[arch-dev-public] Bringing WindowMaker forward
by Daniel Isenmann 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, I know that most of you doesn't really use WindowMaker or think it's obsolete. Nevertheless I use it daily at my main desktop and I'm very happy with it. Sadly there were no release since 4 years! :( At the moment there are some very active developers which forked the actual last CVS snapshot of WindowMaker and doing a lot of work with new features and bugfixes. The mailinglist of WindowMaker is very active with those developers and it looks promising. I have used there GIT snapshot since a few days and it looks very good. I would like to replace our official package with a regular updated GIT snapshot package to give the new developers as much feedback as possible and to give our WindowMaker users a more fresh WindowMaker than the 4 years old one. Any objections in doing this? Cheers, Daniel

[arch-dev-public] openldap build options
by Allan McRae 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, For the upcoming {lib,open}ldap update, there are a few bug that can be addressed: FS#12946 - [openldap] Please unsplit I see no issue with joining openldap and openldap-clients. It adds no new deps to openldap and only increases the package size by a small amount. Any reason they were split? I understand the splitting of libldap. FS#14598 - [openldap] enable slapd overlays (slapo) This is a tougher one... Adding the "--enable-overlays=mod --enable-modules=yes" configure flags results in a whole lot of libtools files that appear to actually be needed (binaries link to libltdl). I know not a lot about this so am unsure how to proceed. As an aside, we will probably end up being the only Linux distro with files in this package linked to libfetch. Allan

[arch-dev-public] Search binary file bug
by Aaron Griffin 13 Sep '09

Forwarding this on because it's reproducible using "myadmin" (I tried). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sammie S. Taunton <diemuzi(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Sep 13, 2009 at 12:29 PM Subject: weird search bug To: aaron(a)archlinux.org Hello, I can't explain it so maybe you'll have a random guess at it. But I'm using the latest firefox version and I went to search for a package (phpmyadmin) and it returns a downloadable mimetype of application/octet-stream However using IE, it works just fine. So just for giggles I tried searching for myadmin and same thing. Every other package I'm searching for works just fine lol. So I dunno haha ~ Sammie

[arch-dev-public] [Fwd: [pacman-dev] wiki trouble]

Forwarding to arch-dev-public -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [pacman-dev] wiki trouble Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 21:55:27 -0400 From: Jeff <jeff(a)kcaccess.com> Reply-To: Discussion list for pacman development <pacman-dev(a)archlinux.org> To: pacman-dev(a)archlinux.org I really hate that I'm sending to this list, but as this problem is a wiki / mail server issue and I can't find an explicitly relevant forum topic, mailing list, or flyspray category, I'm posting here. The wiki is trying to send out confirmation emails as wiki(a)web.archlinux.org which isn't a valid domain and is therefore rejected by my mail server. -- Jeff My other computer is an abacus.

[arch-dev-public] Bluez maintainership
by Jan de Groot 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

I'm building GNOME 2.27.92 at this moment, and I'm coming to the point where I have to package gnome-bluetooth. This package depends on a new package called obexd, which seems to be in SVN, but not in the repositories. It looks like something that was left behind, or just never finished. Trying to finish this package, I found out that we have bluez 4.39 in the repositories, while upstream is at 4.53, which is so many versions ahead that 4.39 doesn't even shop up in history anymore. If I can recall, I was the one who updated bluez to 4.39 a few months ago. I'm not the official Bluetooth maintainer, and it's not my intention to become the official bluetooth maintainer either. I thought we attracted a developer for this, but somehow there's nothing done with bluez maintenance after the initial bump to the 4.x version.
