Hey guys keep cool, following packages i would like to see in core:

pending signoffs and move to base: pmciautils, just a small udev.rules fix waiting for signoff. cryptsetup -->waiting on response

klibc klibc-extras klibc-module-init-tools --> seems to be solid and movable, would you move in Thomas?

vi --> seems to be signed off, could Eric or Tobias this move in or should i move it?

klibc-udev? the one from testing works fine, we can use this 116-3 instead of 118 which is not buildable here. --> move in klibc-udev-116-3, would you move in Thomas?

initscripts? bump to 2008.03 with the last changes from git aaron and roman will add the final changes and then release a new version.

mkinitcpio? do we need a new version to get init= syntax back? if yes we could fix this bug also: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9433 --> Aaron said doesn't seem to be an issue problem because of missing /dev/mem? http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9813 Thomas is this a showstopper?

pending signoffs and move to support: rp-pppoe --> waiting for response tiacx --> will go to core now tiacx-firmware --> will go to core now

wpasupplicant? Thomas movable?

fuse? Thomas is there an issue atm? movable?

kbd? Roman wanted to add some changes and additions to it, this is not critical we could live with the old version too. Roman just tell me, if we should wait for your work or not.

madwifi/madwifi-utils? I don't have the hardware and cannot test it at all. I am so undecided, Andy has issues with both the one in core and the one from testing. Varun reported this bug on his macbook: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9802 Others have no issues and gave signoff on general ml. We could move in the so called stable version or leave it with the snapshot we already have in core.(I hate buggy modules:( )

delayed package moves due to rebuilds and issues: gcc build-toolchain libtool perl

any other comments?

greetings tpowa

May i add xorg-server to the above packages too? I know its not part of core, let alone base, but its a very important package in extra. Current xorg-server in testing comes with HAL enabled. Reference: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9563 Is that gonna be the default now? Users probably havent reported back on this, but many had problems with it. On the other hand others didnt. Its already a month in testing, but no decision has been made up yet. Should this be reviewed later? What do devs think about this change? Greg
