[arch-dev-public] [signoff] nfs-utils 1.1.6-1
by Allan McRae 12 May '09

12 May '09

Signoff for nfs-utils 1.1.6-1. This was an out-of-date orphan with a minor version bump. Not used or particularly tested at my end so two signoffs would be good. Allan

[arch-dev-public] Audio packages
by Allan McRae 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hi all, Do we have a dev here that wants to spend some time with the audio packages? They have not received much love lately... The jackbeat update requires moving portaudio from [community]. We also have ardour that is quite out-of-date but requires adding several deps to the repos. I updated jack-audio-connection-kit, but it also needs a rework of is rc.d script to actually make it useful and I have not had time to address yet (if anybody wants to do this contact me for the details). So, what do we do? Is there a dev who has time and interest to take these over? Otherwise do we bring someone onboard to maintain these packages or encourage someone in the arch-audio group to become a TU and move them to community? Allan

[arch-dev-public] grub2 image support
by Ronald van Haren 10 May '09

10 May '09

Hi, For those of you who are using grub2 and are interested in making your boot selection menu a bit nicer, the newly uploaded grub2 supports backgrounds and stuff. Config syntax in your grub.cfg is similar to: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode="1024x768x32" insmod gfxterm insmod vbe terminal_output gfxterm if terminal_output gfxterm; then true ; else terminal gfxterm fi fi insmod tga background_image /boot/grub/archlinux.tga +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ though obviously a background image is not included. Other image types should work as well if you load the correct modules (see the .mod files in /boot/grub) Ronald ps. I had to add a bdf-unifont package to the repo in order to make it work a bit easier. It is now a makedepend of grub2.

[arch-dev-public] glibc and minimum kernel version
by Allan McRae 10 May '09

10 May '09

Now glibc-2.10 is out, I will be preparing another toolchain rebuild. One question that has been discussed previously is bumping the minimum kernel required by glibc. Bumping it too recent is full of stupid, but bumping it some would cut down on some unnecessary glibc workaround code. I am thinking that the minimal kernel version should be 2.6.22 which was released two years ago. It is the lowest kernel version that udev works with so people using kernels older than that need to do some workarounds anyway. Any comments/objections? Allan

[arch-dev-public] libraw1394 rebuilds
by Jan de Groot 10 May '09

10 May '09

I'm pusing libraw1394 to testing. This release has a sobump and requires rebuild of some packages. I've done most packages, but vlc and kdebase are also on this list. Both packages are in testing at this moment, without versioned dependencies, so I don't plan to rebuild these myself. Please rebuild vlc and kdebase when libraw1394 is in testing.
