[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] pkgstats and repo cleanup
by Allan McRae 28 Dec '08

28 Dec '08

Hi devs, I have created a table of candidates for removal from the extra repo based on <1% usage in the pkgstats results. I have gone through and flagged for keeping packages which are i18n, makedepends, or otherwise needed (in pacman testsuite, using on gerolde). See the list here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/Extra_Repo_and_Pkgstats There is probably other categories of packages we should keep (e.g drivers) and there are some fonts which might be considered i18n related so can you all go through the list a cross out the ones to be kept and giving the reason. In a couple of weeks time I will remove all the orphaned packages remaining on that list and contact the maintainers of the rest so they can decide what to do with their packages. Cheers, Allan

[arch-dev-public] About libcap
by Hugo Doria 19 Dec '08

I just adopted libcap and realized that it is really out-dated. Any reason for us use libcap 1.10 and grab it from kernel-2.4? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/ http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/libcap/ -- Hugo
