Note that cryptsetup is an essential tool for setups with system encryption enabled and is required during boot time. It should also stay on our CDs (not only as available package but also installed on the root-image to allow for using the CD as a Live CD, even if partitions are encrypted; AIF probably depends on it as well). Additionally, removing cryptsetup from base will require users to install it manually when using mkinitcpio's "encrypt" hook. If you decide to remove it anyway, keep in mind to: * Keep it on our Live CDs. * Add a note to our default "/etc/mkinitcpio.conf". * Maybe also add some note in AIF.

Hi All, I am tried to update from kde 4.7 rc1 to 4.7 today, but OpenGL compositing does not works (but XRender works fine). I run my system on the nvidia 8600GT card with proprietary drivers. Best regards, Eugene

[arch-general] More urls in PKGBUILD or on package details page
by Sergej Pupykin 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hi All, what if we add somehow direct links to "report upstream bug" and may be link for easier checking new version (RSS link, sf.net/project/..., another download page or something else)? I think direct link to upstream bugtracker should be usefull.

[arch-general] The OpenCL ICD problem
by Ionut Biru 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Forwarding discussion to arch-general mailing list. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: The OpenCL ICD problem Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2011 15:48:52 +0200 From: Vojtěch Král <kral.vojtech(a)gmail.com> Hello, I'm writing to you because of a problem which has arisen with the OpenCL Arch packages. To introduce myself shortly: My name is Vojtech "kralyk" Kral (Czech Rep., EU) and I currently maintain AMD APP SDK (aka amdstream) and Intel OpenCL SDK in AUR. I'm sending this to maintainers who maintain involved pkgs. People that might be also interested are in Cc, please let me know should you find this mail too spammy/annoying :) The problem in question is a conflicting file, namely /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so (and possibly so version symlinks too). This file is currently provided by these packages (that I know of): nvidia-utils [extra], lib32-nvidia-utils [multilib], amdstream [AUR], intel-opencl-sdk [AUR], lib32-nvidia-utils-173xx [AUR] and lib32-nvidia-utils-beta [AUR]. The thing is this conflict should be resolved so that it would be possible to install OpenCL implementations from multiple vendors at the same time on the same system (as requested by the standard from Khronos) while still providing this so file to satistfy dependencies for other either existing pkgs (such as pyopencl) or possible funture ones. This should be done in compliance with the ICD standard, see http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/extensions/khr/cl_khr_icd.txt However, it should hopefully not be that difficult, since most of the packages already comply to the standard by providing appropriate *.icd file in /etc/OpenCL/vendors. And those that don't should be updated accordingly (lib32-nvidia-utils-beta maybe? Not sure.) Also, the standard requests the ICD loader - which is in fact usually the libOpenCL.so library - to be able to enumerate all the ICDs on its own. So this so file is pretty much independent on the vendor it is supplied by, providing the vendor a) follows the standard correctly b) is sane :-) Therefore, a sollution might be to simply pick one of available ICD loaders (a thin one preferably) and make it a dependency for other pkgs. I'm not saying this is an optimal sollution, I'm merely leaving it to your consideration. Feel free to suggest other possibilities. Let me know what you think... Best Regards, Vojtech "kralyk" Kral
