[arch-dev-public] gcc 4.3 and archlinux
by Jan de Groot 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi all, I've prepared gcc 4.3.0 for the x86_64 platform in testing: - kernel-headers updated to 2.6.24.3 - glibc patched with some upstream CVS patches borrowed from gentoo - binutils rebuilt with gcc 4.3 and glibc 2.7-8 - gcc-libs updated to 4.3.0 - gcc updated to 4.3.0 and patched to support gcj without installing/building it (gcc should be able to build java files when gcj is installed now) - removed gcc-fortran provides from gcc-libs, as we had a sobump - changed gcc-gcj to upstream tarballs instead of Ubuntu branch - rebuilt gjdoc which is a native java program - updated java-gcj-compat - rebuilt all fortran applications against new gcc-libs and changed dependencies In the meanwhile, I found out one big change: gcc 4.3 doesn't include C functions anymore when including c++ includes. This breaks a horrible amount of packages, but fixing is easy: Whenever there's a missing function, look it up in its manpage: strcpy: man 3 strcpy, look for include, which will be <string.h> in this case. As we're using C++ now and want a C include, this will become #include <cstring> without the .h and a c prepended. As gcc 4.3 should be backwards compatible with 4.2 (except for libgcj and libgfortran sonames), I don't think there's much trouble moving these packages to core and extra. I'd like to have these merged after Tobias has finished our ISOs (and we have enough signoffs), as I don't want to make big changes right before a release.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev 118-3
by Aaron Griffin 07 Mar '08

** Could someone build an i686 package for me, I have no remote access to my i686 box ** Reverting back to the older way of doing things, with minor improvements where they can be made Module loading and all that should be back to sanity, with slightly improved performance due to moving the framebuffer modules out to a udev rule.

[arch-dev-public] ISO Releaseplan 2008.03 now it's time to really create an ISO ; ), pending work and signoffs
by Tobias Powalowski 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hi due to my work in february this one got somehow delayed so now the new plan for the 2008.03 ISOs: pending signoffs and move to base: cryptsetup dash filesystem findutils hdparm kernel26 klibc klibc-extras klibc-module-init-tools vi xfsprogs klibc-udev? bump to 118? along with the udev update 118 shouldn't we keep it in sync? udev? i think this should be done in next 2 days initscripts? bump to 2008.03 with the last changes from git and it would be good if aaron would add himself along with judd in rc.sysinit. mkinitcpio? do we need a new version to get init= syntax back? if yes we could fix this bug also: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9433 pending signoffs and move to support: iproute madwifi madwifi-utils rp-pppoe tiacx tiacx-firmware wpasupplicant fuse? Thomas is there an issue atm? netcfg? status of it? is it now ready to move in to core? kbd? Roman wanted to add some changes and additions to it, should be also soon fixed. delayed package moves due to rebuilds and issues: libtool perl Packages not mentioned in this mail are not included on new ISOs. If something real important is missing, tell it now. When this list is finished new ISOs will be created. Also feel free to read the installation documentation, if there is something that is not correct anymore or you would like to see changed. http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=installer.git;a=blob;f=arch-install-gu… Any other opinions on it? Thanks for your attention :) greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
