Hi
A number of packages depend on inetutils merely for the `hostname` command.
Common packages include xorg-xinit and mariadb, which makes that inetutils
is still installed on a large number of Arch systems, although its other
components like rcp, rsh, talk, telnet ... and their server counterpart

I've recently been testing systemd. One issue I encountered is with slapd,
the unit file ignores /etc/conf.d/slapd. Is this a bug, or am I supposed
to configure cmd line arguments (specially SLAPD_SERVICES) another way with
systemd?

Hi,
What is the status of netcfg 2.8.x? When will it hit [core] ?
I have been using it succesfully on my workstation and on two VPS
(static IPv4 + IPv6 profiles).

Works for me:
Apparantly this affects only plain volumes (not luks),
and will be fixed in 1.4.1:

You may want to include the patch already?

Btw, this has nothing to do with NTP (or other time synchrnonisation

The system's internal clock uses epoch time, which is timezone

Same here.
On x86_64, postfix-2.8.3-4 is linked to the new db version, whereas
on i686, it is (accidentally?) still linked to the old.
I've recompiled my own as a workaround on i686.
