[arch-dev-public] Away
by Allan McRae 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi all, I will be on holiday from tomorrow until the 21st of February. I will probably have email access but won't be doing any packaging, etc. Feel free to update any package of mine apart from python3 in [community] as I have some changes that I want to make when 3.0.1 is released. Cheers, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] man-db 2.5.3-1 replacing man
by Andreas Radke 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

I've built man-db based on the package in community adding some changes I have found in a very good written page in the LFS book: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.4/chapter06/man-db.html You can read there all about man page encoding and the expected locations and how to recode them. Therefor I have added the LFS recode script. This will allow us to recode broken man-pages when we will get bugreports. This should improve the current situation a lot. Maybe we should write down later into the packager guide how to fix broken manpages, maybe even into the public wiki. I didn't want to add a new system user "man" as the community package does. It seems to run fine without serious security concerns for me. If you think different feel free to drop a mail here. It's not critical to create a database after installation. So I left out any install message. The cronjob will do this on its next run. You can surely run mandb manually to see how it goes. All local tests have worked well. So I start a signoff thread now. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] zipman check
by Aaron Griffin 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hey guys, We have some packages in core that do not have gzipped man pages (at least one is my fault, heh). If everyone could take a few seconds and ensure you have "zipman" set in your makepkg.conf OPTIONS array, that would be great. OPTIONS=(strip docs libtool emptydirs zipman) note that these are global, and !libtool and !emptydirs should be specified at the package level

[arch-dev-public] Arch Linux release in the press
by Thomas Bächler 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

I just noticed by accident that our release announcement made it to heise open. This is the first time that Arch has been mentioned on heise at all, so I am a bit psyched. Anyway, for those who know German, read here: http://www.heise.de/open/Arch-Linux-2009-02--/news/meldung/132693 It's not much more than a translation of the release announcement, but should still attract some more German users. I'd like to use this thread to collect more press coverage of our release, so if you see anything, post it here (or reply on arch-general).
