minor upstream update. please signoff. -Andy The file... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2009c.tar.gz ...is now available; this reflects the change to the start of Cuban DST circulated last week on the time zone mailing list. I'm holding off on a San Luis (Argentina) change pending investigation of whether they plan to switch clocks every year. --ado

[arch-dev-public] aufs / unionfs / aufs2
by Thomas Bächler 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Okay, I received a few mails from Christopher Rogers who played with these filesystems and 2.6.29. According to his statements, he could get aufs2 to compile, but it only actually worked when he omitted the unionfs patch. Maintaining this patch mess has been a PITA, so I say we have a choice here: Choose one and drop the rest. I think aufs should not be considered, but only unionfs or aufs2. I don't use these, but the people who do should give some input on which one to choose.

[arch-dev-public] Adding two packages to [core]
by Allan McRae 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Hi, With gcc-4.4 nearing release (once licensing issues are resolved), I will be adding two new deps for gcc to the [core] repo. PPL and Cloog-PPL are required for graphite optimizations which were merged in gcc-4.4. A default ppl install is 15MB of libraries etc and 20MB of documentation so I will be building it with "!docs".

by Aaron Griffin 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

So bash 4.0 is out, and there's lots of neat little changes, but this also requires readline 6.0, which is a big old nasty soname change. Unless anyone has any objections, I'd like to do these upgrades tonight and put everything in testing if it all goes as plans. Any problems with that? Packages affected, according to the web interface: * abook * afterstep * archboot * bash * bc * cdcd * clisp * device-mapper * freeciv * fvwm * fvwm-devel * gftp * gnuchess * gnutls * gphoto2 * gutenprint * hugs98 * inetutils * jack-audio-connection-kit * lftp * libxml2 * lua * maxima * mysql-clients * ntp * pal * php * pilot-link * postgresql-libs * python24 * r * ratpoison * rosegarden * ruby * socat * sqlite3 * sqlite3 (testing) * swi-prolog * tunepimp * uml_utilities * unixodbc * wvstreams

[arch-dev-public] libwebkit .so bump
by Andreas Radke 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

I've updated libwebkit in the testing repo to a recent nightly snapshot. It requires new libsoup that also adds cookie support. This introduced a .so name bump. I've already updated midori. Maybe there are more rebuilds required. Please check all packages that (opt)depend on libwebkit. -Andy
