[arch-dev-public] thunderbird-i18n split again ...
by Thomas Bächler 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

See: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-commits/2009-October/062928.html Giovanni, I hate to have to point fingers here, but before making such a change to somebody else's package, it should be discussed here. Now we have split the big package into many small ones - that's okay. But you neither provided a reasonable upgrade path, without any conflicts to the old package and so on. Such problems have to be considered before pushing such a package to extra, not after.

Any devs adopting orphaned packages should check the bug tracker and reassign the bugs to them. With the upcoming bug day, it might be a good opprtunity for any dev or TU to glance at the orphaned packages in the repo to find any packages they would be interested in. For the bug reports, don't assign them to the orphan team (i.e. me). Either leave them as they are or simply unassign them.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] device-mapper & lvm2 2.02.52
by Eric Bélanger 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi, device-mapper & lvm2 2.02.52-1 are now in testing. Update: - Minor upstream update: lvm2: 2.02.48 -> 2.02.52 device-mapper: 1.02.33 -> 1.02.37 - Implemented split package. For this to work, I had to set the package version of device-mapper to 2.02.52 as I found out that the dbscripts can't handle split packages with different pkgver. -Renamed pkgconfig file (close FS#15909) Please test and signoff. Users signoff would be appreciated as very few dev uses this. Eric
