[arch-dev-public] Absence
by Roman Kyrylych 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hi! As you all know I wasn't very active recently due to technical issues. Now it's time for personal issues.... I'll be totally absent starting from today and up to approximately 10th of July. I may have access to Internet on 7th and/or 8th, so I'll try to watch for bugtracker then, and if devmeeting will be on 8th - will try to attend to it (small chance though). Bye. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] Kernel 2.6.22 in testing
by Thomas Bächler 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

This is a copy of my mail to the [arch] mailing list: Good morning, just a few minutes ago, the 2.6.22 kernel has been submitted to the testing repository. Please test it and report any bugs that might occur, so we hopefully can move it to current within a week. This kernel will also be the basis of the "Archlinux 2007.07 Don't panic" snapshot. For any changes in 2.6.22, see this site: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_22 I'd like to emphasize two changes: We re-added the rt2x00 drivers which (thanks to the mac80211 stack being merged in 2.6.22) now compile again and seem to work for me (rt2500pci). The mac80211 stack also allows us to ship the iwlwifi driver for intel 3945 and 4965 users. The driver for the 3945 is not as stable as ipw3945 yet, so people should not switch to it yet. However, it is the only driver for the 4965 wireless chipset. Both i686 and x86_64 now include the option for Intel Microcode updates which has been requested several times. I am going to add microcode_ctl to the repos, until then it is available from the AUR. Happy testing and good night Thomas

[arch-dev-public] rc-kernels for x86_64
by Thomas Bächler 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

Hi, I built 2.6.22-rc5 and modules for x86_64. I used the same PKGBUILDs that tpowa used and built all modules that he has in his repos (except the ones that are not available in arch64 repos, like fcpci and ltmodem those won't build anyway). Because of some header changes in 2.6.22, fglrx is also missing, it doesn't build on x86_64 right now. If anyone is interested, please send me a fix. Get the packages here: [kernel] Server = http://www.archlinux.org/~thomas/rc-kernel-x86_64 This repository also contains iwlwifi packages for intel 3945 and 4965 wireless. It is quite unstable as far as I can tell, but it is the only driver for the 4965 (for the 3945, you should use the ipw3945 package for now). @tpowa: If you want to add iwlwifi to yours too, here are the PKGBUILDs: http://www.archlinux.org/~thomas/iwlwifi/

[arch-dev-public] Moving eclipse-ecj from testing to extra
by Jan de Groot 02 Jul '07

02 Jul '07

Hi all devs, Last night I committed a new gcj package to extra, but forgot to move the eclipse-ecj package from testing to extra. Could someone do this one, as I'm at my job currently and have no time to move it now. Thanks.

[arch-dev-public] Archlinux on Froscon conference?
by Jan de Groot 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi all, Yesterday we got a leaflet from Froscon for their conference in end August ( http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/129392/ (their own website is down ATM)) We could opt for a developer room during that conference to hack on archlinux. There's more projects over there, so it's also a chance to meet upstream development hackers to solve things we can't solve, or to have a talk to them about your favourite program they're hacking on. The conference takes place on saturday and sunday 25/26 august 2007. If we would make a reservation for a developer/hacker room, at least Me, Andy and Alexander will go. I would like to know who else would be able to get to Bonn that weekend to see if it's useful to have a reservation.

[arch-dev-public] nfs-utils 1.1.0
by Tom K 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

This has been around for a few weeks, and is described as a "fairly significant new release". So standard practice would be to put it in testing, wait for bug reports, fix them , move to current - right? Except for one thing - who runs testing on a NFS server? I know I don't. I've built it (against current) and installed it here, and all's fine so far, but mine is a very straightforward setup. Would I just put out a call for testers, who can then pacman -U it from somewhere? Or are there better ways to handle this? T.
