According to David Janusz, IT Architect at Experian, "Implementing infrastructure-as-a-service through VMware vCloud is the next phase in the evolution of virtualization technology. This technology puts even more of the power of virtualization into the hands of VMware customers, and it does so with intelligence and ease." Whereas the provisioning of development resources could take as long as 11 weeks, virtualization can trim this cycle to a matter of days. VMware vCloud, in many cases, can cut provisioning time even further, to mere minutes.
While consumers know Experian as a provider of credit reporting services, lenders and other businesses know Experian as a provider of information, analytical tools and other marketing services, to organizations in over 80 countries around the world. Experian knew for some time that it wanted to move to an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) approach to provisioning IT resources, as developers at the company knew that cloud computing supports the flexibility and agility they need to decrease time-to-market and respond more nimbly to business requests.
As a long-time VMware virtualization customer, it was a natural decision to look at VMware vCloud first for their cloud solution. They liked what they saw. According to Janusz, vCloud met the company's criteria for the following reasons:
- Comes with a pre-existing portal with a user-friendly interface;
- Allows users to publish applications that are offered through a catalogue;
- Offerings can be configured to meet differing levels of service;
- Met the company's security needs;
- And it ties into Experian's VMware vSphere estate, so it leverages the company's existing virtualized infrastructure.
Experian decided to first deploy a test case instance of VMware vCloud technology to validate its initial evaluation of the solution functionality. Once the test instance of VMware vCloud was live, select Experian developers were invited to try it. They found that they could provision IT environments, both simple and complex, in just minutes. "Developers became comfortable immediately with VMware vCloud technology's self-service provisioning portal. They found the interface intuitive and user-friendly."
With the vCloud proof of concept a success, the team now plans to fully realize its vision and build a private cloud-based IaaS model to support its test and development organization. "We will have a dynamic development environment," shares Janusz. "Our developers will be able to quickly choose from pre-existing templates of approved configurations of operating systems and applications software. They'll pick what they need, deploy it, run with it and destroy it if they need to."
Once fully deployed, the VMware vCloud portal will be available to all of Experian's developers worldwide. Experian expects that by streamlining the provisioning of IT resources, vCloud will help the company reduce project timelines and reduce time-to-market. Furthermore, Janusz also views Experian's VMware vCloud Director implementation as a way for the company to deepen its understand of cloud technology in general – including the public cloud.

Ubisoft announces that Far Cry 2 is gold, and the now-complete first-person shooter sequel is expected in stores for Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on October 21. On a related note, there's a German-language report on PC Games translated from the French Ubisoft Shop suggesting the shooter sequel will use the much reviled SecuROM for copy protection. We have inquired to Ubisoft about this, but have yet to receive a response, we'll post an update if we do. Meantime, here's the description of the game that accompanies the gold announcement: "Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Far Cry 2 will be the newest innovation from Ubisoft in the world of next-gen first-person shooters. More than just a visual and technological achievement, Far Cry 2 immerses players in an entirely new kind of gaming experience. Running on a tailor-made new gaming engine, Far Cry 2 features non-scripted enemy Artificial Intelligence, entirely destructible environments, dynamic fire and storm effects, and multiplayer gameplay, all in a completely open world 50km2 environment. Players will find themselves immersed in a war-torn, African state, where they will be forced to make deals with corrupt warlords on both sides of the conflict in order to survive and move ever-closer to their primary objective – the Jackal. Players must identify and exploit their enemies' weaknesses, neutralizing their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning, and of course brute force."

BlackBox windows manager dotpup
Its so easy to create dotpup with the Dotpup wizard 04.
This is the dotpup of blackbox 0.70.
I have not converted the menu to work with puppy. May be someone with more patience will come up with the menu.
I have also come up with a dotpup of lshw (ls-hardware) a command line utility that prints the system hw info in html & xml format. I dont know how many people would want to use it considering that it is a large file 3 Mb after installation (because it contains information for lots of hardware). And it does nothing but just print the hw info.
If any one is interested in using it pm me. i will make 2 small dotpups so that it can be posted over here.

Fluxbox is based on blackbox.
I prefer fluxbox as it supports WM-Hints, an technique that allows to use external programs to send commands to the Windowmanager, e.g. to minimize Windows.

That sounds very useful, can that be done with IceWM too?

