by Pierre Schmitz 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

Hi devs, Jens (byte) just sent me this announcement. Any comments? -- The recently released 177.80 version of the NVIDIA driver stopped supporting the GeForce FX series of cards. If you find your Xorg setup no longer working after upgrading you need to install the new 173xx legacy drivers: # pacman -S nvidia-173xx Source: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=120679 -- 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] Fwd: Information!
by Pierre Schmitz 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

redirected to arch-dev-public. I would be pleased if you would use our bug tracker or arch-general next time. However: I am not sure if we could fix this ourselfs. We'll have to wait for a new release from adobe. ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Betreff: Information! Datum: Samstag 11 Oktober 2008 Von: JaDa <jada(a)usalug.net> An: pierre(a)archlinux.de Good morning Pierre I am using you, because I have no write access to the mailing liste. Why I am using you and what do I want from you! flashplugin 9.0.124.0-1 developers = none Linux users are sometimes smug because most worms are Windows-specific and don't affect them. But email and Web site attacks are often cross-platform. Linux users are just as vulnerable to phishing attacks and advance fee fraud (419 scams) as Windows users. So be very careful before clicking on email links, or posting private data to Web sites. Also, consider screening your email with SpamAssassin and ClamAV. From an attacker’s perspective the most important thing is that a) they know where to click and b) they know the URL of the page they want you to click, in the case of cross domain access. So if either one of these two requirements aren’t met, the attack falls down. Frame busting code is the best defense if you run web-servers, if it works (and in our tests it doesn’t always work). I should note some people have mentioned security=restricted as a way to break frame busting code, and that is true, although it also fails to send cookies, which might break any significant attacks against most sites that check credentials. Flash Player workaround available for "Clickjacking" issue Release date: October 7, 2008 Vulnerability identifier: APSA08-08 Platform: All Platforms Affected Software: Adobe Flash Player 9.0.124.0 and earlier Follow the work around http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa08-08.html or update to Flash 10 RC2 http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ regards Uwe ------------------------------------------------------- -- 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] away / OpenOffice3.0 update
by Andreas Radke 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

I'm just building the final packages for both architectures and all langpacks we support. I'll let the packages stay in my staging dirs until Friday afternoon (CET). Then the next and hopefully last OOo IRC release meeting will happen. If no further changes are needed they plan to release the current state as final OOo 3.0.0 on next Tuesday. The packages have been long time tested as openoffice-base-beta and I don't expect much hussle. But some noise will raise for major upstream changes: - There's no more any kde(4) gui integration and it might ook very ugly, maybe qtcurve (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=52428) helps for a better gtk look. You can still choose kde icons. - It's strongly recommended to preset gnome-desktop as described in the install message, especially for other desktops than Gnome and Xfce, otherwise it will soon crash. - any openoffice-spell-XX package is obsolete now - Spell checking is done via extensions now (also English!). Some are shipped within the package, more can be downloaded. Use extension manager for installation. - All important changes should be covered in our wiki page http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenOffice. - After the release I'll remove the ooodi2 package. I'll be on vacation from Sat. 11th to 18th - and sure some questions will appear. I hope I covered most questions with the install message and our wiki page. A news item shouldn't be needed. Please help out in the forum or IRC if you find some time. You can try out the packages soon from my staging dir if you want. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] gmp 4.2.4
by Jan de Groot 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

Though gmp 4.2.3 never entered core though it was signed off, I'd like to ask for signoff for 4.2.4, as it fixes some bugs. At this moment only x86_64 is built, if someone can build i686 we can signoff for that architecture also.

by Ronald van Haren 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

Hi all, Please signoff for both architectures. AFAIK only bugfixes wrt 4.0.1 which was in testing. Futher I've added the -q and -L options to the default config file. Thanks, Ronald
