by Allan McRae 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

Hi all, With most stuff moved out of [testing], it is a good time to clean up what is left. Here goes a slightly annotated list: Just pkgrel bumps - rebuilds for something? ccrtp cdrkit cracklib libzrtpcpp proftpd squid archboot aspell-es, aspell-it, aspell-pt - move? Basic testing indicates they work autofs - been in [testing] for ages... dnsmasq empathy, libtelepathy, telepathy-glib, telepathy-mission-control - Little developer interest. Leave to the AUR? ghc - minor pkgver bump. Why in [testing]? kdevelop, kdevplatform, krusader - all beta releases libfetch - pacman-3.3 preparation madwifi-utils - should have been moved with madwifi (?) ppl, cloog-ppl - preparation for gcc-4.4 Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] less-429-1
by Allan McRae 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

Upstream update: These are the differences between version 418 and version 429: * LESSOPEN pipe will now be used on standard input, if the LESSOPEN environment variable begins with "|-". * The -D option with one number now means use the normal background color. * Don't change permissions on history file if it is not a regular file. * Fix non-ANSI-compliant code that caused problems with some compilers. * Fix binary file detection in UTF-8 mode. * Fix display problems with long lines on "ignaw" terminals. * Fix problem interrupting the line number calculation for initial prompt. * Fix SGR emulation when dealing with multiple attributes (eg. bold+underline). * Fix highlight bug when searching for underlined/overstruck text. * New "&" command allows filtering of lines based on a pattern. * Status column now displays a search match, even if the matched string is scrolled off screen because -S is in effect. * Improve behavior of -F option. * Allow CSI character (0x9B) to work in UTF-8 mode. * Output carriage return at startup in case terminal doesn't default to column 1. * Fix bug in '' (quote, quote) command after G command.

[arch-dev-public] Removal of zope2 and zope from extra
by Douglas Soares de Andrade 12 Apr '09

12 Apr '09

Hi guys, I would like to remove zope and zope2 from extra, as they are not correctly packaged and i have the following points to dont use then anymore: - They have only 0.10 ~ 0.15 users - They are not correctly packaged - Zope3 is not heavily used (its libs are quite a lot used) - Plone does not work with this zope2 package (which renders it almost unusable) - With the new tecnologies like buildout there is no need for building a Zope package Note that i will keep zope.interface in extra, as it is a very used package and it is a dep for twisted. So i would like to remove then (zope2 and zope) asap and kill 2 bugs on my queue. Thoughts ?

[arch-dev-public] Xorg-server 1.6.0 moves to extra
by Jan de Groot 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Xorg-server 1.6.0 and its related drivers will make their move to extra. This new release features input device properties, DRI2 and kernel modesetting (KMS). Note that DRI2 and KMS are only implemented by the Intel driver at this moment. This release also comes with a new driver: xf86-video-intel-legacy. This driver is an old intel driver version, patched to support recent xorg-server versions. This driver should be used by people having problems with the newer xf86-video-intel driver. People still using xorg-server 1.4.2 are advised to upgrade and replace intel or i810 drivers with the legacy driver.

[arch-dev-public] Status of MySQL
by Douglas Soares de Andrade 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Hi guys, Im having a really hard time with myodbc update (as it is the only dep for the move to extra). Well, all i have to say is that i does not work at all with the latest mysql 5.1, so this is a stopper 'til the release of myodbc 5.1.6. So, what do i do ? Can i move mysql and all its things to extra ? We will have to wait mysql devs ? <furious_mode> Everything done by mysql (except the server) is a HELL to build, i really hope postgresql take over it someday. Release mysql 5.1 without testing myodbc compatibility - #MEGAULTRAFAIL </furious_mode> Well, now that im feeling way better, what should we do ?
