[arch-general] abs [WAS: arch-dev-public] Package maintainers wanted - heimdal, db, abs
Wasn't there a successor or replacement to abs in the works? A git-based one, I believe? (maybe I'm creating false memories?)

They could be much better served by someone who does. These also have fairly regular soname bumps (even on minor releases of heimdal) so you will need to start rebuilds every so often. abs: I really have no motivation to fix any issues found in this and at the moment an updated version of the package is wasting away in [testing]...

[arch-general] APM and GNOME
Hello people, A few months ago I wrote about my hard disk, which was making a strange noise due to excessive head parking. I just added hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda to /etc/rc.local and the problem was gone. Then I found out that whenever I used gnome-power-manager it would set the APM to 1 if the power source is the battery. I didn't find a way to instruct it to leave the APM setting alone, so I avoided using it. Recently I installed GNOME in my box and noticed that even if I disable gnome-power-manager at startup, some piece of GNOME is still setting APM to 1 when the netbook is on the battery. I don't use laptop-mode-tools nor is acpid running which brings me the question: what is messing up with APM? How can I tell GNOME and gnome-power-manager not to change its settings? Thank you, -- Rafael Beraldo http://devio.us/~rberaldo/

Thank you, gpm has a setting to spin down hard disks when you are on AC. just uncheck the option. System-Preferences-power management- Select AC Power tab and uncheck Spin down hard disks when possible -- Ionuț

I had the same problem on my laptop, and to disable this behavior I created an empty file at /etc/pm/power.d/harddrive which overrides the script in /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d.
