[Arch_Extra] repository (unofficial)

@ohnonot, please check the output of

pacman -Qi rhash

My package says:

Packager        : Unknown Packager

Whereas the Arch package says:

Packager        : Johannes L

I think this is a peculiarity (bug?) in pacman's output when querying the package database rather than having two versions of the same program installed.

Do the programs in question still work?

those packages are dependencies; to urxvt iirc, but i don't use your package anymore. nevertheless they were listed as previously mentioned.

Are my repositories added after the official Arch repositories in /etc/pacman.conf?

yes.

to my knowledge the rhash actually installed on my system is the one from the normal repositories, since i've always been using urxvt.
why do you even have that package in your repo?

The openSUSE Build Service only holds dependencies from [Core] & [Extra] so if I host anything that needs a program from [Community] then I need to build that program as well.

All of those packages are identical to the Arch versions (I use the same PKGBUILD) and your output shows that the Arch version is the one installed on your machine.

I'll have to look at this a bit more and decide if it's a problem with pacman or with the OBS itself (more likely the latter).

Added Mitsuba, a research-oriented rendering system capable of generating fully photorealistic images:

https://software.opensuse.org//download … ge=mitsuba

The dependencies will need to be installed before Mitsuba itself (if the repository is not added to pacman.conf):

https://software.opensuse.org//download … ckage=gcc5
https://software.opensuse.org//download … lew-1.13.0
https://software.opensuse.org//download … om-mitsuba

Unfortunately, the program is rather old (2014) and so requires an obsolete version of glew (and gcc), this renders the version of glew in [Extra] uninstallable (Chromium needs this package).

I will try to package this up for Debian/Helium as well, it really is awesome.

Finally remembered to bump loksh to v6.3, only 10 days late :8

It's building now, should be ready soon.

EDIT: this will be the default shell for sharpbang 8)

EDIT2: link:

I've had to remove Mitsuba and the associated dependencies: gcc5, glew-1.13.0, glewmx & collada-dom{,-mitsuba} — I can't get the current package to build at all and the glew versions cause havoc with other programs, sorry

To replace it I have packaged up the Tungsten renderer:

Tungsten is a physically based renderer originally written for the yearly renderer competition at ETH. It simulates full light transport through arbitrary geometry based on unbiased integration of the rendering equation. To do this, Tungsten supports various light transport algorithms such as bidirectional path tracing, progressive photon mapping, primary sample space metropolis light transport and more.
Tungsten is written in C++11 and makes use of Intel's high-performance geometry intersection library embree. Tungsten takes full advantage of multicore systems and tries to offer good performance through frequent benchmarking and optimization. At least SSE3 support is required to run the renderer.

Link here:

https://software.opensuse.org//download … n-renderer

There is also a development version in the AUR:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tung … derer-git/

Here is a rendering of one of the example scenes included with the package:

^ A Cornell Box filled with water — check out those caustics!

This package won't work if the testing repositories are enabled because of gcc-libs (it was built with gcc v7), I've opened an issue upstream:

https://github.com/tunabrain/tungsten/issues/51

Hopefully that will be fixed by the time the new gcc version makes it to [Core].

I am very pleased to announce the removal of the mksh-fixed package — my upstream bug report has been addressed[1] so the official Arch package should now be preferred.

Anyway, thanks Eli!
