[arch-dev-public] rename python3-numpy to python-numpy (FS#23139)
by Stéphane Gaudreault 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

Hi, I will upload python 3.2.1 tomorrow. There is no rebuild required for this python update, but I would like to "fix" FS#23139 (i.e rename python3-numpy to python-numpy in [staging] and create the usual todo list to update/rebuild dependencies). Any objections? Stéphane

I'm not sure who else gets the 'webmaster' emails, but this came through today.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-172
by Tom Gundersen 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi guys, A new udev version is in [testing], please test and signoff. Packaging changes: ============ Support for non-devtmpfs /dev is now moved from udev to udev-compat. This leaves only one static devices node (loop0) in the main udev package. This is needed due to broken design in the kernel, which hopefully one day should be fixed. Further deletion of arch specific rules: No more symlinks for cdroms (only a small subset of cdroms were given symlinks, this was inconsistent, so stop doing that). Framebuffer devices are no longer in the video group. Permissions and ownership of framebuffer devices are handled by X, so having udev rules which has no effect is just confusing (in case users want to change the group, the need to do it in xorg.conf). rtc and kbd devices are no longer world readable. Having kbd world readable looks like an invitation for key-loggers. rtc is no longer in the audio group. This does not make much sense, and the same change was made by other distros a long time ago. Framebuffer blacklisting: The blacklist file is moved from /etc/modprobe.d to /lib/modprobe.d, where it belongs. This means we can update the file without creating .pacsave files, and if a user wants to override the file it should be done by copying the file to /etc and editing it there (this file is no longer under the control of pacman). In other words, the modprobe .conf files work in the same way as the udev .rules files. Upstream changes: ============ Udev now enables kernel media-presence polling if available. Part of udisks optical drive tray-handling moved to cdrom_id: The tray is locked as soon as a media is detected to enable the receiving of media-eject-request events. Media-eject-request events will eject the media. Libudev enumerate is now able to enumerate a subtree of a given device. The mobile-action-modeswitch modeswitch tool was deleted. The functionality is provided by usb_modeswitch now. -- In addition two bugs were fixed upstream after being found by Arch user James Morris; and support for referencing disks by PARTUUID were added after a suggestion from Arch user Keshav P. R. (this should be useful for mkinitramfs). Well done guys! Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] missing libpthread-stubs in ArchLinux repos
by Andreas Radke 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/x/libpthread-stubs.html The libpthread-stubs package provides weak aliases for pthread functions not provided in libc or otherwise available by default. This is useful for libraries that rely on pthread stubs to use pthreads optionally. On Linux, all necessary pthread functions are available, so this package is simply a placeholder. Jan decided a long time ago to patch out pthread-stubs in libdrm. This had worked until now without errors. But now we're running into some linking errors where I guess this could be the reason: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25093 Fedora add a pkg-config file to libxcb and make packages depend on libxcb-devel if needed: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=libxcb.git;a=blob;f=libxcb.spec;h=4… Other distributions simply add libpthread-stubs that we right now have in AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20785 Any opinions about adding libpthread-stubs to extra and rebuild libdrm? This should be the easy way to avoid such linking issues. It shouldn't harm in any way. CC'ing this to Jan. Your opinion? What's your activity state in Arch these days? -Andy
