[arch-general] efivars mounted read-write, but "operation not permitted, "
by Zachary Kline 04 Aug '16

Hi All, This is admittedly more about Linux in general than Arch specifically, but I’m wondering if anybody has insight into why I can’t delete EFI variables, when efivarfs is mounted read-write. For anybody interested, I am wanting to remove the default boot entry created by systemd-boot, but receive an “Operation not permitted,” message when trying to do so, even as root. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks much, Zack.

[arch-general] links package hasn't been updated

Greetings, developers. 'links' package has been flagged out of date for nearly one month and there is no updated package until now, not even in 'testing'. Is there anything blocking version 2.13 from being packaged? Firefox, which requires time and power to package has already available in 'testing' for less than two days. Compared to firefox, links doesn't need much power to package it. I am willing to create updated PKGBUILD if it's going to help maintaining this package.