The Blackbox Window Manager
First toying with BB was when v0.70 came out. I compiled it for Puppy 1.0.0 (or was it 0.9.9?). Why? It was simple, with no dependencies, and I didn't like fvwm or jwm as surplied in Puppy at the time. What I did find when I installed it was that it was simple to use and because of it's lack of dependencies, inclined to be bug-free.
How do you get it? ..... there is a pup package bb.pup. (this is the latest 0.70 ver )
How do you run it? ... from the command prompt, type " xwin blackbox ".
Where are it's configuration files?
First, there is a hidden file in "root" called " .blackboxrc ". This file determines the basic window behaviour of the manager and specifies where the menu and style file are located.
Then there is the hidden directory in "root" called " /.blackbox " - within this are two subdirectories called "backgrounds" and "styles" together with a file called " menu ", which strangely enough specifies the menu that appears when you "right click" the mouse on a space in the window.
How is the Fluxbox Window Manager different?
Fluxbox is derived from the BB source-code for v 0.65 (I think). If you can use and configure Blackbox, you can do the same to Fluxbox. Even the style files are usually the same.
Home Page: http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/
The home page is in the form of a wiki, and has some documentation, but not an extensive amount.
Styles ..
There are an extensive number of styles available for Blackbox (and Fluxbox), however the majority are for earlier versions of BB. The style definitions appear to have changed for BB 0.70, so you will have to do some conversion to get the most out of them. There is a style conversion program called "bstyleconvert" which is included with the installed package. It didn't seem to be all that successful with me, but then maybe it's just my gods playing loki with me. Probably the best help I can give with your own styles is to point you to a "before" and "after" style and let you get the gist from that.
Documentation ..
Despite it's paucity, have a google and look. You may well find the Fluxbox documentation fills in the gaps as well.
Fluxbox or Blackbox?
At the moment, I've gotten used to Blackbox, but when I reach it's limits, I'll switch, and / or look for better.

Awesome Stuff: Bring The Cloud Back Home
from the personal-cloud-solutions dept
- First up, we've got Mailpile, which a number of you have been sending in. This is a project out of Iceland, trying to create a webmail client that matches the kind of ease of use and features of a Gmail or Outlook.com, but which is 100% open source and self-hosted. When I was first thinking about private cloud concepts, I wondered if there was a sort of "Gmail for a private cloud" and it appears these guys are looking to do exactly that, including building in user-friendly PGP. These days, it's still a bit complex (though, not that hard) to set up PGP in something like Gmail, but making it even easier, and doing it on a mail system that will run on your own storage... well, that just seems like a good idea. Hopefully, various useful plugins for other cloud based email services can be configured to work with Mailpile as well (these days, I don't think I could live without Sanebox or Boomerang), but it's good to see that real efforts are being made in this direction. Overall though, Mailpile looks really quite awesome and I look forward to seeing what else the team can accomplish.
- But what about setting up your private cloud? The more "traditional" way was to set up a big network attached storage system, which can be quite powerful, with tremendous storage, RAID capabilities and the like -- but they can also be incredibly complex and super expensive if you really make them nice. But some are looking to get away from that, and a super popular one is Lima device looks like one way to do that. This product was known as "Plug" until just a few days ago, but following a legal threat from someone else who apparently holds a trademark on Plug, they've changed the name midstream (ouch) to Lima. Of course, it was so popular already that they had already sold out and have just added a second run of devices. Basically, this is a tiny device that you can plug into your router via ethernet on one side, and then out the other side is a USB plug. In the middle is a tiny Linux server that will take any and all USB drives you attach to the other side and make them cloud drives that you can access from any computer or phone. Basically, turn any old USB hard drive into a network attached storage setup. You can buy two Lima's and set them to do backups to each other as well. Need more storage? Add another USB drive. But it's a bit more advanced than that, because the Lima software also appears to synchronize everything and make it all seamless, so that you're not just seeing "another drive" for things, but rather everything is immediately and easily available on all your devices. No finding a specific drive or copying stuff over.
- Didn't get in on the Lima early enough to get the early bird? Think even $79 is a bit pricey for this sort of thing? You might want to check out this other brand new project over at IndieGoGo for the mySkiva Cloud WiFi router. At a glance, it certainly looks like it offers most of the same functionality to the Lima, but with a WiFi router built in as well. Oh, and for early birds (of which there are still a bunch available) it's only $20, which is kind of insane. They have iOS software ready to go and say that there will be Android software by the end of the year as well. From the description, it doesn't look as if the software is quite as sophisticated as the Lima (the syncing stuff with the Lima looks a lot more advanced), so with the mySkiva you'll just have a separate networked drive, rather than making it all as seamless.

Seung Chang Airtech, Inc. (SCA) is announcing the completion of a 95,000 plus square-foot expansion to its manufacturing operation in Auburn Technology Park North in Alabama, according to WLTZ News Columbus.
The 214,800 square-foot large manufacturing facility will help the company respond to the growing demand for its products.
"Our decision to expand our production is the result of additional business and increased demand from our clients KMMG in West Point, Georgia, and HMMA in Montgomery, Alabama. Our Auburn manufacturing facility strategically places us in a position to grow our company, and provide additional jobs in the community," said Dr. Daniel Yu, CEO of SCA.
SCA is also announcing another major project coming to Auburn. SCA has already began occupying a 20,000 square-foot facility in the Auburn Industrial Park where it will produce vibration and noise dampening materials used in the automotive, industrial, and construction industries.
With these two projects SCA will have invested $16.8 million and will have created approximately 200 additional jobs in Auburn.
"We are excited about the announcement by SCA," Mayor Bill Ham said. "SCA became a corporate citizen to Auburn in 2004, creating 40 jobs. In the near future, the company will employ 400 workers. I want to congratulate the leadership of the company and its employees for this achievement," Ham added.
The Auburn automotive parts manufacturer serves the automotive industry with black plastic injection molding parts and the assembly of heater and blower modules.

