[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mkinitcpio 0.7.4-1, filesystem 2011.10-1
by Dave Reisner 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi all, Apparently I decided it was a great idea to inadvertantly break the installer with mkinitcpio 0.7.3 [1]. There's a number of possible fixes, and I've attacked it from several angles, but fixing it in mkinitcpio is the fastest way to stop the bleeding. I've tagged 0.7.4 and pushed it into [testing]. Along with this, I've knocked out another small FS [2] which required coordination with a change to filesystem, so I've pushed that as well. mkinitcpio-0.7.4: -------------------------------------- - avoid using mountpoint(1) - use usb-ehci udev rule from /lib - Remove early redirection 2>/dev/null such node does not exists. - Add groups=('base') in devel PKGBUILD - bump filesystem dependency to 2011.10 Thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi for his contributions for this release. filesystem-2011.10: -------------------------------------- - avoid clearing screen in /etc/issue - move modprobe rule to /lib Credit here goes to Tom, who kindly let me package this while he's off riding around on kangaroos. Please signoff. Thanks, Dave [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26344 [2] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25788

What I meant to say is we have at times had this dependency happen, but it seems like every single upgrade as of late as absolutely required it. This was never the case a year ago. I realize I'm coming across as a old, resistant to change, pesky thorn in the side here, but we're doing things that are beginning to clash mightily with the Arch way here. >> not to mention moving what >> is very clearly a *binary* into a non-binary path, which is totally >> bogus. > > There are plenty of binaries in libexec (and there are plenty of > non-binaries in bin), I don't see the problem. So let me make sure I understand here since the upstream commit wasn't linked- upstream moved it to libexec, which we normally move into to /usr/lib, but this particular binary is moving to /lib? >> I know I've done `killall udevd && udevd --daemon` before to >> get the new version running; sounds like this is not going to work at >> all anymore. > > That does not sound like a good idea, you'll at least lose events. Am I the only one that does this? Because the handy-dandy, still on my path `udevadm` command definitely doesn't have any sort of documented 'restart' function for those of us that don't like to reboot our installs once a week. Are you sure about losing events? I thought the kernel cues them up if udevd isn't running. Maybe I need to add a `udevadm --exit` or something else to my incantation, I don't know. >> I would honestly pester upstream and have them justify the color of >> their hat this week; > > Unless you can come up with some real problems caused by this, I think > that would be a waste of time.

What exactly are you proposing? At the very least we should symlink this to the former location until there is a udevadm that actually covers all of the use cases. Real problem #1- how do I restart this? #2 without having the path memorized? Re: upower, udisks, and polkit running out of libexec: I don't think this is seen as an advantage by many around here. At least I see it as a negative; why are we making things harder on the user to have control of their system? I also think having to hardcode *any* path to a binary (user-usable or not, WE still have to use it) like this is a real issue; what happens when the Kool-Aid color of the week moves it again? We continue to play along? -Dan

[arch-dev-public] nvidai 285.05.09 and xorg-server 1.11.1
by Ionut Biru 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi, some cards(8600 is) are affected by high cpu usage and applications freezing. Aaron tracked it down to another xorg commit... more here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=166698 if xorg developers decide to revert, we might be able to push xorg 1.11 into extra soon, otherwise we have to wait for a new nvidia that fixes this problem. -- Ionuț

[arch-dev-public] [HEADSUP] deprecated functionality will be removed in the next udev release
by Tom Gundersen 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi guys, This is just to let you know that if you get deprecation warnings in any of your udev rules with the current udev release, your rules will likely break with udev-174. So, please update to the new interfaces or poke upstream where necessary. Cheers, Tom

Could you point me to some more info about this (I couldn't find any bug reports)? I'm interested in following up on it so we can one day move to ondemand by default. For what it's worth, fedora and opensuse have been using ondemand for some time. Is it known why we are seeing problems and they are not? My understanding was that ondemand is recommended by upstream (http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/power/good_practices.html) and that it should automatically fall back to performance if the HW latencies are too high. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] curl 7.22.0-2
by Dave Reisner 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hi all, I dropped a new curl in testing a few days ago with only one real change. It now builds and uses its own cacert bundle which is dropped in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt. This is similar to the ca-certificates bundle, but taken directly from Mozilla and processed with an in tree perl script. With this, the ca-certificates dep is of course removed. I don't expect any regressions, but please dig up your curl/https powered apps and make sure they still work. Please signoff both arches. Regards, Dave
