[arch-general] xf86-input-wacom outdated
by Jan Steffens 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

xf86-input-wacom (0.10.6) is one release behind upstream (0.10.7). The package is orphaned, which may be why the flagging went unnoticed.

[arch-general] hid2hci tool missing
by b1 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello altogether I am trying to get the bluetooth adapter of my dell latitude latpop to work. In many tutorials I have read of the tool hid2hci. Unfortunatelly this doesn't seem to be on my system and I can't find it elsewhere. I have bluez and bluez-utils installed. Any ideas which package might contain hid2hci? Thanks Benedikt

Autoconf in [testing] is 2.66, 2.65 is the 'working' one (I've seen problems in using it in one package so far), do I add it to IgnorePkg? Is it supposed to be removed from [testing]? So far I'm manually downgrading after an -Syu which is almost certainly NOT the right procedure.... neither is reporting a bug since obviously Allan knows somethings up with this release.

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] Python-3.x transition with python-2.7 update
by Damjan Georgievski 05 Jul '10

> Python-2.7 has been releases and will be the last 2.x official release of > python. So it is time to switch to python-3.x as our /usr/bin/python and > python-2.7 as our /usr/bin/python2. See > http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Python_Todo_List for all > the details about how to achieve this. What's the rationale for making Python 3.1 the "main" /usr/bin/python? A great deal of python modules still don't support 3.x, there's no WSGI standard for 3.x either so you can't make web apps (and hope to deploy them). Even less C modules are 3.x compatible, and then even less applications. And 2.7 is here to stay for a long time. I think it would be wiser to stay with 2.7 as the main python for now. And maybe switch after Python 3.3 comes out. By that time the 3.x series should have enough improvements to motivate people to port to 3.x -- damjan

[arch-general] ftp.gigabit.nu / ftp.archlinux.se shutting down
by Rickard Eriksson 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Cut from the forum where my co-admin first put this up, however it got closed with reason "trolling"... This mirror will shut down in the upcoming days. Few funny facts: * We never got contacted by anyone before we got added in the official mirror list. We just posted this thread and all of the sudden it appeared. No verification of whom we were and what our intension were. * ArchLinux is fundamentally unscalable in the package manager aspect. * ArchLinux puts the trust in the hands of every mirror owner and their security. ftp.archlinux.se is the prime example of a machine vulnerable to all sorts of things. This affect YOUR security. This is why it's being put down. If the ArchLinux authors would start signing packages this would not be a risk to you. * We posted a suggestion of this in 2006. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5331 -- This is 4 years of insecurity. * We recommend all of you to switch to a distribution caring about user security and atleast signs their packages. Most RPM and APT based distros does this (Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, CentOS, SuSE, OpenSuSE, etc etc etc). Have fun. :-) Yours, Mikael & Rickard
