Drinks + and food were all arranged, and all travel arrangements made, with developers + and contributors traveling by plane, train, car, bus and donkey. It's with + great sadness then, that we have to announce that the release party has been + cancelled. Beecarl instead decided to jump ship (to use an English-language + phrase), more accurately, he jumped on a ship. If you don't believe it, please + read his a href=http://frugalware.dk/?p=593;blog/a entry. It's hard to + believe that he would prefer a free and easy life on the open sea to hosting a + noisy party for a large number of geeks. Oh well, maybe he'll have returned in + time for 1.4's release party? Until then we'll just sit here and look out over + the ocean... /p + + + h2img src=http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/package.png; align=leftNew Packages/h2 + + pNo new packages have been added to Frugalware since the last newsletter + issue, but that's not because the developers are taking a break. With + Frugalware release 1.3 - code-name Haven - due soon, new packages are not + allowed. Until 1.3 is released the developers are focused on fixing existing + bugs.

It only makes sense, then, that you + might like to take this to the extreme and try some new monospace fonts in + your terminal emulator. There are some excellent monospace TrueType fonts + available, packaged for Frugalware. Terminus looks like a bitmap font (and the + bitmap version is available in another package), very square and very easy to + read, even at quite a small size. It was designed to ease eyestrain over long + coding sessions. Monaco looks much like the default monospace font on Apple + PCs. It's more rounded and with some letters having serifs, looks more + stylish than some other monospace fonts. DejaVu Sans Mono, Droid Sans Mono and + Liberation Mono look very similar and each are excellent fonts. Any one of + these could be just the font you're looking for so please - install and try + them all./p + + h3Remove orphaned packages/h3 + + pEvery now and then you should search for a remove orphaned packages. As + stated in pacman-g2's man page, they were installed as a dependency (i.e. not + installed explicitly) and are not required by any other packages. Since + they're no longer required, they're simply using disk space for no good + reason. Entering the following command will give you a list of orphaned + packages, which you can then have pacman-g2 remove./p + + prepacman -Qe/pre + + pThis section relies on your contributions!
