[arch-dev-public] [signoff] zlib 1.2.3.7-1 (libxml2 2.7.6-2)
by Pierre Schmitz 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hi, here is another upstream update (yes, I skipped .5 and .6). I also added a patch to libxml2 which had misused some private zlib API and triggers a crash. Please sign off. Here is a changelog for those with interest: Changes in 1.2.3.7 (24 Jan 2010) - Always gzopen() with O_LARGEFILE if available - Fix gzdirect() to work immediately after gzopen() or gzdopen() - Make gzdirect() more precise when the state changes while reading - Improve zlib.h documentation in many places - Catch memory allocation failure in gz_open() - Complete close operation if seek forward in gzclose_w() fails - Return Z_ERRNO from gzclose_r() if close() fails - Return Z_STREAM_ERROR instead of EOF for gzclose() being passed NULL - Return zero for gzwrite() errors to match zlib.h description - Return -1 on gzputs() error to match zlib.h description - Add zconf.in.h to allow recovery from configure modification [Weigelt] - Fix static library permissions in Makefile.in [Weigelt] - Avoid warnings in configure tests that hide functionality [Weigelt] - Add *BSD and DragonFly to Linux case in configure [gentoo 123571] - Change libzdll.a to libz.dll.a in win32/Makefile.gcc [gentoo 288212] - Avoid access of uninitialized data for first inflateReset2 call [Gomes] - Keep object files in subdirectories to reduce the clutter somewhat - Remove default Makefile and zlibdefs.h, add dummy Makefile - Add new external functions to Z_PREFIX, remove duplicates, z_z_ -> z_ - Remove zlibdefs.h completely -- modify zconf.h instead Changes in 1.2.3.6 (17 Jan 2010) - Avoid void * arithmetic in gzread.c and gzwrite.c - Make compilers happier with const char * for gz_error message - Avoid unused parameter warning in inflate.c - Avoid signed-unsigned comparison warning in inflate.c - Indent #pragma's for traditional C - Fix usage of strwinerror() in glib.c, change to gz_strwinerror() - Correct email address in configure for system options - Update make_vms.com and add make_vms.com to contrib/minizip [Zinser] - Update zlib.map [Brown] - Fix Makefile.in for Solaris 10 make of example64 and minizip64 [T�r�k] - Apply various fixes to CMakeLists.txt [Lowman] - Add checks on len in gzread() and gzwrite() - Add error message for no more room for gzungetc() - Remove zlib version check in gzwrite() - Defer compression of gzprintf() result until need to - Use snprintf() in gzdopen() if available - Remove USE_MMAP configuration determination (only used by minigzip) - Remove examples/pigz.c (available separately) - Update examples/gun.c to 1.6 Changes in 1.2.3.5 (8 Jan 2010) - Add space after #if in zutil.h for some compilers - Fix relatively harmless bug in deflate_fast() [Exarevsky] - Fix same problem in deflate_slow() - Add $(SHAREDLIBV) to LIBS in Makefile.in [Brown] - Add deflate_rle() for faster Z_RLE strategy run-length encoding - Add deflate_huff() for faster Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY encoding - Change name of "write" variable in inffast.c to avoid library collisions - Fix premature EOF from gzread() in gzio.c [Brown] - Use zlib header window size if windowBits is 0 in inflateInit2() - Remove compressBound() call in deflate.c to avoid linking compress.o - Replace use of errno in gz* with functions, support WinCE [Alves] - Provide alternative to perror() in minigzip.c for WinCE [Alves] - Don't use _vsnprintf on later versions of MSVC [Lowman] - Add CMake build script and input file [Lowman] - Update contrib/minizip to 1.1 [Svensson, Vollant] - Moved nintendods directory from contrib to . - Replace gzio.c with a new set of routines with the same functionality - Add gzbuffer(), gzoffset(), gzclose_r(), gzclose_w() as part of above - Update contrib/minizip to 1.1b - Change gzeof() to return 0 on error instead of -1 to agree with zlib.h -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mkinitcpio 0.5.29-1
by Thomas Bächler 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

And yet another bugfix release of the old branch: udev 150-1 removed Arch's custom resolve-modalias binary in favor of modprobe --resolve-alias. mkinitcpio was broken by that, this version fixes it.
