[arch-dev-public] usage of vido drivers in Arch
by Pierre Schmitz 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi, the story about catalyst made me think about how many people use that driver. So I looked it up and here are the most installed video drivers: xf86-video-vesa 83,17 % # part of the xorg group nvidia-utils 43,27 % xf86-video-intel 19,22 % xf86-video-nv 13,09 % xf86-video-ati 10,74 % catalyst-utils 9,05 % xf86-video-vmware 4,49 % nvidia-173xx-utils 4,22 % xf86-video-fbdev 3,65 % xf86-video-vga 3,21 % nvidia-96xx-utils 2,74 % xf86-video-radeonhd 2,19 % -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] ncurses-5.7-2.1
by Allan McRae 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Signoff for ncurses-5.7-2.1 on x86_64 only. It seems most major distros use --chtype=long for their x86_64 ncurses builds due to binary compatibility with old versions of ncurses. So, some binary blobs may need this (see FS#13351). The wide character library (that all our packages are linked against), is not changed. I would like a signoff from someone using a binary blob that links to ncurses. Allan

Hey guys, I'll be away for a small ski-ing trip starting tomorrow night (February 24th). I'll return next Sunday, March 1st. Although I bring my laptop, I probably won't have internet access during that time. Ronald

by Eric Bélanger 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi, There will be an upcoming update to faad2, ffmpeg and x264. Both faad2 and x264 will have an soname bump so a rebuild will be neccessary. I'll do the rebuilds. I'll also check for updates and trivial bug reports to do at the same time.. The packages that will be rebuilt are: ==faad2 rebuild avidemux cmus faad2 ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins mpd muine mythmusic streamripper vlc xine-lib ==x264 rebuild avidemux ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins motion mplayer opal transcode vlc x264

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] groff 1.20.1-2
by Aaron Griffin 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Minor change to the local site-tmac files related to the recent man-db inclusion. I shut off groff's "SGR" color codes by default, as nothing seems to use them right. Instead of defining GROFF_NO_SGR to shut off SGR, define GROFF_SGR to turn it on if you need it. Debian and Mandriva also seem to do the same - you get much more valid results searching for GROFF_SGR than GROFF_NO_SGR

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] man-db 2.5.4-1
by Andreas Radke 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

- this is a new upstream release promising to improve groff 1.20.1 support. should also fix paging russian man pages http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7477 - fixed a typo in the install msg We should now be ready to push it to core replacing former "man". If russian encoding is still not perfect we can improve it later (it's currently broken as well). -Andy https://launchpad.net/man-db/main/2.5.4 man-db 2.5.4 This release adds support for regular expression and wildcard searches in man, and for disabling hyphenation; it fixes a few bugs in manual page ordering and fixes lexgrog's parsing to stop on any unrecognised request; and it improves support for the recently-released Groff 1.20. Fixes: ------ o Build fixes for systems without GNU Make, and for systems without gettext; this successfully covers at least FreeBSD. o The distclean target now works if po4a isn't installed. o Exit as soon as possible if database writes return ENOSPC. o lexgrog now stops on any unrecognised roff request, rather than continuing and often littering the database with garbage. o man no longer requires both standard input and standard output to be terminals in order to use the terminal line length. The line length from standard output is preferred if available. o The manpath was built completely wrongly when multiple entries were present in LANGUAGE: duplicates were handled strangely, and languages were effectively iterated in reverse order. It should be rather more sensible now. Improvements: ------------- o The MAN_KEEP_STDERR environment variable can now be used to override man's default of discarding stderr when stdout is a terminal. o Handling of terminal widths for cat pages is now configurable, using the MINCATWIDTH, MAXCATWIDTH, and CATWIDTH configuration file directives. o 'man -a' now detects duplicate manual page candidates more reliably, and sorts them better. o Belarusian, Estonian, Greek, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Romanian, Slovenian, and Ukrainian pages are now supported. o man can now search for pages using regular expressions (with --regex) or shell wildcards (with --wildcard). By default this searches both page names and descriptions, like apropos, but if the --names-only option is used then it searches page names only, like whatis. o man can now tell nroff to disable hyphenation if the --no-hyphenation option is used. o man-db already searched for manual pages in ../man and man directories relative to each $PATH component; it now searches in ../share/man and share/man directories too. o Groff 1.20 was recently released, including the 'preconv' preprocessor. Although man-db has supported preconv to some extent since 2.4.4, man-db's configure now detects its presence and infers that groff supports Unicode input using it; man also now takes slightly better advantage of preconv than before. o Per-locale groff macros are now loaded if possible, allowing us to take advantage of such things as localised versions of predefined strings and language-aware hyphenation. This only works with Groff 1.20.2 or better (not yet released), since earlier versions did not allow us to suppress warnings in the event that the appropriate macro file is not available.