QEP Resources Inc (NYSE: QEP) – Hot Stock under Review
U.S. stocks are mixed Monday morning as clothing and household goods companies climb while industrial companies stumble. Major indexes are at all-time highs after a six-week winning streak and the Standard & Poor's 500 index has risen for the last seven days. Toy company Hasbro and competitor Mattel are tumbling after Hasbro's sales forecast disappointed Wall Street.
KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poor's 500 index was unchanged at 2,575 as of 10:23 a.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 29 points, or 0.1 percent, to 23,357.
The NASDAQ composite lost 14 points, or 0.2 percent, to 6,614. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks sank 4 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,505. On the New York Stock Exchange, slightly more stocks fell than rose.
The S&P closed at an all-time high every day last week. According to S&P Dow Jones indices, that hadn't happened since March 1998, according to S&P Dow Jones indices. EARNINGS: Electronic storage company Seagate Technology surged after its first-quarter report surpassed analysts' expectations.
The stock gained £3.34, or 9.6 percent, to £38.28. VF Corp., which owns brands including Vans, Timberland and Wrangler, raised its estimates for the year after a strong third quarter report. Its shares advanced £4.71, or 7.1 percent, to £71.09.
Arconic, which makes engineered products for the aerospace and other industries, fell £1.09, or 4 percent, to £26.09 after it disclosed a smaller-than-expected profit. (Source: AP) Top Pick for Tuesday: QEP Resources, Inc. (NYSE: QEP) QEP Resources, Inc. (NYSE: QEP) has grabbed attention from the analysts when it experienced a change of -6.26% in the last trading session to close at £7.79.
A total of 5,165,291 shares exchanged hands during the intra-day trade contrast with its average trading volume of 5.75M shares, while its relative volume stands at 0.90. Relative volume is the comparison of current volume to average volume for the same time of day, and it's displayed as a ratio. If RVOL is less than 1 it is not In Play on this trading day and Investors may decide not to trade it.
If RVOL is above 2 it is In Play and this is more evidence Investors ought to be in the name. When stocks are *very* In Play one can see a RVOL of 5 and above. The higher the RVOL the more In Play the stock is.
Day traders strive to make money by exploiting minute price movements in individual assets (usually stocks, though currencies, futures, and options are traded as well), usually leveraging large amounts of capital to do so, therefore they trade on Stocks in Play. In Play Stocks are volatile enough to produce good risk and reward trading opportunities for both bull and bear traders intraday. Most company stocks have very little volatility.
They generally move extremely slowly and they only produce big price swings when the company produces good or bad trading results, which may only happen a couple of times a year at best. In deciding what to focus on – in a stock, say – a typical day trader looks for three things: liquidity, volatility and trading volume. Liquidity allows an investor to enter and exit a stock at a good price (i.e. tight spreads, or the difference between the bid and ask price of a stock, and low slippage, or the difference between the predictable price of a trade and the actual price).
If a stock does not have good liquidity then it may take some time before a broker is able to negotiate a deal to buy or sell a stock and the broker may not be able to get the sell or buy price that the trader is looking for. This is a problem for day traders and it could mean the difference between a profitable and non-profitable trade.
Traders have different rules for what constitutes liquidity and a good guide is the volume of trades and volume of shares that are traded each day.
100,000 shares traded per day would be a minimum for most traders and some require 1,000,000. Trading volume is a gauge of how many times a stock is bought and sold in a given time period (most commonly, within a day of trading, known as the average daily trading volume – ADTV).
A high degree of volume indicates a lot of interest in a stock. Often, a boost in the volume of a stock is a harbinger of a price jump, either up or down. Volatility is simply a measure of the predictable daily price range–the range in which a day trader operates.
More volatility means greater profit or loss. After a recent check, QEP Resources, Inc. (NYSE: QEP) stock is found to be 4.92% volatile for the week, while 4.50% volatility is recorded for the month. Technical's Snapshot:
The stock has a market cap of £1.89B and the number of outstanding shares has been calculated 243.16M. Based on a recent bid, its distance from 20 days simple moving average is -10.08%, and its distance from 50 days simple moving average is -2.79% while it has a distance of -30.69% from the 200 days simple moving average. The company's distance from 52-week high price is -63.12% and the current price is 10.97% away from 52-week low price.
The company has Relative Strength Index (RSI 14) of 37.93 together with Average True Range (ATR 14) of 0.39. Stock's Valuation: Past 5 years growth of QEP observed at -41.90%, and for the next five years the analysts that follow this company is expecting its growth at 18.00%.
The stock's price to sales ratio for trailing twelve months is 1.19 and price to book ratio for the most recent quarter is 0.52, whereas price to cash per share for the most recent quarter are 10.59. Its quick ratio for the most recent quarter is 0.80. Analysts mean recommendation for the stock is 2.00.
This number is based on a 1 to 5 scale where 1 indicates a Strong Buy recommendation while 5 represents a Strong Sell.

