[arch-dev-public] Dropping Berkeley db extension in python2
by Stéphane Gaudreault 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

The bsddb module in python2 has been deprecated since python 2.6 and it support only Berkeley db version from 4.0 thru 4.7 [1]. A simple patch allowed our python package to offer a minimal support for existing application using db 5.0 and 5.1. This patch as been rejected upstream as db extension is now maintained as a third party package [2][3]. Other majors distributions are not offering this module in their python2 packages. In db 5.2 there are lots of (small) changes in the C API [4] (mostly in the replication manager API) . The patching work required to integrate this version in our package is no longer trivial and there is no upstream support. Hence, I propose to drop this extension from our python2 pkg. We have a python-bsddb in [community] in which we could add python2 support (as a split pkg) to offer a much more complete db support for our python2 users [5]. Support for db 5.2 in python-bsddb was added yesterday in the mercurial repository of python-bsddb. Berkeley DB is not included in the python3 stdlib, so python 3 is not affected by this change. Any objections to do this ?

[arch-dev-public] nvidia-utils 275.09.07 update
by Ionut Biru 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi, I'm dropping our 20-nvidia.conf in this update since now our xorg-server can autoload nvidia without this. Also is fair to notice our users that 275.xx has a bug in gnome-shell and is duplicating icons in systray FS#24725. Feel free to pester nvidia on their forums because of this. Balancing on how many bugs it fixes especially desktop corruption in GNOME 3 after a VT-switch or suspend/resume cycle, kde resizing windows bug, i'm going to push this update. -- Ionuț
