[arch-dev-public] [signoff] openssh-5.8p2-3
by Gaetan Bisson 09 May '11

09 May '11

Dear all, Upstream (portable) OpenSSH has just "revised" the 5.8p2 tarball, which means its digest has changed... From the announcement: The OpenSSH 5.8p2 release shipped with the wrong version identified embedded in version.h (it still identified itself as "5.8p1"). I have cut and uploaded a new release with this mistake corrected. So a new package is in [testing]. Please test and signoff. -- Gaetan

[arch-dev-public] [core] packages and CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
by Allan McRae 09 May '11

09 May '11

I thought that if we are going to add some new CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, it would be good to check our packages were using. Here is a report of the packages in [core] and whether they build using our CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. Does not build: grub mdadm ndiswrapper usbutils vi Does not use CFLAGS or LDFLAGS: bin86 isdn4k-utils libcap lilo mkinitcpio-nfs-utils ndiswrapper-utils net-tools openssl (fixed in [testing]) procps tcp_wrappers Does not use CFLAGS: iproute2 iputils wireless_tools Does not use LDFLAGS: bzip2 gdbm hdparm logrotate lvm2 perl pptpclient procinfo-ng rp-pppoe syslinux wpa_actiond May not use CFLAGS or LDFLAGS (unclear from build output - many will be false positives): b43-fwcutter coreutils crda dbus-core diffutils e2fsprogs gen-init-cpio glib2 grep gzip ifenslave inetutils iw kernel26 kernel26-lts libnl libpipeline libusb man-db mkinitcpio-busybox ndiswrapper-lts pcmciautils rfkill tar tiacx tiacx-lts udev util-linux wpa_supplicant xfsprogs Allan

[arch-dev-public] Minimal kernel version
by Tom Gundersen 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi guys, As far as I understand the minimal kernel version we support is 2.6.27. This is at least due to glibc and udev. I thought it would be worth noting that as of its next release udev will require kernel version 2.6.32: <http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=67a77c8bf299f626…>. Maybe this could be an opportunity to raise the requirement across the board, and also to make a news item about this? Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] syslog-ng-3.2.4-1
by Eric Bélanger 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi, syslog-ng-3.2.4-1 is in testing. Changes: - Upstream update - Added reload option to daemon script (implement FS#23838). This is for "Reloading Syslog-NG configuration and re-opening log files" without having to stop the daemon. - Added checkconfig function to daemon script to check syntax of config file. This uses 'syslog-ng -s'. If the config file has a syntax error, the daemon script aborts and syslog-ng is not started or reloaded. Please test and signoff. Eric

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] dnsutils-9.8.0.P1-1
by Gaetan Bisson 07 May '11

07 May '11

Dear all, Upstream released a small security fix to BIND related to the new Response Policy Zones (RPZ) feature. See: http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.8.0-P1/RELEASE-NOTES-BIND-9.8.0-P1.html Although this does no affect dnsutils, I updated it to that new version (and also put the new bind in [testing] for a few days). Please test and signoff. -- Gaetan
