We have alternate tftp > implementations, right? Hrm, i think pxelinux needs this tftp and gentoo builds it the same way, if we start to pick on those it's horrible. I never heared that bsd licensed software isn't allowed to link against gpl software. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] Linux Vacation / Eastern Europe
by Roman Kyrylych 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hi all! Just wanted to inform you that I will be on LVEE (http://lvee.org/en/conference) next week. I won't be doing any official speech there, maybe next year I will think about that too. Not sure if there will be some Arch Linux users though, but 4 days outside a city and without the internet (ouch!) sounds interesting. :-) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

The result was again a broken mysql. So its eems its not mysql itself but one of its static deps or gcc. It seems the old package was build with gcc 4.3. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] Preparing for libjpeg update
by Allan McRae 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi all, This weekend should see the release of the first update for libjpeg in several years. Everything remains API compatible so this should be just a simple rebuild... of 130 packages from [extra]. That is too many packages for any sane person and double the number of the readline rebuilds so I will need some help. I will deal with the packages that are needed as dependencies for many other packages first. The full list is given below and I will create a TODO list closer to the time so that we can keep track of what has been done. Given this is going to be a rather large rebuild, I will hold off until the readline rebuilds are moved from [testing]. I guess these can probably move before the weekend anyway.
