[arch-dev-public] qemu-kvm updates
by Roman Kyrylych 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi! We decided that we provide kvm modules that are shipped in kernel, which is good in terms of stability. But what about the userspace? Our qemu contains qemu-kvm from kvm-28 which is the same version as in .22 kernel. Will qemu-kvm version 35 work with kvm module version 28? If yes then I think it probably would be better to have more up-to-date userspace. Can anyone test this and/or say is this a good idea or not? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] testing and xf86-video-intel
by Jason Chu 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

I'm trying to update my system and it can't find xf86-video-intel. It's looking for version 2.1.0-3, but the package is 2.1.1-1. I thought the db-testing scripts were supposed to fix things like this... I sure hope that it was used in this case... I've re-added 2.1.1-1 to the testing db. Jason

[arch-dev-public] New initscripts in testing
by Dan McGee 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

I pushed a new initscripts package to testing tonight to try to fix these two bugs: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4316 (Status messages malformed when using serial console) http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7294 (base/initscripts: Make isatty a little more useful.) I fixed the second one by doing away with isatty entirely in favor of the bash test option -t. This shouldn't affect anything but the output, but let me know if you see any issues before I push it to current. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] Accidental Absence
by Jeff Mickey 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

So, a couple things have happened that make being active on the internet hard. 1) I moved into a new place. It's rockin'. Let me know if you wanna stop by. 2) This new place doesn't have internet, yet. 3) My laptop's wall wart broke last night. The little led doesn't come on. My other computer doesn't have a working monitor currently. I'll try to keep you updated from work. -- . : [ + carpe diem totus tuus + ] : .

Hi everyone, We're organizing a fifteen day event at the University, which will only get over first week of October. Lots of preparation needs to be done, and so getting online is going to be difficult if not impossible. I'll help out when I can. Thanks, Varun

[arch-dev-public] libgpod soname bump
by Aaron Griffin 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

so.1 -> so.2 I'm pretty sure I got all the packages. If I screwed up your packages, let me know. The following were touched: kipi-plugins gtkpod rhythmbox amarok-base did not appear to need recompilation, but I actually have no idea how to use an ipod with it, as all I have is a broken ipod shuffle. But it didn't crash - if anything needs to be done with amarok, let me know. Thanks

[arch-dev-public] Repository rebuilding
by Jan de Groot 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

As some of us have noticed, there's a new toolchain in current now. One of the new features is GNU hashing for library symbols. This should speed up linking libraries together. To get full advantage of this hashing, the ideal thing would be to have everything built using GNU hashing on your system. I would suggest a full repo rebuild for this. Another reason for a full repo rebuild would be the bugs we get regarding old packages. Last week we had such a package which had been imported in the repositories 3 years ago and needs libstdc++5 to function now. I looked at it and it doesn't even build with the current compiler we have. This would be the ideal opportunity to get rid of packages that don't compile anymore, or to get them fixed. Compared to operation libtool-slay we had over a year ago, this operation is much more work, but we won't have to pass through testing: the rebuilds don't break anything and the packages remain compatible with eachother. What do we think of this idea?
