[arch-dev-public] [Patch] makechrootpkg: fixed support for splitted package
by Eric Bélanger 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hi, Here (inline and attached) are a couple of patches for makechrootpkg. ==> Remove error message when namcap is not installed in chroot (not sure why this line was added as installing namcap in chroot will dirty it).

[arch-dev-public] Default LDFLAGS for official packages
by Thomas Bächler 15 Aug '09

15 Aug '09

I think we should agree on a default LDFLAGS setting for our official packages. In the pacman signoff thread, it was suggested to use -Wl,--as-needed and later also -Wl,--no-undefined (and more). Can we compose a default LDFLAGS line that we all should use?

[arch-dev-public] icon theme caches
by Jan de Groot 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

As implemented in namcap, namcap now checks for the cache updating in /usr/share/icons/hicolor. I would like to extend this policy to /usr/share/icons/gnome also for 2.28. At this moment only gnome-icon-theme should be affected, but I don't know if there's other icon themes or applications installing icons there. # find /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ -type f | wc -l 616 # find /usr/share/icons/gnome/ -type f | wc -l 3002 Makes sense to cache gnome also then. There's some other themes extending the gnome theme, hicolor is default always, so caching this will make gnome applications a lot faster when doing icon lookup.

[arch-dev-public] Shirts for FrOSCon
by Daniel Isenmann 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, I'm preparing shirts for our meeting at FrOSCon. At the moment the shop which will produce the shirt is checking the vector graphics of our logo which I have sent to him. If he accept it, I will create a shirt and send the preview of it as reply to this mail. If you want a shirt then just reply after you have seen the preview, give me your shirt size and I will bring the shirts to FrOSCon. To limit the order, this is just for the devs/helpers who will meet at FrOSCon. The logo will be http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/arch/Artwork/archlinux-official-vertical-… large at the back of the shirt. Nothing on the front or as an alternative the logo large on the front and nothing on the back. That's because of the print method which isn't able to print small and tiny lines and to keep it relative cheap.

[arch-dev-public] Back && [signoff] wireless-regdb
by Thomas Bächler 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

I didn't catch up on mailing list stuff yet (and didn't update my system yet) but I am back home. Now, I already uploaded wireless-regdb to 2009.08.05 and made it an -any package. I was confused though, does anyone know why/since when the repos/ directory in wireless-regdb is empty? The old core-{i686,x86_64} directories are missing. Anyway, please sign off on wireless-regdb (since it's an -any package, I guess that only one additional signoff is needed).
