[arch-dev-public] [signoff] coreutils 7.2-1
by Andreas Radke 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

new bugfix upstream release. please signoff. -Andy * Noteworthy changes in release 7.2 (2009-03-31) [stable] ** New features pwd now accepts the options --logical (-L) and --physical (-P). For compatibility with existing scripts, -P is the default behavior unless POSIXLY_CORRECT is requested. ** Bug fixes cat once again immediately outputs data it has processed. Previously it would have been buffered and only output if enough data was read, or on process exit. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0] comm's new --check-order option would fail to detect disorder on any pair of lines where one was a prefix of the other. For example, this would fail to report the disorder: printf 'Xb\nX\n'>k; comm --check-order k k [bug introduced in coreutils-7.0] cp once again diagnoses the invalid "cp -rl dir dir" right away, rather than after creating a very deep dir/dir/dir/... hierarchy. The bug strikes only with both --recursive (-r, -R) and --link (-l). [bug introduced in coreutils-7.1] ls --sort=version (-v) sorted names beginning with "." inconsistently. Now, names that start with "." are always listed before those that don't. pr: fix the bug whereby --indent=N (-o) did not indent header lines [bug introduced in coreutils-6.9.90] sort now handles specified key ends correctly. Previously -k1,1b would have caused leading space from field 2 to be included in the sort while -k2,3.0 would have not included field 3. ** Changes in behavior cp,mv,install,cat,split: now read and write a minimum of 32KiB at a time. This was seen to increase throughput. Up to 2 times when reading cached files on linux for example. cp -a now tries to preserve extended attributes (xattr), but does not diagnose xattr-preservation failure. However, cp --preserve=all still does. ls --color: hard link highlighting can be now disabled by changing the LS_COLORS environment variable. To disable it you can add something like this to your profile: eval `dircolors | sed s/hl=[^:]*:/hl=:/`

[arch-dev-public] Aspell dictionaries updates in [testing]
by Eric Bélanger 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, In the course of the license rebuild, I've updated a couple of aspell dictionnaries. I've put them in testing: aspell-es aspell-it aspell-pt As I don't know these languages, I can't really test them. So if someone (dev or user) could give them a test, that would be great. :) Eric

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3-3.6.12-1
by Andreas Radke 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

another bugfix upstream release. please signoff. -Andy SQLite version 3.6.12 is now available on the SQLite website http://www.sqlite.org/ During release testing for 3.6.12, we stumbled over a critical bug that has existed in SQLite since version 3.4.0. This bug will cause corruption of in-memory databases if an incremental vacuum is rolled back. The corruption is virtually guaranteed if you rollback an incremental vacuum in an in-memory database. Presumably not many people are doing that or we would have seen this sooner. As far as we are aware, incremental vacuum works correctly for on-disk databases. We will continue to study this issue over the next weeks and release additional patches if we find new problems. A manual code review uncovered another bug in the lookaside memory allocator which can result in a segfault when shared cache is enabled. At the very least, users of shared cache should disable lookaside memory. A better solution is to update to version 3.6.12. New features added to version 3.6.12 include the sqlite3_unlock_notify() interface and the reverse_unordered_selects PRAGMA. Additional information about both is available on the website. Because of the incremental vacuum and lookaside memory allocator issues identified above, we recommend that everyone update to SQLite version 3.6.12. D. Richard Hipp drh(a)hwaci.com
