[arch-dev-public] New extra package: gnucash
by Aaron Griffin 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

I said I was going to do this ages ago, due to the weirdness that is goffice, and the fact that I "maintain" both goffice and gnumeric already - does anyone take issue with pulling gnucash into [extra]?

[arch-dev-public] Updated perl 5.10.0
by K. Piche 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

I put perl 5.10.0 in testing. It follows the new perl hierarchy, the install file removes the symlink farm that confused everybody and it prints a small blurb about the update. Please test, k -- K. Piche <kpiche(a)rogers.com>

[arch-dev-public] kde4
by Varun Acharya 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi tpowa, Since you are the resident KDE guy, I was curious as to how you're going to handle kde4 when it releases this month. Most sources say that we should consider this more of a developer release, and stability and polish can be expected only from KDE 4.1. So, a couple of questions: 1. Will you get the KDE packages earlier than the actual release date, as you always seem to do? 2. Do you plan on moving these packages to extra or testing...or maybe even unstable?? 3. What naming scheme will you use? Will KDE4 packages become 'kdelibs' 'kdebase' and so on, or will kde3 packages retain that nomenclature for a while? (looking at how qt4=>qt in testing, I presume kde4=>kdelibs/kdebase). This means kde3 packages have to be rebuilt with the new naming scheme kdebase3, and of course all dependent packages with it. I just thought I'll get the ball rolling on the inevitable confusion to follow :) Thanks, Varun

[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.
