 I did the mistake with origin/devel for util-linux-ng upstream three
 years ago. People was confused. Now we use origin/master like all
 other projects.

This reminds me your note:

https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2009-July/004519.html

PA does not make use of hardware mixing. And I don't plan to change
that. It's obsolete technology. CPUs these days come with extensions
such as MMX or SSE precisely for speeding up DSP tasks such as PCM
mixing. This is way more flexible that hw mixing, and definitely the
way to the future, both on the desktop and on embedded envs as well.


The "obsolete technology" -- who made this decision? Is it your private
opinion or any suggestion from sound card manufacturers?

It seems that HW companies still produce the "obsolete technology".

heads up: libuuid moved

2009-07-25 Thread Karel Zak

 I have moved libuuid and uuidd from e2fsprogs to util-linux-ng. This
 change should be invisible for all packages in rawhide which already
 depend on libuuid, libuuid-devel or uuidd packages.

 The packages that still depend on e2fsprogs(-devel) have to be fixed.

 For more details see "Heads Up: e2fsprogs library split-out":

art of packaging: fluxbox-pulseaudio

 ... it means the package contains one empty file. Is it really normal

 Note that I'm also going to move libuuid (and all UUID utils) to
 util-linux-ng in next few days.
 
 You don't have to care about this change if you properly set
 dependences in your packages to libuuid, libuuid-devel or uuidd.

libblkid and BuildRequires: e2fsprogs-devel

2009-06-08 Thread Karel Zak

 The libblkid has been moved from e2fsprogs to util-linux-ng.

 Please, check your spec files and update BuildRequires:

- BuildRequires: e2fsprogs-devel
+ BuildRequires: libblkid-devel

 if the package depends on liblkid.

 Hmm... that's problem. There is still huge number of packages that
 depend on e2fsprogs-libs :-(

 I'm moving libblkid from e2fsprogs to util-linux-ng right now. It's
 expected problem and should be fixed after e2fsprogs rebuild.

 Hmm.. spend for what? For example "ps aux" uses all terminal columns
 and on traditional terminal with 80 columns there will be less space
 for the command column. So we will lost a lot of useful information
 about all processes, because there is one process that running with
 obscure username. I think 8 chars is good compromise. BTW, if you

 ps -eo user:14,pid,%cpu,%mem,vsz,rss,tty,stat,start_time,time,command
