gensplashutils removed from [community], initscripts-gensplash is next

gensplashutils has been removed from [community] and is replaced by the gensplash package. initscripts-gensplash will also be removed shortly . The initscripts packages, for safety reasons, will not auto-replace so this must be done manually. I suggest that this is done as a single action and that you make copies of rc.conf , rc.local and rc.local.shutdown before the upgrade:

cp /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.bak
cp /etc/rc.local /etc/rc.local.bak
cp /etc/rc.local.shutdown /etc/rc.local.shutdown.bak
pacman -R initscripts-gensplash
pacman -S initscripts-splash

You should then restore all of pacman's file backups immediately. Keep your manual file backups as they are, just in case you mess up!

Please upgrade as soon as possible.

Actually, I am going to set a date for the removal: 21st July 2007.

That should give everyone more than enough time to get updated.

@dtw
can you add the packages also to the Arch64 repository? I can't find them on the servers...
