[arch-general] Dangerous dbus update for testing
There's a dangerous dbus update coming up for the testing repository. The package itself isn't so special, as it works fine, but the fact that every dbus-daemon process on your system will crash during the upgrade can lead to unpleasant surprises. Testing users: please be aware of this and run your upcoming upgrades from a plain text console instead of from X. One of the unpleasant surprises is that xorg-server in testing goes down with dbus while it's upgrading, leading to loss of important work or an interrupted package upgrade process.

As for the HAL-enabled version of xorg-server: we will revert it. To make up a nice summary: 1. The dbus code is shit 2. Configuration of keyboard maps is shit 3. Suspend/resume is shit (probably related to 1.) 4. XInput itself is in very bad state already Point 1 can be triggered by /etc/rc.d/dbus restart. Point 2 can be triggered by wanting something else than a US keymap, combined with some nice non-standard variant Point 3 has been reported in combination with synaptics, but I haven't investigated on it further because I know 1 and 2 are valid. Point 4 was told to me at FOSDEM by Daniel Stone, the only maintainer I know that has the guts to mess with code that nobody wants to get his hands dirty on.

It seems you follow arch-dev-public, so you may just have missed the thread: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-February/004865.html As far as I can tell, no one likes the change, but I don't know why it wasn't rolled back or changed.

I know its not part of core, let alone base, but its a very important package in extra. Current xorg-server in testing comes with HAL enabled. Reference: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9563 Is that gonna be the default now? Users probably havent reported back on this, but many had problems with it. On the other hand others didnt. Its already a month in testing, but no decision has been made up yet. Should this be reviewed later? What do devs think about this change? Greg

I looked through these mails quite a bit - but I didn't find my old thread. And I don't have this nice snipped of commandline here in ~/tmp anymore.. May someone tell me the orgirinal KEYMAP in rc.conf? perhaps it works with an english-map. Which program is in charge of the keymaps on console and X? -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version signature.asc Description: PGP signature
