[arch-dev-public] db6 rebuild dropped - new ToDo list
by Andreas Radke 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Due to the license change in db5 (MIT style) to db6 (AGPLv3) we drop the db6 update and will keep db5 in core for now. Berkeley db5 won't see much further updates if any at all. We should check each package that now links to it if that functionality is essentially required. I'm going to remove all db bump related packages from staging repo. I'm also going to revert the ToDo list to incomplete for each pkg for checking if a pkg can be build without db support. On the long run we should move db in a first step to extra and maybe later drop it completely. So go on and fix svn trunk to the old state or rebuild it to testing repo without db support wherever possible without loosing important features and mark the ToDo list. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] Dropping sysvinit-tools
by Dave Reisner 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

The next release of procps-ng will contain pidof and clash with sysvinit-tools. The obvious decision is to use the maintained source of pidof. At this point, we'll be left with 3 binaries in sysvinit-tools, all which I propose are all obsolete: fstab-decode, killall5, and bootlogd. I'm open to arguments against this, but I suggest we drop sysvinit-tools after pidof is part of a release from procps-ng. Cheers, Dave

[arch-dev-public] Dropping bluez4
by Tom Gundersen 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Hi guys, Once pulseaudio and bluedevil moves out of [testing], the only official package depending on bluez4 will be blueman. As blueman was last released two years ago, and last upstream activity was more than one year ago and that bluez4 is no longer developed upstream at all, I suggest dropping both of them from the repositories. Any objections? Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] lirc kernel drivers
by Tom Gundersen 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Hi guys, As lirc package is currently an orphan, I thought I'd had a look at it to see if we can clean it up. Most of the lirc kernel drivers are now upstream, so we only ship three of them: *) lirc_atiusb: this overlaps with ati_remote [0] which is upstream. This is bad as it means users will essentially get a random driver loaded unless one of the two are blacklisted. Moreover, it is not possible to use both driver at the same time for different devices. It seems to me based on [1], that there is reason to doubt the validity of the modaliases that lirc_atiusb supports but ati_remote does not. I therefore suggest we drop lirc_atiusb and if there is fallout from this we try to fix that in ati_remote upstream (e.g. add missing modaliases). *) lirc_i2c: this was removed from staging in [2], as the functionality is replaced by ir-kbd-i2c (which appears to be written mostly by the same people). I suggest we remove this driver too as it appears to be redundant (though it has no autoloading support as far as I can tell, so probably less harmful). *) lirc_wpc8769l: I suggest we keep this as the only remaining module for now. Based on comments in winbond-cir [3], that driver can probably be extended to support WEC102* (WPC8769L is WEC1020). I'll get in touch with the maintainers to check it out. Any comments? Tom [0] compare the aliases as shown by 'modinfo'.
