[arch-dev-public] worth adding a "man-db" group + setuid for page caching?
by Andreas Radke 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Please have a look at the man page caching feature request: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13694 Do we want to add it? I don't know how much the speed gain could be on slow systems. All my systems are very fast even with complex and long pages. Opinions? -Andy

[arch-dev-public] mkinitcpio performance
by Dan McGee 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Mostly Aaron/Thomas, Did you guys happen to see this? http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=617286 http://students.mimuw.edu.pl/~kk219459/mkinitcpio/ This guy made mkinitcpio 3-4 times faster (he claims). I can believe it, and although it runs quite fast on my quad-core desktop box, it definitely crawls on my Eee. You might have to poke him to provide diffs and separate patches, but he does seem willing to help you guys out. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] kernel26-lts 2.6.27.33-1
by Andreas Radke 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

New LTS kernel. No changes to the config, no further patching. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/887240 and because of a build issue http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/887529 I'd like to move it soon to core. Please give signoffs. If you don't use it try it out if it works for you as fallback and can boot into shell with a clean dmesg. Thanks. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] Do I need a sign-off for this...
by Allan McRae 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi, The current heimdal package does not build due to an autoconf update (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16015). I have a patch that can be applied to fix that but I do not particularly want to rebuild given it does not affect the actual package. It is also a bit of a waste of time applying the patch only to trunk as a new heimdal release will occur before any rebuild is likely to be needed. Can I apply the patch and archrelease core-{i686,x86_64} or would that require a sign-off? Allan

[arch-dev-public] evms in [testing]
by Allan McRae 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

I rebuilt evms to fix FS#16079. This moved various files to /sbin and /lib to allow systems with /usr on a separate EVMS volume. I also added a couple of upstream patches, a patch for the --as-needed flag and removed the install file (covered by optdepends). As I do not use EVMS, I would like reports of it still working before I move it to [extra]. This is one occasion where it is safe to install a single package from the [testing] repo. Allan

[arch-dev-public] adding support for Intel Atom-330/nVidia based motherboards sensors
by Tobias Powalowski 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hi guys, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1199797&page=1 http://mabene.icomedias.com/coretemp.patch got a mail about this kernel patch, i think it looks safe. Any objections in adding it before releasing 2.6.30.6? It will be not included in the .31 series. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
