Ah thanks, I'll look at it. (I had not noticed your patch when I wrote the above). But even if it works I'd prefer to ask the dev of dvisvgm first for his expert opinion on this patch. I've already asked him actually. > Another solution would be to use > clang++ ;) Given the complexity and the integrated nature of the texlive build environment, that would probably be hard to achieve locally. A cleaner approach would be to (temporarily) package dvisvgm separately and disable it in the texlive-bin configuration. I'll contact you offlist on this if this becomes a necessity ;) Rémy, thanks for the patch btw ;) F

[arch-dev-public] Anyone using lilo?
by Eric Bélanger 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Hi, Roman has flagged my lilo packages. Lilo developpement is now active and lilo 23.0 was released. Unfortunately, my only system using lilo is no longer working. Is there anyone else using lilo? Ideally, it would be a dev who would take over the package or, at least, a user willing to work with me in testing the new packgae before it hits the testing repo. Thanks, Eric

[arch-dev-public] bbs.archlinux.org is now switched to https only!
by Thomas Bächler 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

I just performed the switch to https only on bbs! I also adjusted some internal URLs, so all files will be properly fetched via https directly. http is redirected automatically. Note that the navbar links on Archweb and all other sites still point to http, but that is redirected automatically. There is a catch: 1) Apache configures SSL per-vhost. That means that even though we have a wildcard certificate, the browser must support SNI for name-based vhosts to work. All clients that are not SNI-capable will be redirected to www instead. 2) wget doesn't like wildcard certificates. That means you need to use --no-check-certificate with wget. 3) Our certificate is from CACert. AFAIK, this is not included in many browsers by default. If you use Arch Linux, at least everything that uses the OpenSSL certificate store and all Mozilla browsers are CACert-enabled - on other operating systems, our certificate might show up as untrusted. Let me know if any of the above (especially 1) cause any problems.

Hi, wine package from extra is orphaned and seems that nobody wants to maintain it. What do you think about moving in community where can be maintain better? We have several trusted users that want that. -- Ionuț

[arch-dev-public] SCons major revision update
by Ray Rashif 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Currently extra/scons-1.3.0-1 is marked out-of-date, which is probably due to the fact that since last month, version 2 has become the stable branch upstream. From http://www.scons.org: "14 June 2010 SCons production release 2.0.0.final.0 is now available from the download page at SourceForge. This is the production release for the 2.0 series. The 2.0 series drops support for all pre-2.4 versions of Python. See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes in the release." Version 1 is still supported, as evidenced by the development branch updates: "26 June 2010 SCons release 1.3.0.d20100626 is now available from the download page at SourceForge. Fix the ability to append to default $*FLAGS values (which are implemented as CLVar instances) in a copied construction environment without affecting the original construction environment's value. See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes in the release." The following are the packages that makedepend on scons: == extra == hydrogen ardour linuxdcpp == community == ffmpeg2theora oregano btanks kleansweep pingus dangerdeep fceux mypaint glob2 We can either update it to version 2 or move version 1 to a scons1 package. If there are no objections and build issues, I'll go ahead with the former, as it doesn't appear to be that popular to warrant both major branches in the repos. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD
