[arch-announce] Dropping Plasma 4
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Antonio Rojas 12 Dec '15

12 Dec '15

Since the KDE 4 desktop has been unmaintained for several months and it's becoming increasingly difficult to support two versions of Plasma, we are removing it from our repositories. Plasma 5.5 has just been released and should be stable enough to replace it. KDE 4 installations will not be automatically upgraded to Plasma 5. However, we recommend all users to upgrade or switch to a maintained alternative as soon as possible, since any future update may break the KDE 4 desktop without prior notice. See [the wiki][1] for instructions on how to upgrade to Plasma 5. [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#Upgrading_from_Plasma_4_to_5 URL: https://www.archlinux.org/news/dropping-plasma-4/

[arch-announce] C++ ABI change
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Evangelos Foutras 10 Dec '15

GCC 5.x contains libstdc++ with [dual ABI][1] support and we have now switched to the new ABI. While the old C++ ABI is still available, it is recommended that you build all non-repo packages to have the new ABI. This is particularly important if they link to another library built against the new ABI. You can get a list of packages to rebuild using the following shell script: #!/bin/bash while read pkg; do mapfile -t files < <(pacman -Qlq $pkg | grep -v /$) grep -Fq libstdc++.so.6 "${files[@]}" 2>/dev/null && echo $pkg done < <(pacman -Qmq) (Original announcement text by Allan McRae [[link][2]]) [1]: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_abi.html [2]: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev- public/2015-December/027597.html URL: https://www.archlinux.org/news/c-abi-change/
