[arch-dev-public] [signoff] [extra] postfix 3.5.9-1
by David Runge 22 Jan '21

Hi! I have just upgraded postfix to 3.5.9. The package has been split to allow specific installations based on requirements while not pulling in all of the backends at once: postfix postfix-cdb postfix-ldap postfix-lmdb postfix-mysql postfix-pcre postfix-pgsql postfix-sqlite Please do test the integration of the split-out optional dependencies with postfix to see whether everything still works as expected. Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-dev-public] Archinstall in [extra]
by Giancarlo Razzolini 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

Fellow Archers, As you might have noticed, archinstall[0] has been added to the [extra] repository. Over the past months we have been discussing the potential addition of an installer to our installation medium internally with our staff. Dave mentioned archinstall in his archiso talk during Arch Conf[1], outlining why we think it might be a good fit for a non default TUI based installer for Arch. To make it easier for contributors to find and fix bugs when testing archinstall, before it is added to the installation medium as a package, we have added it to the repositories for ease of use. Please note, that only installations done using the official installation guide are supported[2]. Installations done using archinstall are *unsupported* by our support staff until further notice. Any issues with installations based on archinstall should be reported to upstream directly[3]. This might change in the future, and users will be informed accordingly. Happy testing!

[arch-dev-public] News draft: Manual pages indexing service
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 12 Jan '21

Hey all, lahwaacz made a service for collecting and displaying manpages from our packages that we now operate at man.archlinux.org. I believe this is news-post worthy. --- Title: man.archlinux.org is live We are happy to announce our newest public service: A manual pages indexing site at [man.archlinux.org](https://man.archlinux.org) that publishes all man pages of all our packages and allows you to [search](https://man.archlinux.org/search) and [browse](https://man.archlinux.org/listing) them. Check out, for example, the [man page of tar](https://man.archlinux.org/man/core/tar/tar.1.en). You can also find a link to this service in our sidebar. Thanks to Wiki Admin [lahwaacz](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Lahwaacz) for developing [archmanweb](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archmanweb) for this purpose. While there are other man page indexing sites out there, it is our hope that publishing man pages that match the version of our released packages makes Arch more accessible and that it improves our documentation even further. --- Thoughts? Cheers, Sven
