[arch-dev-public] rfkill package
by Thomas Bächler 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

I noticed that the rfkill package is in community now (very good). However, I have been asked if it was possible to make a few improvements: 1) Add a rfkill group (or use an existing group) and allow that group to write /dev/rfkill using udev (if we add a group, we should do that in the filesystem package, not the rfkill package). Apparently, some desktop applications would like to set the rfkill state, so this way we could allow that. 2) Add an init script that can optionally unblock wifi, bluetooth or anything else on boot. In the past, some devices were soft-blocked on boot by default (is this still an issue?), so this could be improved. Maybe we should even move this to extra or even core. Giovanni, this seems to be your package, what do you think?

Hi, since qemu/qemu-kvm 0.12.x kqemu is no longer supported. kqemu package is removed from the repositories, if you still need kqemu support please compile 0.11 series and kqemu module yourself. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] x264/ffmpeg rebuilds
by Allan McRae 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hi, There has been a TODO list waiting for x264/ffmpeg rebuilds for quite some time now. How about we attack these after the boost builds move? Anyone want to prepare these builds so we can get the soname changes and make a complete rebuild list? Allan

Hi guys, the latest qemu version removed kqemu support. Do we need a News announcement for this? Is it enough to posts this to the mailinglists? We can remove kqemu from extra repository now. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] inetutils 1.7-1
by Eric Bélanger 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Hi, inetutils-1.7-1 is in testing. Upstream ChangeLog below. Important package change is that the rexec binary in the package is now the new one from inetutils (the inetutils in core use the one from netkit). Please test and signoff. Eric ============= December 16, 2009 Version 1.7: * ping New option --timeout=N, stop sending packets after N seconds. * New logger implementation The `logger' utility has been rewritten from scratch. The new implementation offers many new facilities. In particular, it is able to send messages to system loggers on remote machines, and to supply the PID number to include in messages, instead of the PID of the `logger' process. * Restore the traditional behavior of ping without -c option. * The manual is now licensed under the GNU FDL version 1.3 or later. * rexec New program. * tftp Command line parsing now uses argp. * Man pages for all tools are generated using help2man.
