[arch-dev-public] The KDE 4.3 update for packagers
by Pierre Schmitz 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi Devs and TUs, with the recent KDE update the packages were split up. All packages in extra should be updated but if you maintain a KDE related package please check. Try to reduce the deps (use namcap) and replace a dep to kdegraphics with the needed sub packages. At least a KDE pacakges which has some standalone app should depend on kdebase-runtime (namcap wont tell you) In addition to this phonon is included into Qt now. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] 2009.08 snapshot RC/Final and core/testing
by Gerhard Brauer 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi, as planned we want to build today our RC. Do you plan to move today some affected packages from testing to core? So we should wait some hours... We like to have the initscripts/udev/mkinitcpio/... package block and also pacman 3.3 on the Final images. Final (according to our plan) is latest on 09.August. Do you think that affected packages are in core before this day? Gerhard

[arch-dev-public] Warning: [kde-unstable] will be merged with [testing]
by Pierre Schmitz 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi all, thanks to Dan, Allan and all other Contributors we now have pacman 3.3 in [testing]. This also means we can move the split KDE packages to our official repos. I'll move everything from kde-unstable to testing; let's hope the new and never tested db-move scripts are working. :-) If there are no lockers KDE will be updated to 4.3 final tomorrow and move on to extra after a short period in testing. Greetings, Pierre PS: Looks like we should compile a news item for the final move... -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

Got a response from Slice: The following kernels are available for your slice to upgrade. Please let us know and we can take care of that for you. 2.6.24 - 23.48 2.6.24 - 24.55 I believe these should be Ubuntu kernel versions; I'm seeing right now what they actually include as it might include a fully working signalfd(). If anyone wants to contact some other providers (especially if you are already using their services) and post the response here, that would be cool. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] info pages with makepkg/pacman-3.3
by Allan McRae 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Hi, Thought I would point out some changes to how makepkg handles info pages. 1) /usr/share/info/dir will automatically be removed 2) info pages will be compressed (gzip). 3) !docs by default will not remove info pages (they are treated like man pages). If you were not compressing info pages, you will need to make sure your install file has ".gz"'s added as appropriate. Remember to merge your makepkg.conf... Allan
