[arch-dev-public] current state of packages in core/base and some of extra for release media
Hi guys, somewhere between now and now + a few weeks I would like to release new official media. I will be building new testing builds this week, so to all maintainers who maintain packages in core/base or one of the following packages in extra: aufs2, aufs2-util, ddrescue, dosfstools, elinks, gnu-netcat, joe, lftp, memtest86+, nmap, ntfs-3g, ntfsprogs, ntp, parted, speedtouch, squashfs-tools, syslinux, tcpdump. anything i should know? anything important that has changed recently, or will change? should i wait for a new pacman? any new must-haves? PS: can someone build a new initscripts package? the 2010 copyright is fixed in git, but not yet packaged. Dieter

Cool. I just used the 2009.04.19-core-i686 image to make a new install with no issues.

Only real change is the gcc-4.5 toolchain rebuild and kernel update, which has required one kernel module to be rebuilt. I'm not sure how well aufs2 has been tested.

The next pacman looks still a while off at the moment. Allan

The new kernel is in core since yesterday and gcc 4.5 since last week. Aufs hasn't been tested, but according to the chakra devs it doesn't work well with the .33 kernel. We might need to patch and/or update it to the latest snapshot. Btw: aufs is orphaned atm and only used on the install iso. I could help updating/patching it if needed. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
