It's broken the way it is - either the group should be renamed, or the provides should be removed.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-173-3

Hi guys, Thomas just found a bug in the bluetooth handling. I have applied his patch and pushed to testing. (The patch seems straight forward, and the udev maintainer is out of office this week afaik, so decided not to wait for upstream.) Please test and signoff.

Hi guys, please signoff 3.0 series for both arches. Upstream changes: http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges Archlinux Changes: - Rename the package kernel26 -> linux - Added replaces everywhere - Removed old comments and vercmps from .install file - Removed old comments and replaces from PKGBUILD - added compatibility symlinks for vmlinuz26 and initramfs filenames in PKGBUILD, in order to not break bootloader entries. - removed System.map file, not needed anymore we provide /proc/kallsyms Now stuff to discuss before uploading to testing: - kernel name: vmlinuz-linux - initramfs name: initramfs-linux.img same for fallback of course. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] adding a simple hostname binary to base (Was: [signoff] coreutils-8.12-3 initscripts-2011.06.4 net-tools-1.60-18)
by Tom Gundersen 02 Aug '11

Hi guys, Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I think the context is relevant. On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 3:05 AM, Gaetan Bisson <bisson(a)archlinux.org> wrote: > This upgrade intends to fix the regression of coreutils' hostname not > being as featureful as net-tools'. > > Changes: > - coreutils: revert to not building hostname > - net-tools: revert to building hostname and dnsdomainname At the moment we do not install net-tools as part of base, but some tools rely on hostname being present. I think it's presence is actually part of FHS ("hostname: Utility to show or set the system's host name"), so a reasonable assumption I suppose. To avoid having to install net-tools (or any binaries from it). I thought this might be a good compromise: Split out "coreutils-hostname" from coreutils. This new package should conflicts=(net-tools) and be added to base. Also, net-tools should be rebuilt to add provides=(coreutils-hostname). An important point is that we then will only get a very basic hostname utility which only does the minimum required to satisfy FHS (set/get hostname). If anything more "fancy" is needed such as "hostname -f" the legacy net-tools should be installed. Thoughts, Tom

[arch-dev-public] blacklisting issue, perhaps initscripts or kernel 3.0 related
by Tobias Powalowski 01 Aug '11

Hi guys, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25308 If I blacklist a module in modprobe.d directory and add it to MODULES= array in rc.conf the module is not loaded anymore. Is there a reason that this is not working anymore? Thanks for your help greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
