If someone really wants to maintain it, you're welcome to, or else I will adopt it by the end of the day.

[arch-dev-public] Oddness at mirrors
by Travis Willard 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Can somebody with better knowledge of the pacman DBs take a look at this please? http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=40975 I've looked at the mirrors - all the ones he says are broken have a patch dir in the core.db.tar.gz file - I'm not sure what else to look for here. -- Travis

[arch-dev-public] [patch] remove netcfg from initscripts
by James Rayner 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

http://src.iphitus.org/netcfg-release/initscripts-netcfg2.diff Removes netcfg2 from the current initscripts. And... there's one slight problem in moving netcfg2 in. Unless we make initscripts depend on netcfg2, people will upgrade their initscripts and have no netcfg2 at all. Any better way of dealing with this? Let me know when you put initscripts with the above patch into the repo, and I'll update netcfg2 accordingly. If the patch is OK'ed, I can do it. James

[arch-dev-public] Absence - still - as well as lack of a fast Internet connection
by Thomas Bächler 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Just a status message from me: I moved over 6 weeks ago and am settling in fine, but my boss is keeping me very busy, I've been working with a professor from Dubna/Russia for several weeks now, and will be doing so until Christmas. This effectively prevents me from doing any Arch work during the day. I don't have my own broadband connection at home yet, so working in the evenings is virtually impossible, as the wireless connections I have access to give me very bad speed, high latency and are unstable. Aaron requested me to orphan filesystems and initscripts. I don't feel that orphaning them is necessary (I will do that if you insist), however, Roman assigned a couple of bugs to me which I cannot take care of. Roman, if you find new bugs for any of my stuff, could you please assign them to someone else as well (for example Aaron for initscripts). On another note, if anyone finds himself with spare time, feel free to do any of those updates (my dashboard out of date list): * Extra::bftpd 2.0 * Extra::davfs2 1.2.2 * Extra::flashplayer-standalone 9.0.48.0 * Extra::ginac 1.3.7 * Extra::hibernate-script 1.96 * Extra::mplayer 1.0rc2 * Core::iwlwifi 1.2.0 * Core::klibc-udev 116 * Core::lvm2 2.02.28 * Core::ntfs-3g 1.1004 * Core::wpa_supplicant 0.5.8 I think flashplayer-standalone doesn't have a new version (it is hard to find anyway). mplayer is just the x264 rebuild for testing. I feel very strong about lvm2, ntfs-3g and wpa_supplicant. Also, I built my own local version of wpa_supplicant_gui with the qt4 version in the source tarball. As we use qt4 now, we might as well use that version in the future. If someone updates hibernate, make sure to adjust our patch to it, it adds some arch-specific stuff. I hope to find some time for arch again after Christmas, but cannot guarantee anything now. I will keep you informed. Have a nice December Thomas
