[arch-dev-public] mailman hiccup
by Aaron Griffin 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Broke and fixed and broke and fixed mailman tonight. Ignore the goofed commits emails you may have gotten. For documentation purposes, here's what happend: * A few days ago we added a redirect from archlinux.org to www.archlinux.org to address some silly caching issues.\ * This broke mailman's web interface as it was using "archlinux.org" and the redirect was blowing things up (silently) * Used bin/withlist -r fix_url to modify the url for all the lists. This also changed the list's host_name to the same URL. Whoops * Readjusted all the host_name properties to archlinux.org so that the mails work again. Mailman hater for life, Aaron

Considering xmms has such high usage (I still have no idea why), we would just be pushing around our personal biases to keep it out of extra. I understand that gtk is crap and we want to get rid of it, but it seems there's a decent amount of stuff that still depends on it. I think we have two options here: * We completely get rid of gtk and all packages which depend on it. * We allow xmms back into extra I'm fine with either one, but I do think it'd be silly not to move xmms to extra based on the usage stats

[arch-dev-public] Building in chroots
by Allan McRae 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi, It has come to my attention that some people are not building packages in a clean chroot and others are managing the chroots themselves so I wrote a brief wiki entry on the scripts provided in devtools to do this [1]. Any comments on how to improve it would be appreciated. I have not added a section on using these tools to build i686 packages on x86_64 as I have not attempted that, so if someone could try that out and add it to the page, that would be appreciated.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] inetutils-1.5-1
by Eric Bélanger 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi all, As previously discussed (http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-December/009353.html) I've just added inetutils-1.5-1in testing to implement FS#12281. This new package will provide the following network clients/daemons: ftp/ftpd rexec/rexecd rlogin/rlogind rsh/rshd talk/talkd telnet/telnetd rcp. It will replace the following packages: core/netkit-telnet extra/netkit-ftp extra/netkit-rsh On a related note, netkit-tftp will be remove from the repo in favor of tftp-hpa. The inetutils tools can also profide a tftp client/server. It's currently not included in the inetutils package. We could provide them in a separate package if there is sufficient demand. As inetutils will go to core as it will replace a core package, it will require the usual 2 signoffs. Signoff from users will be appreciated as well as these network tools have a low usage these days. Please indicate what specific client/daemon you tested. Because it's a totally new package, I'll keep it in testing for at least a week to give more time to test. Eric

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] filesystem 2009.01-1
by Thomas Bächler 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Changes: - Add locate group to group file - Export PKG_CONFIG_PATH in /etc/profile - Add /etc/modprobe.d/usb-load-ehci-first to address #12009 (the latter needs a small change in mkinitcpio, so this file will also be added to the initramfs, this will fix the issue for people who use the usb and usbinput hooks, I'll do that tonight).
