[arch-dev-public] changing nfs-utils to support nfs4
by Tobias Powalowski 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Hi guys, our current nfs-utils don't support nfs4, Based on nfs-utils from AUR we could support nfs4 rather easily. Any objections in putting this to testing and later to core repository? thanks greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

The gamin package contains a drop-in replacement libfam.so library, so applications linked against fam can work with gamin.

[arch-dev-public] Remove tuxracer from [extra]
by Allan McRae 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Hi, Tuxracer has been dead since 2001 and all its levels are included in the currently developed fork extremetuxracer which is in [community]. I have had a bug reported against it (FS#15003) and expect to never find a solution given most distros have moved on to the fork. Any objects to moving it to the AUR? Allan

[arch-dev-public] Removing fam from [extra]
by Allan McRae 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Hi, I would like to remove fam from [extra]. It is old, uses dnotify rather than the better inotify and does not build without lots of patches. It seems the patches we do use create Arch specific issues with log file filling (FS#14623). Finally, gamin does most of the job fam does but better and it is currently in the [community] repo. Any objections? Also, should I bring gamin to [extra] as a replacement or leave it in [community]? I really do not care which.... Allan

[arch-dev-public] [kde-unstable] re-enabled
by Andrea Scarpino 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Hi ML, only let you know the repository kde-unstable is again active. I packaged with Pierre KDE 4.3 beta2; at the moment packages are more big then previous because we enabled the DEBUG build option, but we will disable it soon: there are few vantages and many disadvantages to keep it. Pierre talked with Allan who said that pacman 3.3 will be out soon, so we are working to split KDE packages. Will be nice to have splitted packages in time to the new KDE release. Have a good day Cheers -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[arch-dev-public] dbscripts [PATCH] compute compression option from file extension
by Pierre Schmitz 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Hi, as I noticed in the xz-utils signoff thread my assumption that bsdtar is able to detect the wanted compression type on its own was wrong. So here is a small patch to correct this in our db-scripts. My other patches should not be affected.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] module-init-tools 3.8-1
by Allan McRae 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Upstream update to module-init-tools-3.8. Main changes are that it expects all configuration files in /etc/modprode.d so /etc/modprobe.conf has move there. Also, all files in /etc/modprobe.d are expected to end with .conf so this required rebuilding udev, filesystem and v86d. Signoff both arches. Allan
