Arch linux does not shut down

If you are using plymouth-git 20110731-1 you may not be able to shut down your system properly.  A quick fix is described on the AUR page for plymouth-git. I can't confirm that it works since I just disabled plymouth.

Arch Linux initscripts-2011.07.3-1 brings changes

Once again archlinux rolls out an update which needs user interaction. This time you will need more time - there have been several changes to rc.conf. When upgrading you are not told much more than "warning: /etc/rc.conf installed as /etc/rc.conf.pacnew". This happens on many updates and I have started to ignore it. This time it was a mistake though. Many things have changed in rc.conf, you will definitely need to apply your configuration to the new rc.conf style in order to have a properly working system.

KDE 4.7 hit the archlinux [extra] repos

Once again KDE ships a major update versioned 4.7. Read the announcement here while I am already downloading the update. For the archlinux users out there, a little user interaction is needed, some packages are being replaced and there is a conflict between libkexiv2 and kdegraphics-libs. You can probably just hit yes whatever pacman asks you (at your own risk).
