[arch-dev-public] [core] lzo and pkg-config
by Jud 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Hi all, In trying to be consistent with Arch's standard of naming packages the same as upstream, I have notice two packages that will need attention. lzo2 ==> lzo pkgconfig ==> pkg-config The old lzo was only required by transcode which is now fixed. Can the old lzo be moved into unsupported? lzo2 (required by): * archboot * lzop * mkvtoolnix * openvpn * transcode There seems to be a few packages that have 'pkgconfig' as a 'makedepends', this could easily be a one-off fix as needed when that particular package needs to be updated. pkgconfig (required by): * dssi * python-vpython This will be the last time I attach full PKGBUILDs, I'm off to try and learn SVN. Thanks.

[arch-dev-public] bluez status?
by Jan de Groot 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

I would like to know the status of bluez in testing at this moment. GNOME 2.24.0 depends on the testing bluez-libs at this moment, I would like to move both at the same time. I lost track of this project, as they're not my packages. Any rebuilds pending? Any patches we need to apply?

[arch-dev-public] replace gqview and gqview-devel with geeqie
by Tobias Kieslich 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Hi, I just noticed that both gqview and gqview-devel got updated and that reminded me that the gqview project is essentially defunct. Saying that, there is a fork called geeqie and we do have a package for the alpha version in the aur. This version is basically a gqview-devel with some patches. Iwas using gqview-devel with out a crash for the last year and switched to geeqie by the end of April. No crashing there either. So I would like to bring geeqie to extra, and by the same time abandon the gqview packages. any objections? -T

[arch-dev-public] xorg move to extra?
by Jan de Groot 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

I would like to move xorg to extra soon. The state of X.org in testing is a lot better than the packages in extra. This means problems for some users though: - nvidia-96xx doesn't work - nvidia-71xx doesn't work - catalyst doesn't work All the other drivers should work fine, as they're either opensource drivers or binary drivers that support X.Org 7.4 by now. People affected by this should either stick with the old xorg-server or install free drivers with support for their hardware. I don't wish to wait for new non-free drivers, as the non-free vendors don't give any information about X.Org 7.4 support on their roadmap. We can wait for 6 months if we keep waiting on this.

[arch-dev-public] What to do with JRE and JDK?
by Eduardo Romero 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Well, I have been in discussion with Andreas Radke about the JRE and JDK packages. Here is the thing, they are both greatly outdated, they are at u7 when the latest is u10, both have a pending bug and a pending feature request, and both have no maintainer. I can't take on neither of them, since I don't need them, so I won't test them after upgrade and bug fixing. The bug that needs fixing is a very easy one to fix, so no problem from that way, is just the time which is the problem. Now, we have an option, should we keep it in extra where some developer in search of an orphan to adopt for his collection can take care of it, or should we move it to Community/AUR?

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] dhcpcd 4.0.3-1
by Ronald van Haren 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hi devs, please signoff for both architectures. Changelog: - bugfix release - /etc/dhcpcd.conf added to backup array - /ec/conf.d/dhcpcd now only contains DHCPCD_ARGS not supported by /etc/dhcpcd.conf (only -q to make it less verbose at the moment) - partially adresses FS#11849 ( http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=11849 ) . Look for my comment there (comment nr4). If someone knows better sane defaults for people having crappy routers/drivers without affecting others, let me know as I can't replicate any of the issues those people have. Ronald

[arch-dev-public] About KDE, python, openexr etc.
by Pierre Schmitz 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hey guys, just for your information: I have update KDE to 4.1.3 (l10n source packages are not available yet). At the same time I have updated openexr which was touched last time back in 2006. Unfortinally this introduces a so-name bump. I have taken care of this and rebuild the following packages: blender cinepaint enblend-enfuse fyre imagemagick koffice vips yafray Along with other packages (I have nearly 800 MByte waiting in my staging dir) those will hit extra after Allan has released python-2.6. (my packages are all build against it) Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de
