[arch-dev-public] Perl pathing issues
by Aaron Griffin 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I first noticed this with urxvt. It can't seem to find utf8.pm. This file exists in /usr/share/perl5/core_perl which does not appear to be in the @INC path, whereas the /usr/lib/ counterpart does. The weird part is that $ perl -e "print @INC;' actually has the /usr/share path in there (without spacing, of course). Has anyone tracked this down? I'm not sure where to go with this, but it breaks URL matching in urxvt

[arch-dev-public] Killing the 'codecs' package
by Aaron Griffin 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

We went over this before - codecs is a useless package, and the licensing is broken. We have opensource alternatives that play just about every format except a few outliers (real media). I'm rebuilding xine-lib right now with codecs removed. Apparently it's an optional dep anyway, as I've been running xine fine without it for some time. mplayer-svn is the last package that depends on the non-free and useless codecs package, so if we can get that rebuilt, we're gold. Now the real question: what do we do with this package. I'm sure it's useful to some people. Should we stick it in unsupported with a warning that no TUs should adopt it? Should we remove it altogether? Opinions?

[arch-dev-public] Non-X monitor shutdown?
by Aaron Griffin 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Another message from the "when did this stop working?" camp: I've had the following in my /etc/rc.local for a while: setterm -blank 10 setterm -powersave powerdown setterm -powerdown 15 Now what this does is put the monitor into the black-but-still-glowing mode after 10 minutes, then shut it off after 15. I have no idea when, why, or how, but it stopped working. I use this on 2 machines that don't run X, so using 'xset' is not an option, but I *think* xset works fine. Does anyone else know much about this? The internet is fairly silent on the topic

[arch-dev-public] Inactive for unspecified period of time
by Roman Kyrylych 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi all! I have <1 minute to write this email, so I'll be quick. I'm very sorry about my disappearance. My connection at job got down during Bug Day this Saturday and I got cable breakage somewhere on my street so I got no Internet at home as well. :-( The worst thing is that I am unable to follow Arch development until New Year (at least) because I've changed my job this Monday, and I don't even have a PC there yet (but I should in near future). Today is the first day I've got internet for a hour or so (I'm sitting at my ex-job now). If someone could update my packages in Extra/Community and keep an eye on bugtracker - that would be awesome and very appreciated. Bye all and Merry Christmas! -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] xine-lib 1.1.8-2
by Aaron Griffin 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

I know this package is in [extra], feel free to ignore me. I removed the dep on codecs, and want to get some testing for different formats WITHOUT codecs installed. I want to attempt to predict any formats we may lose (such as real media) so that I can react properly when people complain. All of my videos I have here work fine in both mplayer and xine, without codecs installed, so I wanted to get some outside opinions.
