[arch-dev-public] Python move news announcement draft
by Allan McRae 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi, I will move python stuff from [testing] soon so we will need a news item... Here is a draft: --begin draft-- Major python update A major python update is hitting the repos on a mirror near you. This involves update the python package from the 2.6 series to the 2.7 series. However, with python-2.7 being scheduled to be the last major release in the python-2.x series, python 2.7 is now packaged as "python2", while the "python" package will contain the python 3.x series. This means that /usr/bin/python will point at python 3.x and any programs requiring python2 should point at /usr/bin/python2 instead. All packages in the repos have been updated, but any issues found can be reported to the bug tracker (not the forum or the mailing lists). Any AUR packages using python will likely need updated to point at the correct python binary. --end draft-- Comments?

[arch-dev-public] Python rebuild on its way to [testing]
by Allan McRae 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Hi all, I am in the process of moving the python rebuild into the [testing] and [community-testing] repositories. There are still a few packages that need rebuilt (the various openoffice incarnations and virtualbox-ose) so if you desperately need them you may want to hold off updating. Other than those packages, this will hopefully be a nice smooth update... I hear some TUs have been running the [staging] repo (which I personally think is crazy!) If you see any of the following, report a bug: * files linked to libpython2.6.so.1.0 * files in /usr/lib/python2.6 or /usr/include/python-2.6 * files with a "#!/usr/bin/python" or "#!/usr/bin/env python" shebang * depends/makedepends/optdepends on "python" instead of "python2" * packages that no longer work... And I mean report a bug... an email is not enough. Allan

[arch-dev-public] poppler soname bump
by Jan de Groot 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

The poppler/poppler-glib update to 0.14 includes a soname bump for poppler and poppler-glib. Packages depending on these libraries should be rebuilt. I already did all packages in extra, some packages in community still need an update. To track the rebuild, a todo list was created: http://www.archlinux.org/todo/38/ Please rebuild these packages in community-testing and flag them as complete after that.

[arch-dev-public] Update to next major mono version and moonlight
by Daniel Isenmann 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Hi, I will prepare and release the next major version (2.8) of mono to the [extra] repository this week. I will also rebuild all necessary packages, if there are any, normally it isn't necessary. But to the big changes (http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2010-August/017497.h… and http://mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.8) there are maybe some problems, but I don't think so. I will also add moonlight to the [extra] repo, if it's now possible to build the newest version with mono 2.8, I have to check this. Any objections against moonlight? -Daniel
