[arch-dev-public] [sigoff] coreutils-7.3
by Allan McRae 07 May '09

07 May '09

Upstream changelog: * Noteworthy changes in release 7.3 (2009-05-01) [stable] ** Bug fixes cp now diagnoses failure to preserve selinux/xattr attributes when --preserve=context,xattr is specified in combination with -a. Also, cp no longer suppresses attribute-preservation diagnostics when preserving SELinux context was explicitly requested. ls now aligns output correctly in the presence of abbreviated month names from the locale database that have differing widths. ls -v and sort -V now order names like "#.b#" properly mv: do not print diagnostics when failing to preserve xattr's on file systems without xattr support. sort -m no longer segfaults when its output file is also an input file. E.g., with this, touch 1; sort -m -o 1 1, sort would segfault. [introduced in coreutils-7.2] ** Changes in behavior shred, sort, shuf: now use an internal pseudorandom generator by default. This is mainly noticable in shred where the 3 random passes it does by default should proceed at the speed of the disk. Previously /dev/urandom was used if available, which is relatively slow on GNU/Linux systems. ** Improved robustness cp would exit successfully after copying less than the full contents of a file larger than ~4000 bytes from a linux-/proc file system to a destination file system with a fundamental block size of 4KiB or greater. Reading into a 4KiB-or-larger buffer, cp's "read" syscall would return a value smaller than 4096, and cp would interpret that as EOF (POSIX allows this). This optimization, now removed, saved 50% of cp's read syscalls when copying small files. Affected linux kernels: at least 2.6.9 through 2.6.29. [the optimization was introduced in coreutils-6.0] ** Portability df now pre-mounts automountable directories even with automounters for which stat-like syscalls no longer provoke mounting. Now, df uses open. `id -G $USER` now works correctly even on Darwin and NetBSD. Previously it would either truncate the group list to 10, or go into an infinite loop, due to their non-standard getgrouplist implementations. [truncation introduced in coreutils-6.11] [infinite loop introduced in coreutils-7.1]

Hi, Do we have a dev who will take over maintenance of these [core] packages? They are both orphans and quite out out date. Allan

[arch-dev-public] Status of arch=any ?
by Firmicus 06 May '09

06 May '09

IIRC Abishek and Aaron have been recently working to implement "arch=any" in devtools etc. May I kindly ask about the current status of that? If there's any work you would like to me to do, I might be able to give a hand. I'm asking because I am about to do a mass update of the texlive packages, and that feature would be very convenient as all texlive packages save one are arch-independent. Some of them can also be very large (e.g. texlive-fontsextra with 136MB). So my question is: if the implementation of the arch=any feature is more or less imminent, I might wait before uploading the new texlive packages... Cheers F

[arch-dev-public] Removing termcap-compat
by Allan McRae 06 May '09

06 May '09

Hi all, A bug report from Eric reminded me about termcap-compat sitting in the repos. Everything (apart from the community package in that bug report) appears to have been rebuilt as to not depend on it now, so I will remove it from the repo. I take it that there are no objections? Allan
