Differences from Arch Linux

While Arch Linux provides mostly complete packages I don't split packages into multiple variations. E.g. Instead of six pulseaudio packages I only provide one.

  • glibc-git

    Removed all non-UTF-8 charmaps. By simplifying the locale-gen script I can provide an empty /etc/locales directory for users to add their locales as empty files with the name of the locale, e.g. /etc/locales/en_GB

    If the file is not empty then the content can be used as the charmap.

  • pulseaudio-git

    Disables practically every additional feature from dbus to esound support leaving only the main POSIX functionality. This doesn't include a lib32 libpulse which is problematic when using wine.

  • vim-git

    Built without gtk while still including x11 support with all available dynamic interpreters. Does not include downstream modification such as archlinux.vim or change global vimrc locations.

  • xterm-git

    Include a patch which enables keyboard selection based on a search pattern. This is a continuation of the work by fmang[1] and pbrisbin[2].
