[arch-dev-public] dbscripts questions
by Dan McGee 30 May '08

30 May '08

Quick questions about the DB scripts, the output is below for reference. I haven't built a new package in quite a while and I have been on vacation, so hopefully I'm not repeating old material here. 1. It didn't die, but they tell me to both delete my 64 staging dirs and then throw errors on the stat. I guess it is a bit misleading, but as long as the 64 bit dirs are on the way out, not too many objections. 2. db-extra tells me there are no package to delete, and doesn't list old files anymore. Yet the old package definitely still exists- are these cleaned up by a cronjob now so I have nothing to worry about? -Dan dan@gerolde ~ $ /arch/db-extra Updating DB for extra i686 -------------------------------------------------- It looks like you have an old staging dir Packages are now differentiated by the arch in the filename.

[arch-dev-public] Changing my jabber account
by Aaron Griffin 29 May '08

29 May '08

I've had two jabber accounts for a bit - one on phraktured.net and gmail. I'm switching to just the gmail account, because I'm sick of running my own server, and I want to only use one account. If I miss an account in the transfer, just re-add me. It's the same as this email address anyway. Cheers, Aaron

[arch-dev-public] Who wants to set up my 64 bit build box?
by Jason Chu 29 May '08

29 May '08

I have a machine that has been put aside for building 64 bit packages. Now that Aaron's is dead, we could start using this one. I have no idea how Aaron's was set up so I don't really have an idea on how to set this one up. What is needed for me to make this build machine available?

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] ntfs-3g 1.0.2506-1
by Thomas Bächler 25 May '08

25 May '08

Forgot to send the signoff message yesterday: Another update, please somebody sign off this time. For the users reading this: As very few developers use ntfs-3g, please do a short functionality test (mounting, reading/writing a few files) and sign off if it works, so this can go to core fast.

[arch-dev-public] kernel26 moved, announcement draft
by Thomas Bächler 24 May '08

24 May '08

I'm sorry I didn't think about it earlier, but it was time for the kernel to be moved, so I did it. So this is (perhaps a little late), a draft for the announcement: Linux 2.6.25 moves to core It took much longer than usual, I'm sorry for that, but kernel26 can now be moved to core. Here are the changes: - Configuration has been reviewed completely, some more drivers have been enabled, configurations for both architectures are now in sync - IO accounting has been enabled, this makes it possible to use iotop - Cleaned up the kernel patches, everything is now in one big -ARCH patch, for details look at http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=linux-2.6-ARCH.git;a=summary Problems: - The USB subsystem can now only be accessed by GPL kernel modules. Therefore, the slmodem USB module does no longer work. I compiled the slmodem package without the slusb.ko module, I have no idea if this is still useful. - martian no longer compiles, I have no idea why and didn't find a fix for it. - Some users report that their iwl4965 is broken in 2.6.25, while others say it works fine. See these two bug reports: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10389, http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10442 I advise all affected users to keep a copy of the old kernel26 and module packages or not to update at all.
