[arch-dev-public] updated x264 requires rebuilds
by Paul Mattal 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

https://dev.archlinux.org/todo/46/ The only one left is gstreamer0.10-x264 (Jan), then we can roll x264 and friends out of testing. I can do this one if it's just a simple rebuild and >= depend, just say the word. - P

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] ntfs-3g 1.1120-1
by Thomas Bächler 12 Jan '08

12 Jan '08

This is an update that has waited too long due to my inactivity. Please sign off (NOTE: I didn't test this as my only machine with ntfs partitions is still out of order for now, but I will blindly signoff if necessary, as the quality of the ntfs-3g releases is generally very high).

[arch-dev-public] FW: New extra package: gnucash

Currently, yelp is the only scrollkeeper help viewer > and depends on rarian. You seem to know more about this than i do! Ok, i've stripped out all the scrollkeeper from gnucash and updated the gnucash-docs package (should these have been merged? they are separate .tar.gz sources, so i've just made them separate packages), and updated the version to 2.2.3. I also removed the aqbanking dependency. Before that, i checked to see if you could build gnucash with aqbanking, but not have it listed as a dependency, and it ran fine. It had the internet banking options in the Tools menu if it found aqbanking, or removed it if it could not. However, since something is still the matter with aqbanking or with where gnucash expects it to be (it gives an error message indicating that it cannot locate some aqbanking utility when clicking through the wizard), i just removed it entirely. There were some users in the past that used it, however. Anyway, new PKGBUILDs and .install files are up in AUR. I've got the old ones around if you want to compare. NOTE: slib is still a problem. without some crazy workarounds, gnucash won't build properly with anything after slib-3a1. Again, please forward this on to the mailing list for reference.

[arch-dev-public] Add patch to python to save power for pygtk apps
by Jan de Groot 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi all, It's quite common knowledge that pygtk/pygobject programs are bad for power usage. Newer versions of pygtk and pygobject contain code that requires API from python trunk to solve this issue. However, our python 2.5 doesn't have that code. http://blogs.gnome.org/johan/2008/01/04/enough-wakeups-in-python-programs/ describes the issue, it's from the pygobject/pygtk developer that integrated the new code. http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/python/python2.6-set_wakeup_fd4.… is the backport to python 2.5 done by redhat. I would like to apply the python wakeup patch, put this new python in testing and build the new pygobject/pygtk releases against it. Though the added python API is development code, it's an API addition that doesn't touch existing API, so our python will stay compatible with old python scripts/libraries/etc. The downside of the patch is that this new API could be not the final API, which requires us to update the patch whenever it changes. As this patch has been developed by python and pygtk developers together, I don't see problems here. So the question is: is it ok to apply the patch to our python package?
