[arch-dev-public] testing cleanup
by Jan de Groot 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi all, I've cleaned up testing a bit: - moved xulrunner/seamonkey/firefox and friends to extra. This is part of the /usr move - moved gcc to core/extra, cleaned up gfortran and objc packages from extra - moved Xorg and friends from testing to extra (requested signoff, no response after request, no bugreports for 2 weeks). - removed duplicate and some old packages from testing At this moment we have some projects in testing: - perl update - postgresql update - kernel26 update - some core signoffs Please don't stuff new big projects in testing before we have the perl and postgresql migration done. We can wait a while before we start freaking out on GNUTLS 2.2 for example.

[arch-dev-public] kernel26 showstopper openswan-klisp?
by Tobias Powalowski 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi new 24.1 kernel will come out probably this weekend. After some testing i think it's worth a try to bring this to core. The only module that doesn't build against this kernel is openswan-klisp. My question is, should this stop kernel26 from moving to core? greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

This was going to be done tonight (now + 6h) anyway.

by Paul Mattal 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Sudo 1.6.9p12 is up for i686. I still haven't gotten myself going for x86_64 builds yet, so would appreciate someone doing that. It should be an easy one. Nothing special, just a version update. - P

I figured the difference would be a bit more - does it suck for compressing binary data? Should we consider moving to a different, more compressed archive format? Or am I just making a mountain out of a molehill here? -- Travis
