[arch-dev-public] [signoff] texlive-bin 2011.1-1 and texlive-* 2011.*

Hello, TeXLive 2011 has been officially released. Packages in [testing] have been updated to reflect this. * biblatex-biber is not packaged and depends and a whole lot of Perl packages. You can find it on AUR, or some for some developer to package it and its dependencies * eptex format generation fails, I don't understand how to fix it, so if anyone has an idea... Rémy.

[arch-dev-public] Retiring hal
by Jan de Groot 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

As all major projects (KDE, XFCE and GNOME, Xorg) have been ported to udev/upower/udisks instead of hal, I would like to retire hal from our distribution. Right now we have several open bugs in hal. Some are packaging bugs, some are upstream bugs that will never get fixed. Upstream development for hal is completely dead and so should our hal package. I see no reason to keep hal in our distribution anymore, so I already went ahead a bit and built gnome-vfs without hal support. Other packages will follow soon and when all is done hal can be removed.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-173-1
by Tom Gundersen 31 Jul '11

Hi guys, New udev release just out. We had the previous one in testing for a long time without pushing it to [core] as it was believed this one was imminent. Nothing earth-shattering in this release. udev-acl is now disabled by default, but we enable it as we still support systemd-less systems. It should be noted that also this release contains a fix for a bug found by some of our valiant testers. Please test and sign-off. Upstream release notes: udev 173 ======== Bugfixes. The udev-acl extra is no longer enabled by default. To enable it, --enable-udev_acl needs to be given at ./configure time. On systemd systems, the udev-acl rules prevent it from running as the functionality has moved to systemd. udev 172 ======== Bugfixes. Udev now enables kernel media-presence polling if available. Part of udisks optical drive tray-handling moved to cdrom_id: The tray is locked as soon as a media is detected to enable the receiving of media-eject-request events. Media-eject-request events will eject the media. Libudev enumerate is now able to enumerate a subtree of a given device. The mobile-action-modeswitch modeswitch tool was deleted. The functionality is provided by usb_modeswitch now.
