Reinhard Goebel and John Eliot Gardiner.
The strength of the recordings has continued during the whole length of the series. In December 1994, CD Compact of Spain declared of the opening 25 releases: "an irresistible offer ... Collectors are given the opportunity to search out discographical treasures in this reissue series." In 1996 the magazine wrote again: "The latest set of releases in DG's Masters series contains five recordings of such stature that I can recommend them unreservedly."
The UK's Gramophone was able to write about CD 445 600-2, Karajan's interpretation of Richard Strauss's Metamorphosen: "My last DG Masters disc certainly offers a performance that is masterly in every respect, Karajan's superb Gramophone Award-winning 1980 digital recording of Strauss's Metamorphosen, which has probably not been surpassed on CD for intensity of feeling and the sumptuous sound with its refined detail."
The cover work of the series is distinctive, with Old Masters paintings or artist photos sharing half the cover space with gold and silver backgrounds for Yellow Label and Archiv Produktion releases respectively.

The US Marine Corps is Fixing Itself to Confronting ChinaRUSI Defence Systems, 2 April 2020
Sidharth Kaushal and Jack Watling
The concept underpinning this reorganisation compares to that following the USMC's crisis of confidence in the interwar era, when the experience of Gallipoli had convinced much of the world that amphibious operations were no longer viable. The USMC's response drew heavily on the thinking of Earl Hancock 'Pete' Ellis, who proposed that the raison d'être of the Marines should be advanced base...Tags:

However, the ability of satellites to manoeuvre in orbit is not new and concerns over their intentions have already been expressed.

The British Army Must Extend the Range of its Precision Strike CapabilityRUSI Defence Systems, 27 March 2020
Jack Senogles
The pivot to Eastern Europe, however, makes clear that surface-to-surface, precision guided munitions (PGMs) are not a capability the British Army can afford to scrap altogether. First, planners will depend on medium- and long-range ground fired PGMs to neutralise Russian air defence assets. Unless ground fires are able to create local opportunities for NATO airpower, it is unlikely that air...Tags: Land Forces

Vulnerability to Anti-Ship Ballistic MissilesOne of the biggest emerging challenges to aircraft carriers are anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs), such as the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal and the DF-21D. Capable of reaching hypersonic speeds, these missiles can, in principle, mission-kill a carrier in a single hit. However, analysis of carrier vulnerability to the Kinzhal in a Russia focused scenario yields a...Tags: Maritime Forces

Nick Reynolds and Jack Watling
33 Turkish soldiers were killed on the night of 27 February in an airstrike in Idlib, northern Syria. The precision strike was an uncharacteristically competent operation by what Russian and Turkish diplomats insisted were Syrian military aircraft. Whether undertaken by Moscow or Damascus, the intent was clearly to suppress Turkish forces, allowing the Syrian government to occupy the final rebel...Tags:
Keeping Sailors Out of the MinefieldRUSI Defence Systems, 19 December 2019
George Galdorisi
Several states have employed a wide variety of sea mines during recent decades. Libya used mines to disrupt commerce in the Gulf of Suez and the Strait of Bab el Mandeb in 1984. Iran laid mines to hazard military and commercial traffic in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman in 1987.

The problem is that the SA-21 does not pose the main threat to aviation in a high-intensity warfighting scenario.

First Flight of Russia's S-70 Okhotnik-B UCAVRUSI Defence Systems, 9 August 2019

Part of the objection in the West is that to be credible in a high-intensity combat situation which would almost inevitably include heavy jamming and communications denial, a UCAV must have the ability to detect, classify, prioritise and engage targets with lethal weapons without real-time human yes/no oversight. Those targets would hardly be ambiguous – civilians seldom operate ground or air-...Tags:

