[arch-dev-public] Absence - still - as well as lack of a fast Internet connection
Just a status message from me: I moved over 6 weeks ago and am settling in fine, but my boss is keeping me very busy, I've been working with a professor from Dubna/Russia for several weeks now, and will be doing so until Christmas. This effectively prevents me from doing any Arch work during the day. I don't have my own broadband connection at home yet, so working in the evenings is virtually impossible, as the wireless connections I have access to give me very bad speed, high latency and are unstable. Aaron requested me to orphan filesystems and initscripts. I don't feel that orphaning them is necessary (I will do that if you insist), however, Roman assigned a couple of bugs to me which I cannot take care of. Roman, if you find new bugs for any of my stuff, could you please assign them to someone else as well (for example Aaron for initscripts). On another note, if anyone finds himself with spare time, feel free to do any of those updates (my dashboard out of date list): * Extra::bftpd 2.0 * Extra::davfs2 1.2.2 * Extra::flashplayer-standalone 9.0.48.0 * Extra::ginac 1.3.7 * Extra::hibernate-script 1.96 * Extra::mplayer 1.0rc2 * Core::iwlwifi 1.2.0 * Core::klibc-udev 116 * Core::lvm2 2.02.28 * Core::ntfs-3g 1.1004 * Core::wpa_supplicant 0.5.8 I think flashplayer-standalone doesn't have a new version (it is hard to find anyway). mplayer is just the x264 rebuild for testing. I feel very strong about lvm2, ntfs-3g and wpa_supplicant. Also, I built my own local version of wpa_supplicant_gui with the qt4 version in the source tarball. As we use qt4 now, we might as well use that version in the future. If someone updates hibernate, make sure to adjust our patch to it, it adds some arch-specific stuff. I hope to find some time for arch again after Christmas, but cannot guarantee anything now. I will keep you informed. Have a nice December Thomas

Ahh, nuclear physics? ;-)

Sure, will do. Already resent one patch to Aaron and pointed to another one in another thread.

I have built updated version of both packages and put them into [testing]. Remember: Don't move this into core/extra until qt-4 is moving there. (which somewhat depends on the release of pacman3.1 ;-)) -- archlinux.de

Yeah. I really just wanted to make that easier - Roman, for the time being can you assign Thomas' bugs to me (or someone else if more relevant). These packages aren't exactly "marked out of date" normally, so we'll be fine. Thomas, just so you know I plan to: * Make /etc/profile bourne/posix compliant and move it to filesystem * Have /etc/profile source /etc/profile.$SHELL * Change /proc permissions to 555 * Apply a large swath of these initscripts patches, and release a new version Let me know if you have any issues with this. You can check my initscripts changes here: http://code.phraktured.net/?p=initscripts.git;a=summary Merging the splash and working branches isn't clean so I want to do that tonight, while applying Roman's patch
