[arch-dev-public] Fwd: Junior Developer Mentor Scheme
by Tobias Powalowski 02 Aug '10

---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Betreff: Junior Developer Mentor Scheme Datum: Montag 02 August 2010, 14:44:06 Von: Tajidin Abd <tajidinabd(a)archlinux.us> An: tpowa(a)archlinux.org Hello there Tobias I had seen in past News something about bringing more contributors to Archlinux. I did email Allan in regards to this but so far no reply back. I was wondering is this still open for users to contribute the Project. Perhaps i need to post something in the devs mailing list to get more opinion about this. I mean I am a contributor to Fedora Project. I would hope since Arch is a smaller project it can bit more transparent in regards to this. Also it will take the load off other contributors. Any suggestions would be appreciated Tajidin ---------------------------------------------------- --------- -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] perl 5.12 status?
by Allan McRae 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

What is going on with the perl-5.12 update in [testing]? Every few days I see rebuilds for a couple of packages with "perl-5.12 rebuild" as the reason yet we have no rebuild list. How much more needs done? Is there any schedule for this making it to the main repos? Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] tzdata 2010k-1
by Andreas Radke 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Time for a new time(zone)... Another minor upstream bump. Please signoff. -Andy The files... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2010k.tar.gz ...and... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2010k.tar.gz ...are now available; these reflect the changes circulated last week on the time zone mailing list. You can expect an update for Samoa (and possibly for Egypt if better information becomes available) shortly. Folks who want to avoid version thrash may want to wait to update. (Thanks to Abhijit Saha for being the first to catch the j/k error.) --ado

[arch-dev-public] Update to FluxBB 1.4
by Pierre Schmitz 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hi all, as you should know I have prepared the update to the new version of FluxBB. This is now mostly done except some minor adjustments to the configurable main menu. I have put a rough plan on my user page at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Pierre I have tested this locally and it is more or less painless. The only problem I see is that the update script is quite inefficient; so the forums will be down for an hour or longer. Should we pick a special date here? I'd also need someone who is more familiar with the apache config to alter the permission for some files. Some additional notes: * I didn't get a response from the guy with the duplicate account yet * Obviously some previous migrations failed so I need to cleanup the database schema. (there are duplicate or unused keys) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] MediaWiki updated
by Pierre Schmitz 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Hi all, I updated MediaWiki due to some security issues. I hope you don't mind that it will look a little different from the other sites for a short time...but I didn't really want to create a new branch just for this. There is a strange problem though: all links are underlined if you are logged in. I don't see this effect locally or on wiki.archlinux.de with the same wiki. Did I miss anything? Some strange caching? Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] Sorta vacation?
by Daniel J Griffiths (Ghost1227) 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

I'm sure that some of you have noticed that I haven't been around quite as much as normal lately. Finally decided that it was time to officially notify you all that I'm sorta inactive for the next week or two. I say 'sorta inactive' because I'm not marking myself inactive (I'll still be here and likely will still be working, and I'll definitely still be on IRC and able to support my PKGBUILD.com users), but I won't have too much time available for rebuilding packages/fixing bugs. I recently took over as CTO and head designer for a social media integration and corporate branding company and the process of settling in and interviewing for the few positions we currently have open is proving extremely time-intensive. I suspect the candidate I interviewed today will be hired on and this will decrease my workload significantly (once she gets past the training and tests). I'm estimating one to two weeks before things have settled down enough for me to consider myself 'back'. In the meantime, please feel free to screw around with my out of date packages and associated bugs.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3 - 3.7.0-1
by Andreas Radke 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

New upstream release with some new features: http://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_7_0.html SQLite Release 3.7.0 On 2010 July 22 (3.7.0) Changes associated with this release include the following: * Added support for write-ahead logging. * Query planner enhancement - automatic transient indices are created when doing so reduces the estimated query time. * Query planner enhancement - the ORDER BY becomes a no-op if the query also contains a GROUP BY clause that forces the correct output order. * Add the SQLITE_DBSTATUS_CACHE_USED verb for sqlite3_db_status(). * The logical database size is now stored in the database header so that bytes can be appended to the end of the database file without corrupting it and so that SQLite will work correctly on systems that lack support for ftruncate(). A complete list of SQLite releases in a single pages is also available. A detailed history of every check-in is available at http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline. Please signoff. -Andy
