Hi Changes: http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges added this request: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13486 broken binary modules: - aufs - lirc Please maintainers of those packages fix those.

by Douglas Soares de Andrade 08 Apr '09

Hi all, I was going to update monotone and it is now needing another lib called botan: http://botan.randombit.net/news/ I have both compiled here, so, are we going to add botan to extra or remove monotone and send it to unsupported ? Thanks

[arch-dev-public] Remove unionfs from kernel package in favour of aufs2?
by Tobias Powalowski 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi, It seems both filesystems at the same time in the kernel is not working for aufs2. I prepared a new kernel which removes unionfs completely and only adds aufs2 to kernel package, to fix the functionality of aufs2. I can check this one in to testing if you want that. - Added also aufs to replace line. Thanks for your input. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] new package: xf86-video-intel-legacy
by Jan de Groot 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hello Intel users, There's a new package in testing (x86_64 only at this moment, i686 will follow later today) called "xf86-video-intel-legacy". This is the old 2.3.2 driver, patched to support xorg-server 1.6 and newer versions of libdrm. Users with pre-G965 hardware who suffer from performance issues with the current -intel driver should test this release. Note that this driver is rather old and doesn't contain support for all the new hardware around these days. G965+ users should be better off with the normal intel driver. I hope this driver can replace the need for the old i915 repository maintained by a community member. If this is the case, expect xorg-server 1.6 to be moving to extra soon.
