[arch-announce] Note on fresh TeXLive installs
by Recent News Updates 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

With the latest update of texlive-core, some new hyphenation patterns cause TeX capacity to be exceeded when some formats are created. In the file /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, change the line trie_size = 600000 to trie_size = 700000 Then run sudo fmtutil-sys --missing and everything will be fine.

by Recent News Updates 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

X.Org 7.4 has been moved to extra. After sitting in testing for quite some months, it's time to move this package. This version fixes quite some issues present in the old version we had in extra. This version contains some important changes: - Input hotplugging is enabled by default now. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging for more information. - nvidia-71xx is no longer supported and has been removed from the repositories. Affected users should install xf86-video-nv or xf86-video-vesa, complaints can be sent to nvidia for not providing compatible drivers. URL: http://archlinux.info/news/424/

[arch-announce] ZSH Force Upgrade
by Recent News Updates 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

To ZSH Users: The 4.3.9 zsh upgrade must be forced, as the package now properly handles the unzipped man pages. Before they were unzipped in the .install file, meaning the files weren't tracked in the pacman db, now they are never zipped with the '!zipman' options flag. Thanks to Xavier/shining for being a patient, bug and patch submitting awesome dude. Sorry for the inconvenience. (Remember to only -Sf zsh , not -Syfu. Unless you want that.)

[arch-announce] Pacman update and mirrorlist
by Recent News Updates 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

With the update to pacman-3.2.1-2, we have split the mirrorlist into the pacman-mirrorlist package. This will allow us to push more frequent updates to the mirrorlist, instead of only updating it with pacman releases. As part of this update, your current /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file will be saved as mirrorlist.pacorig and the default mirrorlist put in its place. Remember to merge these files in order to keep using your mirror(s) of choice. URL: http://archlinux.org/news/427/
