[arch-dev-public] Moving libofx to extra
by Aaron Griffin 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hey guys, Just wanted to see if anyone has a problem with me pulling libofx from community to extra for gnucash. It will allow gnucash to read/import/whatever OFX files and seems fairly useful for the people using gnucash. Any issues with this?

[arch-dev-public] ifconfig/route to iproute2
by James Rayner 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10160 Attached is a patch for initscripts git, updated from the bug report. netcfg has support in git. Remaining notes: - ip is presently located in /usr/sbin. This may be an issue. - ip appears to not need any special arguments for ipv6, so ipv6 checks have been removed. Anyone using ipv6 that can confirm? - As with original patch, bonding and bridging not tested. James ps: rc.d/network is much cleaner than last time I saw it. Good work to whoever tidied it up.

[arch-dev-public] catalyst-beta removed/take care of illegal stuff!
by Andreas Radke 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Today I asked Allan to remove 2 packages from AUR: catalyst-beta and catalyst-utils-beta. I know the situation of the catalyst driver packages isn't in the best state. But breaking laws and license agreements can't solve this in a proper way and we cannot allow to host this on our servers. All members of the AMD/Ati beta project have to sign briefly an agreement to not publish any online location where to get the source, not publish any issues and errors that come up and they even aren't allowed to publish anything about performance changes. Of cause you aren't allowed to give any 3rd person the beta installer directly. The packages in AUR had links to leaked sources directly included. All I know this is also breaking their licenses. That's why we removed these packages. TUs: Please have a look at what comes up in AUR and ask if you find something you are not sure if it allowed to be there. @all: don't blame me for taking you that possibility from you. Go and send a nice thanks to AMD for not doing public beta tests. We - the dev team will soon have to decide about future handling of the stable but almost always broken situation of AMD drivers. -AndyRTR

[arch-dev-public] Scripting large rebuilds
by Aaron Griffin 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hey guys, Does anyone have any scripts that they use for mass-rebuilds (such as the readline rebuild)? I would like to get more tools of the sort into devtools, so want to see if anyone has anything existing that I could import / use for this purpose. If not, I will write one to do this with makechrootpkg (yay, chroots) to make this easier. Cheers, Aaron

[arch-dev-public] xorg status (upcoming in testing)
by Jan de Groot 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

I would like to inform people about the current status of X.Org on archlinux. At this moment, we have some client libraries and protocol definitions in extra targeted at xorg-server 1.6 already. I've been busy with xorg-server 1.5.99.903 today, which is supposed to be the last release candidate before 1.6 comes out. So far, the packaging looks good, but there's some nasty side-effects on this upgrade: - all input drivers need a rebuild - all video drivers need a rebuild Besides these rebuilds, I think we're going to have problems with binary drivers again. X will refuse to load them, unless you tell it to ignore ABI mismatches. I will be pushing xorg-server 1.5.99.903 or 1.6 to testing this week together with libdrm 2.4.4, mesa 7.3 and a rebuild+update of all free drivers in our repositories.

[arch-dev-public] Away
by Allan McRae 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi all, I will be on holiday from tomorrow until the 21st of February. I will probably have email access but won't be doing any packaging, etc. Feel free to update any package of mine apart from python3 in [community] as I have some changes that I want to make when 3.0.1 is released. Cheers, Allan
