[arch-dev-public] Possible signoff addendum
by Aaron Griffin 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

One of the things I was thinking about, because sometimes signoffs can stagnate.... Should we have a time-based limit? That is, if a package has been in testing for X days, with no complaints, but no signoffs, yet, can we consider it fully functional, assuming the packager is comfortable with that. I'd like opinions on this. I'm trying to solve the issue of the big ol' backlog of pending-signoff packages. Cheers, Aaron :wq

[arch-dev-public] updating my packages
by Paul Mattal 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

All, As many of you may have noticed, my time for Arch lately hasn't been so much. We all go through cycles, this one is going on somewhat longer than I'd hoped. Henceforth, embracing the open source way, I'm encourage any developer who wants to update my packages at any time to do so. I will not be even slightly offended. It's more important that we all be able to scratch our own itches when the need arises, and if we don't like the direction something has gone, we can always talk about it and change it down the line. You're all developers because we trust your judgement.. feel free to go with that. Short version: If you want, update my packages whenever you want, involving me in whatever way you want, or not at all, in the process. If you prefer to take over ongoing maintenance of a package, shoot me an email. Best, Paul

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] iwlwifi-3945-ucode 15.28.1.6-1
by Thomas Bächler 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Updated the ucode for both architectures. I also removed the old ucode that didn't have the ABI version number in the filename, as that is only needed by very very very old versions of iwlwifi which probably fail to work anyway. Tested and working fine here on x86_64, please sign off.

[arch-dev-public] Signoff bumps
by Aaron Griffin 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

I got a few emails regarding packages stuck in testing without signoffs: mdadm, cracklib, jfsutils, sdparm, pcmciautils These look like relatively lesser used packages... so if no one will signoff on them, you can consider me signed off. (sdparm runs fine, heh) Any other packages stuck in testing right now? Feel free to use this thread to point out packages spending too long in testing Cheers, Aaron