News, news, news.posted on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 by WaxPoetic
For those of you wondering about the sudden movement and then the sudden lack of movement, explanations are in order. Explanations that are, perhaps, site altering.
For the last two years we've been struggling to keep things moving around here. Every time we just about recover, something goes wrong. Like Goemar joining which somehow caused site-wide interior glitches (through no fault of his own) even though it shouldn't have been a problem.
As a testament to Web's coding skills - I asked a friend of mine who, like Web, has been coding since she first found the internet - and she said that much of the code shouldn't function at all. Bizarre little tricks and coding done in ways that are considered not to be done due to the dangers inherent. What she was saying was, Web was a freaking genius. (We all knew this to be true.)
After much talking between this sites' admin and a certain others, new plans have unfolded.
TSGK is not 'closing,' it is changing. This front page will (in time) be replaced with a new site, a new TSGK which will serve as the new front page home of the N-Fans and the comics portal which once existed on Captainn.net.
The content will remain here as a sort of open-source testament to what Web could do, it will simply not be the first thing you see.
As for new content? We're in the process of (very) slowly sending over everything to our long-standing friends (even if the members didn't know it) at TSR.
So, without further adieu, http://spriters-resource.com/ shall be the new home of TSGK content and updates.
Perhaps someday we'll be able to reinvent the TSGK sprite site again with a new toolset and a new Captain to pilot this vessel. In the meantime, we're going to hand the reigns to someone more capable (Dazz over at TSR) and turn this site into something Web would still be proud of!
As I said, TSGK's sprite website will remain as a moment to Web. (But please stop submitting stuff!)

