[arch-dev-public] (partially) Inactive
by Andrea Scarpino 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi all, I will be inactive because I switched to a new ISP, so I will be without an internet connection for a $time (one or two weeks). I am an university student so I can use from 08AM to 07PM (GMT+1) the wireless connection at my university but it is over HTTP proxy: I will cannot use ssh/cvs/git/ftp/irc/jabber protocols. I hope to be totally active soon. Cheers -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

If any bugfixing or rebuild is requiered I will have to patch it for the new gcc. That's packager's life in a rolling release system :S Feel free to move this toolchain or wait for new glibc and next kernel. -Andy

Upstream bug fix release. * Fix more cdf lossage. All the documents I have right now print the correct information. * don't print \012- separators in the same magic entry if it consists of multiple magic printing lines. * Avoid file descriptor leak in compress code from (Daniel Novotny) * Allow escaping of relation characters, so that we can say \^[A-Z] and the ^ is not eaten as a relation char. * Fix troff and fortran to their previous glory using regex. This was broken since their removel from ascmagic. * don't use strlen in strndup() (Toby Peterson) * avoid c99 syntax. * make the cdf code use the buffer first if available, and then the fd code. * look for struct option to determine if getopt.h is usable for IRIX. * sanitize cdf document strings * fix OS/2 warnings.

[arch-dev-public] wxgtk and wxpython in [testing]
by Eric Bélanger 05 May '09

05 May '09

Hi, I've updated wxgtk to 2.8.10. Although there was no soname bump, I had to rebuild wxpython because of a symbol error. I've checked other packages using wxgtk or wxpython and they were working fine. I've put both updates of wxgtk and wxpython in testing just to be sure. If you maintain/use packages that depends on them, please test and report any problems. Eric

[arch-dev-public] ttf-ms-fonts (WAS: Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] New feature: files verification)

That package has no place in Arch anyway. It's non-free, unnecessary and improperly packaged. There are good alternatives (ttf-freefont should be okay, also the standard Xorg fonts are enough IMO). AUR has a proper package for this, so people who need it can build that. I say we drop it, as it does not meet Arch's packaging standards.

[arch-dev-public] What happened to QCA plugins?
by Thomas Bächler 04 May '09

04 May '09

What happened to the QCA plugins? In 2.0.1, they were included in qca, but in the next minor update 2.0.2, they are not compiled with it. I am especially missing the gnupg plugin. Do we now have to compile all plugins separately? Anyone in favor of adding the other plugins (only qca-ossl is there now) to extra as well?

[arch-dev-public] ffmpeg and x264 update/rebuild in testing
by Eric Bélanger 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hi, I've just put an updated ffmpeg and x264 in testing. I've updated ffmpeg to the latest stable version (0.5) that was released recently and x264 was updated to the latest snapshot. The x264 library has a soname bump so the following packages have been rebuilt: mplayer avidemux gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins vlc opal Because the ffmpeg version scheme change (20090217 -> 0.5) was causing problem on pacman update, I also had to rebuild the following packages to change their ffmpeg versioned dependency: cmus k3b motion nuvexport sox transcode xine-lib Some notes: - nuvexport was out-of-date so I updated it. - Concerning mplayer, I haven't done any changes related to the GUI. However, I changed the libcaca makedepends to a depends. Please test and report any problems.
