[arch-dev-public] Qt/KDE and gstreamer (second try)
by Pierre Schmitz 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hi all, about half a year ago I tried to use Qt with its gstreamer backend. Some of the problems I had are now fixed and I am able to play all my files without problems. There is now Qt with gstreamer support and its own phonon in kde-unstable. This means video/audio tags might work in webkit now. So this is just a test if switching from xine to gstreamer as default backend is a good idea. The downside of gstreamer are that you need to install all of its plugin to play any random file. And at least the "good" plugins depend on gnome libs (libsoupo, gconf, gtk etc.) Of course its still easy to use any other backend (mplayer, xine etc.) I have put a xine-backend into AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28038 Webkit only works with gstreamer backend though. (and the prerelease of kaffeine needs the xine backend) Any ideas opinions about this? Maybe we can split qt and provide a separate gstreamer package; this way you can remove gstreamer if you really don't like it. :-) Qt depends on the base plugins of gstreamer; so you can play ogg files; systemsounds should work. If a file really does not play try to install the whole plugin group. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] Inactive
by Andrea Scarpino 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hi all, I will be inactive starting from tonight to 26th July. At 9pm (GMT+1) I will start my inter-rail[1] with 2 friends; we will visit London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Prague. So this means I will not able to use my laptop and maybe I will not check my mails too. I hope to improve my English with this experience. Kde 4.3 should be released at the end of the month, so I hope to be here for that. Everyone can update my packages and please solve critical bugs related to my packages, if there will be. Thanks in advance. Have a good day. Best regards [1] http://www.interrailnet.com/ -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

The pkgrel for netpbm is misused. It'll need to be fixed. If someone as a better/verified patch, post it here. I'll take care of the rebuild and pkgrel fixing. BTW, I just pushed rebuilds for celestia and kismet (x86_64 only). I'll do them for i686 tomorrow unless someone does it before.

[arch-dev-public] WARNING: libjpeg rebuilds are entering [testing] - devs get building!
by Allan McRae 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hi everybody, I am pushing the libjpeg rebuilds I have done to [testing] now. I did most of the rebuilds required for desktops to keep work (although I don't guarantee even that...) and many applications still need rebuilt. I would recommend [testing] users not to rush to upgrade unless you are well prepared for some breakages. Devs, please remember to mark off rebuilt packages from the TODO list as you go. Cheers, Allan