Arch Build System(Redirected from ABS)
Related articles
This article provides an overview of the Arch Build System (ABS) along with a walkthrough for beginners. It is not intended to be a complete reference guide.
What is the Arch Build System?
The Arch Build System is a ports-like system for building and packaging software from source code. While pacman is the specialized Arch tool for binary package management (including packages built with the ABS), ABS is a collection of tools for compiling source into installable
.pkg.tar.xz packages.
What is a ports-like system?
Ports is a system used by *BSD to automate the process of building software from source code. The system uses a port to download, unpack, patch, compile, and install the given software. A port is merely a small directory on the user's computer, named after the corresponding software to be installed, that contains a few files with the instructions for building and installing the software from source. This makes installing software as simple as typing
make or
make install clean within the port's directory.
ABS is a similar concept
ABS is made up of a directory tree (the ABS tree) residing under
/var/abs. This tree contains many subdirectories, each within a repo name and each named by their respective package. This tree represents (but does not contain) all official Arch software, retrievable through the SVN system. You may refer to each package-named subdirectory as an 'ABS', much the way one would refer to a 'port'. These ABS (or subdirectories) do not contain the software package nor the source but rather a PKGBUILD file (and sometimes other files). A PKGBUILD is a simple Bash build script — a text file containing the compilation and packaging instructions as well as the URL of the appropriate source tarball to be downloaded. (The most important component of ABS are PKGBUILDs.) By issuing inside the ABS makepkg command, the software is first compiled and then packaged within the build directory. Now you may use pacman (the Arch Linux package manager) to install, upgrade, and remove your new package.
ABS overview
'ABS' may be used as an umbrella term since it includes and relies on several other components; therefore, though not technically accurate, 'ABS' can refer to the following tools as a complete toolkit:
- ABS tree
- The ABS directory structure containing files needed to build all official packages (but not the packages themselves nor the source files of the software). It is available in svn and git repositories and the
absscript (from the abs package) downloads them using rsync into
/var/abs/on your (local) machine. On the local system, the tree contains subdirectories for each repository specified in
/etc/abs.conf, which in turn contain a subdirectory for each package.
- A Bash script that contains the URL of the source code along with the compilation and packaging instructions.
- makepkg
- shell command tool which reads the PKGBUILDs, automatically downloads and compiles the sources and creates a
.pkg.tar*according to the
PKGEXTarray in
makepkg.conf. You may also use makepkg to make your own custom packages from the AUR or third-party sources. See Creating packages for more information.
- pacman
- pacman is completely separate, but is necessarily invoked either by makepkg or manually, to install and remove the built packages and for fetching dependencies.
- The Arch User Repository is separate from ABS but AUR (unsupported) PKGBUILDs are built using makepkg to compile and package up software. In contrast to the ABS tree on your local machine, the AUR exists as a website interface. It contains many thousands of user-contributed PKGBUILDs for software which is unavailable as an official Arch package. If you need to build a package outside the official Arch tree, chances are it is in the AUR.
Why would I want to use ABS?
The Arch Build System is used to:
- Compile or recompile a package, for any reason
- Make and install new packages from source of software for which no packages are yet available (see Creating packages)
- Customize existing packages to fit your needs (enabling or disabling options, patching)
- Rebuild your entire system using your compiler flags, "à la FreeBSD" (e.g. with pacbuilder)
- Cleanly build and install your own custom kernel (see Kernel compilation)
- Get kernel modules working with your custom kernel
- Easily compile and install a newer, older, beta, or development version of an Arch package by editing the version number in the PKGBUILD
ABS is not necessary to use Arch Linux, but it is useful for automating certain tasks of source compilation.
How to use ABS
Building packages using abs consists of these steps:
- Install the abs package with pacman.
- Run
absas root to create the ABS tree by synchronizing it with the Arch Linux server.
- Copy the build files (usually residing under
/var/abs/<repo>/<pkgname>) to a build directory.
- Navigate to that directory, edit the PKGBUILD (if desired/necessary) and do makepkg.
- According to instructions in the PKGBUILD, makepkg will download the appropriate source tarball, unpack it, patch (if desired), compile according to
CFLAGSspecified in
makepkg.conf, and finally compress the built files into a package with the extension
- Installing is as easy as doing
pacman -U <.pkg.tar.xz file>. Package removal is also handled by pacman.
Install tools
To use the ABS, you need to install abs.
This will grab the abs-sync scripts, various build scripts, and rsync (as a dependency, if you do not already have it).
Before you can actually build anything, however, you will also need basic compiling tools. These are handily collected in the package group base-devel. This group can be installed with pacman.
/etc/abs.conf to include your desired repositories.
Remove the
! in front of the appropriate repositories. For example:
REPOS=(core extra community !testing)
ABS tree
The ABS tree is an SVN directory hierarchy located under
/var/abs and looks like this:
| -- core/ | || -- acl/ | || || -- PKGBUILD | || -- attr/ | || || -- PKGBUILD | || -- abs/ | || || -- PKGBUILD | || -- autoconf/ | || || -- PKGBUILD | || -- ... | -- extra/ | || -- acpid/ | || || -- PKGBUILD | || -- apache/ | || || -- PKGBUILD | || -- ... | -- community/ | || -- ...
The ABS tree has exactly the same structure as the package database:
- First-level: Repository name
- Second-level: Package name directories
- Third level: PKGBUILD (contains information needed to build a package) and other related files (patches, other files needed for building the package)
The source code for the package is not present in the ABS directory. Instead, the
PKGBUILD contains a URL that will download the source code when the package is built. So the size of abs tree is quite small.
Download ABS tree
# abs
Your ABS tree is now created under
/var/abs. Note that tree branches were created corresponding to the ones you specified in
The abs command should be run periodically to keep in sync with the official repositories. Individual ABS package files can also be downloaded with:
# abs <repository>/<package>
This way you do not have to check out the entire abs tree just to build one package.
/etc/makepkg.conf specifies global environment variables and compiler flags which you may wish to edit if you are using an SMP system, or to specify other desired optimizations. The default settings are for i686 and x86_64 optimizations which will work fine for those architectures on single-CPU systems. (The defaults will work on SMP machines, but will only use one core/CPU when compiling — see makepkg for details.)
Set the PACKAGER variable in /etc/makepkg.conf
Setting the
PACKAGER variable in
/etc/makepkg.conf is an optional but highly recommended step. It allows a "flag" to quickly identify which packages have been built and/or installed by YOU, not the official maintainer! This is easily accomplished using expac:
Showing all packages (including those from AUR)
$ grep myname /etc/makepkg.conf
PACKAGER="myname <firstname.lastname@example.com>"
$ expac "%n %p" | grep "myname" | column -t
archey3 myname binutils myname gcc myname gcc-libs myname glibc myname tar myname
Showing only packages contained in repos
This example only shows packages contained in the repos defined in
$ . /etc/makepkg.conf; grep -xvFf <(pacman -Qqm) <(expac "%n\t%p" | grep "$PACKAGER$" | cut -f1)
binutils gcc gcc-libs glibc tar
Create a build directory
It is recommended to create a build directory where the actual compiling will take place; you should never modify the ABS tree by building within it, as data will be lost (overwritten) on each ABS update. It is good practice to use your home directory, though some Arch users prefer to create a 'local' directory under
/var/abs/, owned by a normal user.
Create your build directory. e.g.:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/abs
Copy the ABS from the tree (
/var/abs/<repository>/<pkgname>) to the build directory.
Build package
In our example, we will build the slim display manager package.
Copy the slim ABS from the ABS tree to a build directory:
$ cp -r /var/abs/extra/slim/ ~/abs
Navigate to the build directory:
$ cd ~/abs/slim
Modify the PKGBUILD to your liking. If you need to make changes to the source itself, rather than just the PKGBUILD, see Patching in ABS. Then run makepkg (with the
-s flag to enable automatic build-time dependency handling):
$ makepkg -s
Install as root:
# pacman -U slim-1.3.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
That's it. You have just built slim from source and cleanly installed it to your system with pacman. Package removal is also handled by pacman with
pacman -R slim.
The ABS method of installing software provides comfortability, while still maintaining complete transparency and control of the build and install functions included in the PKGBUILD.
Essentially, the same steps are being executed in the traditional method (generally including the
./configure, make, make install steps) but the software is installed into a fake root environment. (A fake root is simply a subdirectory within the build directory that functions and behaves as the system's root directory. In conjunction with the fakeroot program, makepkg creates a fake root directory, and installs the compiled binaries and associated files into it, with root as owner.) The fake root, or subdirectory tree containing the compiled software, is then compressed into an archive with the extension
.pkg.tar.xz, or a package. When invoked, pacman then extracts the package (installs it) into the system's real root directory (
Preserve modified packages
Updating the system with pacman will replace a modified package from ABS with the package of the same name from the official repositories. See the following instructions for how to avoid this.
Insert a group array into the PKGBUILD, and add the package to a group called
Add this group to the section
IgnoreGroup in
IgnoreGroup = modified
If new versions are available in the official repositories during a system update, pacman prints a note that it is skipping this update because it is in the IgnoreGroup section. At this point the modified package should be rebuilt from ABS to avoid partial upgrades.

