[arch-dev-public] [core] lzo and pkg-config
by Jud 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Hi all, In trying to be consistent with Arch's standard of naming packages the same as upstream, I have notice two packages that will need attention. lzo2 ==> lzo pkgconfig ==> pkg-config The old lzo was only required by transcode which is now fixed. Can the old lzo be moved into unsupported? lzo2 (required by): * archboot * lzop * mkvtoolnix * openvpn * transcode There seems to be a few packages that have 'pkgconfig' as a 'makedepends', this could easily be a one-off fix as needed when that particular package needs to be updated. pkgconfig (required by): * dssi * python-vpython This will be the last time I attach full PKGBUILDs, I'm off to try and learn SVN. Thanks.

[arch-dev-public] WICD, up for grabs
by Eduardo Romero 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Well, I have updated wicd quite a few times already, since I was using it to test something in my network. I had my few share of bugs opened for wicd, but now, they are all closed, hopefully, closed and dead. But, well, I have no more need for wicd, so, I am officially retiring from maintaining it. Feel free to grab it, or do with the packages what you want. To this point nobody has showed interest in taking it. So, let's hope someone takes it and give it the care it should have. I honestly have no means to test it to full capacity, so for half the bugs I had to rely on what others told me. I send this email, because I won't like it to be there sitting outdated and uncared for too much. PS: I just upgraded it for the last time, to version 1.5.6, because it seems to fix some problems. Thanks, Eduardo "kensai" Romero

[arch-dev-public] bluez from testing and pilot-link
by Andreas Radke 05 Jan '09

pilot-link update introduced a changed dependency and this now fails with bluez from testing though new bluez provides bluez-libs [root@laptop64 andyrtr]# LANG=C pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... testing is up to date core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... :: Replace bluez-libs with testing/bluez? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: pilot-link: requires bluez-libs>=3.32 can't pacman handle the provides array well? -Andy

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] klibc 1.5.14-2
by Thomas Bächler 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

This fixes the broken ext4 detection in fstype and kinit, ext4 should now work out of the box with mkinitcpio. It also adds a patch to build against 2.6.28. The ABI version is unchanged, so no other packages need to be rebuilt.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libnl 1.1-1, iw 0.9.7-1, crda 0.9.5-1
by Thomas Bächler 04 Jan '09

With 2.6.28, the new wirless regulatory infrastructure is there. The above packages are in extra (libnl) or testing (iw, crda). If we want proper wireless support, we need these packages in core. It works like this: - Install crda - Uncomment the right country code in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom - Add wireless-regdom to your rc.conf DAEMONS and run /etc/rc.d/wireless-regdom start The kernel will now know on which frequencies you are allowed to send. Without this, you should only be able to access a small number of channels. The cfg80211_regdom kernel module option will be removed in 2.6.29 and should not be used anymore.
