Subject: [arch-ports] arch64: massive rebuilds coming
Message-ID: <20070202183032.3aef1adf@workstation64.home>

we have fixed the bad linker issues that were made in early arch64
days. we are preparing to drop /lib64/ld* completly.

now we have the fixed gcc package we need to rebuild all packages that
are linked to /lib64/ld* - several houndreds to do. this will take
some time. when we have finished we will update the glibc package and
remove /lib64/ld*.

all arch64 user running selfcompiled software please check using ldd if
it is linked to the correct linker. if not rebuild it using latest gcc
upadte.

right:  ldd /bin/bash
        /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b269cd85000)
wrong:  ldd /bin/bash
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002b269cd85000)


TUs: check community x64_64 packages and fix if needed!

devs: take care that we need to overwrite some cvs entries of the
packages already bumped further (those from testing).

Subject: [arch-ports] FS#6319 codecs fixed - may need -Sf to upgrade
Message-ID: <20070215211425.4321dfef@workstation64.home>

I solved bug http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6319 changing the source to
essential-amd64.

pkg size droped down to 240kB and mplayer is still working here. 

the files went into the new and recommended diretory and a symlink
is created to the old location. pacman2 may need switch -force to
install and handle the link correctly.

pacman3 did it well:

[root at workstation64 andyrtr]# pacman -U /var/abs/chroot/current/home/andyrtr/current_packages/codecs-20061203-1.pkg.tar.gz

error: the following file conflicts were found:
