[arch-dev-public] [signoff] dhcpcd 4.0.1-2
by Ronald van Haren 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

please signoff for both architectures. # changes wrt to dhcpcd3 series: August 2008 sees the first release of dhcpcd-4. The new version moves all configuration to /libexec/dhcpcd-run-hooks, apart from interface address and routing. We also use the same variables as dhclient which means existing custom scripts for dhclient can readily work with dhcpcd with minimal tweaking. Also, the dhcpcd internals have been re-worked around a table setup to extract options directly from the DHCP message instead of populating a custom object and dealing with that. Finally, NetworkManager-0.7.0 works with dhcpcd-4 when built with --with-dhcp-client=dhcpcd. NetBSD -current (4.99.72) imports dhcpcd-4.0.0-rc4 into their base system Smiling the hooks file location are changed to /usr/libexec in the package. Ronald

I kinda agree with Eduardo here. Maybe we should > re-enable this. There's a bug about missing -w in installer: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11468 So should we add -w to installer and re-enable word-wrapping in nano, or should I close this bugreport as "Fixed" now? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] Package Colours - better visual information
by Jud 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

I had an idea to improve the information provided to the user and indicate a clearer picture of the status of a Package via the website. Package Colours - 6 Major states of a Package ----------------------------------------------- Black - latest version, all ok Blue - latest version, bug report(s) outstanding Red - out-of-date Yellow - out-of-date, new package in Testing Orange - out-of-date, new package in Testing, bug report(s) outstanding Purple/Magenta - out-of-date, bug report(s) outstanding I'm not picky about the colours as long as it seems logical. Also, I have filed this as a feature request: FS#11604 - http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11604
