[arch-announce] The Future of the Arch Linux Project Leader
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Aaron Griffin 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Hello everyone, Some of you may know me from the days when I was much more involved in Arch, but most of you probably just know me as a name on the website. I’ve been with Arch for some time, taking the leadership of this beast over from Judd back in 2007. But, as these things often go, my involvement has slid down to minimal levels over time. It’s high time that changes. Arch Linux needs involved leadership to make hard decisions and direct the project where it needs to go. And I am not in a position to do this. In a team effort, the Arch Linux staff devised a new process for determining future leaders. From now on, leaders will be elected by the staff for a term length of two years. Details of this new process can be found [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Project_Leader) In the first official vote with Levente Polyak (anthraxx), Gaetan Bisson (vesath), Giancarlo Razzolini (grazzolini), and Sven-Hendrik Haase (svenstaro) as candidates, and through 58 verified votes, a winner was chosen: **Levente Polyak (anthraxx) will be taking over the reins of this ship. Congratulations!** *Thanks for everything over all these years, Aaron Griffin (phrakture)* URL: https://www.archlinux.org/news/the-future-of-the-arch-linux-project-leader/

[arch-announce] Planet Arch Linux migration
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Jelle van der Waa 22 Feb '20

The software behind planet.archlinux.org was implemented in Python 2 and is no longer maintained upstream. This functionality has now been implemented in archlinux.org's archweb backend which is actively maintained but offers a slightly different experience. The most notable changes are the offered feeds and the feed location. Archweb only offers an Atom feed which is located at [here](https://archlinux.org/feeds/planet).

[arch-announce] sshd needs restarting after upgrading to openssh-8.2p1
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Gaetan Bisson 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

After upgrading to openssh-8.2p1, the existing SSH daemon will be unable to accept new connections. (See [FS#65517](https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65517).) When upgrading remote hosts, please make sure to restart the SSH daemon using `systemctl restart sshd` right after running `pacman -Syu`. If you are upgrading to openssh-8.2p1-3 or higher, this restart will happen automatically. URL: https://www.archlinux.org/news/sshd-needs-restarting-after-upgrading-to-ope…