A Recipe for the Best Ever Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
When it comes to cherished family recipes, my grandmother's recipe for Pineapple Upside-Down Cake holds top honors. Like most everything that she created in her warm, tiny kitchen, this cake is remarkable in both its simplicity and flavor.
This recipe is over 70 years old and has brought pleasure to generations of our family and friends. So just what makes this Pineapple Upside Down Cake so special? It is a marvelously light, moist cake that is made irresistible by a thick, sugary crust that encases sweet pineapple slices, sticky maraschino cherries, and rich whole pecans.
You could modernize this recipe by using fresh pineapple instead of canned. You could skip the maraschino cherries if they seem old-fashioned. But don't. That's the beauty of this cake. It's a taste from a time long ago and, like a fine wine, should be savored.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
This 70-year-old recipe is my grandmother's. It's everything you expect a classic pineapple upside-down cake to be: light, moist, and sticky sweet.
Makes 8 servings
Print recipe only here.
1/2 cup butter (8 tablespoons)
1 cup brown sugar
1 (20-ounce) can sliced pineapple
6 maraschino cherries
a few whole pecans
1 cup flour, sifted*
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons pineapple juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Add butter to a 9-inch-round baking pan, and place inside of a warm oven until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the butter. Add 6 pineapple slices and place a cherry inside of each one. Fill in the nooks and crannies with whole pecans.
In a medium bowl, combine sifted flour, baking powder and salt, and stir.
Using a hand mixer, in a metal or glass bowl, beat egg whites at high speed until fluffy. Set aside.
In a separate bowl beat egg yolks with sugar at medium speed until creamy. Add pineapple juice, and vanilla extract, and beat well. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, and beat until well combined. Fold in the egg whites with a rubber spatula. Pour cake mixture evenly over the fruit, and smooth with the spatula.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Run a blunt knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert carefully onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
*Note: Sifting the flour creates a lighter cake.

