[arch-dev-public] Bug Day announcement draft
by Roman Kyrylych 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

Hi! Here's a draft of bug day announcement (shamelessly copied most of it from my previous anouncement on 14th of April). Please find bugs in it and signoff. ;-) [begin] A Bug Day is scheduled on Saturday, 15th of December. The reason for this is to reduce the amount of old reports and feature requests. We will clear outdated reports, fix/implement those that already have patches provided or are trivial to fix/implement, discuss the pros & cons of implementing some feature requests, look at reports assigned to inactive/resigned devs, close/move reports for packages moved to Community/Unsupported. Join us at #archlinux-bugs channel on irc.freenode.net during 15th of December. As we live in different timezones not all devs will be available at the same time, but feel free to report your issues to any dev available online. Also please check your mailboxes that may contain notifications about comments made by devs and other users. [end] -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] ArchCon 2009, Take 2: Let's make a date
by Tom K 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

And we're back. :) Here's how I see this working: 1. We agree a date 2. We agree a location 3 and upwards. We organise some stuff This mail is about step 1. ArchCon's date is the single most important element to be confirmed, and probably the hardest as well. I suggested 2009 in the original proposal because it's likely that some people already have plans for 2008. Obviously, there are also people who already have plans for 2009, but probably not as many. If we're going to do this, we should regard ArchCon as a pre-existing commitment that is given priority over other activities, and not something that we try to squeeze into existing schedules. To kick this off, I'm making some provisional decisions here: * ArchCon will take place over a weekend * ArchCon will last no more than four days * ArchCon will take place in warm weather (Yes, I know, that's a date/location mix, but necessary for the next step) (James - see below) And now here are five randomly-chosen corresponding weekend periods in 2009: 29 May - 01 June 26 - 29 June 24 - 27 July 21 - 24 August 18 - 21 September I would ask everyone to indicate which of these periods would suit them. Please select as many as possible, to increase our chances of finding a good one, and set aside any other concerns, such as funding, travel arrangements, size of mugs, etc. If we don't come up with a date, none of that will matter anyway. If anyone has a particularly strong case for a different weekend that meets the same criteria, please post the details. I realise that individual weekends may be too specific at this stage, but I'm going for a shortcut here - it would be worthwhile if we didn't have to drill down from month to week to weekend. So fire up cal/remind/Google/Oprius/whatever, pencil in some weekends for ArchCon, and post them here. I'd appreciate a majority of responses before the next Status Report, which is due in just over a week. If we can get the date confirmed before Christmas, that would be great. James - I am also aware that my warm weather requirement, combined with my chosen dates, indicates a preference for the Northern Hemisphere, but our geographical distribution suggests that anyway, right? Regards Tom.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sudo-1.6.9p9-1.1 for x86_64
by Eric Belanger 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

I've fixed the license for the x86_64 package to reflect the one in the i686 package. It includes also the unsigned-off upstream update (the same one as the sudo packages in i686 core). Please signoff. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[arch-dev-public] Oddness at mirrors
by Travis Willard 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Can somebody with better knowledge of the pacman DBs take a look at this please? http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=40975 I've looked at the mirrors - all the ones he says are broken have a patch dir in the core.db.tar.gz file - I'm not sure what else to look for here. -- Travis

[arch-dev-public] [patch] remove netcfg from initscripts
by James Rayner 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

http://src.iphitus.org/netcfg-release/initscripts-netcfg2.diff Removes netcfg2 from the current initscripts. And... there's one slight problem in moving netcfg2 in. Unless we make initscripts depend on netcfg2, people will upgrade their initscripts and have no netcfg2 at all. Any better way of dealing with this? Let me know when you put initscripts with the above patch into the repo, and I'll update netcfg2 accordingly. If the patch is OK'ed, I can do it. James
