[arch-dev-public] Update: kernel26 2.6.25.1-1
by Thomas Bächler 13 May '08

13 May '08

Changes are: - updates to .1 upstream patch - catalyst should work on x86_64 now - iotop works now - removed toshiba-acpi patch. The one or two people who need it should refer to this: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16934 This is a general example of how to build a patched driver without having to build the whole kernel - updated unionfs - updated acpi dsdt initrd patch, it is still broken though, see here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10381 - group scheduler disabled, it seems it causes big latencies. slmodem and martian are still broken, I didn't get to look at that yet. I think about dropping them, as probably only a handfull of people use them. I'd also like to hear some opinions on re-adding mactel. They have updates now and apparently some people have problems without them (one report of a non-bootable system, dunno if it's mactel-related).

[arch-dev-public] Bug tracker help
by Aaron Griffin 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hey guys, I'm looking for someone who wants to help out as a temporary flyspray admin while Roman is busy with real life. I am not very good at keeping tabs on the bug tracker, so new bugs aren't getting assigned quickly, and PM requests are piling up. What you will get: * Admin status * Lots of emails daily (~20-30 maybe) The job: * Assign new bugs as they come in * Deal with PM requests (to close, or reopen bugs) * Other maintenance if bored (finding out-dated bugs, and closable bugs) Anyone interested? This may not be permanent, we will revisit the issue when Roman has more free time. NOTE: This isn't developer specific. I am opening this up to anyone who follows this list too 8)

[arch-dev-public] policy on desktop files?
by eliott 08 May '08

08 May '08

We have lots of bug reports for missing desktop files. Is this something 'we' are doing, or is it something that we should be telling users to report upstream instead? Seems like it should be an upstream issue to me, even though the amount of work for adding a desktop file to one package may be small..if we are doing for all packages that need them ........
