[arch-general] libconfig error
by Mike Sampson 05 Apr '09

Hi, just did a pacman -Syu and one of the packages gives an error on install but still seems to install. Is this error harmless and ok to ignore? System is x86_64.

Does anyone know who owns the twitter archlinux account at: http://twitter.com/archlinux Just asking, since it would be useful to post library transitions and big updates (like today's GNOME transition) to twitter so that it's easier for users to stay informed. -- Abhishek

[arch-general] Make arch-announce read only?
by pyther 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

I was wondering if we could make arch-announce a read only list. Sort of like the dev mailing list. Anyone who tries to respond to an announcement could get an email saying something along the lines of "If you have a comment about an announcement, please post it on the arch-general list. Thank you." I do not filter the arch-announce mailings for obvious reason and I do not think I am alone. It is very annoying to see replies in my inbox. ~pyther

[arch-general] [Fwd: [arch-announce] Dropping i686 support]
by David Rosenstrauch 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hmmm ... My only concern about this is that it's often difficult or impossible to run an x86_64 distro inside a VM. So one very definite negative of this change is that it'd restrict many/most people's ability to run Arch inside of a VM - something I've done many times, and have found very convenient, and which would be a shame to lose. Just my $0.02. DR -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [arch-announce] Dropping i686 support Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2009 01:03:08 -0000 From: Recent News Updates <announce(a)archlinux.org> Reply-To: Arch Linux Announcements <arch-announce(a)archlinux.org> To: arch-announce(a)archlinux.org Recently the developers have been discussing the possibility of adding some additional optimizations to our i686 port to improve multimedia support. This would involve reducing the compatibility with older systems. As some of you may have heard ([1], Google translation [2]), this discussion has resulted in the decision to focus exclusively on the x86_64 port. The overall opinion of the developers is that the x86_64 port is now complete enough to justify this decision and that this is in keeping with Arch's philosophy of supporting current generation hardware. The x86_64 architecture has been available since 2002 (compared to i686 which is from 1995), and we believe most of our i686 users have x86_64 compatible hardware. An official time-line for the deprecation of the i686 port has not been established, but an official announcement needs to be made, as the decision has already been leaked to the ArchLinux-BR community. However, it is likely that major updates (GNOME, KDE, Xor g, etc) will not be built for i686 in the immediate future. Users will still be able to build packages for i686 packages using ABS. As most of the architecture specific patches are for x86_64, this should be relatively pain free.
