dear all, it's me again, the testing-remindering-nag-person. this time in the programme... qt4. i knwo that lots was going on and qt is not in version 4 in testing as well as qt3 also there. i ran into lack of pyqt (4) some time ago but as we now have it (thanx again) and i checked the bugs and could not find any qt(4)-related issues, i would say, we finish this and put it in extra. lets give the squeaky wheel some grease :D anybody who knows about stoppers or at least breaking issues, please reply to this email as soon as possible. thanx - D -- .·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´ ° ° ° ° ° ° ><((((º> ° ° ° ° ° <º)))>< <º)))><

It really isn't a high maintenance thing. It has been split into its own repository now, and anyone can take it and run with Eliott's idea (which I'll give a +1). It really shouldn't be too much of a burden on anyone, and you get that awesome feeling of leading a project (even if it is small!). I'm willing to help out, but my "full-time" duties will always tend to be with pacman so this might not get as much love from me as someone else could give it. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] Status questions
by eliott 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Just curious about a few projects that may or may not have falled by the wayside over the break. 1. SCM move to SVN. I assume this is still going to happen. Any progress? Bueller? 2. ABS move to rsync. There was some talk regarding moving ABS away from cvsup, towards a more generalized scm agnostic solution such as rsync. I had a proof of concept abs implementation using rsync functional, and sent patches to *someone* (memory is foggy..maybe it was Dan?). Is this still something on the general todo list? Thanks for any updates or information anyone has.

Of bigger things to notice, I did see you put your entry at the bottom instead of the top. The rest of the orders were chronological from the bottom up, and ChangeLogs are usually in that order. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] frostwire in unstable

Hi, Any reason why frostwire is always in 'unstable' ? Could it be moved to extra, or maybe even community? Thanks, Varun

[arch-dev-public] Web development (was: [signoff] libdownload 1.3)

The wishlist grows: * Integrate signoffs into the dashboard * Allow filtering by out of date packages * Ability to link package with its testing version (or indicate that two versions exist) * Multiple architecture support (this HAS to be someones New Year's resolution, right?) * Integrated out of date packages/pkg_diff list Someone wants to take a stab at this hopefully, the first three should not be very hard changes. We have 29 devs listed, surely someone can help out and hack at our django site. Eliott shouldn't be stuck doing everything here. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libdownload 1.3

Simple upgrade, with a few minor backend features, and removed the DEBUG flag from the build. If you upgrade and pacman can still download things, we're in business.

[arch-dev-public] moving stuff into extra
by Varun Acharya 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hi, I'd like to bring the following packages into extra in the near future and maintain them.. Please let me know if you have any objections - smplayer / smplayer-themes - qt4 based frontend for mplayer <will move to testing first, of course) - transmission - nice simple bittorrent client - miro - very actively developed web tv viewer - gspcav1 - webcam kernel module for many webcams out there. - dvdbackup - only tool which seems to be able to copy exact uncompressed dvd structure without hassles - showimg - very nice qt based image viewer, great for fullscreen slideshows with mouse wheel control FYI, all these packages are in community now, and have received quite a good number of votes. A question about 'pulseaudio' ... the trend seems to be some major distributions (Fedora and Ubuntu) are adopting pulseaudio as default sound server, any idea why? Its in community right now too. Is anyone using this as their sound server right now? Can you share your experiences with it ? If it is clearly superior to the alternatives, then it should be in extra too. If its still in its infancy, then let it remain in community. I'll test it too and get back More info about pulseaudio: http://blog.paulbetts.org/index.php/2007/04/15/pulseaudio-in-ubuntu-feisty-… Thanks, Varun

[arch-dev-public] sudo: need x86_64 build and signoff
by Paul Mattal 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

New sudo 1.6.9p10-3 is up for i686, but needs an x86_64 build and is otherwise ready for signoff. It's an upgrade from p9 to p10, which fixes the broken behavior of the -p flag-- it should work now where it didn't before. Additionally, this release changes the syslog facility from the default ("local2") to auth, closing #8671. Verify the meaty sudo log messages now appear in auth.log rather than ppp.log! This release does not address #7910, because if -p now works, it seems like this problem could be solved more permanently on the gksu side. This release does not address #8602, as I have not yet thought through the potential security implications of this change. Input is welcome here from any who may already have considered this. - P
