[arch-dev-public] mkinitcpio changes
by Thomas Bächler 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

I hacked a bit on mkinitcpio to try and fix some bugs and instabilities. This version work much better when devices are not created right away. Please read through the diffs and review this. It boots here. TODO: Some adjustments in the encrypt hook (use poll_device), maybe also in mdadm/raid, I don't really know about those. Any other hooks that might need fixing? commit 0e6bd9d12ca52650892ffa1b33ed2267c98a72d9 Author: Thomas Bächler <thomas(a)archlinux.org> Date: Sun Jun 7 00:25:20 2009 +0200 Don't only check for block devices, but also for symbolic links. If we have a symlink, we don't check further if it points to a block device, partially due to klibc's readlink being broken. commit 1a26b2e49863cb3f010bc7b798fdbe3b8511ddfa Author: Thomas Bächler <thomas(a)archlinux.org> Date: Sun Jun 7 00:01:39 2009 +0200 Fix an 'elif' that should have been an 'if' commit fe2ca57793f5f8461084d69e69939d8e0bb42b2b Author: Thomas Bächler <thomas(a)archlinux.org> Date: Sat Jun 6 23:44:09 2009 +0200 Use poll_device before resuming, continue if the device doesn't exist commit e97bdaad85ad0c272dcd111045815e5a2628b4f3 Author: Thomas Bächler <thomas(a)archlinux.org> Date: Sat Jun 6 23:34:28 2009 +0200 Remove the usb and fw runtime hooks, as a default delay is now always set commit 25a0acd3f4e7932445612e919f92c48815f9c587 Author: Thomas Bächler <thomas(a)archlinux.org> Date: Sat Jun 6 23:22:07 2009 +0200 Rework the root device detection / creation stage - Set rootdelay to 10 by default - Skip the whole detection stage if we use root on nfs - Use the new poll_device function to wait for at most $rootdelay seconds - Always pass rootdelay=0 to kinit, as we ensure the existence of the root device - Don't reboot after the fallback. This allows a user to fix a problem and continue booting - Rely on kinit to detect the root filesystem type. The rootfstype= option can still be used to override Our old method would have failed as well, as the code for filesystem detection is the same commit 2f7a21aaf71ba7b603666de181586bb7453bbf10 Author: Thomas Bächler <thomas(a)archlinux.org> Date: Sat Jun 6 22:56:12 2009 +0200 Remove the filesystems runtime hook: Detection is done by kinit, don't duplicate code here commit 61f6d3a913354572192f2b31ad380cb410988300 Author: Thomas Bächler <thomas(a)archlinux.org> Date: Sat Jun 6 22:51:59 2009 +0200 Remove the modload hook.

[arch-dev-public] ruby 1.9.1 enters [testing] - breaks gvim
by Allan McRae 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Hi all, I have built ruby-1.9.1 for [testing]. As far as I can tell, the only thing that is broken is gvim. A dev who uses that will want to look into fixing it... I hear there is a patch floating around for ruby-1.9 support but not sure if it is now included upstream. You can always use IgnorePkg until it is fixed. (Lets see if gvim users complain more than the ruby users have...) Allan

[arch-dev-public] problem with mysql rc script
by Pierre Schmitz 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Hi, maybe someone has an idea how to solve http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12798. The proposed patch was added to mysql, reverted, re-added etc.. The current version is broken again. The problem is that the mysql rc script just checks for any process called mysqld. But akonadi starts its own instance of mysql as user. So if you use that rc script to start/stop mysql it woll kill akonadi's mysql and not just its own. I have no idea why using the pid saved by mysql did not work for some people. So, any ideas are welcome. Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

Also, others might consider joining us (Ronald is from the Netherlands and Dieter is from Belgium, so it's not too far for them (any of you guys interested?), of course anyone from our dev or TU team can join us, please write to the arch-events list or reply to this email). ################## I seem to have missed/deleted this message (kuddos for doing the devland section in the newsletter). To answer your question, I just maybe have time but I won't count on it (just poke me when the final registration is and I may know more). I'll be starting my university internship on July 1st and I plan on continue working on my final thesis so I have no idea how much work that will be (apart from office hours of course). Ronald
