Re: [arch-dev-public] Abandoning nvidia 340xx packages - does anyone want them?
My office PC has a NVIDIA GPU supported only by nvidia-340 drivers only. I could help in maintaining the package or doing tests when needed.

Re: [arch-dev-public] Drop hfsprogs
Hi The current status of the package hfsutils v332 is really out-of-date compared to Apple sources [1] v589. For the records, I'm referring to the community/hfsprogs package. Various GNU/Linux distributions approach this package in many different ways. - Debian still maintains it the outdated v332 [2] - Fedora uses a more recent version v540 [3] which doesn't provide anymore mkfs.hfs. A package from another source could create new filesystems. - Gentoo uses the same old version v332 [4] As I don't use this package anymore and I don't think a 10 years old package should live in the official repositories I plan to move hfsutils to the AUR. If someone has a better idea or wants to maintain hfsutils please let me know. If not I'll try to update hfsutils in the AUR to v540.

Re: [arch-dev-public] C++ ABI bump rebuild
Hello I was going to update the bluegriffon package to the version 1.8. The package sits in my directory and wasn't moved to any repository yet. Now I discovered that the release 1.7.2-5 was already moved by Allan in the staging repository [1]. This means that I must not release the package 1.8-1 until the C++ rebuild is completed as Allan noted. The updated gcc package will be directly moved in core when the rebuilt packages will reach their repositories? A public announcement will follow when the rebuild is complete in order to let me build again the bluegriffon 1.8-1 package against the new gcc?
