[arch-general] Drop windowmaker-crm-git from [extra], use windowmaker package
by Daniel Isenmann 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi, now that Window Maker development resumed and the new source for the official Window Maker package is the git repository of crm, there is no need anymore to have the crm-git package in the [extra] repository beside the official stable package. I will move it to AUR soon and will maintain it at the AUR. To all the users of the windowmaker-crm-git package, please install the windowmaker package from the [extra] repository, which is the latest stable source from windowmaker.org and even newer than the crm-git package. All features which are in the crm-git package are merged to the official windowmaker package because of the same source. -Daniel

[arch-general] shadow - ABS build - public key verification failed
by David C. Rankin 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Allan, All, Rebuilding shadow from ABS, I got the following warning for public key verification failure: ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... shadow-4.1.5.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (unknown public key 5A0A399AEA7CF5AD) ==> WARNING: Warnings have occurred while verifying the signatures. Please make sure you really trust them. I don't know if this is important or just a side-effect of the new pacman package, but I thought I would pass it along. Does this type of warning need a bug report? I'm happy to file it if it does... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] GHC 7.4.1 or HP 2011.4.0.0??
by Magnus Therning 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

It's been out for a day now... this would be a good time to decide whether ArchLinux should be bold and move to a haskell-platform-free state, or trudge on with HP and the ache it causes. If we're moving to 7.4.1 there's a lot of work with getting ArchHaskell in shape for it, so the longer notice the better :) If we're to trudge on with HP then we really ought to move to 2011.4.0.0, which also means a new version of GHC and a lot of work on ArchHaskell, so the longer notice the better :) Please, please, please, can we move on this soon? I'm available to help out with [extra]&[community] packages if need be, updating PKGBUILDs, building, verifying other's changes, etc. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

Do not hold me to this but I have never been able to use non standard sizes passed to grub or grub2 and then once X has started it switches to my actual screen rez of 1900x768 or something like that. For me though when I run 1280x800 in grub when I am outside of X everything seems fine no large text and everything fits on screen. Not sure if any of this actually if of help but figured would be worth sharing in case it spurs some other ideas for you.
