[arch-dev-public] [signoff] initscripts-2011.04.1-2
by Tom Gundersen 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi guys, A new initscripts package is in testing, please test and signoff. The only change since -1 is that we now have a versioned dependency on udev>=167. I suggest putting a note on the frontpage: **************************** New initscripts removes legacy code, requires up-to-date packages As of initscripts 2011.04.1 we expect all other packages (except for the kernel) to be up-to-date. This in particular includes udev, mdadm, dmraid, lvm. Some highlights from the changelog: * We now let udev deal with mdadm, and no longer call mdadm explicitly * We now strongly discourage the use of HWCLOCK="localtime", as this may lead to several known and unfixable bugs * The adjustment of the hwclock for drift is moved into a daemon that should not be used in most scenarios as it can lead to subtle bugs (especially if using dual-boot or ntp) New features: * a new binary, /sbin/rc, that allows to start/stop and list daemons * support FakeRAID (dmraid) * support btrfs

Added the .install file to the PKGBUILD file. It wasn't picked up and so we had no info files. Closes FS#23993. Please give signoffs. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mkinitcpio 0.6.11
by Thomas Bächler 03 May '11

03 May '11

Version 0.6.10 was busted, this time everything should be fine (finally). Thomas Bächler (2): Rewrite parse_cmdline (again) Release version 0.6.11 There is a problem: The new filesystem package was moved to core and creates /run, but /run is not usable as it is not a world-writable tmpfs. We need this and the new initscripts (which should be released soon) in core quickly. Moving mkinitcpio only should suffice for now. Please sign off quickly. This is a copy of the last announcement: Fixes: - FS#23467 - FS#22080 - FS#13900 - FS#23622 It also introduces /run. Please sign off. Shortlog: Thomas Bächler (6): Fix broken command line parsing due to insufficient quoting introduced in 42e8dba5dce4879e4a372c5c2fb5446b4e8bb16c. init: Unify/improve mount --move handling Introduce /run Allow initramfs to be completely silent: Fix problems in parsing the kernel command line Release mkinitcpio 0.6.10

Upstream update. Only the data file changed. No changelog available. tzselect explicitly requires bash so we change the optional dependency from sh -> bash. Please give signoffs. -Andy
