[arch-dev-public] arch-diff page offline
by Pierre Schmitz 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hi devs and TUs, the diff page http://www.archlinux.de/?page=ArchitectureDifferences does not work atm. Looks like one of the last updates makes it impossible to extract the db files using bsdtar within php. This might be due to an undocumented change in php or just a bug. I'll have to find out. :-) Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] boost rebuild
by Pierre Schmitz 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hi devs, I did not start it but it was put into testing so we have to deal with it. I have created a todo list: https://dev.archlinux.org/todo/12/ Note: It might be incomplete and I have not checked if a rebuild is needed or already done due to the libjpeg/readline rebuild. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] Fixing Perl 5.10.0
by Firmicus 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

I've sent the following message to Kevin a week ago, but since he has not responded, I thought it was best to raise the issue on this list. --- Perl 5.10.0 suffers from a few bugs, which have been fixed in Strawberry Perl (for Windows) and Debian. I would really like to apply the latest Debian patch for Perl 5.10.0 (description at http://patch-tracking.debian.net/package/perl/5.10.0-23 and patch at http://patch-tracking.debian.net/patch/nondebian/dl/perl/5.10.0-23). I know our our policy is to be as vanilla as possible, but take it as the exception that confirms the rule (and a consequence of the fact that perl releases occur at an extremely slow pace). My PKGBUILD and the debian patch with my modifications to get rid of Debian-specific stuff are here: http://archlinux.org/~francois/perl_pkgbuild+patch.tar.gz It compiles well here and "make test" passes all the tests. I have used it without problem for two weeks now. If you agree, I can upload the packages for both arches to testing this evening. NB: the Debian patch takes care of FS#13901 BTW, any opinion on FS#10971 and FS#13808 ? Best, F

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sudo-1.7.2-1
by Allan McRae 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

sudo 1.7.2-1 - upstream update - removed patch included upstream signoff both arches Upstream changelog: Major changes between sudo 1.7.1 and 1.7.2: * A new #includedir directive is available in sudoers. This can be used to implement an /etc/sudo.d directory. Files in an includedir are not edited by visudo unless they contain a syntax error. * The -g option did not work properly when only setting the group (and not the user). Also, in -l mode the wrong user was displayed for sudoers entries where only the group was allowed to be set. * Fixed a problem with the alias checking in visudo which could prevent visudo from exiting. * Sudo will now correctly parse the shell-style /etc/environment file format used by pam_env on Linux. * When doing password and group database lookups, sudo will only cache an entry by name or by id, depending on how the entry was looked up. Previously, sudo would cache by both name and id from a single lookup, but this breaks sites that have multiple password or group database names that map to the same uid or gid. * User and group names in sudoers may now be enclosed in double quotes to avoid having to escape special characters. * BSM audit fixes when changing to a non-root uid. * Experimental non-Unix group support. Currently only works with Quest Authorization Services and allows Active Directory groups fixes for Minix-3. * For Netscape/Mozilla-derived LDAP SDKs the certificate and key paths may be specified as a directory or a file. However, version 5.0 of the SDK only appears to support using a directory (despite documentation to the contrary). If SSL client initialization fails and the certificate or key paths look like they could be default file name, strip off the last path element and try again. * A setenv() compatibility fix for Linux systems, where a NULL value is treated the same as an empty string and the variable name is checked against the NULL pointer.

[arch-dev-public] Moving libjpeg (and boost)
by Allan McRae 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hi all, I think it is about time to move the libjpeg rebuilds. This requires moving boost too as there is an overlap. Does anybody know of any blockers here? Issues I know about: 1) konquerer - issues with jpeg scaling 2) openjdk6 - issues opening jpegs Both are not being considered blockers (with konq the web just looks funny and very few java programs use jpeg images and there is jre as a backup). If I don't get a reason not to, I will do the move in 24 hours. Allan
