Any reason we can't move these to [extra]? Jan, you mentioned that some packages were moved to extra already, do you know which ones? If I get no objections, I'd like to push these packages to extra tonight.

[arch-dev-public] [draft] QT-4 and QT3 moved to [extra]
by Pierre Schmitz 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

As announced last year* and after a longer period of testing, QT in version 4 and 3 was moved to [extra]. At least until the final release of KDE4 there are plenty of packages which still use version 3 of QT. Therefore a new package called qt3 was introduced. The dependencies of all packages are updated according to this change. The update should be quite smooth. Pacman only notfies about replacing qt by qt3 and qt4 by qt. If you don't want to have qt-4 installed just remove it with "pacman -Rc qt" after the update. If you are using any third party repositories like KDEmod please wait until they have updated their packages, too. Do not force any updates! If there are still any issues, please report them at http://bugs.archlinux.org. *) http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007-November/002910.html -- http://www.archlinux.de

As announced last year* and after a longer period of testing, QT versions 3 and 4 have now been moved to [extra]. At least until the final release of KDE4 there are plenty of packages which still use version 3 of QT. Therefore a new package called qt3 was introduced. The dependencies of all packages are updated according to this change. The update should be quite smooth. Pacman only notifies about replacing qt by qt3 and qt4 by qt. If you don't want to have QT version 4 installed just remove it with "pacman -Rc qt" after the update. If you are using any third party repositories like KDEmod please wait until they have updated their packages, too. Do not force any updates! If there are still any issues, please report them at http://bugs.archlinux.org. Community packages may not be updated with the new versioning scheme of QT, so give your TUs some time to make the required changes. *) http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007-November/002910.html -- http://www.archlinux.de

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] wpa_supplicant
by Pierre Schmitz 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi, it seems I have missed the fact that wpa_supplicant_gui I moved from testing to extra forces wpa_supplicant to be moved from testing to core, too. So please signoff to fix this issue. I have tested it on i686. -- http://www.archlinux.de

by Varun Acharya 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi guys, Would appreciate if someone builds transmission-1.01 for i686 for me, because my Virtualbox install is kernel panicking and I don't have time for a few days to figure it out. Simple pkgbump, nothing funky.(x86_64 is done).Hey tpowa, andy tells me you have the day off ; ) ;) Thanks, Varun

[arch-dev-public] [Fwd: New nvidia legacy package needed]
by Thomas Bächler 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

I just received this E-Mail from a user. This needs, instead of 2, we now need 3 nvidia legacy packages for i686. Can anyone find a source for this? -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: New nvidia legacy package needed Datum: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 01:57:39 +0100 Von: Andrea Cimitan <andrea.cimitan(a)gmail.com> An: thomas(a)archlinux.org I've just pointed out that 100.14.xx will be the latest nvidia drivers to support non-SSE cpu (so like Athlon Thunderbird, Classic, AMD Duron, Pentium III, etc etc). http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=1522860&postcount=10 This is why the driver in testing (169.07) is making my pc crash/freeze :) (it is nvidia fault not yours...) So a new -legacy driver is needed before killing PCs with 167.xx drivers series :D Regards
