No, the staging repository is empty. I placed poppler in there because it has a soname bump requiring several rebuilds. I'm still busy finding out which packages need a rebuild, so this one goes to staging.

[arch-dev-public] {archweb} Access to devs/tu to change their profiles.
by Ángel Velásquez 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hi, I wrote a patch days ago, adding the feature of allow a dev/tu, to change their profile_page info. However Dan an Dusty thought this came up in the past, and wasn't accepted, I would like to know why wasn't accepted, or why it shouldn't be accepted this patch. We tried to look on the history but we didn't found anything. Any info could be appreciated!, thanks. -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com

Hi, lvm2/device-mapper 2.02.74-1 are now in testing for an upstream update. Please test and signoff. I couldn't test much the i686 package except in a chroot so 2 signoffs for i686 would be nice. Signoff from users are welcome. Eric Version 2.02.74 - 24th September 2010 ===================================== Allow : and @ to be escaped with \ in device names of PVs. Replace alloca with dm_malloc in _aligned_io to avoid stack corruption. Fix partial mode operations for lvm1 metadata format. Track recursive filter iteration to avoid refreshing while in use. (2.02.56) Revert to old glibc vsnprintf behaviour in emit_to_buffer() to catch overflow. Allocate buffer for metadata tags dynamically to remove 4k limit. Add random suffix to archive file names to prevent races when being created. Reinitialize archive and backup handling on toolcontext refresh. Make poll_mirror_progress report PROGRESS_CHECK_FAILED if LV is not a mirror. Like mirrors, don't scan origins if ignore_suspended_devices() is set. Fix return type qualifier to avoid compiler warning. (2.02.69) Automatically generate LSB Requires-Start for clvmd init script. Fix return code of pvmove --abort PV. Fix pvmove --abort to remove even for empty pvmove LV. Add configure --with-default-data-alignment. Update heuristic used for default and detected data alignment. Add "devices/default_data_alignment" to lvm.conf. Add implmentation for simple numeric 'get' property functions. Define GET_NUM_PROPERTY_FN macro to simplify numeric property 'get' function Add properties.[ch] to lib/report using columns.h. Add macro definitions to report infrastructure for character array length. Remove explicit double quotes from columns.h 'id' entries. Add 'flags' field to columns.h and define FIELD_MODIFIABLE. Add vg_mda_size and vg_mda_free functions. Simplify MD/swap signature detection in pvcreate and allow aborting. Allow --yes to be used without --force mode. Fix file descriptor leak in swap signature detection error path. Detect and allow abort in pvcreate if LUKS signature is detected. Always mask lock flags correctly when checking for LCK_WRITE. Version 1.02.55 - 24th September 2010 ===================================== Fix the way regions are marked complete to avoid slow --nosync cmirror I/O. Add DM_REPORT_FIELD_TYPE_ID_LEN to libdevmapper.h.
