[arch-dev-public] Patching Flyspray is needed
by Roman Kyrylych 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi again, looks like I have mailday today :P I've noticed that someone updated Flyspray to the latest version (haven't checked if "SQL error when searching" bug is fixed yet) but it's needed to be patched every time after update: "Operating System" should be replaced with "Architecture" everywhere - it's our hack for Any/686/x86_64 in report details. Please do this when time permits. Thanks in advance! -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] [WARNING and signoff] klibc 1.5.14-1, klibc-extras 2.5-1, klibc-udev 128-1, klibc-kbd 1.15.20080312-7, klibc-module-init-tools 3.4-2, v86d 0.1.7-1

I updated klibc from 1.5 to the Testing 1.5.14. We had to patch 1.5 so heavily to even work and it had evil bugs, so going with 1.5.14 is better. First of all, it won't upgrade smoothly due to a pacman bug. Please do rm /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm to remove a symlink that causes lots of false file conflicts (http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-September/012971.html). After that you can update. If you want to test these, DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR CURRENT INITRAMFS AND DO NOT WAIT FOR A KERNEL UPDATE TO DO SO. I only ran x86_64 on one machine, i686 is completely untested. Please do the following: mkinitcpio -k 2.6.26-ARCH -g /boot/kernel26.img.newklibc Then boot the kernel26.img.newklibc instead of kernel26.img (that can be done directly from grub). Here is the news: - Removed mknod from klibc-extras, using the klibc one instead - Update to klibc 1.5.14, fixing a memory corruption and probably more - Add resolve-modalias to klibc-extras - Update klibc-udev, it should now be in the same state as our udev package. Module blacklisting with disablemodules= or load_modules=off from the kernel commandline should now behave exactly like in the real system. - Updated v86d, I hope the segfault bug on i686 is now fixed due to the klibc update. Please test thoroughly and sign off.

Hey guys, I got 3 important mails from Jud <jud(a)judfilm.net>. I actually liked the work he put into it, and have included the messages below. Jud, if you are willing to do this kind of work and keep up to date on these things, I will gladly give you write access to arch-dev-public to keep us on the ball here. Let me know. Anyone willing to step up to the plate for any of these (especially tomk's packages)? I know some of them have already been addressed. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: Stalled Testing Packages 20080917 nasm 2.01-1 bluez 4.1-1 miro 1.2.7-1 policykit 0.9-2 tor 0.2.0.30-1 gnash-common 0.8.3-4 smc 1.5-1 python-vpython 3.2.9-4 boost 1.35.0-1 mkpxelinux 2008.03-1 mksyslinux 2008.03-1 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: Core Packages Updates 20080917 Packages in question (with latest stable version): Tom - tom(a)archlinux.org e2fsprogs 1.41.1 dhcpcd 4.0.1 nfs-utils 1.1.3 bridge-utils 1.4 new url www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Bridge libevent 1.4.7 nfsidmap 0.21 libldap 2.4.11 Thomas - thomas(a)archlinux.org lvm 2.02.39 device-mapper 1.02.27 fuse 2.7.4 iptables 1.4.1.1 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: Core Packages with No Maintainer 20080917 Sorry to bother you with this but I noticed that the Core package: linux-atm is listed without a maintainer.

[arch-dev-public] Add texinfo in base group?
by Eric Belanger 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hi, I just want to point out FS#11501. Basically, as we are now adding info pages to packages, we are using a .install file which runs install-info. This tool is part of texinfo. Therefore we should either add a dependency on texinfo to all these packages or alternatively add texinfo to the base group. Personnally, I prefer adding texinfo to the base group. It is simpler and would make more sense as the tools for the man pages are already in base. Let me know what you think. texinfo is currently out-of-date so I could do that change at the same time. BTW, texinfo provides its own info pages. Currently these files are included in the package but there's no .install script. If I add a script, then technically, it'll need to depend on itself. I'm thinking that it might cause problems for users who are installing it for the first time or with the installer. I could bypass this issue by not running install-info on post-install but only on post-upgrade and removal. Any better idea/comments? Thanks Eric -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

All, I thought I had moved boost 1.36.0 to testing already, sorry. I'll be sending uploading it after I work out some SVN conflicts. k
