[arch-dev-public] Away for 3/1-10/1
by James Rayner 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Hello all, I'm away from the 3/1 to 10/1, though will be briefly back in town for the 7th and 8th due to work. There shouldn't be problems, my very few packages are up to date and netcfg is quiet. I've released rc2 but it's only bug fixes and I'm around the next couple of days in case I need to fix anything. Happy new year, hope you're all having a great time, Best wishes, James

[arch-dev-public] [makepkg] permission issue when stripping
by Andreas Radke 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

I get this weird permission issue in go-oo build makepkg: Packaging succeeded /tmp/go-openoffice/trunk/src/ooo-build-3.2.0.1/build/ooo320-m8/dictionaries/unxlngx6.pro/bin /tmp/go-openoffice/trunk/src/ooo-build-3.2.0.1 /tmp/go-openoffice/trunk/src/ooo-build-3.2.0.1 /tmp/go-openoffice/trunk/src/ooo-build-3.2.0.1/build/ooo320-m8/solver/320/unxlngx6.pro/bin /tmp/go-openoffice/trunk/src/ooo-build-3.2.0.1 /tmp/go-openoffice/trunk/src/ooo-build-3.2.0.1 ==> Tidying install... -> Purging other files... -> Compressing man and info pages... -> Stripping debugging symbols from binaries and libraries... /usr/bin/strip: unable to copy file 'usr/lib/go-openoffice/ure/lib/libuno_sal_textenc.so.3'; reason: Permission denied real 89m57.478s user 215m13.768s sys 22m56.040s It's reproducible. File permissions are the same like in the last go-oo release that built fine.

There are some workarounds posted on ML and on the forum. Next mkinitcpio update will fix this regression in the future. Arch Linux changes: - splitted kernel-headers to extra package If you want to build external modules please install: pacman -S kernel26-headers Please change your PKGBUILDS to makedepend on this package. - added xen support to 64bit kernel - changed to new firewire subsystem: http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] Handling splitpkg overrides in scripts
by Allan McRae 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

This is the start of what will be a makepkg test suite. It shows a (somewhat robust?) method of parsing splitpkg overrides so will be of use when updating db-scripts to handle splitpkg's with different arch/pkgrel/pkgver's (which can be overrided in pacman-git now). It extracts the "package_foo()" function with a sed statements that assumes that it starts at the start of the line and the closing "}" is the only thing on its line (could be made more robust...). Then is extracts the various variables using a grep. It can handle the following syntax: foo=1 foo=STRING foo="ABC DEF" for=('a' 'b' \ 'c' ) which is basically everything... Any comments on how to improve this are welcome. Allan #!/bin/bash splitpkg_overrides=('pkgver' 'pkgrel' 'pkgdesc' 'arch' 'license' 'groups' \ 'depends' 'optdepends' 'provides' 'conflicts' 'replaces' \ 'backup' 'options' 'install' 'changelog') readonly -a splitpkg_overrides backup_package_variables() { for var in ${splitpkg_overrides[@]}; do indirect="${var}_backup" eval "${indirect}=(\"\${$var[@]}\")" done } restore_package_variables() { for var in ${splitpkg_overrides[@]}; do indirect="${var}_backup" if [[ -n ${!indirect} ]]; then eval "${var}=(\"\${$indirect[@]}\")" else unset ${var} fi done } parse_splitpkg_overrides() { if grep -q "package_$1()" PKGBUILD; then pkgfunc=$(sed -n "/^package_$1/,/^}/p" PKGBUILD) for var in ${splitpkg_overrides[@]}; do eval $(echo $pkgfunc | grep -Eo "$var=(\"[^)]*\"|$[^)]*$|[^ ]*)") done fi } ## # Checks if all packages are created - does not work yet... :P ## pkg_exists() { # get package arch if [[ $arch != "any" ]]; then arch=$CARCH fi for pkg in ${pkgname[@]}; do # check for package specific overrides backup_package_variables parse_splitpkg_overrides $pkg echo $pkg-$pkgver-$pkgrel-$arch$PKGEXT restore_package_variables done } source /etc/makepkg.conf source PKGBUILD pkg_exists

by Andreas Radke 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

new minor upstream release. remove texinfo dep that we now check at install time. please signoff. -Andy http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2009q4/000295.html The GNU project is pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt version 1.4.5. Libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic building blocks. It is originally based on code used by GnuPG. It does not provide any implementation of OpenPGP or other protocols. Thorough understanding of applied cryptography is required to use Libgcrypt. Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.5: * Fixed minor memory leak in DSA key generation. * No more switching to FIPS mode if /proc/version is not readable. * Fixed a sigill during Padlock detection on old CPUs. * Fixed a hang on some W2000 machines. * Boosted SHA-512 performance by 30% on ia32 boxes and gcc 4.3; SHA-256 went up by 25%.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] nano 2.2.1-1
by Andreas Radke 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

minor upstream bump. please signoff. note: since 2.2.0 nano failed to open PKGBUILDs for me. after removing old /etc/nanorc and replacing it with the new one it works again. -Andy 2009.12.12 - GNU nano 2.2.1 "DLR strikes back" is open for business. This release fixes many bugs, including: missing keybindings for page up/down and GotoDir in the browser, ^P/^N in the help menu, and restoration of M-W as the default re-search binding. Other fixes include several issues with compiler warnings and configure options, and documentation updates, including the nano texinfo manual, nano and nanorc man pages, and UPGRADE file, and some missing syntax highliting entries for the saple nanorc. And no release would be complete without the latest round of 'final' soft wrapping fixes! Finally, nano will no longer print a warning when attempting to insert the contents of a read-only file into an existing buffer. Enjoy and Happy Hanukkah.
