[arch-dev-public] monotone needs boost 1.8.x
by Andrea Scarpino 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

Hi DEVs, monotone in [extra] does not work with the current boost (FS#17297). It requires explicitly boost < 1.9. It's orphan too. So, we have two possibility now: 1) add boost18 to [extra] 2) move monotone to AUR What do you think about? Regards -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[arch-dev-public] Fwd: FS#17503: [unzip] zsh completion missing for unzip patches
by Thayer Williams 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Hoping for some feedback here from more experienced devs on this one: At some point we began patching unzip with additional flags, allowing it to properly extract UTF-encoded zip files made on the win32 platform. Apparently this has broken zsh autocompletion features. Similar unzip patches have been submitted upstream and all have been rejected. Upstream has considered adding proper support, but has stopped short of committing to it. The question is do we keep the patch and make this a zsh issue, or do we remove the patch, fixing zsh in the process and screwing some win32 zip files?

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] filesystem 2010.02-1
by Andreas Radke 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

I've added "include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf" into /etc/ld.so.conf + the /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory. So we are no more forced to touch ld.so.conf directly. New xulrunner pkg will make use of it to detect the openjdk6 plugin. Please migrate the change from the ld.so.conf.pacnew file you will receive. For the future we should clean up packages that touched ld.so.conf directly. On my system these paths were added: /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libfakeroot /opt/lib32/lib /opt/lib32/usr/lib Please signoff. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] makechrootpkg without aufs2
by Pierre Schmitz 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hi devs, I always had problems with aufs2 but during the recent rebuilds and KDE development it really annoyed me. It seems the aufs2 kernel module triggers all kinds of (not) so funny errors; especially on high I/O. E.g. building kdebase-workspace with makechrootpkg is a good idea to check i your filesystem or raid correctly recovers from a hard crash. Aside from FS and RAID errors I had funny segfaults of umount on reboot, massive system slowdowns etc.. In general I like the approach of makechrootpkg. Starting from a clean base chroot environment is a good idea to avoid all kinds of packaging issues. So I checked what other options there are. I thought it would be less problematic if it could be handled in userspace. There are solutions like unionfs-fuse; but unfortunately they are quite slow and cannot handle all kinds of special fiels we need (fiofos etc.) In the end I found a much simpler and cleaner way to handle this. All we want is to build our package in a clean chroot and revert all changes when building the next package. So why not just make just a copy of our base system, work on that and revert it when we are done. This can be easily done by changing this in makechrootpkg: mount -t aufs none -o "dirs=$chrootdir/$LAYER=rw:$chrootdir/root=ro" "$uniondir" to rsync -a --delete --progress -h -c -W "$chrootdir/root/" "$uniondir" On my system this sync takes less than 40 seconds in worst case (if uniondir is empty). On the other hand building the package is faster because there is no aufs overhead. And the best thing is that this cannot crash and freeze your system. :-) Pierre PS: We should probably get rid of aufs and merge this change into our devtools. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

Rebuild against the current gcc. Even notes in PKGBUILDs do not stop me forgetting... Signoff both, Allan