OMG, I must say I was a little intimidated about making this because I am a cook, not a baker. I have never made a pineapple upside-down cake before, but I made this today for my husband for our 6th anniversary. It is the best thing I have ever had and went perfectly for dessert after our seafood stew. The ring of heavenliness around the outside edge of this cake is indescribable! I made mine in a 10 inch cast iron pan and took about 5 minute off the cooking time, there are still angels singing in my kitchen.

Three bowls used for a 1-layer cake is pretty high maintenance. But I figured that adding the egg whites at the end would give the cake that fluffy lightness that I do adore in boxed cake mixes.
But I have to say, when I added the flour to the egg/juice/extract mixture, it was super-thick, coming together like bread dough. I wasn't even able to "fold" the egg whites in. I had to use the hand mixer in order to incorporate the egg whites into the egg yolk/flour mixture. And then, it was so thick that it barely even covered the pineapples in my cast iron skillet.
It's in the oven now. I'm worried. I'll report back after I taste it.
- December 25, 2010 at 10:45 AM
- Susan from Food Blogga said...
lashanta-I'm not sure exactly what went wrong. However, this recipe as written, has been made scores of times without fail. The cake batter should be about the density of thick pancake batter. The egg whites must be folded into the batter and are typically done so easily. Since you beat the whites into the batter, it won't come out light and fluffy. I also don't know how it will cook in a cast-iron skillet as this recipes calls for a cake pan in the oven.
- December 26, 2010 at 10:58 AM
This was my first bake ever and it came out beautiful! I was amazed when i turned it!! But it was WAY WAY too sweet!! Can i just use half of what it asks for brown and regular sugar? Would it still come out as delicious?
- March 4, 2011 at 10:40 PM
- Susan from Food Blogga said...
anonymous-I don't find it too sweet, so I have never made it with less sugar, so I can't say for sure. I guess you could try it and see how it goes. Good luck.

I made this recipe and it was the best I have ever made. I placed crushed black walnuts between the pineapple slices and it was a great addition. Thank you for sharing this.

Is there no butter in the cake batter itself. Is the 1/2 cup of butter only for the brown sugar & Pineapple topping?
*About to start making this...HELP!

anonymous-Nope, no butter in the batter. Just got home, so this is the quickest I could respond. Hope it went well!

My cake is baking in the oven even as I write to you...just a quick question..I notice that your recipe does not mention butter in the cake batter...am I right or have I missed a vital ingredient?????
I can see it rising beautifully tho!!!!

I found your recipe online last nite as I was craving this cake. I followed the recipe to the letter and it came out exactly like the picture you have for it. It was very yummy and tastes just as good the next morning. Thank you very much for sharing.

This is the best pineapple upside down cake recipe ever. The cake has the most amazing texture. I've made it two times this week already. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

TastyTreasures- I've never done it, but if you'd like to try, I'd put pecans, pineapple, and cherries in the bottom of the muffin cups and pour the batter over it, about 3/4s of the way up. Let me know how they turn out!
