The first two are symlinks, the last is a real file. Is it possible that overwriting a symlink with the file it links to could fail?

[arch-dev-public] KDE 4.3 rebuilds
by Pierre Schmitz 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hi devs, I have added a (very short) rebuild list to the todo site. Changes will be commited to trunk but the package will stay in kde-unstable for now. So be aware that once this is done you should not use trunk to build packages for extra. Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] kde-unstable -> trunk
by Pierre Schmitz 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Moin, FYI: I'll move kde-unstable with trunk. That means if we need to update a KDE 4.2 package in extra this week we have to make sure not to build it from trunk. Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] openvpn 2.1_rc19-1
by Thomas Bächler 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Changes: - Updated to the 2.1 branch - Removed useless .install file - Moved plugins to /usr/lib/openvpn and made this the default plugin search path (i.e. plugins in that directory will be found when the plugin directive does is not an absolute path) - Moved example configuration to /usr/share/openvpn - Add openvpn rc.d script that launches an openvpn daemon for /etc/openvpn/*.conf and kills each openvpn with a pidfile in /var/run/openvpn/*.pid - Add openvpn-tapdev script that is to be added before the network script. It creates persistent tap devices as configured in /etc/conf.d/openvpn-tapdev that can be used for bridging. Tested on x86_64, please sign off.

[arch-dev-public] News item: vc/* to tty* transition
by Allan McRae 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

I suppose we need a news item for this so here is a draft: [draft] Transition from vc/* to tty* standard With the update to initscripts-2009.07, we are transitioning from the old vc/* style devices to the current standard of tty*. This transition involves updates to the filesystem, initscripts, syslog-ng and udev packages. As always, users should update all packages at the same time rather than individual packages. The initscripts update requires adjusting the /etc/inittab file to refer to tty* instead of vc/*. Due to severe system breakages if this file is not updated, this will be automatically handled by pacman. The original /etc/inittab file is saved as /etc/inittab.pacsave. However, it is important that all users check the changes made to this file (and even better, completely merge the .pacnew file). [/draft] Comments? Allan

[arch-dev-public] Vim breakage...again
by Dan McGee 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

What the heck is going on? I spent a good hour or two rebuilding the vim plugins for the correct location when vim first went into [testing] a few months ago, and with this new vim in testing, they are once again *all* broken. This is unacceptable as far as I am concerned. If I'm the only one that thinks so, I'll quiet down a bit, but I am getting awfully frustrated with this. If we move plugin locations or distro install locations, *all* packages dependent on this location need to be rebuilt. I even made it 10 times easier to do so by putting the path in a shell script variable! -Dan dmcgee@galway /etc $ pacman -Sl testing | grep 'vim-' testing vim-a 2.18-3 testing vim-bufexplorer 7.2.2-2 testing vim-buftabs 0.13-1 testing vim-colorsamplerpack 6.0-2 testing vim-doxygentoolkit 0.2.4-1 testing vim-guicolorscheme 1.2-1 testing vim-matchit 1.13.2-1 testing vim-minibufexpl 6.3.2-5 testing vim-omnicppcomplete 0.4.1-2 testing vim-project 1.4.1-3 testing vim-taglist 45-2 testing vim-vcscommand 29-2 testing vim-workspace 1.0b1-3
