[arch-dev-public] vacation and travelling
by Christian Hesse 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Hello everybody, I am on vacation for three weeks starting today - expect me to be absent from IRC these days. I will try to keep packaging and fixing bugs, but feel free to jump in for urgent things. We are travelling for the first week. My notebook will be with me but I have no idea what my internet connectivity will looks like. Do not panic if I am even less responsive. -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}

[arch-dev-public] Responsive views for Forums and Wiki
by Pierre Schmitz 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hi, for the last few days I had been working on a more mobile friendly view of our Wikis and Forums. These have just been deployed. Here is what changed: While it's not perfect on small screens it should at least be way more readable on your mobile phones. Let me know of any issues though. Wiki: * Updated to MediaWiki 1.29.1 * Removed our fork of the MonoBook skin * Introduce a new "ArchLinux" extension which injects some styles and our navigation bar independent of the skin. This was quite a lot of work to figure out, but future updates should be way easier now. * The default skin is Vector; MonoBook is still available and can be enabled in your personal settings * The MobileFrontend extension has been removed (So we have a branded view for mobile as well) * PR see https://github.com/archlinux/archwiki/pull/9/files Forums: * Created a github repo at https://github.com/archlinux/archbbs * PR at https://github.com/archlinux/archbbs/pull/1 * Some docker compose configuration to simplify development (similar to the on in the wiki) In addition to this I have been working on a re-implementation of https://www.archlinux.de. Part of this is a new more mobile friendly design. Especially the navigation which moves the menu entries into a so called Hamburger menu on smaller screens is still missing from the implementation mentioned above. I plan to extract these "somehow" so we can use a common navigation in all our websites. At least a generated snippet we can copy into our projects. Greetings, Pierre

[arch-dev-public] Away for a few days

I'll be traveling tomorrow to a friend's wedding, plus dealing with a move, so chances are I won't be very active for the immediate future. Hopefully we won't be suddenly swarmed with more bugs than Doug can handle. :) -- Eli Schwartz

[arch-dev-public] Drop hfsutils
by Muflone 19 Aug '17

19 Aug '17

Hi The current status of the package hfsutils v332 is really out-of-date compared to Apple sources [1] v589. Various GNU/Linux distributions approach this package in many different ways. - Debian still maintains it the outdated v332 [2] - Fedora uses a more recent version v540 [3] which doesn't provide anymore mkfs.hfs. A package from another source could create new filesystems. - Gentoo uses the same old version v332 [4] As I don't use this package anymore and I don't think a 10 years old package should live in the official repositories I plan to move hfsutils to the AUR. If someone has a better idea or wants to maintain hfsutils please let me know. If not I'll try to update hfsutils in the AUR to v540.

[arch-dev-public] TeXLive 2017 packages are now available in [testing]
by Rémy Oudompheng 17 Jul '17

17 Jul '17

Hello, TexLive 2017 has been released at the beginning of the month and is now packaged in [testing]. No particular issue is expected when upgrading to this release. Note that a few packages disappear in this release, following upstream changes in structure: * texlive-genericextra (merged in texlive-core) * texlive-htmlxml (merged in texlive-core and formatsextra) * texlive-plainextra (merged in texlive-core) Pacman hooks for TeXLive, which were in texlive-bin, are now in texlive-core, which should fix bugs like FS50238, FS20423 and FS51918. I expect to move them to [extra] early July. Happy TeXing, Regards, Rémy.
