[arch-dev-public] subversion rebuild needed for i686
by Firmicus 31 May '09

31 May '09

Re: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14832 Could someone please rebuild subversion for i686? Something fishy with Berkeley DB on my standard system prevented building one library, and building in a clean chroot resulted in a java-related error. So I did the best I could, but I have failed miserably :( F

So may I request now to move lzma-utils' successor http://tukaani.org/xz/ to be put into testing for some time and later to core? (lzma-utils is François' pkg right now) -Andy

[arch-dev-public] testing repo clean-up
by Allan McRae 31 May '09

31 May '09

Hi all, I thought that with no major rebuilds happening now, it would be good to get [testing] as cleared out as possible. Here is a summary of what is in the repo: Waiting for signoff: automake capi4k-utils (may move to extra?) dmraid lilo (time based sign-offs given) mkinitcpio openswan (needs a maintainer - sorf of signed off) openvpn (time base sign-off...) Is this a leftover from the libcap rebuilds? proftpd Some sort of rebuild - can these be moved? ccrtp libzrtpcpp (out-of-date) Beta KDE stuff: kaffeine kdevelop kdevplatform konversation Misc other stuff in [testing]: archboot libfetch netcfg (beta) squirrelmail (recent update) vi, vim, gvim Allan

Re: [arch-dev-public] [arch-events] FrOSCon 2009
by Thomas Bächler 30 May '09

30 May '09

I am sending a copy of this to the dev list, as few people read the events list: I have registered the Arch Linux project at the FrOSCon website. So far, these people have confirmed their participation: Andy Daniel (ise) Jens (byte) Pierre Thomas (me) With a big maybe: Christoph (delmonico) An even bigger maybe: Jan (JGC) All of you should register at https://callforprojects.froscon.org/ and join the Arch Linux project there. Also, others might consider joining us (Ronald is from the Netherlands and Dieter is from Belgium, so it's not too far for them (any of you guys interested?), of course anyone from our dev or TU team can join us, please write to the arch-events list or reply to this email). We should get a booth (with 2 tables this time, yay) and a room for both days if they accept our application. I think we should at least have posters and CDs this year, presentation machines and maybe more cool stuff, ideas are welcome.
