[arch-general] xf86-input-wacom outdated
by Jan Steffens 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

xf86-input-wacom (0.10.6) is one release behind upstream (0.10.7). The package is orphaned, which may be why the flagging went unnoticed.

Hello altogether I am trying to get the bluetooth adapter of my dell latitude latpop to work. In many tutorials I have read of the tool hid2hci. Unfortunatelly this doesn't seem to be on my system and I can't find it elsewhere. I have bluez and bluez-utils installed. Any ideas which package might contain hid2hci? Thanks Benedikt

Autoconf in [testing] is 2.66, 2.65 is the 'working' one (I've seen problems in using it in one package so far), do I add it to IgnorePkg? Is it supposed to be removed from [testing]? So far I'm manually downgrading after an -Syu which is almost certainly NOT the right procedure.... neither is reporting a bug since obviously Allan knows somethings up with this release.

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] Python-3.x transition with python-2.7 update
by Damjan Georgievski 05 Jul '10

> Python-2.7 has been releases and will be the last 2.x official release of > python. So it is time to switch to python-3.x as our /usr/bin/python and > python-2.7 as our /usr/bin/python2. See > http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Python_Todo_List for all > the details about how to achieve this. What's the rationale for making Python 3.1 the "main" /usr/bin/python? A great deal of python modules still don't support 3.x, there's no WSGI standard for 3.x either so you can't make web apps (and hope to deploy them). Even less C modules are 3.x compatible, and then even less applications. And 2.7 is here to stay for a long time. I think it would be wiser to stay with 2.7 as the main python for now. And maybe switch after Python 3.3 comes out. By that time the 3.x series should have enough improvements to motivate people to port to 3.x -- damjan
