[arch-general] [signoff] openvpn 2.1_rc19-2
by Thomas Bächler 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

Tested on x86_64, please sign off. Fixes: - Upstream URL was wrong: http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/openvpn/trunk/PKGBUILD?r1=47204&r2=47… - Display of right configuration files on /etc/rc.d/openvpn stop: http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/openvpn/trunk/openvpn.rc?r1=47204&r2=… - Typo in the script that made it fail when one of the openvpn daemons wouldn't start. http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/openvpn/trunk/openvpn.rc?r1=47594&r2=… There is also another request here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15673 The user says that not all /etc/openvpn/*.conf should be started, but there should be a configuration file that says which ones to start. I am against this, as it adds redundancy and the starting can be avoided by renaming the file to something not ending on .conf. What do you think?

[arch-general] mpd had removed relative volume functionality.
by b4283 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

According to developer Cirrus, the relative volume adjusting method has been deprecated for 5 years. which is finally abandoned in the git version. (does anybody know why mpd in the repo hasn't been updated for sometime while stable 0.15.1 is around?) So anyone who uses mpc to bind a hotkey to shortcut such as "mpc volume -5" or "mpc volume +10" is likely to get a error from mpd. I've written a script to realize such functionality, please follow: http://dpaste.com/70907/ save it as script, chmod +x to it and put the relative values as parameter. E.g. "vol.sh +5" or "vol.sh -10" -- regards, b4283

Absolute values could still be assigned, which means that in the future, the relative volume may have to be realized by clients instead of mpd. -- b4283

Well, I don't know exactly how users update yours system(*), but maybe a "init q" after the pacman -Syu and merge inittab and securetty files in this case is suggested, and/or udevadm trigger to reload rules, or go to "init s" and back to previous level, or find what dev/files are deleted with "lsof -n | egrep 'DEL|dele'" and reload the aproppiate programs, remembers that not only virtual consoles are in transition, also other devices. (*) Some users can do a "hot-update" the whole KDE/GNOME while running and intend to continue working properly. ;) Thats all folks! -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[arch-general] Help: assigning bugs for these type of tickets
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Hi Devs :) The intention of this mail is to clarify the correct/current assignements of task in the bugtraker that are not related with packages from repositories. I think that the category "web page" includes many types of tasks: Webpage: Latest News/RSS/Downloads/Search feed and general webpage code @ Dusty Phillips, Simo Leone, ? Forum: @ ? Wiki: @ Loui Chang, ? Flyspray: @ Roman Kyrylych, ? New mirror: @ Dusty Phillips, Aaron Griffin, (*), ? Problem with torrents: @ ? Others?: @ ? (*) I think that also to Dan McGee, but he is currently working full on pacman. Also these other cases: What about orphaned packages? My current rule is assign to the latest packager or commiter, but what about if this removes himself from the assignement? Can be a FR o BR both are important, if nobody take it, should be reported to mailing list and moved to community, so a TU can adopt it? What about packages that are reported as non-working because compiled with old libs or other issues, fails to build, and still on repos for many weeks/months. Report the FS to the mailing list for removing or move to unsupported? That's all for now. Thanks in advance. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D
