Hi arch community, The new 2.6.32 kernel series moved to the [core] repository.
[Upstream changes][1] Arch Linux bugfixes/feature requests: [# added
CONFIG_PM_DEBUG][2] [# added CONFIG_MMIOTRACE][3] KMS changes: - changed intel
kms enabled by default - radeon kms is now disabled by default Please use the
modeset option to enable it. - Early userspace KMS support is broken at the
moment for radeon and nvidia cards. There are some workarounds posted on the
[ML][4], [bugtracker][5] and on the forum. Next mkinitcpio update will fix this
regression in the future. Arch Linux changes: - split kernel-headers to extra
package If you want to build external modules please install: pacman -S
kernel26-headers Please change your PKGBUILDS to makedepend on this package. -
added xen support to 64bit kernel - [changed to new firewire subsystem][6]

This weekend on January 23rd, [Hacklab.CL][1] is organizing an event called
[Arch Linux Orphan's Day][2]. This event will consist of talks and presentations
about Arch Linux packaging, covering the Packaging Guidelines, the AUR,
complementary tools, and much more. The event concludes with a review of the AUR
orphan packages and, hopefully, some new maintainers. This will happen at
["KernelHouse"][3] (Antonia lopez de bello 157-A), in Santiago de Chile.

Starting with the mysql 5.1.40 release, the mysql configuration file resides in
the /etc/mysql/ directory and the pid and sock files are in the /var/run/mysqld/
directory. This is to comply with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

Two prominent community members, Dusty and ralvez have been working hard to
bring Arch Linux it's very own conference. ArchCon 2010 will take place in
Toronto, Canada's largest city, on July 22 and 23. Registration is now open at
[http://archcon.archlinux.ca/][1] and more information can be found on the
ArchCon site at [http://archlinux.ca/archcon2010/][2]. ArchCon will feature
talks and tutorials from prominent community members and plenty of interactive
discussions, development sprints, bug squashing sessions, and, of course,
socializing. Earlybird registration ends on February 28th. Those who register
early will be doing the organizers a huge favour by helping estimate the number
of attendees, and to finance initial costs.

The filesystem-2009.11-1 package has removed LC_COLLATE=C from /etc/profile as
this caused incorrect sorting on some locales (See FS#15250). Any scripts
relying on this value should manually set the LC_COLLATE variable.

The new versions of libjpeg and libpng required a rebuild of all dependent
packages. The libjpeg/libpng rebuilds are now complete and are moving from
[testing] into the main repos. Due to the large number of rebuilds required,
packages will take a while to propagate to the mirrors. It is advisable to check
the state of your mirror before updating
([https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus][1]). Remember to check your
unofficial packages (AUR and third party repos) for required rebuilds.
