[arch-general] [signoff] linux 3.0.1-1
by Thomas Bächler 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

Hi, please signoff the 3.0 series for both architectures. Note: the upgrade path from 3.0-2 to 3.0.1-1 is not entirely smooth if you rely on the vmlinuz26 compat symlink. However, the upgrade path from core/kernel26 to this version is smooth. Upstream changes: http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges Arch Linux Changes: - Rename the package: kernel26 -> linux - Added necessary replaces=(...) - Removed old comments and vercmps from .install file - Removed old comments and replaces from PKGBUILD - added compatibility symlinks for the old kernel and initramfs filenames in order to not break existing bootloader entries (only affects upgrades, not new installations) - removed System.map file, not needed anymore as we provide /proc/kallsyms

Does anybody know the difference between the quiet kernel parameter and loglevel=4 parameter? All of the info I can find states that they should be identical, and /proc/sys/kern -- Jason Steadman http://www.meyithi.com/ http://twitter.com/meyithi

Wouldn't it be better to put it to post_upgrade instead of post_install? Heiko

[arch-general] FYI: https-everywhere 1.0 supports Arch Linux
by Thomas Bächler 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

I just noticed that after updating the firefox plugin https-everywhere to version 1.0, Arch Linux is supported by default. We already redirect the bbs, wiki and bugs site to https by default. With https-everywhere, firefox will also use the https versions of aur, www, projects and all other *.archlinux.org sites. This is a good addition and I hope people appreciate that we offer https for all our sites.