|Battle of the Field of Celebrant
|Conflict: Wainrider/Balchoth War
|Date: 15 April T.A. 2510
|Place: Field of Celebrant
|Outcome: Victory for Gondor, Éothéod
Gondor, Éothéod
At least 20,000 Gondorian Soldiers and 7000 Eotheod[source?]
Considering the fact that they were able to drive the Gondorian force back, probably between 25-30,000, possibly 10,000 Orcs from the Misty Mountains[source?]
At least between 5000-8000, considering the fact that they were fighting a two front battle and had been already defeated once, probably 500-2000 Eotheod[source?]
Possibly 15,000 Balchoth, and most likely nearly all of the Orcs.[source?]
In the year 2510 of the Third Age, the fierce Easterlings known as the Balchoth waged open war against a weakened Gondor, and had already overrun most of Wilderland. Gondor had no allies left east of Anduin, and against hope had sent the Red Arrow north to the Éothéod, ancient allies of Gondor, but they had received no reply.
The Battle
In 2510 the Balchoth crossed Anduin on numerous fords, passing into the Wold in the north of the Gondorian province of Calenardhon. They met little resistance as Calenardhon had been mostly abandoned long before, and by the time the North Army of Gondor appeared from the fortresses of Isengard, Aglarond and other fortresses in the White Mountains the bulk of the Balchoth army had crossed. The North Army counter-attacked, and was driven into the Wold, cut off from the later reinforcements by the Balchoth host. By the time the South Army appeared, the North Army had come under attack by an Orc band which by chance or design had descended from the mountains, and the Dúnedain were backed against the river in a hopeless situation.
At this time the Éothéod under their leader Eorl the Young suddenly appeared, unexpected by friend or foe. The Éothéod crossed the Anduin at the Undeeps of the river, and broke on the rearguard of the Balchoth. The Balchoth were completely defeated and the Gondorian armies saved. The Éothéod continued their foray into northern Gondor, scattering and destroying all the Balchoth in Calenardhon.
Three months after the Battle the Steward of Gondor Cirion gave the Éothéod the entire land of Calenardhon in which to dwell, in return for their service. The Éothéod founded the Kingdom of Rohan there.

Gameday Graphic: Cowboys at Vikings
I'd say this is a must win, but honestly every game is in a 16 game season. Both teams have several important names on the injury report this week, with Brett Favre being at the top for the Vikings and Dez Bryant for the Cowboys. We all know that Tony Romo has plenty other receiving weapons to target however a broken down Brett Favre could harm the Vikings offense tremendously. And that's just what the Cowboys need. DeMarcus Ware could have a heyday in Minnesota today.
The Cowboys matchup against the Vikings this afternoon. Television coverage begins at 3:15 Central time on FOX.
The Lone Star Struck game chat will be open all day and we invite all fans to join us as we root for the Boys and share our game thoughts. Its a great experience with fans from both sides of the ball going at it, cheering for their team. We've had a lot of fun and excitement in the chatroom so far this year, stop by and say hi you might find you'd like to stay a while!
Enjoy the game – GO COWBOYS!

Karolina Kurkova and model chasing monkeys !!!
Chance and Karolina Kurkova play polo at 3 yrs old ?
Petra Nemcova, Quincy Jones, The Edge of U2, Jennifer Hudson, Russell Simmons, Karolina Kurkova, a model crazed monkey and other celebrity guests kicked off the holiday season at Petra's Happy Hearts Fund (HHF) at the annual benefit titled "Happy Hearts Fund Land of Dreams: Thailand" on Saturday, Nov 20th at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. This meaningful, fun and educational event is part of a series that will travel to different countries where Happy Hearts Fund rebuilds happy, self -sustaining schools after natural disasters. This year we will take 500 guests on a journey to Asia, where they will experience the magic of Thailand without ever leaving New York through simulated sights, authentic cuisine and traditional Thailand entertainment.
This year, Happy Hearts Fund honors champions of business and entertainment who have shown exemplary generosity even through the toughest of economic times. This year's "Heart of Gold " confirmed honorees are:
Piriya Knempon, Consul General, Kingdom of Thailand.:
Quincy Jones, Grammy Award winning music icon (He will receive a Lifetime Humanitarian Achievement award):
Edith Lutnick, Esq, Executive Director, The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund
John Forte, Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and producer
Jennifer Hudson, Academy Award and Grammy Award winning artist who starred as "Effie" in Dreamgirls and rocked American Idol
Victoria's Secret chose her to be a part of 2000's fashion show webcast, though she was only 16 at the time. Yves Saint Laurent signed Kurková to contracts, while print campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, John Galliano, Chanel, Christian Dior, Hugo Boss, Versace, H&M, and others helped expose her even more. In the 2002 Victoria's Secret fashion show, she wore the multi-million dollar fantasy bra, worth almost $10 million and designed by Hearts on Fire. Other runway credits of hers include Alberta Ferretti, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, Chanel, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, and Vera Wang.
Kurková was named "Model of the Year" at the 2002 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards, in part for her work ethic, having worked twenty-three weeks straight.
Kurková has appeared in almost twenty Vogue magazine covers internationally, including the French, Italian, UK, German, Russian, Greek, and Korean editions, and has also appeared in international editions of Elle, Vanity Fair, and The Face. She has worked with noted fashion photographers like Steven Klein, Mario Sorrenti, and Mario Testino.
After being contracted as a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2005, she was featured in the 2006 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, showcasing the $6.5 million fantasy bra decked with almost 2000 diamonds weighing 800 carats (160 g) and a centerpiece diamond brooch weighing 10 carats (2.0 g). As an Angel, she received a star on the Hollywood "Walk of Fame" prior to the 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, appeared on the February 2008 cover of Esquire, re-creating the classic 1966 Angie Dickinson cover for the magazine's 75th anniversary.

