[arch-dev-public] News articles are now markdown formatted
by Dan McGee 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hey guys, I rolled out some more changes to the main site tonight, and one of them is pushing all news content through markdown. For the most part, our old news articles can cope with this just fine. I went back and touched up some of the more recent articles to make sure they looked and read fine, but you may notice stuff from pre-2010 looking a little funky. Feel free to hit "edit" and make the necessary changes to fix them up as it takes all of about 15 seconds if you see something not looking great. Let me know if you have any questions or see any problems. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] util-linux-ng-2.18-1
by Tobias Powalowski 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hi guys, Changelog attached, Thomas wanted to add a patch before moving to core. Util-linux-ng 2.18 Release Notes ================================ The util-linux-ng package does not contain rdev(8), ramsize(8), vidmode(8) and rootflags(8) anymore. The fdisk(8) command does not use DOS-compatible mode and cylinders as display units by default. The old deprecated DOS behavior could be enabled by 'c' and 'u' fdisk commands or from command line by '-c=dos -u=cylinders' options. Release highlights ------------------ libmount: - this NEW LIBRARY is designed to be used in low-level utils like mount(8) and /sbin/mount.<type> helpers as well as in some other projects. - the library API is still officially unstable. The library provides fstab, mtab and mountinfo parser, routines for work with parsed data and mount options, mtab locking, etc. The high-level API for mount(2) is planned for the next major release. For more details see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/3239 - the utils like mount(8) or umount(8) are not linked with the library yet. This change is planned for util-linux-ng-2.19. findmnt(8): - this NEW COMMAND is a command line interface to the libmount library for work with mountinfo, fstab and mtab files fsfreeze(8): - this NEW COMMAND is very simple wrapper around FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctls swaplabel(8): - this NEW COMMAND allows to change swaparea UUID and label blkid(8): - supports new command line option "-i" to print I/O Limits - supports new command line option "-n" to restrict probing functions to defined list of superblock types (names). - returns details from partition table (type, flags, uuid, ...) chrt(1): - supports new command line option "-R/--reset-on-fork" to enable SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag fdisk(8): - supports new command line option "-c" to switch off DOS mode - uses 1MiB offset for the first partition (all these changes are already in the release 2.17.2) hwclock(8): - supports new command line option "--predict" to predict what the RTC will read at time given by the --date option based on the adjtime file. ldattach(8): - supports new command line option "-i/--iflag" to sets the specified bits in the c_iflag word of the serial line. fallocate(1), losetup(8) and mount(8): - the options --offset, --length or --sizelimit support suffixes (MiB, GiB, ...) and hex numbers umount(8): - supports new command line option "--fake" to avoid umount(2) syscall greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
