add chromium-browser package in buildroot - linux

Good Day Everyone,
does anyone here knows how to add chromium-browser package on buildroot? I have been looking around the net to add the chromium-browser package, I found several files in Google Fiber Project and added the necessary files in my local repo but after the build process it wasn't added. I have found this Forum where someone says chromium is not included on the official Buildroot.
Any comment/suggestions are highly appreciated.

See the patch series at http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2018-June/223323.html which was recently posted to the Buildroot mailing list. It hasn't been merged due to some outstanding comments/issues, but it provides a start, and we hope to have this merged in the near future.

How to update a Cygwin package that has no maintainer?

Many Cygwin's packages have no maintainer, is it still revelant to use Cygwin ?
I would like to update ruby or ansible package to the last version, how can I do that ?
Thanks
Package maintainers are volunteers.
Anyone can offer him/herself for the job.
Documentation
https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html
Mailing list for discussion about Maintainers
https://cygwin.com/mailman/listinfo/cygwin-apps
If you want to be a maintainer you must subscribe to the Cygwin mailing lists. All discussions about maintaining packages are there, and you will be required to post your credentials (i.e. public key) there in order to upload updated packages. Note that some orphan packages became so because the previous maintainer needed to reduce their workload.
Once you are subscribed, just ask to take over an orphaned package, upload your credentials, install the source package, make necessary changes, and upload the new package. It sounds easy, but you might want to build the package and make sure it runs all tests before asking to be the new maintainer.
Note that there may be others who have tried to update a package, and encountered blocking problems. Those will be discussed in the mailing lists, which you can search.

Using Eclipse (with Debian) to modify applications from the official repository

For a university project, I am trying to find a not so cumbersome way to effectively modify certain applications from the official Debian repository, such as eog. I want to clarify that I am unfamiliar with Linux and GTK. My idea was to be able to work comfortably in terms of finding variable and function definitions, trying step by step debugging while getting used to gtk+ and the application's source code. I tried to understand the code while working from the terminal, but in my opinion, it was a pain i* t** a**.
So far, I managed to install the application's build dependencies with
sudo apt build-dep eog
and I received the source-code with
apt-get source eog
After I installed eclipse, I tried to get gtk+ running with the minimum example from the gtk+ reference manual. I found a very useful easy explanation here. It's the answer from Wed, 04 November 2015 12:51.No problem so far. So in theory, I should be able to write GTK+ applications in Eclipse. But when I am trying to make a new project and include eog's .src and .h files, I am running into a mass of unresolved inclusions, missing header files, undefined references etc...
So I wanted to ask: Did anybody work on similar tasks and can provide some help? Or: Does anyone have a better idea maybe?
If anybody should come across this ever again: I found an alternative solution: When you download the source-files of eog, you will come across the meson-build system. Eclipse supports C meson-build projects. I just copied all downloaded source files into the meson-build project in eclipse in could compile it right away.

AHBot in an AzerothCore 3.3.5 Server

Does anyone have a guide on setting up AHBot in an AzerothCore 3.3.5 server? I can find no mention of ahbot in the world.conf and no DB tables like auctionhousebot in the database or any references. It is included in TrinityCore so all the google references that I find point me back there.
Our server is just two of us and it would be nice to have some items on the auction house. At the moment, if you need a silver bar you have to go out in the world and find it. That was exciting the first couple of times... but gets old.
I followed the guide to install off github: https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/Installation and am using the latest release under Ubuntu linux.
Thank you for any help. You are my last hope...
AHBot is not currently an 'official' supported module of AzerothCore (which would be why you aren't finding any settings in the worldserver or anywhere else regarding it).
There is a module in development that isn't currently part of the AC list, but I've gotten it working on my personal server: https://github.com/AyaseCore/mod-ahbot Note that this is a bit different than a normal module as there is also a git patch that needs to be applied manually.
Theres a module in azerothCore repository you have to apply patch manually but it wont compile on Win x64 and unix x64 comes up with an error about 9 arguments, but seems to compile for some

Adding GitHub project to Launchpad PPA Package

I am trying to figure out how to add a GitHub project to my simple, working Launchpad PPA package. The GitHub project that I am try to add is https://github.com/compiz-reloaded/compiz-boxmenu. I couldn't find much help online and I'm hoping that someone can help point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this. Thanks!
You need to 'debianize' your package first. The debianization depends on the package type, and the manual for a package debianization is called Debian Policy.
This wiki is also very useful. Once you have your package debianized, you should compile it using the source option (I usually do it using dpkg-buildpackage -S. Pass your key using -k<Key> also. The same one you uploaded to your launchpad account.
Once you built your source, you will find a file called package_version.changes. You basically upload it as described in your PPA information. The package will be compiled, and, if no errors are found, it will be available in the PPA. If you want to enable the build for other architectures, as IBM POWER (ppc64el) or ARM (aarch64) , you should opt in.

Index.diff Packages file in a Repository

I've tried googling and couldnt find much on this topic. I have this problem with my repo, I have tons of debian files that each time i scan-packages, it would take a whole lot of time to build the Packages file. I recently stumbled on to this:
It allows you to add newer packages to the repo with newer Packages file together.
Does anyone have an idea how this works? Thanks!
