This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script. It was generated because a ref change was pushed to the repository containing the project "Arch Linux initscripts repository". The branch, master has been updated via b329364663801e609a56f2f6a19d53bf5c754873 (commit) via bf329c43dc671746e23c1760f9a674c58898aebb (commit) via d8796827633d533e53ba7e158ee6354c38d0e88e (commit) from e98a352e9568ec31b33af8671987d026f1f73647 (commit) Those revisions listed above that are new to this repository have not appeared on any other notification email; so we list those revisions in full, below. - Log ----------------------------------------------------------------- commit b329364663801e609a56f2f6a19d53bf5c754873 Author: Tom Gundersen <teg(a)jklm.no> Date: Fri May 6 21:37:50 2011 +0200 Revert "udev: do not automatically save persistent net/cd udev rules to /etc on boot" This fixes FS#24115. The persistent net/cd rules will go away soon, but no replacement is in place yet, so we reinstate the copying magic. This partially reverts commit e9b658239f45d858ff7b30b46441b8733d20f151.

They should not do this as this folder is supposed to be internal to initscripts, and use ck_daemon instead. However, we add this workaround to minimize the pain. Should be removed one day.

[arch-projects] [initscripts] /sbin/rc conflicts with plan9 package
by Tom Gundersen 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi all, I missed this conflict when I merged our new rc script: <https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24082>. The two packages in question are in [community]. I cannot see the conflict with extra/cmus, so I dont know what that is about. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this? We could rename our script, or we could as plan9 packager to rename his I guess... Cheers, Tom