As stated in the title, I don't know how to install optionnal dependencies : (let's take an example)
I noticed that with libva comes two optional dependencies libva-intel-driver and libva-vdpau-driver, and as I have an intel graphic card, I would like to install libva-intel-driver.
But to keep my package tree quite clean, I would like to install it as a dependency of libva, this way, if someday I want to remove libva, libva-intel-driver will be removed too.
In the pacman manual, the option --asdeps seems to be useful to install a package as a dependency (but it doesn't seems to need to specify which package it is a dependency for).
So my question is, does this mean that libva-intel-driver will be removed when I don't need libva anymore ?
And more generally, how pacman manage dependency ?
As a matter of fact, I tried to install and then remove libva-intel-driver, but it never said that libva might need it.
tl;dr : I want to install an optionnal dependencies exactly like a regular dependencies would be installed : how could I do that ?
the answer is here : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … OptDepends
Last edited by gravitezero (2012-10-10 12:04:25)
If you install it with --asdeps, which package it is a dependency for is listed in the packages info file that goes into pacman's database.
Imagine you have packages A B and C, C is a dependency of both A and B, but for whatever reason you install C first with "--asdeps", then you install A and B. If you later remove A with "pacman -R A" no dependencies will be removed, but if you use "pacman -Rsn A" A will be removed as will all of it's dependencies that are not needed by any other package. So in this case C would still not be removed as B still needs it. If you then "pacman -Rsn B" B and all it's dependencies including C would be removed.
That is how it works for normal dependencies. I don't believe optional dependencies have database entries in the "required by" field as they are not required, they are optional. So if C were only an optional dependency of A and B, it would never be removed by removing A and/or B (AFAIK).
If you install libva-intel-driver with "--asdeps" then it will likely show up in "pacman -Qdt" output. If you later install anything that has libva-intel-driver as a regular dependency, then later remove that package with "pacman -Rsn" libva-intel-driver will be taken away with it - it is doubtful you would want this. So don't install optional dependencies "--asdeps"
They are optional, you are opting for them, install them normally.
Alternately, and as a direct answer to your real question, I believe the only way to do with would be to modify the package info of libva to switch libva-intel-driver from optional to regular dependency. This would be easy to do, but I don't know if it's easy to automate, nor would it survive udates to libva, it'd have to be redone.

"UNIX is simple and coherent..." - Dennis Ritchie, "GNU's Not UNIX" - Richard Stallman
There already is a thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149787
Leading to this bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30074
So the answer is: Not yet at all but in the foreseable future. If you really need this for some packages, you could rebuild them using abs, adding the optdepends to the depends. And please, if you have a good idea, look for one of the bug reports and share your ideas. I'd say the best way to get Allan to implement something, is giving him input.
Now that I have been helpful and all, I want you to know, that this entire "tl;dr" business, that infects the web from reddit, is percieved to be insulting by quite a few intelligent people. It creates the feeling, that your text before that tag is irrelevant. Instead you should chose your words carefully in the actual text.
I want them because I installed libva (which is required by ffmpeg, which is required by ?? probably vlc).
But I really don't have a good memory, so I would like my package tree to remember I wanted this package because of libva.
I think I will try to change the PKGBUILD, but I am pretty sure it will break on next update.
Should I post a bug report ?
You wouldn't necesarily have to rebuild. Just uncompress the package and add a depend line to the .PKGINFO file in the packages root, recompress, then install with "pacman -U".
Edit: A bug report seems inappropriate. If feature requests go on the same tracker, a feature request would make sense as that's what this is. There is no bug when a tool does not do something it was never intended to do. EDIT AGAIN: As Awebb pointed out there already is a bug report. While I stand by my logic that I don't think it should be called a bug, if there already is a bug report on it, you certainly don't need to add another.

