[arch-dev-public] ISO 2008.03 release status update

[Tobias Powalowski]

Hey guys keep cool,
following packages i would like to see in core:

pending signoffs and move to base:
pmciautils, just a small udev.rules fix waiting for signoff.
cryptsetup -->waiting on response

klibc
klibc-extras
klibc-module-init-tools
--> seems to be solid and movable, would you move in Thomas?

vi
--> seems to be signed off, could Eric or Tobias this move in or should i move 
it?

klibc-udev?
the one from testing works fine, we can use this 116-3
instead of 118 which is not buildable here.
--> move in klibc-udev-116-3, would you move in Thomas?

initscripts?
bump to 2008.03 with the last changes from git
aaron and roman will add the final changes and then release a new version.

mkinitcpio?
do we need a new version to get init= syntax back?
if yes we could fix this bug also:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9433
--> Aaron said doesn't seem to be an issue
problem because of missing /dev/mem?
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9813
Thomas is this a showstopper?

pending signoffs and move to support:
rp-pppoe --> waiting for response 
tiacx --> will go to core now
tiacx-firmware --> will go to core now

wpasupplicant?
Thomas movable?

fuse?
Thomas is there an issue atm?
movable?

kbd?
Roman wanted to add some changes and additions to it, 
this is not critical we could live with the old version too.
Roman just tell me, if we should wait for your work or not.

madwifi/madwifi-utils?
I don't have the hardware and cannot test it at all.
I am so undecided, Andy has issues with both the one in core and the one from 
testing.
Varun reported this bug on his macbook:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9802
Others have no issues and gave signoff on general ml.
We could move in the so called stable version or leave it with the snapshot we 
already have in core.(I hate buggy modules:( )

delayed package moves due to rebuilds and issues:
gcc
build-toolchain
libtool
perl

any other comments?

greetings
