[arch-dev-public] New packages for OpenJDK7
by Guillaume ALAUX 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Hi everyone, Following the general availability of OpenJDK7 (and community's jre/jdk), I updated openjdk6 PKGBUILD for OpenJDK7 (thanks Andy for letting me have a look at that). Just like the current openjdk6, these packages are based on OpenJDK7 to which we add the IcedTea code that enable building with free tools and add some more open source stuff. The only new thing (apart from version 6 -> 7) is the fact that files are splitted into 'jre7-openjdk' and 'jdk7-openjdk' (and openjdk7-src). These packages are not 'final' so not currently available in a repo but here: http://dev.archlinux.org/~guillaume/openjdk7/ I am away on holidays next week so I won't be able to answer any email but suggestions are welcome ; feedback also. -- Guillaume

[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.

[arch-dev-public] removing cryptsetup from base group
by Ionut Biru 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Hi, this package brings in our clean chroots libgcrypt dependency. Until recently, gnutls had libcrypt as dependency but now it relies on nettle. That means that packages linked to gnutls and relied on libgcrypt dependency from it, will be broken. We have a gnutls 3.0.0 rebuild in progress in staging and because libgcrypt is in our clean chroots, everything is fine, functionality wise but I noticed that we skipped adding ligcrypt to dependency mostly because namcap and us assume that everybody have base group installed. Please check your packages to see if they link to libgcrypt and add it to dependency if they do. -- Ionuț

[arch-dev-public] ifconfig triggers linux-3.0 to load appletalk and ipx
by Pierre Schmitz 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Hi, I just wondered why I had ipx and appletalk modules loaded. After some tests I figured out that simply running ifconfig triggers the kernel to load them. This does not happen with an older kernel; e.g. our lts package. Any ideas about that? It might not break anything but it is strange anyway. We might also rethink if supporting these ancient protocols in kernel and user space tool is still needed. For those who want to prevent these modules from being loaded use this modprobe.conf entries: alias net-pf-4 off alias net-pf-5 off Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