"UNIX is simple and coherent..." - Dennis Ritchie, "GNU's Not UNIX" - Richard Stallman
I didn't saw Awebb post, when I replied.
I will follow the links you gave me, to see the bug report.
About tl;dr. I understand your point. But I wrote it to help people who will read the post to very quickly determine if they could have an answer or not.
So, if they do, I think they should read the entire post to know the entire context, or more generally.
But yes, for a 4 lines post, I agree this seems a bit awkward and maybe insulting, and the topic title is designed for the exact same purpose.
It seems that you didn't understood my problem, because both the topic and the bug report are really not related to my topic.
I do agree with you, I meant feature request, but as it's reported on a bug tracker ... well ...
The topic Awebb pointed to contains in fact, in the last post a link to : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … OptDepends
A page where Allan describe some of the behavior he implemented about OptDepends, some of these seems relevant to my problem and will maybe be released with pacman 4.1.
Last edited by gravitezero (2012-10-10 12:03:23)
pacman will have some improvements in this regard (probably in 4.1), but these will all be informational in nature. E.g.
> pacman -R tk
checking dependencies...
:: git optionally requires tk: gitk and git gui
:: python optionally requires tk: for tkinter
:: python2 optionally requires tk: for IDLE
:: r optionally requires tk: tcl/tk interface
Packages (1): tk-8.5.12-1
> pacman -S python
(1/1) installing python [######################] 100%
Optional dependencies for python
tk: for tkinter [installed]
sqlite [installed]
> pacman -Qi tk
Name : tk
Version : 8.5.12-1
Required By : None
Optional For : git python python2 r
The further improvements on the wiki page will likely wait until 4.2.

If any one is still looking for extra players, I could be the next one.
hey, well my current group is likely to go on hiatus as I am *supposed* to be doing a bunch of fieldwork this summer. So I guess if your message was a question (rather than a statement) then: not really looking for a player at the moment, but maybe come fall things will pick up again; if it was a statement: I'm a little too busy to play in another campaign at the moment. Thanks either way.

Apple: third-party iOS dev tools OK after all
Runtimes allowed back into Steve's garden
Apple has said is to allow software developers to create iPhone and iPad apps using tools it does not directly sanction.
"We are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps," the company said in a statement released this afternoon, "as long as the resulting apps do not download any code.
"This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need," it added.
The move follows Steve Jobs' ruling from on high that iOS apps may only be created using Objective C, C or C++ and compiled against documented APIs.
That limit was put in place to stop developers creating apps in, say, Adobe Flash, and then using tools like Adobe's Flash Professional CS5 to recompile them into an iOS friendly format or package them up with an iOS-compatible runtime engine.
The anti-Adobe stance was a result of the very public fight the two companies had earlier this year over whether Apple should allow Flash onto iDevices, and a broader debate on the extent to which Apple should control the software development and release process.
Today's about face will allow developers working in Flash - and God knows there are a lot of them - to create apps for the iPhone without having to worry about porting them manually. It will also allow games publishers to churn out 'classic' titles that, under the hood, run on an emulator.
Their apps will still have to go through Apple's review process if they're to be made available through iTunes to the vast majority of iDevice owners - and then face a host of commenters only too willing to point out with the Store apps that are slow, buggy or both.
The 'no downloading code' rule, meanwhile, will prevent the appearance of iOS apps that are themselves online stores, keeping the sale process in Apple's hands. It's not ceding that much control... ®

Leland's 18-Year-Old Son Joins His Family
On The Hunt For The First Time
LOS ANGELES - August 22, 2013 - CMT's current No. 1 series, DOG AND BETH: ON THE HUNT, returns with brand new episodes on a new night and time this Saturday, August 24 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on CMT. This marks the premiere of the first of 11 new episodes, and this time, bounty hunting legends Dog, Beth and Leland are joined by Leland's 18-year-old son, Dakota, for his very first hunt.
In Saturday's all-new episode, Leland's son, Dakota, is graduating high school with honors and wants to join the family business. He claims to be a natural-born warrior, but before the Chapmans can give him his badge, he must prove himself and pass a series of grueling tests including use of weapons, tactical skills and participating in one of the most exciting hunts ever on Hawaii's Big Island.
Each week, DOG AND BETH: ON THE HUNT follows the Chapmans as they arrive in a different city to work with local bondsman offices and their team of bounty hunters. Upon arrival, the Chapmans will bring their years of experience to every aspect of the business, from the writing of bonds to the implementation of tactical tracking and hi-tech device training. With their trademark no-holds barred candor and strong belief in second chances, the Chapmans will both motivate and inspire the local bounty hunters as they join forces on adrenaline-filled hunts, all the while showing their contemporaries a few new tricks along the way.
Dog and Beth are an iconic television duo and the most celebrated bounty hunters in the business today. In addition to eight successful seasons of their hit reality series, Dog Chapman is the author of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling book You Can Run But You Can't Hide and his follow-up memoir Where Mercy Is Shown, Mercy Is Given. DOG AND BETH: ON THE HUNT was created by Dog and Beth Chapman through their production company, Entertainment By Bonnie and Clyde. The series is executive-produced by Electus (Ben Silverman, Chris Grant and Jimmy Fox), Alan Deutsch, Rob VanAlkemade and CMT's Jayson Dinsmore, Joe Livecchi and Matt Trierweiler.

