[arch-announce] Arch Linux mailing list id changes
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Jelle van der Waa 31 Dec '20

31 Dec '20

Due to issues with our anti spam measures, we had to migrate those mailing lists, that were sent from @archlinux.org before to the @lists.archlinux.org domain. Submission to the mailing list is not affected and still works with @archlinux.org. Mails get redirected automagically. The only change that may need to be considered on your side are filters and rules matching the From or List-id header which changed accordingly.

[arch-announce] Accessible installation medium
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: David Runge 01 Nov '20

01 Nov '20

We are very happy to announce that accessibility features have been added to our installation medium with [archiso v49](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/tags/v49). >From release 2020.11.01 onward these are available via the 2nd boot loader menu item. A [specific installation guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_Arch_Linux_with_accessi… can be found on the wiki. Many thanks go to Alexander Epaneshnikov who integrated the features from the [TalkingArch](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TalkingArch) project into archiso's releng profile, which is used for creating the installation medium. Note: The boot loader timeouts have been set to 15s to allow blind users to select the menu item as the boot loaders themselves do not offer accessibility features.

[arch-announce] libtraceevent>=5.9-1 update requires manual intervention
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Sébastien Luttringer 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

The libtraceevent package prior to version 5.9-1 was missing a soname link. This has been fixed in 5.9-1, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked files created by ldconfig. If you get any of these errors libtraceevent: /usr/lib/libtraceevent.so.1 exists in filesystem when updating, use pacman -Syu --overwrite usr/lib/libtraceevent.so.1 to perform the upgrade.

by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Frederik Schwan 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

We would like to hold a bug wrangling day on the 13th of September to reduce the large amount of open tickets. If you cannot take part in the bug wrangling day, then feel free to help us any time before that event. ### How? Please review all bugs that were reported by you and check if they are still valid. Please request a task closure on the bug tracker if the task may be closed. Otherwise please provide further information so that we can continue to work on the bug. We cannot fix bugs without your feedback. ### Questions? Join us at #archlinux-bugs channel on irc.freenode.net during 13th of September. As we live in different timezones not all devs and bug wranglers will be available at the same time, but feel free to report your issues to any dev available. Also please check your mailboxes that may contain notifications about comments made on your tickets. URL: https://www.archlinux.org/news/kill-arch-bugs-help-us-on-the-13th-of-septem…
