[arch-announce] Welcome Geoffroy Carrier
by Recent News Updates 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

I want to wish a warm welcome to our new developer and bluetooth maintainer, Geoffroy Carrier (gcarrier) For those who don't know Geoffroy, he's been with us for some time, helped out with pacman development (in particular, with code in the signed-packages arena), and has been a TU for since May of this year. He plans on primarily helping us out with Bluetooth packages (which we've been slacking on these days), among other things. Hip-hip-hooray! URL: http://www.archlinux.org/news/426/

[arch-announce] Note on fresh TeXLive installs
by Recent News Updates 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

With the latest update of texlive-core, some new hyphenation patterns cause TeX capacity to be exceeded when some formats are created. In the file /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, change the line trie_size = 600000 to trie_size = 700000 Then run sudo fmtutil-sys --missing and everything will be fine.