"The primary aim of the Affordable Care Act is to reduce the number of uninsured Americans. Even if the new federal health law accomplishes that goal, states still must grapple with the relatively high cost and low quality of U.S. health care…Under the current "fee-for-service" system, health care providers are paid per office visit or procedure performed. The key to cutting costs and improving quality, many experts believe, is to reward health care providers for keeping their patients healthy and keeping costs down, instead of giving them a financial incentive to provide as many services and procedures as possible. That's where states come in."

A whirring mechanical lift raised Davien Graham's wheelchair to the witness stand in Department X on the fourth floor of the Los Angeles County courthouse in Alhambra.
Pain burned at the base of his spine.
His eyes met Jimmy Santana's for the first time since the shooting. He thought Santana seemed much smaller sitting at the defense table than he had with the gun in his hand. In his baggy blue jail uniform, he looked like a child.
Two months earlier, on Jan. 12, 2008, Davien had been gunned down as he rode his bike in front of his church, a bystander in a gang war that had raged in Monrovia for two years.
He recognized Santana as the shooter. They had gone to school together. Still, Davien was afraid to identify him to police. He had been raised by a father and an uncle who were Crips, who taught him that victims don't snitch.
But Davien had shunned gangs for a Christian life, and believed lying was wrong. So when asked by detectives, he had circled Santana's photo in a lineup of mug shots.
Now he was being asked to set aside fears of retaliation and testify.
Staring at Santana, Davien said the first thing he remembered telling his family after the shooting was, "I forgive the person who did this to me."
Santana stared back, appearing unmoved.
Sitting in his wheelchair, legs paralyzed, Davien could see Santana's mother in the gallery, a small woman with a strained face. A group of young people lounged behind her.
Maybe they were in the car with Jimmy that day.
Police never caught the getaway driver.
The prosecutor asked a question, addressing Davien as John Doe, an effort to protect his identity. It didn't matter. Everyone involved in the case knew Davien.
"Do you see the man who shot you here in court today?"
"On the right side of the courtroom, and he's wearing a blue uniform," Davien said.
That was all the judge needed to hear. He ordered Santana to stand trial. Davien was free to go.
But he didn't feel free.
Sheriff's investigators said he wasn't at risk, and his family didn't need protection. But he didn't trust the Sheriff's Department. The sheriff had sent a task force to Monrovia to stop the gang violence. They dropped warnings at gangsters' homes.
His uncle got one. So did Davien.
That upset him. Unlike his uncle, Davien had never joined a gang.
They must think I'm a gangster who got shot as payback.
As Davien left court, the judge ordered two deputies to escort him to the parking lot, just in case.
Davien knew his biggest hurdle lay ahead: testifying at Santana's trial.
As the case dragged on, Davien felt as if he was doing time, waiting. He began to believe that his aunt and uncle, Joni and Terry Alford, resented caring for him, especially when he bumped into their furniture or urinated in his shabby wheelchair.
They didn't seem to fear for his safety. Sometimes when they ran errands, they would leave him alone in the car, where he felt trapped and exposed.
Davien wanted to put the trial behind him. He wanted out of Monrovia. He decided the best way out was to finish high school and make it to college.
In September, he returned to Monrovia High; back among friends, he thrived. He almost forgot about the trial. Then one day some guys drove by his house, shouting threats. It wasn't clear if the message was meant for Davien or for his uncle.
Some time later, Davien was called to the principal's office. Sheriff's deputies were waiting. They told him they had intercepted a threatening message in gang code at the county jail. He apparently was being targeted.
We're taking you home to grab some things, the deputies said. You can stay in school, but not with your family. You're being relocated.
Back at the house, his aunt watched him pack. Deputies could not say where he was going, or for how long.
"It's messed up," Davien said, trembling. "Not only did he take my legs away from me, now he's trying to take my whole life."
Deputies took Davien to stay with a teacher the officers knew.
Davien felt safer. But he still worried, especially about his brothers at home. One of them had started working at Calvary Grace, the church where Davien was shot.
Over the next three years, as the sheriff's task force tamped down the gang war, Davien's case passed to a new public defender, a new prosecutor and six different judges.
Davien graduated from high school and moved from Monrovia to attend college in Fullerton. He learned to get around in his wheelchair, and had more surgeries than he could remember to deal with the bullet fragments inside his body.
One day last fall, as he was preparing for exams, Davien arrived at his apartment to find waiting sheriff's deputies and a detective he had grown to trust, Scott Schulze. The trial was starting Jan. 26, 2012. They handed him a subpoena. He was startled and upset.
He had agreed to testify. Why were they acting as if they had to force him, surprising him at his apartment with his friends?
