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.
