Hi guys, please signoff 2.6.38 series for both arches. It's a security update too so it would make sense, to move in .38.1 to [core] soon. Upstream changes: http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges Features included: - latest stable patches - disabled /dev/kmem - added AMD_IOMMU support - kernel image is now xz compressed - NUMA is enabled on x86_64 - AUTOSCHED (aka the wonder patch) is enabled - aufs2.1 latest snapshot - added additional i915 patch - added radeaon kms fix greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

Which eludes to the original issue - instead of a wrangler, or team of wranglers, who have to deal with everything, let users do the initial assignment, then if it needs to go somewhere else, the team it's been assigned to can throw it back to the "wranglers".

Even though the button name makes no sense, I'll go back to lurking. -- Simon Perry (aka Pezz) [ s a n x i o n . n e t ]

If it's not right, let the wrangler handle it. I think if someone is prepared to even consider submitting a bug report in an environment as intimidating as Arch, give them a go. Hell, I'm shit-scared about sending this e-mail. >> I believe the coders among us appreciate efficiency and automation, >> so >> maybe we can improve this system? > > only if we use bugzilla. Sorry if I'm wrong-top-posting or whatever, I'm using Roundcube. I've had an account on bugs.archlinux.org for a while, I still can't even see the "new bug" button, it doesn't exist as far as I can see. I don't see why being able to say "this bug is in package X" is such a problem, given that only the chosen people are able to create bugs in the first place. You always say you want people to help, but it seems so hard to do so, even when the information you have is easy to convey. -- Simon Perry (aka Pezz) [ s a n x i o n . n e t ]

[arch-general] New list: arch-projects
by Thomas Bächler 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

A new list has been created: arch-projects. This list is for development discussion, patches and pull requests for initscripts, netcfg, dbscripts, devtools (and maybe other projects, those are the ones I could think of). Anyone is free to subscribe, but please, no user discussions (keep those to the forums or arch-general). Fun fact: There was a mailing list called arch-projects once, and it has been deleted, but the old archives are still there.

Hello, what about creating mailing list with all flyspray notifications? I think it can take off some load from bug wrangler person and may be usefull for Arch users.

Please, I'd like to know if it is possible to use ThinkPad W510 touchscreen on Linux. I see there are a bunch of kernel modules for touchscreens, but I can't find this information on the Wiki. Cheers, Bernardo
