[arch-dev-public] kde-unstable on top of jpng
by Pierre Schmitz 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

I am starting to rebuild kde-unstable against new lib{jpeg,png}. This will be completed with the release of KDE 4.4 RC2 within the next two days. Nobody should use kde-unstable until it's announced and open for testing. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] zlib 1.2.3.4-4
by Pierre Schmitz 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

This version of zlib comes with disabled optimizations which seems to have used an executable stack on i686. This causes problems on PAX/NX(PAE) enabled kernels. (our stock kernel is not affected because PAE is disabled here) Please sign-off. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] autotrace does not build. move/remove it?
by Andrea Scarpino 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Hi DEVs, autotrace build fails with: /usr/lib/libMagickCore.so: undefined reference to `DestroyPixelWand' /usr/lib/libMagickCore.so: undefined reference to `PixelSetColor' /usr/lib/libMagickCore.so: undefined reference to `DrawSetStrokeWidth' /usr/lib/libMagickCore.so: undefined reference to `DrawRectangle' [...] I didn't find any patch. This package is orphan and the last version was released 11th September 2002. Can I move it to AUR or fully remove? -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[arch-dev-public] Merging dhclient and dhcp package
by Daniel Isenmann 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Hi, I don't know why this idea didn't came earlier to my mind, but the dhclient and dhcp package share the same source file. Now that pacman supports splitted packages this can be merged into one PKGBUILD and build both packages at once. This should be really easier than maintaining both packages from differents maintainer like at the moment. Any objections for doing this? Daniel

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] wicd-1.7.0-1
by Daniel Isenmann 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Hi, there is a new version of wicd in [testing]. In the past there were always problems in upgrading wicd, so I have decided to put it in [testing] first. Please test it and give me some signoffs. Big changelog: 1.7.0: Changes for Packagers: - Wicd now supports a -k option, which should be run by the init script when the daemon is stopped to release the DHCP lease but should not be run on a restart of the daemon. - The ability has been added to split Wicd's components into multiple directories. Use --gtk, --cli, --curses, and --daemon to setup.py configure to specify the locations of the respective components. - The preferred way to run the GTK UI is now to use wicd-gtk, not wicd-client. wicd-gtk is a new addition to 1.7 that will never run wicd-curses. wicd-client will automatically decide to run wicd-curses if there is no X session available. Major Changes: - Connection information is available by right clicking the tray icon - Can set the hostname per network for all DHCP clients - urwid 0.9.9 is now supported - Added wicd-cli, a command line interface for use in scripts - Global scripts are now passed parameters specifying the network Minor Changes: - Support for only displaying notifications using -o to wicd-client - Reconnecting now works when measuring signal strength in dBm - ESSIDs made of numbers now work properly - All valid wpa_supplicant drivers are now displayed - Wired network is now displayed while scanning wireless networks - Added wicd-gtk, a command to always and only run the GTK UI - Marked ioctl backend not supported - Use dhcpcd-bin on Debian instead of dhcpcd script Daniel

[arch-dev-public] monotone requires botan < 1.9
by Andrea Scarpino 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

Hi DEVs, monotone 0.45, that is in [extra], needs botan 1.8.x to work. It is orphan too. So we have 3 choices now: - add botan18 to [extra] - move monotone to unsupported - (bad) build monotone with botan 1.8.x and add the depence with botan<1.9 What do you suggest? See FS#17297 for more. Thanks -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer
