[arch-general] Heads up: Changes in the next mono release
Hi, I just read an email from Miguel (Mono head developer) that in the next mono release (I don't know when this will be) the .NET profile 2.0 and 4.0 will be removed. So the reference assemblies of .NET 2.0 and 4.0 will be no longer in the package. As it seems the new mono release will have the version 4.0, so they are doing a major version bump. If you need them you have to stay with mono 3.10.0 or someone should maintain an AUR package which provides these assemblies. If someone wants to read the discussion on the mono mailinglist you can find it on the mail archive webpage: https://www.mail-archive.com/mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com/msg30995.html The packages which are provided in our repositories will be working with the new mono release, I will take care of this and move the new mono release to our repository only if all packages are working with it. If this doesn't work, maybe I will provide an old mono3 package and a new mono package for version = 4. If this is possible, have to check this first. For all the AUR packages you are on your own to check them. Cheers Daniel
[arch-general] Drop windowmaker-crm-git from [extra], use windowmaker package
Hi, now that Window Maker development resumed and the new source for the official Window Maker package is the git repository of crm, there is no need anymore to have the crm-git package in the [extra] repository beside the official stable package. I will move it to AUR soon and will maintain it at the AUR. To all the users of the windowmaker-crm-git package, please install the windowmaker package from the [extra] repository, which is the latest stable source from windowmaker.org and even newer than the crm-git package. All features which are in the crm-git package are merged to the official windowmaker package because of the same source. -Daniel

[arch-general] wicd splitted in 'wicd' and 'wicd-gtk'
Hi, like requested as a feature request (FS#22550) and as a solution to one bug (FS#22423), I have splitted the wicd package into two seperated packages. From now on there is wicd: All stuff you need to run the wicd daemon and the wicd-cli and wicd-curses interfaces wicd-gtk: All stuff you need to run the GTK interface of wicd and the autostart file for the client to appear in the systray. So if you want the GTK interface back you have to install wicd-gtk manually after you have updated the wicd package. Forum thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=905851 - Daniel
[arch-general] Changed GNUstep directory in new windowmaker package
Hi, today I have released a new release of the windowmaker package. The important change is the GNUstep directory. I have changed this to /usr/lib/GNUstep. It was requested as a bug report (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15301) and it’s now equal to Debian’s GNUstep directory location. That means, you have to change the directory for the WPrefs.App which has now the new location. All other things should be run without problems. If you have older GNUstep applications, you have to recompile them with the new location if they way located in the old GNUstep directory. -Daniel
[arch-general] [signoff] rp-pppoe-3.10-3
Hi, this is a small fix for the bug reported here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=699763 Now, you have to set explicit the plugin path to the kernel mode plugin if you want to use it. So, it's up to you if you need it or not and it won't be set anymore as default, because it generated too much errors for some users. Please test it and signoff. -Daniel

[arch-general] [signoff] wicd-1.7.0-1
Hi, there is a new version of wicd in [testing]. In the past there were always problems in upgrading wicd, so I have decided to put it in [testing] first. Please test it and give me some signoffs. Big changelog: 1.7.0: Changes for Packagers: - Wicd now supports a -k option, which should be run by the init script when the daemon is stopped to release the DHCP lease but should not be run on a restart of the daemon. - The ability has been added to split Wicd's components into multiple directories. Use --gtk, --cli, --curses, and --daemon to setup.py configure to specify the locations of the respective components. - The preferred way to run the GTK UI is now to use wicd-gtk, not wicd-client. wicd-gtk is a new addition to 1.7 that will never run wicd-curses. wicd-client will automatically decide to run wicd-curses if there is no X session available. Major Changes: - Connection information is available by right clicking the tray icon - Can set the hostname per network for all DHCP clients - urwid 0.9.9 is now supported - Added wicd-cli, a command line interface for use in scripts - Global scripts are now passed parameters specifying the network Minor Changes: - Support for only displaying notifications using -o to wicd-client - Reconnecting now works when measuring signal strength in dBm - ESSIDs made of numbers now work properly - All valid wpa_supplicant drivers are now displayed - Wired network is now displayed while scanning wireless networks - Added wicd-gtk, a command to always and only run the GTK UI - Marked ioctl backend not supported - Use dhcpcd-bin on Debian instead of dhcpcd script Daniel

Hasn't there been a dhcp 4 release for years? Yes, there is a dhcp 4 release, but it doesn't work here. The 3.1.2p1 release is also marked as a productive stable release, so it's ok to use this release for fixing the security issue. I will have a look at the dhcp 4 release later.

The same goes for plasmoids. I cannot install kdemod-plasmoids because it takes doubles and pacman complains that a file exists in both packages! Another reason for this rant is plasmoids not being to run at all. My lancelot plasmoid does not work at all!

I have not yet run into a site that requires moonlight/silverlight. So, until we're actually going to get usage out of this package, putting it in extra is wasted effort. Now, if we have a dev willing to do it, that's fine - I'd recommend asking the mono maintainer or something of the sort. But considering it's not in the repos yet, I don't think we have any devs that care that much. Ok, after all this discussion on this topic, I think I can manage the moonlight package. I will have a look into the moonlight package. I will open a new thread about this later on the public-dev-mailinglist, if it's necessary to discuss further things. moonlight isn't a big package and it belongs (more or less) to mono, so I can handle it together with mono. The proper course for things of this nature is to put it in the AUR, and we can garner some need from that. Cheers, Aaron Cheers, Daniel
