[arch-dev-public] [signoff] bash-4.1.002-2
by Allan McRae 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Bump the readline dependency version to 6.1 as people seem to want to update only select packages on their system and upgrading to bash-4.1 without readline-6.1 causes "fun"... (FS#18051). Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev 151-2
by Thomas Bächler 31 Jan '10

This fixes a bug in the new firmware loader: Whenever a firmware file was missing, the firmware loader did not properly report an error to the kernel, thus modprobe stalled for 60 seconds. Most notably, this happens with "microcode", as it looks for firmware files that never existed and probably never will exist. Please sign off.
