[arch-dev-public] Coming back
Hi all. Before I say anything else - my apologies for not only being inactive, but also for not keeping in touch. Life has been challenging recently, and remains so in many ways, but I feel that now would be a good time to get back to Arch business. Anyway, onwards. Welcome to the new guys - great to see you here. I've been reading the lists, so I think I'm up to date with most things. I see I lost a bunch of extra packages in that orphanisation incident - which is fine. I also see 1300+ orphans still left, so I reckon I won't be stuck for work. :) I still have 16 core packages, so I'll be looking at those first. In no particular order: renaming lzo2 to lzo - as brought up on this list last month. lzo is also out of date, so that works out nicely. openvpn - will need a rebuild because of the above, and is also the subject of four FRs in Flyspray. openswan - our package is 2.4.11, current release is 2.6.19... I may have missed one or two there... :P libldap - we've been using the 2.3.x releases, when we should be using the 2.4.x - latest stable release, and all that stuff. This will bring a soname bump, so I'll put together a To-Do for it when the time comes. portmap - rebuild to enable tcpwrapper support, as per FS#7096 I also have a minor BR about linuxdcpp, which is now orphaned and out of date, but I'll fix and update it anyway. After that, I think it should go to Community, unless anyone else here wants it - I don't anyway. If I find myself pining for anything that I used to look after, I may come looking. Feel free to say "Well, wtf were you when it needed updating??" :) One small housekeeping request: Aaron, could you authorise tomk@runbox.com for this list, and tom@archlinux.org for the arch-dev list? Thanks. That's it for now. Good to be back, see you around the water-cooler. Tom K.
Welcome back! Good to see you returning. I hope all is well in TomK-land (make that Ire-land) On Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 8:31 AM, Tom K <tom@archlinux.org> wrote:

I assume you didn't want a subscription to arch-dev-public for the runbox address, or else you would have subscribed already. I set you up with a sender filter so that you can post from that address. I also sent tom@archlinux.org an invite for the private list. Let me know if you got it
