[arch-dev-public] Clean up the base group
by Allan McRae 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

HI, I mentioned this several months ago and got no response so I will post again. If there are no objections in 48 hours, the rebuilds will start hitting [testing]. FS#12890 suggests cleaning some of the packages from the base group. The goals are to remove old packages that are really no longer needed (e.g. cpio) and packages that are only needed as dependencies for other packages and would not be installed otherwise (e.g. libfetch). That will clean up the package selection list for the base group in the installer. Here is the list of what I will do: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/Base_Cleanup It splits the packages in the base group into those staying in base; those removed from base but staying in [core]; those removed from [core]. Packages marked with (???) mean I am not sure what category to put them in. If there are no comments, I will be playing it safe with these. Any comments before I start? Allan

[arch-dev-public] The horror...
by Roman Kyrylych 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

So, more than 2 hours ago the power in the large area of the city went down. My UPS is already dead, and the battery in the laptop is going to be empty pretty soon. Luckily I still have the internet (looks like the CDMA base station nearby has some power). Hopefully they fix the power tomorrow or I find a way to fill in the battery in my laptop somewhere, otherwise I will have to wait until monday... -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] Away
by Andrea Scarpino 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

Hi DEVs and TUs, my exams session is over, and I need a short holiday in London. I will be away starting from some hours to 2nd afternoon/night (GMT). I am building KDE 4.4.1 packages and everything seems fine. Before to go, I will upload them into my staging/extra dir, so you can take them. This minor release will be released 2nd March; I should come back in time to run /arch/db-extra, anyway Ronald and Pierre are here for everything. Free to fix high or medium priority bugs assigned to me or to update my packages. Thanks. Best Regards -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

Re: [arch-dev-public] Replace Planet with Planet-Venus? (WAS: [arch-general] Planet Arch Linux atom feed)

I do not need particular assistance, I have permission to backup/remove/create planet folder. The only thing is that I am not sure if we need to install libxslt: planet- venus script requires it (it gives "xsltproc: command not found"), but it seems to work without it. What is our policy about which packages install on gerolde and which not? -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[arch-dev-public] Samba package sizes

Something seems a bit out of whack when we are dealing with loads and loads of 5 MB binaries. The above list doesn't even fully capture all of those used by samba and smbclient, nor the libraries. -Dan P.S. The inclusion of some documentation is probably unwarranted as well: $ du -sh /usr/share/samba/swat/ 15M /usr/share/samba/swat/
