2008/4/28 eliott <eliott(a)cactuswax.net>: > Fixed the archweb frontpage to reflect the cvs -> svn change. > (changed the cvs link to svn, and modified the instructions therein.) > > Someone may want to make a news announcement. We've missed any announcement since we started the cvs->svn move. Is it way too late now (every user has figured that we move from cvs to svn?) or we should finally officially announce this on webpage? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] I'm online
by Roman Kyrylych 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hi all! Here's a "quick" status report. 1) I have an internet connection at home again! 2) I will finally move to another city by the end of this month (this process is so tiresome and time consuming). 3) My archbox at home is heavily outdated. I will download the needed packages at my job though, so it should be up-to-date on Tuesday. 4) It would be hard to upload updated versions of my packages from my home due to very slow internet connection, and I will be able to do this only during the weekends and 1-2 hours at nights maybe. So bringing all outdated packages to new versions will take some time. Oh, an I need to get used to SVN workflow first. Big thanks to everyone who updated my packages or took them under his maintainership! 5) After the move I will try to get a laptop as soon as possible (I do not plan to take my archbox from home) so I will be able to do everything at the new place. There is a possibility to get a fast internet connection via 3G cell network, so finally all connection problems should gone. Oh, and I think my main system on it will be x86_64 (with a bunch of i686 and x86_64 virtual machines of course). 6) I have around 2000 of unread threads in my gmailbox, already started to read them. 7) Thanks Grigorios, Aaron and everyone else involved in keeping the amount of open bugs at the manageable level. I will try to get back to this as soon as I can, and I need to fix the bugs assigned to me first (what a shame, I have many of them still not fixed). 8) I'm thinking about resigning from from the TU position and concentrate more on core Arch development. I can still maintain some packages in Community if I will have time, but I haven't been active in TUland recently so I feel that it will be better to remove the second part from the "Dev/TU" title. We continue to see more TUs aboard, so I'm sure there are more than enought skillend and confident people to handle packages I used to maintain. Many of them are gnome-related packages and I'm willing to provide any needed help for the people who will take care of them. Formal announcement, package giveout etc. will come later, in the mean time feel free to pick packages you want to maintain. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] problem with i686 repo
by Eric Belanger 15 May '08

15 May '08

There is a problem with the i686 extra repo. Packages are being "downgraded". See http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html Most of the non-xorg stuff are supposed to be uptodate for both repo. Did someone ran svn commit in an old svn tree? The commits ML didn't reported these changes. What happened? I guess it's some sort of DB inconsistency. I'll try to see what happened and to fix it.

[arch-dev-public] X.org upgrades
by Alexander Baldeck 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hey All, just in case you're wondering why I'm rolling out all the upgrades to testing with just mesa 7.0.3rc3, well these I have been running for a while and am just committing my changes. The 7.0.3 Mesa releases will arrive sometime this week. I don't think I'll make it today since I still have to commit i686. (man, devtools/svn is quite a slowdown ^^) Cheers, Alex

[arch-dev-public] Vacation
by Travis Willard 14 May '08

14 May '08

I too will be taking a vacation, mine being a trip to Israel. However mine starts June 7th, and will last until June 21st, so you still have to put up with me for a bit. I just figured I'd get in on the party while everyone else was announcing.
