[arch-dev-public] News draft: nvidia 455.28 is incompatible with linux >= 5.9
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

nvidia is currently partially incompatible with linux >= 5.9 [1][2]. While graphics should work fine, CUDA and OpenCL are broken. Users who've already upgraded and need those features are advised to switch to the linux-lts kernel for the time being.

David, following the concerns raised on IRC [1], is this todo getting canceled? [1] no prior discussion, library with stable soname, prioritization and scalability of adding sodeps to more packages

Hi, Due to lack of free time, I've orphaned some packages I don't want to think about: bash bash-completion chrome-gnome-shell expat gdbm libcap libffi libunistring libusb networkmanager-fortisslvpn ncurses openfortivpn readline texinfo wpa_supplicant I've also disowned some packages I've been co-maintaining with other packagers but that's not so interesting.

[arch-dev-public] Congrats to the Arch Conf Team
by Allan McRae 12 Oct '20

12 Oct '20

A big shout out to the Arch Conf Team! This weekend's conference was nothing short of awesome. It pulled together very well, particularly given the short organisation period and it being the first one run online. The recorded talks followed by live Q&A worked very well, and I enjoyed the live commentary by the community either on IRC or twitch. Looking forward to next year! :) Allan

[arch-dev-public] News draft: ghostpcl>=9.53.2-2 and ghostxps>=9.53.2-2 updates require manual intervention
by Jan Alexander Steffens 27 Sep '20

27 Sep '20

The ghostpcl and ghostxps packages prior to version 9.53.2-2 were missing a soname link each. This has been fixed in 9.53.2-2, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked files created by ldconfig. If you get any of these errors ghostpcl: /usr/lib/libgpcl6.so.9 exists in filesystem ghostxps: /usr/lib/libgxps.so.9 exists in filesystem when updating, use pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/libgpcl6.so.9,/usr/lib/libgxps.so.9 to perform the upgrade.

Which is a tiny bit non-obvious :) But I'll add the timezone link regardless so people in UTC+2/CEST don't ask. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16

What :D I don't see any drop downs 🙃 I'll add a link to https://everytimezone.com/ regardless to make it easier after an offlist suggestion from Stapelberg. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16

[arch-dev-public] Orphaning packages/ request for co-maintainership
by David Runge 19 Sep '20

19 Sep '20

Hi all, I'm orphaning the following packages as I don't use them and/or took them over from someone who is now not a team member anymore: # [extra] ddrescue easytag (can be moved to [community]) # [community] autorandr cacti flac123 flyspray gmm gpa grub-customizer libircclient libmusicxml libopenshot libopenshot-audio libquicktime marsyas minitube nfoview nomacs openshot plowshare pound smplayer-skins smtube wiiuse zopfli The above [community] packages (if possible) will be moved to the AUR if no maintainers are found until 2020-09-28. Additionally I have many packages that I'd be happy to find co-maintainers for. If packages that you are interested in co-maintaining are not in the list below (e.g. all the pro-audio stuff) just let me know - the list would have gotten too long otherwise :P # [extra] raptor rasqal redland scons # [community] hyperkitty irker mailman3 mailman3-hyperkitty postorius qtile quodlibet radicale slimit sigal solfege subdownloader tmuxp tuna waf Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de
