[arch-dev-public] python 3.2 rebuild
by Stéphane Gaudreault 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Version 3.2 of python is now available (formal announcement on the python.org frontpage should be published in the next hours). Thankfully this rebuild will be a much smaller than the recent one for 2.7.1. It is a fairly small rebuild with 9 pkgs from [extra] and 18 from [community]. I am ready to upload the new package into staging so rebuilds can start after. I tested [extra] package rebuild with the "rc" releases and Fedora ran their development tree with python 3.2rc{1,2,3} for several weeks, so I do not expect problems with the final release. If there is no objection, I will start the rebuild into staging tomorrow morning. Important changes are listed here : http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.2.html There is a new bytecode format and the layout of how Python stores cached bytecode has changed somewhat. The full details can be seen at: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/ To summarize, where before we had: foo/__init__.py foo/__init__.pyc foo/__init__.pyo foo/bar.py foo/bar.pyo foo/bar.pyo foo/foo.py foo/foo.pyc foo/foo.pyo with Python 3.2 we now have a __pycache__ directory: foo/__init__.py foo/bar.py foo/foo.py foo/__pycache__/ foo/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-32.pyc foo/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-32.pyo foo/__pycache__/foo.cpython-32.pyc foo/__pycache__/foo.cpython-32.pyo foo/__pycache__/bar.cpython-32.pyc foo/__pycache__/bar.cpython-32.pyo The 32 in the above filenames refers explicitely to the python version, not the architecture. When rebuilding, we will need to make sure that rebuilded packages contains directories like foo/__pycache__ to capture the directory and the bytecode files within. As the .pyo files are architecture independent. I think we should make sure to build them, i.e add --optimize=1 in the install line like this : python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir" --optimize=1 Stéphane

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] shadow-4.1.4.2-4
by Ionuț Bîru 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hi, implemented FS#21391. is needed because > consolekit 0.4.2 changed the default policy and expects that a third party to authorize the user. That works out of the box with graphically login managers as GDM/KDM/LXDM. Note that ck-launch-session hack is still needed in ~/.xinitrc. Tested with gnome and xfce and mounting/reboot/shutdown works. exec ck-launch-session gnome-session exec ck-launch-session xfce-session -- Ionuț

Dear all, Would anyone object to adding idnkit to [extra] so that BIND and dnsutils can be built with IDN support? Best. -- Gaetan
