[arch-dev-public] Finalizing the package signing process
by Pierre Schmitz 12 Nov '11

12 Nov '11

Hi all, it's about time to finalize our signing policy to get all our packages properly signed as soon as possible. Note that this is just about signing the package itself. How we will manage our keyring and sign that one using master keys is a different story. At first please have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Signing_Packages and let me know if there is anything wrong or unclear. I would like to present this little Howto to the TU so that community packages can be signed as well. To speed things up I'd like to let dbscripts enforce signed packages. This means that from now on no new packages can be uploaded that don't have a signature. We may give the TU a ew days mroe time as this will be new to them. If you just agree with all this send a +1. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://pierre-schmitz.com

Upstream updates. Please excuse the late regdb update, it seems I never adopted the package and never got the out-of-date notification.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] tzdata 2011n-1
by Andreas Radke 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Upstream update. Now passes the check function. Please give signoffs. -Andy Changes: The file ftp://munnari.oz.au/pub/tzdata2011n.tar.gz ...is now available; this reflects changes circulated last week, and weekend, on the time zone mailing list, and summarised here. There are three changes of note - most urgently, Cuba (America/Havana) has extended summer time by two weeks, now to end on Nov 13, rather than the (already past) Oct 30. Second, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (Europe/Tiraspol) decided not to split from the rest of Moldova after all, and consequently that zone has been removed (again) and reinstated in the "backward" file as a link to Europe/Chisinau. And third, the end date for Fiji's summer time this summer was moved forward from the earlier planned Feb 26, to Jan 22. Apart from that, Moldova (MD) returns to a single entry in zone.tab (and the incorrect syntax that was in the 2011m version of that file is so fixed - it woudl have been fixed in a different way had this change not happened - that's the "missing" sccs version id). Once again, no signatures, but hash digests using several different algorithms are appended to this message so you can verify the file that you fetch. These were generated using the pkgtools/digest program from NetBSD's pkgsrc. kre MD5 (tzdata2011n.tar.gz) = 20dbfb28efa008ddbf6dd34601ea40fa

[arch-dev-public] SLiM up for adoption
by Gaetan Bisson 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Hi devs, Hi TUs, I am orphaning SLiM (login manager): upstream is dead, patches keep piling up, and I actually stopped using that package a while ago. As far as I know, our current package has only one unfixed bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26579 Anyhow, I will move that package to the AUR in a week or so unless a dev or a TU wishes to adopt it. Cheers. -- Gaetan

Upstream update. This also adds the new (optional) options field to cryptsetup. If you use a SSD, you can change cryptdevice=/dev/foo:bar to cryptdevice=/dev/foo:bar:allow-discards to enable discard functionality on the crypto mapping.

by Dave Reisner 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Hi all, A rebuild of curl 7.22.0 is in [testing]. Its nothing special, just reverting my cert changes from -2. I don't really have the time to invest in figuring out our ca-certificates package at the moment. Shouldn't be any surprises here -- please sign off for both arches. Regards, Dave
