by Andrea Scarpino 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi DEVs, I built the last version of taglib and taglib-extras, they are needed by amarok 2.2rc1. I can put they in [testing] instead of [extra], but I want to know if some package needs a rebuild. packages who depends on taglib are: ario bmp-musepack bmpx gimmix gstreamer0.10-good-plugins k3b kid3 krename ktorrent mp3unicode musicmanager mythmusic ncmpcpp pinot qmmp soundkonverter streamtuner taglib-extras tagpy tellico thunar-media-tags-plugin tunepimp vlc xfmedia xmms-imms -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] Please test new db-scripts
by Aaron Griffin 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

See /arch-test/ This should have a better cleanup script, no more dependence on makepkg.conf, improved integrity check, scripts for community-testing and a bunch more things. Eric, I'm adjusting the sourceball cron job now, because you like that :) Aaron Griffin (20): Add db-community Replace DB_COMPRESSION with DBEXT in the config Uncomment BUILDSCRIPT in the config file Remove dependence on makepkg.conf Fix an error in db-move due to DBEXT commit Replace a string compare with a -f check Remove find-dupes script (unused) More makepkg.conf removal - prefer toplevel config More removal of DB_COMPRESSION from cron jobs Use db-functions file everywhere Replace pkgname with pkgbase, for split packages Add SRCEXT to config Quiet sourceball output when license is skipped sourceballs: explicitly add the 'any' arch Added sourceballs.force entries Minor: remove unused variable Remove '$arch' from file loop Collapse duplicate loops for staging removal ftpdir-cleanup: get rid of local getpkgname ftpdir-cleanup: Additional getpkgname cleanup Dan McGee (5): Add DB_COMPRESSION var to all scripts that need it Be more careful with config file inclusion Add new get_repos_for_host() function Ensure you don't update DBs on the wrong server Maybe I should make the script really adjust permissions Daniel J Griffiths (3): Add db-community-testing Add "testing to repo" scripts for community Add "testing to repo" for any pkgs in community Eric Bélanger (2): Variable rename fix: SVN_PATH -> SVNREPO Fix arch parameter handling in db-remove Francois Charette (2): added testing2...-any scripts Remove pkg from $stagedir if already in FTP repo Henning Garus (2): check_packages.py: Allow multiple abs-trees Add db comparison to integrity check Thomas Bächler (3): Avoid confusing messages and potential problems when no packages are present Make ftpdir-cleanup NOT delete all packages if databas extraction fails Add DB_COMPRESSION='gz', as this has been removed from makepkg.conf Xavier Chantry (7): check_packages : add support for split packages. add deplist to hierarchy problems add the repo/ info to most results, and sort them improve compute_dep algorithm parse_pkgbuilds : simple performance tweak improve the way parse_pkgbuilds.sh is called parse_pkgbuilds.sh : fix pkgbase handling

[arch-dev-public] Replacing dcron
by Aaron Griffin 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

We've had a few bugs regarding the issue of our crappy default cron. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16085 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12910 The consensus among the people who have commented is that fcron is the best bet here. So let's do this. Would someone like to volunteer to boot our our old crusty dcron in favor of fcron? On a related note: dcron does not support /etc/cron.d/ and it irritates me to no end. fcron can do this, correct? If not, we should remove the cron.d dir from the package

[arch-dev-public] db 4.8 rebuild
by Paul Mattal 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

I've been holding back on the libldap and postgresql rebuilds of postfix, because there's also a list up for db-4.8. Since I have to rebuild, I'd like to get all 3 at the same time so that testing will be consistent. However, I haven't seen any db-4.8 packages in testing. What's the status of those? - P

[arch-dev-public] Who broke devtools? - extrapkg svn commit == fail
by Thomas Bächler 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

So, please have a look at the second block: if [ "$1" != "" ]; then svn commit -m "upgpkg: $pkgbase $pkgver-$pkgrel $1" > /dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Cancelled" exit 1 fi echo "===> Commited with \"upgpkg: $pkgbase $pkgver-$pkgrel $1\" message" else svn commit >/dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Cancelled" exit 1 fi echo "===> Commited with \"upgpkg: $pkgbase $pkgver-$pkgrel\" message" fi 1) Redirecting the commit command to /dev/null if an editor is going to be called is fail. extrapkg was hanging indefinitely and I was really wondering why. 2) The above is easy to fix, however, the "Commited with ..." message is incorrect. Furthermore, we should still include "upgpkg: ..." in the default commit message, that is missing in the second code path.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3 3.6.18-1
by Andreas Radke 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

New upstream release. I haven't added any of the new features. Will do this by requests if needed later. Please signoff. -Andy SQLite version 3.6.18 is now available for download from the SQLite website. http://www.sqlite.org/ The SQLite source code is tracked and managed using the Fossil distributed configuration management system. See http://www.fossil-scm.org/ for further information on Fossil. SQLite was previously versioned using CVS. The entire CVS history has been imported into Fossil. The older CVS repository remains on the website but is not read-only. There are two major enhancements in SQLite version 3.6.18. The first is a series or refinements to the query planner that help SQLite to choose better plans for joins where in the past it was selecting suboptimal query plans. The SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT2 compile-time option has been added to cause SQLite to collect histogram data on indices when the ANALYZE command is run. The use of histograms improve the query planning performance even more. The second major enhancement is that SQLite now support recursive triggers. The older non-recursive behavior of triggers is still the default behavior. Recursive triggers are activated using the recursive_triggers pragma. In addition to allowing triggers to call themselves (either directly or indirectly) the new capability also fires DELETE triggers on rows that are removed from a table as a result of REPLACE conflict resolution processing. Non-recursive triggers are still the default behavior since this is least likely to cause problems for existing applications. However, we anticipate that triggers will become recursive by default beginning with release 3.7.0. At that point, applications that want to continue using the older non-recursive trigger behavior will need to use the recursive_triggers pragma to disable recursive triggers. This version of SQLite also contains bug fixes, though none of the bugs are serious and all are obscure, so upgrading is optional. The SQLite core continues to have 100% branch test coverage and so despite the many changes in this release, the developers believe that this version of SQLite is stable and ready for production use. Please let me know if you encounter any problems. D. Richard Hipp drh(a)hwaci.com

[arch-dev-public] [draft] PHP 5.3 enters [extra]
by Pierre Schmitz 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Here is a draft for an announcement about the new php packages we currently have in testing. They will be moved together with the libldap and postgres rebuilds. --- The new major PHP 5.3 release is finally available in the [extra] repository. This update will require manual adjustments: * update your php.ini; see php.ini.pacsave as reference * module path is now /usr/lib/php/modules * session, mbstring and zlib are now built in * the fileinfo module is now built in and no longer a separate package * mysqlnd is anabled; so libmysqlclient is no longer needed * Setting default-character-set in my.cnf may cause encoding problems * Set date.timezone in php.ini * third party extensions need to be updated * There are also new versions of the suhosin and apc extension make sure to review their configuration as well PHP was split into the following packages: * php * php-apache * php-cgi * php-curl * php-enchant * php-gd * php-gmp * php-intl * php-ldap * php-mcrypt * php-odbc * php-pear * php-pgsql * php-pspell * php-snmp * php-sqlite * php-tidy * php-xsl If you are using php on a webserver you either need the cgi or apache sapi. The sqlite package includes the sqlite3 drivers; the legacy sqlite2 drive is included in the php package itself. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
