[arch-dev-public] evms in [testing]
I rebuilt evms to fix FS#16079. This moved various files to /sbin and /lib to allow systems with /usr on a separate EVMS volume. I also added a couple of upstream patches, a patch for the --as-needed flag and removed the install file (covered by optdepends). As I do not use EVMS, I would like reports of it still working before I move it to [extra]. This is one occasion where it is safe to install a single package from the [testing] repo. Allan

Should EVMS still be supported? Development of EVMS has stopped quite some time ago, distros that have used it are moving away from it favoring LVM. Glenn

It would not be my first choice for this sort of thing, but big fix patches are still being made upstream (latest 13-Jan-2009). I only did the fix as the bug report was assigned to me.... Allan
