[arch-dev-public] Need someone with root power on gerolde
by Eric Bélanger 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi, The db script for extra x86_64 is stuck: $ /arch/db-extra64 error: db generation is already in progress (started by andyrtr) rm: cannot remove `/srv/tmp/.repolock.extra.x86_64': Operation not permitted That was started hours ago. Can someone with root power remove the lock file to fix it? Thanks. Eric -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[arch-dev-public] Other things gleaned from package list statistics
by Dan McGee 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

There are a few packages people have installed that we have killed that show up really high on the list: liblbxutil-84.79 % csup -44.39 % xorg-xsm-43.74 % It might be worth posting a news item saying these packages are worthless on a modern-day Arch system (as long as you have a newer X)? I know I had some of them installed. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] device-mapper 1.02.29-1 & lvm2 2.02.43-1
by Eric Bélanger 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Hi, device-mapper 1.02.29-1 and lvm2 2.02.43-1 are now in testing for both arches. It's a minor upstream update. The most important change is: "Starting with LVM2 release 2.02.43, the device-mapper files are now included with the LVM2 releases (in ../lvm2)." I've modified the PKGBUILD accordingly. Please test and signoff. I would like 2 signoff for i686 because I don't use lvm2 on my i686 system so I could only do minor testing. As I believe few devs use this, signoffs from users are welcomed.
