[arch-general] [easytag] Updates and improvements for libmp4v2 version 2.0
by Nick Lanham 24 May '12

24 May '12

This makes easytag compile against the newest version of libmp4v2. I haven't done extensive testing, but I have tried it on a number of files with adding/removing/changing tags and it seems to all work fine. Let me know if further updates/changes would be useful. Regards, Nick - Use new API functions - Actually remove tags when requested instead of setting to empty string - Report errors to log when errors occur in reading tags --- src/mp4_header.c | 6 +- src/mp4_tag.c | 189 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- 2 files changed, 119 insertions(+), 76 deletions(-)

[arch-general] Rename extra/python-pygame to extra/python2-pygame
by nado＠troglodyte.be 24 May '12

24 May '12

Hi folks, Since there is a python3 port fort pygame, maybe should we rename the package for python2 with the python version precision. What do you think ? -- Pazdera Corentin (Nado) Clé PGP/PGP key : http://troglodyte.be/pub/pubkey.pgp.asc

[arch-general] [EOL] Support for fcpci and fcpcmcia will end with kernel 3.4.x series!
by Tobias Powalowski 24 May '12

24 May '12

Hi community, today I got the message from Karsten Keil that latest capi20 support for passive isdn cards will be merged into kernel 3.5 series. This means there is no need to manually patch an old binary blob anymore and those 2 packages will be removed from the repositories. If you need capi20 support you have to switch to kernel misdn driver + misdnuser package. Have fun, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-general] [easytag] call for maintainer / drop package
by Tom Gundersen 23 May '12

23 May '12

Hi guys, Easytag is unmaintained and no longer builds against the newest version of libmp4v2, and they have no patches for this (as far as I can tell) upstream. Does anyone want to take on easytag to sort this out, or should we drop the package to community (does any TU's want it?), or to AUR? A short-term solution (which I'll do if no one steps up to take it over) would be to drop support for mp4 from easytag. Cheers, Tom

[arch-general] is scsi hot swap broken?
by Sergey Manucharian 23 May '12

23 May '12

Hi folks, Just noticed after the recent update to kernel 3.3.6, an attempt to remove a SATA HDD: # echo scsi remove-single-device 3 0 0 0 > /proc/scsi/scsi takes very long time: $ dmesg sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Synchronizing SCSI cache sd 3:0:0:0: timing out command, waited 360s sd 3:0:0:0: timing out command, waited 360s sd 3:0:0:0: timing out command, waited 360s sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x00 sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Stopping disk then adding an another HDD to ANY scsi channel does not work anymore. I've checked three differeent HDDs with the same result. The controller is : $ lspci | grep SATA 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation N10/ICH7 Family SATA Controller [IDE mode] (rev 01) I used to use the hot swapping frequently before, never had such a problem. Am I missing something? Thanks for advices/ideas. Sergey
