[arch-announce] ghostpcl>=9.53.2-2 and ghostxps>=9.53.2-2 updates require manual intervention
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Jan Alexander Steffens 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

The ghostpcl and ghostxps packages prior to version 9.53.2-2 were missing a soname link each. This has been fixed in 9.53.2-2, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked files created by ldconfig. If you get any of these errors ghostpcl: /usr/lib/libgpcl6.so.9 exists in filesystem ghostxps: /usr/lib/libgxps.so.9 exists in filesystem when updating, use pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/libgpcl6.so.9,/usr/lib/libgxps.so.9 to perform the upgrade.

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…

[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

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).
