But I didn't understand what "must be prefered over" means (grammar error). You suggested that libinput is the default now. That would make more sense. So is this a warning of some sort, or is it a notification to try to encourage people to switch to libinput? Does switching break any older desktop environments?

Re: [arch-general] Where did the touch pad tapping go?

I had the same problem yesterday after an update. I don't know what is the cause, but it seems that the synaptic options "TapButton[123]" are set to zero instead of "[123]" respectively now. > I had a quick look around but found no news suggesting that any recent > upgrade requires configuring my touchpad, or that I need to install any > new package to get my touch pad back to working the way I want.

[arch-general] svntogit out of synchro?
Hi, Y-day, I’ve received the bunch of updates for KDE 16.04.2 applications. While wanting to look at packaging changes for https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/spectacle/, I’ve failed to found the corresponding commit here: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/trunk?h=packages/spectacle Is that something normal?
