[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] new devtools release?
by Pierre Schmitz 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hi Devs, I tried to fix the most annoying things in our devtools today and I think it's time to put it into a package for [testing]. See git for a changelog: http://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/log/ Imho it's best to have more releases with a little number of changes. I would like to do some local checks and then prepare a package for the testing repo. Any objections? Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] archrelease: svnmerge
by Pierre Schmitz 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hi all, while having a little review of our devtools I noticed the we use svnmerge in archrelease to merge changes from trunk into the repo dir. This is very expensive and sometimes fails for more or less known reasons. So, I wonder why we don't just do something like this: svn rm repos/extra-i686 svn cp trunk repos/extra-i686 I did not check if this would requrie a commit after the rm or if we could do it in one run. But it should be a lot faster and safer though. Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] WARNING: mkinitcpio 0.5.99.3 (kill-klibc) live in testing!
by Thomas Bächler 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Okay, this is it. The busybox-based mkinitcpio is entering testing now. BACK UP YOUR OLD (WORKING) INITRAMFS (kernel26.img) FILE! Also, do NOT use this if you have root on NFS, it is NOT IMPLEMENTED yet. Known issues: If you use 2.6.33 and enable the support for ext2/ext3 in the ext4 driver, root on ext2/3 won't work with the autodetect hook, I'll fix that for the next version. Number of systems that failed to boot after the upgrade: 0 (so far) Hooks adjusted: All base hooks + keymap, encrypt, lvm2, mdadm, dmraid, raid (now a symlink to mdadm), v86d. (Also, I hear that the uresume hook works without modification). I am still looking for someone to implement NFS root with this, please contact me if you are interested. This will not be the final version, there is still some work to do, but for now this requires more testing.

[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
