[arch-dev-public] libgpod update and corresponding rebuilds
by Daniel Isenmann 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi, I would like to update libgpod to version 0.6.0, because the new library supports the new ipod models. I think every ipod user with a new model would be happy about it. Now there must be some rebuilds for it. I plan to put the packages in testing first. Following packages depends on libgpod: gtkpod amarok-base kipi-plugins rhythmbox gtkpod, rhythmbox and kipi-plugins are no problems. I have rebuild them locally without problems. amarok-base (version 1.4.7-2) is in testing right now, but in CVS version 1.4.8 is commited. Should I just bump amarok to 1.4.8 in testing, together with amarok-engine-xine? Damir can you tell me more information on it? Thanks, Daniel

[arch-dev-public] Daemon shutdown on uninstall?
by Aaron Griffin 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hey all, this bug report brings up an interesting point: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9030 Should we be stopping /etc/rc.d/ daemons on uninstall? My opinion is already expressed in the bug report, so I'll spare you here. If anyone feels strongly about it, please "sound off" in the bug report itself.

The code is identical to my patched 1.8.10 version, the debian guy only added some configure and ifdef stuff to check if the system even supports ACLs. Please sign off.

[arch-dev-public] New package group in extra: fprint
by Thomas Bächler 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

The fprint project (http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page) has been around for about 3 months now and produced quite usable results. Right now, there are three packages: - libfprint A library that abstracts the tasks of enrolling and verifying fingerprints and includes hardware drivers. Currently only USB readers are supported and are accessed using libusb. There is no stable API yet, however the library is in a usable and stable state. Note that many common USB fingerprint readers and laptop builtin readers are supported, including the ones supported by the thinkfinger project! - fprint_demo This application demonstrates what libfprint can currently do. You can enroll fingerprints, verify your fingers or identify fingers from a set of enrolles prints. - pam_fprint This pam plugin allows authenticating with your fingerprint. It currently only checks your finger against the first enrolled print it can find in your $HOME and is not configurable. I am adding these packages to extra now.

[arch-dev-public] Removing 'dog' from extra
by Aaron Griffin 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

What is 'dog', you ask? I asked the same question. http://archlinux.org/packages/1933/ I can't seem to find the source anywhere. And it looks pretty lame. Any objections to removing it?
