[arch-dev-public] Retiring hal
by Jan de Groot 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

As all major projects (KDE, XFCE and GNOME, Xorg) have been ported to udev/upower/udisks instead of hal, I would like to retire hal from our distribution. Right now we have several open bugs in hal. Some are packaging bugs, some are upstream bugs that will never get fixed. Upstream development for hal is completely dead and so should our hal package. I see no reason to keep hal in our distribution anymore, so I already went ahead a bit and built gnome-vfs without hal support. Other packages will follow soon and when all is done hal can be removed.

Hi since removing tiacx modules from core, do we need the firmware in core anymore? I think that can be removed then. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] [away] 19/06 - 30/06
by Ronald van Haren 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi all, I'll be in Italy for a work related trip between 19/06 (tomorrow) and 30/06. If someone is in Turin tomorrow let me know, I have quite some hours to kill before I get picked up at the airport to travel further to my destination. Either way, I'm not sure if and how much I'll be connected to the internet as I don't know in what hotel I'll be in and if it has wifi. So I may be inactive or not, I don't know. Cheers, Ronald

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mkinitcpio 0.7-1, device-mapper/lvm2 2.02.85-3, dmraid 1.0.0.rc16.3-2, mdadm 3.2.2-2, v86d 0.1.10-2
by Thomas Bächler 01 Jul '11

This is a huge release and should stay in testing for a while. I want to point out two significant changes: 1) We now have a build() function instead of an install() function - the latter was an unfortunate conflict with the install utility. The hooks in the repository have been adjusted, but backward-compatibility code is in place (a deprecation warning will be printed). All these packages have conflicts=(mkinitcpio<0.7). 2) We now use bsdcpio instead of gen_init_cpio. This obsoletes the gen_init_cpio package and adds a dependency on libarchive. This also speeds up the image generation considerably. Other changes include massive cleanups and fixes, code refactoring, and changes that should finally make the -b (basedir) option useful. Please test and sign off. Here comes the full shortlog: Dave Reisner (52): init: don't attempt modprobe if $MODULES is empty mkinitcpio.conf: s/raid/mdadm/ mkinitcpio: deprecate install() in install hooks dmesg: remove install/hook functions: cleanup and refactor add_binary functions: refactor add_module functions: remove add_device functions: remove add_symlink2 use bsdcpio to create images functions: refactor add_file functions: document hook API mkinitcpio.conf: note implicit support for lzop mkinitcpio: use simple PEs instead of externals mkinitcpio: allow specifying kernel ver as path to image lsinitcpio: new utility to dump contents of images Makefile: refactor and simplify mkinitcpio: bashify preset build loop use consistent vim modelines declare all variables in mkinitcpio mkinitcpio: refactor and bashify early path calculations declare SAVELIST, QUIET, SHOW_AUTOMODS as faux booleans mkinitcpio: remove cruft in getopts loop overhaul output, introducing color functions: refactor add_symlink functions: simplify parse_hook mkinitcpio: bashification, part 1/2 mkinitcpio: bashification, part 2/2 add -t option to specify alternate build directory install/keymap: refactor and bashify mkinitcpio: declare usage as a heredoc remove support for -m to add a startup message install/base: cleanup and simplify functions: remove get_module_name init: declare PATH, remove absolute paths init: remove unnecessary variable declarations mkinitcpio: allow overriding the compression method mkinitcpio: only show usage on request mkinitcpio.5: alphabetize options for easier nav README: update copyright year, add self as author mkinitcpio: catch errors in parse_hook add a PKGBUILD for easier testing from the repo mkinitcpio: allow absolute paths to preset files install/{sata,pata,scsi}: cleanup and simplify properly support $BASEDIR install/autodetect: refactor and simplify hook functions: support $BASEDIR in modprobe Makefile: the Makefile itself is a dep for the manpage functions: add missing 'command' before install functions: s/basedir/BASEDIR/ functions: fix pathing issue with $BASEDIR install/base: use private API call to add config mkinitcpio: fix resolution issues with RTLD Eric Bélanger (1): Added usbinput to default hooks (implements FS#19328) Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi (3): Fix some install hooks due recent change in all_modules() Add missing /etc/bash_completion.d in Makefile Add asciidoc as makedepends in private PKGBUILD.

We had to add ugly compat packages because liblrdf and soprano can't be ported to the latest releases. Please test if anything went broken. The packages shouldn't stay long in testing. -Andy
