What do you think needs doing? I doubt I'll be able to help much, but I'm curious. I gave the kill-klibc branch a try in a VM, but --as you noted-- all I got was a kernel panic (http://i.imgur.com/h6xDu.png).

[arch-general] [Request] Remove libpthread-stubs from packages svn/trunk
by arch＠nezmer.info 08 Jan '10

08 Jan '10

Can someone remove libpthread-stubs from packages svn/trunk? The package obviously was removed from the repos a long time ago and tools like pbget would fetch an outdated PKGBUILD.

[arch-general] go-openoffice not opening templates - anybody else?
by David C. Rankin 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Guys, I had to uninstall go-openoffice today and install the regular (beta) version so my templates would open again. When I would try and open them in go-oo, the window would open like it was trying to open the template, then the window would just disappear. Has anyone else had a problem with go-oo and templates? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

The Xiph.org people are looking for some help getting things out the door. I expect that there are a good many capable Ogg/Vorbis users here in Arch-land... Anybody interested?

Aside from gettext, what else is outstanding that should happen before a release? We've recently gotten interest from someone who wants to get some work done on libao, I am wondering if there is some possible work-force-multiplier available in getting releases of both moving now.
