I have done a number of changes to base for one last round of changes before we hit rc1. With hermier's assistance, I have audited and cleaned up the default bash profile, as well as making the default locale now be utf8 based. Now, for the complete list of changes:
1) Kernel 3.7.1 2) Systemd 196 3) Locales are now defined in /etc/locale.conf 4) Because locales are not fully propagated by systemd, the profile sources the new locale.conf if the locale is not set in the environment. 5) Bug fixed where vconsole.conf's settings were not set on the virtual console TTYs in certain conditions. 6) Most program specific settings in profile were removed and moved to modular shell scripts under /etc/profile.d in their respective packages. Shell profile now only contains the most important environment setup, except for things that cannot be removed yet. 7) The kernel and its subpkgs no longer use any install scriptlets, as their functionality is now all done at build time. 8) The default bash profile also dropped all shell specific parts of profile, except for zsh and bash shell prompts. Other shells receive a generic shell prompt now. 9) There is a small bug with new kernel that I don't know how to fix yet. AMD's powernow-k8 no longer handles our processors, instead handing such tasks off to acpi-cpufreq. The problem is that we now have no cpu scaling on initial boot up. However, if you reload the acpi-cpufreq module, it works as expected. I saw bug reports for this also on ARCH, so we'll be watching for a fix. Testing details are below: Add this to /etc/pacman-g2.conf, ensuring it is before current. Include = /etc/pacman-g2/repos/ryuotesting9 Add this to /etc/pacman-g2/repos/ryuotesting9: [ryuotesting9] Server=http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/ryuo/ryuotesting9/frugalware-@CARCH@ Replace @CARCH@ with your appropriate architecture. Now: pacman-g2 -Syu And reboot. Thanks for testing. _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
