[arch-dev-public] Away
by Andrea Scarpino 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

Hi DEVs and TUs, my exams session is over, and I need a short holiday in London. I will be away starting from some hours to 2nd afternoon/night (GMT). I am building KDE 4.4.1 packages and everything seems fine. Before to go, I will upload them into my staging/extra dir, so you can take them. This minor release will be released 2nd March; I should come back in time to run /arch/db-extra, anyway Ronald and Pierre are here for everything. Free to fix high or medium priority bugs assigned to me or to update my packages. Thanks. Best Regards -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

I do not need particular assistance, I have permission to backup/remove/create planet folder. The only thing is that I am not sure if we need to install libxslt: planet- venus script requires it (it gives "xsltproc: command not found"), but it seems to work without it. What is our policy about which packages install on gerolde and which not? -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

Something seems a bit out of whack when we are dealing with loads and loads of 5 MB binaries.

The inclusion of some documentation is probably unwarranted as well: $ du -sh /usr/share/samba/swat/ 15M /usr/share/samba/swat/

[arch-dev-public] Fwd: FS#17503: [unzip] zsh completion missing for unzip patches
by Thayer Williams 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hoping for some feedback here from more experienced devs on this one: At some point we began patching unzip with additional flags, allowing it to properly extract UTF-encoded zip files made on the win32 platform. Apparently this has broken zsh autocompletion features. Similar unzip patches have been submitted upstream and all have been rejected. Upstream has considered adding proper support, but has stopped short of committing to it. The question is do we keep the patch and make this a zsh issue, or do we remove the patch, fixing zsh in the process and screwing some win32 zip files?
