[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mdadm-3.1.2-2
by Tobias Powalowski 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.1. Significant changes are: - The default metadata has change again (sorry about that). It is now v1.2 and will hopefully stay that way. It turned out there with boot-block issues with v1.1 which make it unsuitable for a default, though in many cases it is still suitable to use. - Stopping a container is not permitted when members are still active - Add 'homehost' to the valid words for the "AUTO" config file line. When followed by "-all", this causes mdadm to auto-assemble any array belonging to this host, but not auto-assemble anything else. - Fix some bugs with "--grow --chunksize=" for changing chunksize. - VAR_RUN can be easily changed at compile time just like ALT_RUN. This gives distros more flexability in how to manage the pid and sock files that mdmon needs. - Various mdmon fixes - Alway make bitmap 4K-aligned if at all possible. - If mdadm.conf lists arrays which have inter-dependencies, the previously had to be listed in the "right" order. Now any order should work. - Fix --force assembly of v1.x arrays which are in the process of recovering. - Add section on 'scrubbing' to 'md' man page. - Various command-line-option parsing improvements. - ... and lots of other bug fixes. Please signoff both arches, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] kftpgrabber to AUR (or [community])
by Andrea Scarpino 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Hi, I want to move kftpgrabber out of [extra] repository. The reasons are simples: - old - needs kdelibs3 - you can manage your FTP with Dolphin/Konqueror/Any_KDE_File_Manager I'll move this to AUR, but let me know if some TU wants to maintain it. -- Andrea | deelab.org/bash

[arch-dev-public] Sharing my repo-tools
by Pierre Schmitz 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

I have finally put the tools I use to sync my local repo and to create those magic rebuild lists into a git repo. I polished them to increase usability and portability, but they are not really ready to be run e.g. on gerolde. See https://git.archlinux.de/repo-tools.git/tree/ or clone from http://git.archlinux.de/~pierre/repo-tools.git syncrepo is a script I just refactored today to keep my local repo in sync. You can simply change it to sync from any other server. What I am trying here is to sync all db files first to reduce the problems of repos not matching each other. I exclude some files I don't need and the links files I create myself. This script can be run via cron (add >/dev/null to suppress output) createlinks is a script which reads all the links to shared libs from the packages and put them into a database with a format similar to our repo db files. This script works incremental and can be run via cron. I just cleaned it up and added the readelf line from the sodeps pacman branch, which was a little simpler than mine. I only read the files from certain dirs like /usr/lib; so if you have a lib in /usr/share that wont be covered. If you uncomment that "(..)& wait" you can check both arches in parallel. The initial run takes quite long; but I don't know how to speed this up even more (at least when we stay in bash). getpkgbase is a simple script stolen from the db-scripts to get the package base or name from a package file. with sogrep you can check which packages link against a certain soname. This is of course really fast as it literally greps through the link database we create with the script mentioned above. Maybe these scripts are helpful for someone; suggestions or patches are welcome. Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] raggle: drop pkg to AUR?
by Daniel J Griffiths (Ghost1227) 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

I'm currently maintaining raggle, which has been abandoned upstream for some time. The recent rebuild of ruby broke it horribly and thus far I have been unable to patch it in such a way that it functions as expected. I hate to remove this package as it seems to be quite popular, but given its condition and upstream status, I think removal to AUR is best unless someone else can provide a working patch. Thoughts? --
