I want to update and reboot gerolde in about 9 hours. Please save all important work around that time, I will announce this again on the IRC channel a few minutes before I start. Expected downtime is less than 5 minutes, developer ssh access, rsync, devftp and git/svn checkout via gudrun will be unavailable for that period.

[arch-dev-public] putting "beta" software in [testing]
by Allan McRae 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi, coreutils-8.0 has been released but flagged beta because of some fairly large changes in rm which now uses gnulib's hierarchy traversal (= faster) and many changes to gnulib in the area of filesystem primitives. I found the snapshot before this fully usable, and will do a "make check/test" to ensure everything is working as it should. I would like to put it in [testing] _without_ the option of it every moving to [core]. I know we do this for some software, but never anything so "core" to the system that I know of. So... can I use [testing] for testing in this case? Allan

Fixing this one: [andyrtr@workstation64 trunk]$ LANG=C man modprobe.d man: can't open /usr/share/man/modprobe.conf.5: No such file or directory and that was one reason why man-db always recreates the database, see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14467 . please signoff module-init-tools 3.10-2 -Andy

Does anyone knows what happened? Only kdevelop and kdevplatform were in /srv/package-cleanup. I had to grabbed the other ones from a mirror (ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/).

[arch-dev-public] GNOME 2.28 roadmap
by Jan de Groot 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

At this moment we have a gnome-unstable repository, containing GNOME 2.28.0. This repository should be used on top of testing, though I'm working on it to make it compatible with just extra. Todo: - Compile packages against extra depends, not testing - Update some packages, make both architectures identical - Drop PolicyKit from hal, use at_console rules instead - Port remaining policykit-enabled packages to polkit - Drop PolicyKit completely, switch to polkit - Rebuild remaining packages for gmime 2.4 - Look for issues with poppler 0.12, possible rebuilds ahead - Try to track down required rebuilds because of changed dependencies and split packages When my todo-list above here is finished, I'll make an announcement about it. I would like to open it for public testing and allow bugs to be filed in flyspray. I don't want to drag this update through testing because of the huge size: most mirrors already have these packages, and dragging it through testing means just another resync of packages for every mirror. The main packaging changes in this release: - Use devicekit-disks for volume management - Use devicekit-power for power management - Drop hal support from the disk backend in libgphoto - Move from PolicyKit to polkit - Update gdm to 2.28. - Drop esound from the dependency tree - Build with -Wl,--as-needed, remove unneeded dependencies - Use the webkit backend for epiphany. Gecko is no more - Split libsoup into libsoup and libsoup-gnome
