[arch-dev-public] the return to work, and questions...
by Roman Kyrylych 29 Aug '08

Hi! [preface] As some of you may notice through pacman patches and bugspam - I've _finally_ got issues sorted out and put my lazy ass in front of my Arch box^W laptop. So don't wonder if you'll get silly questions from me about the current status of things. This is the first such mail. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6174 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7864 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9332 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9811 All these reports are about festival which is long-time orphan. Does anyone want to maintain it? If not - I suggest drop it to AUR so users can take care of it. Similar situations is with some of Damir's packages. Does anyone know what happened to him? And what we should do with scientific packages he maintained? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] Wine association, waht should we do?
by Eduardo Romero 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Some users expressed concern in the capabilities of the Wine package to run .exe or autorun files by default, and sometimes this without asking permission from the user. This can be stopped, the solution can be taking this line: MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable;application/x-msdos-program;application/x-msdownload; out of the wine.desktop file. And adding a message telling the user that in order to enable file association with wine the have to issue the following command as root: echo "MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable;application/x-msdos-program;application/x-msdownload;" >> /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop Thanks goes to trivialstuff for looking into this, I didn't had the time to. The discussion has been going on here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=54162 I will appreciate your suggestions guys. Thanks Eduardo "kensai" Romero

[arch-dev-public] Signoffs on simple version bumps (was: [signoff] man-pages 3.08-1)

On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 11:25 AM, Andreas Radke <a.radke(a)arcor.de> wrote: > too slow. now please signoff 3.08-1 New proposal here. For packages that meet the following criteria (this was on-the-fly, I really don't think it needs to be set in stone): 1. Frequent releases (anything 2 weeks or quicker) 2. Little to no system impact if broken (initscripts would not fit the bill, for instance, but man-pages are not critical) 3. Can be easily verified by the maintainer to be working Can we skip the signoff procedure? The maintainer is of course free to still ask for it, but it would keep our pipeline from getting logjammed by stuff that really isn't in need of serious testing. Maybe just have list of packages in core we agree can be moved without signoffs, such as man-pages, tzdata, etc. -Dan
