[arch-dev-public] dropping Gnash?
by Andreas Radke 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Gnash is in Orphaned state for a long time. Is there any Dev wanting to pick it up? Any TU wants to maintain it? If not we will remove it so our community might pick it up for AUR. I myself will keep maintaining swfdec in extra as an OSS alternative for Adobe flash. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] crda 1.0.1-2, wireless-regdb 2009.03.09-1
by Thomas Bächler 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Changes compared to 1.0.1-1: - Split crda into crda and wireless-regdb (as it is done by all other distros that already include it) The regdb will probably be updated more often than crda - If crda is installed, the integrity of the regdb is now verified on build and install time (if not, a warning is issued on build time, and nothing happens on install time) A warning is issued if the database is corrupted. - The file /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom moved from crda to wireless-regdb. If the user has already set the domain there, the .pacorig file overwrites the one from wireless-regdb. This is safe, as the only changes that may be in the stock file are newly added domains, which are commented - It is not necessary to add wireless-regdom to DAEMONS any more. As soon as cfg80211 is loaded, the regdom is set (if one is specified in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom) This is not only more convenient, but also ensures the regdom is still set correctly after rmmod cfg80211; modprobe cfg80211 Please sign off. Note that with 2.6.29-ARCH and newer, you will only get access to the "World" regdom (channels 1-11, plus some 5GHz channels with passive scanning only) if you don't install crda and set your regdom. (With 2.6.28-ARCH and older, the "US" regdom was enabled by default, and you could set "EU" and "JP" domains with a module parameter) Signoff procedure: 1) If crda is already installed, wireless-regdb will issue a warning on installation if anything is corrupted. (You can also run regdbdump /usr/lib/crda/regulatory.bin manually, if that shows you a bunch of data instead of an error, all is fine). 2) After a you reboot, reload cfg80211 or "/etc/rc.d/wireless-regdb start", "iw list" should show you the proper channels. You will also see messages in your syslog if you change the regdom. Pending issues: Updates for BN (missing two 5GHz bands) and KR, see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/30811 DE domains misses some 5GHz bands due to confusing documents from the Bundesnetzagentur: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/30803