Davien called the new prosecutor. He didn't trust her, so he recorded the call. He asked why she hadn't come to see him herself and why she sent deputies when she knew he had agreed to show up.
She didn't sound apologetic, he thought.
He hung up feeling as though he was heading to court without anyone on his side.
Davien could feel jurors' eyes crawling over his face. He stared ahead, focusing on the prosecutor, just as Schulze had recommended.
Davien, by then 20, shifted in his wheelchair on the stand, looking down at the gallery. He recognized Santana's mother. She and another son testified that Santana was home with them at the time of the shooting. It was their word against Davien's.
No one from Davien's family was there. He didn't tell them about the trial because he didn't want to put them at risk if gang members showed up.
He tried to clear his throat; his mouth was dry. In a court system that was handling more than 1,800 attempted murder cases, 600 of them gang-related, he felt lost.
He hoped jurors could read him, the way parents read a child. Jurors needed to see that he was no gangster. He just happened to be young and black and in the wrong place.
Surely the lone black juror, a woman staring at him from the front row, would understand.
Santana, 23, sat 15 feet away, slouching into a baggy dress shirt.
The prosecutor asked Davien to demonstrate how his attacker pointed the gun.
Davien extended his willowy arms, clasping his hands in the shape of a pistol. He winced. His back ached every time he bent his 6-foot-4-inch frame to the microphone.
"Where was it being pointed?" the prosecutor asked.
"At my face."
He could feel sweat spreading under his arms, wilting the new button-down shirt he had bought at Target for the trial.
"Did you see anyone in the car?" she asked.
"I saw a driver and a passenger," Davien said, without looking at Santana.
"Did you know who said, 'Hey, fool'?"
"The passenger," he said.
"Did you get a look at the passenger?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Now Davien glanced at Santana. The accused was biting his shadow of a mustache.
"Did you see his face?" the prosecutor asked.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Can you look around the court and see if the person is here?"
Davien did not hesitate.
"Yes, ma'am," Davien said. "He is sitting next to his lawyer in a collared shirt."
"How confident were you that he was the person?"
"One hundred percent."
Not long afterward, Santana's public defender stood. Davien had once imagined himself looking just like that lawyer: a black man standing tall in an elegant suit.
What was the name of your uncle's former gang? the lawyer asked.
Davien frowned. "I don't recall."
"You don't recall what gang?"
The prosecutor objected. The judge overruled her. Davien had to answer the question.
"He was a Crip," Davien said.
Jurors shifted in their seats. Davien feared they were souring on him. They didn't know how hard he had tried to live right.
They think I got shot for a reason.
At 3:50 p.m. on Feb. 2, after six hours of deliberation, a buzzer sounded signaling a verdict.
The bailiff brought Santana into the courtroom. His mother bowed her head and grasped the hand of her other son, praying in a whisper of Spanish: "Let it be just."
For added security, four more bailiffs slipped into the courtroom.
As the clerk read the verdict, Santana shook his head.
Guilty on all counts, including willful, deliberate and premeditated attempted murder.
Santana sobbed, curling into himself. In the gallery, his mother was weeping.
Jurors filed out, eyes darting, avoiding the Santanas and searching for the polite young man in the wheelchair whom they would later say they believed from the moment he took the stand.
But Davien had gone back to school.
He would later send a statement for the prosecutor to read to Santana at his sentencing in June.
The shooting broke him, Davien wrote. But he managed to recover and start a new life.
"I hope that you can become a better person during this whole experience," he wrote to Santana. "Life does not end here for you. You can still do good to the world."
Santana and his family declined to be interviewed for this article. He was sentenced to 40 years to life.
A month and a half after the trial, on March 17, 2012, Davien was surrounded by a crowd at his apartment. It was his birthday. He had fulfilled his childhood goal: survive to age 21.
Davien belted out a rap song he had composed.
"What do you see when you look in the mirror? Does it fade away or all get clearer?"
Davien's father, Steven "Steve-O" Graham, was in the crowd. The former Crip had straightened out and started a handyman business.
Davien made peace with him and his mother — but as friends, not as parents. He had been his own parent for a long time.
Davien had a new goal. He was finishing his third year of college, planning to graduate with a degree in video production.
School can take me places that walking can't.
He has a five-year plan, which includes self-producing two rap albums from his mix tapes: "Musical Chair" and "Ramps and Elevators." He wants to produce a clothing line featuring a stylized handicapped logo, an after-school program for at-risk youth and a screenplay titled "Where There's Wheels, There's a Way."
At the party, his girlfriend, a fellow student, presented a marble sheet cake decorated with his planned album cover: a photo of Davien in his wheelchair.
"It's not every day a young man turns 21," his father said. "You're grown for the rest of your life — don't turn back."
He handed Davien a flute of pink champagne. Davien sipped slowly. Leaning forward to blow out his candles, he made a wish.
