I updated kismet. Since it's a tough package to test, I put it in testing. Please try it out with different wireless cards and tell me the result. Jason

I could go either way here - I don't have a strong opinion, but jason has a point about size (bandwidth, disk space, etc).

[arch-dev-public] Will there be an extra rebuild?
by Eric Belanger 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hi, Now that the core rebuild is completed, I'm wondering if an extra rebuild is in the works. The reason behind my question is that several of my packages will need to have their license added/fixed and some of them haven't had a release since a long time (gtk, ogle, etc). If there will be an extra rebuild, I'll just fix the license in cvs. Otherwise, I'll bump the pkgrel to update them.

[arch-dev-public] Packages with files in /opt
by Jeff Mickey 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

After reading Aaron's status report, I figured this would be an easy thing to take care of. Here is the script I used to find these packages: #!/bin/zsh dirs=('/home/ftp/core/os/i686' '/home/ftp/extra/os/i686') for dir in $dirs; do for pkg in `ls $dir`; do tar -tzf $dir/$pkg | egrep '^opt' > /dev/null if [[ $? < 1 ]]; then print $pkg fi done done I figured I'd post the list of packages that have /opt files. I'm gonna do some of these packages while I'm here on break, but if you see a package _you_ would rather take care of, just reply to the thread. I also think that filesystem should be the very last package that we do.. if we ever do it. It's probably best to keep it there so that way packages don't add and remove the /opt folder, it is always owned by the filesystem package. If you think I missed a package or one of these is wrong, just reply and let me know. And here is the list of the offending packages: filesystem-2007.11-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz acroread-8.1.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz amarok-base-1.4.7-1.pkg.tar.gz amarok-engine-xine-1.4.7-1.pkg.tar.gz

[arch-dev-public] Use of force=y
by Jürgen Hötzel 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi, openchrome released a stable version recently (0.2.9): http://www.openchrome.org/releases/ The current package in extra is based on a svn snapshot: openchrome 20070903-2 I need to use force=y for an update. How long do week keep force=y in packages: If pacman uses an outdated mirror, this will lead to downgrade. I'm also thinking about adding the radeonhd to extra but i prefer a naming scheme like radeonhd-git-2007xxxx until a official packages is released and then use "replaces". Any objections? Jürgen

[arch-dev-public] 2.6.23.8-2 with cfs scheduler backport from ingo molnar?
by Tobias Powalowski 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi http://www.archlinux.org/~tpowa/2.6.23/ includes a new .8 kernel with ingo molnars backport of the cfs scheduler from .24 kernel and gregs rc1 stable patch for .9 kernel it adresses these bugs: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8721 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8745 this cfs patch is something quite big and i don't know if you all want to go this way to fix this issues. It could have the potential to break things, but also the speed improvements that will appear in .24 kernel and it seems to fix the wpa issues we have. Also for my system it runs stable. i would like to bring it to testing tomrrow to get finally the last issues fixed for a new installation ISO. any comments on it? thanks greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
