[arch-dev-public] new test isos for upcoming release, testing needed
by Dieter Plaetinck 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi guys, here are the latest testbuilds, please give them a spin. I want to do a new official release asap! http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/2011.08.15/ If you find bugs -> https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=6 To let me know how your installation went -> http://www.archlinux.org/releng/feedback/submit/ This is sort of a signoff system but you can specify exactly which options you tested. I want to see as many mentions of 2011.08.15 in the "last success" column of http://www.archlinux.org/releng/feedback/ as possible. So have a look there first, you'll see that it needs more testing on x86_64 systems, a physical install, PXE boot, etc. thank you, Dieter PS: a draft of the news message, so you know what's included. 2011.08 snapshots. Hi, time for a much needed update to the Arch installation media, as the last release (<a href="http://www.archlinux.org/news/201005-snapshots-less-is-more/">2010.05</a>) is not only quite outdated, but yields broken installations if you do a netinstall (because the old installer is not aware of the <a href="http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-to-kernel-package-and-filenames/">changed kernel/initramfs filename</a> in our new Linux 3.0 packages). What has changed in this period of more then a year? <a href="http://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.git/">Archiso</a> (image builds): * TODO fill in snapshot of current core, including kernel 3., pacman-3 and * glibc,, mkinitcpio/initscripts/netcfg * Big overhaul: use dm-snapshot instead of aufs2 * Consolidate image building, use single build.sh script which also does dual-arch images. * All needed files to boot for custom USB mediums installed on /arch * Allow changing NBD export name * Allow using serial console with console kernel parameter. * Allow starting custom script with script kernel parameter, autologin tty1. * Add support to mount iso in loopback mode * Add new menu entry "Power off" * Added packages: btrfs-progs-unstable crda curl dhclient dialog dnsmasq hdparm netcfg nilfs-utils openconnect rp-pppoe rsync vpnc wpa_actiond * Removed packages: aufs2 aufs2-util joe ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-utils tiacx tiacx-firmware * Remove x86test, add HDT to initial syslinux menu * Add support for booting from memdisk * XZ compression for SquashFS and initramfs. * Various cleanups, improvements and bugfixes. <a href="http://projects.archlinux.org/aif.git/"AIF</a> (installation tool): * experimental support for btrfs and nilfs2. * support syslinux next to grub. * changes to configuration formats to support new rc.conf and linux3.0 * make selecting source more flexible (multiple local and/or remote repos) * show package descriptions when installing packages * run with debugging and logging enabled by default, add /arch/report-issues script * make automatic profiles switch source depending on whether core or netinstall system is running * remove support for tcp_wrappers in accordance to Arch Linux policy * change develop model: primary development goes on in (rewritable) develop branch, master == stable. * various code cleanups, improvements and bugfixes. <a href="https://github.com/Dieterbe/libui-sh">libui.sh</a> (bash UI framework) * made long checklists much easier in CLI mode, by using $EDITOR * fix an endless loop in CLI mode. * more flexible initialisation <a href"=http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide"Official installation guide</a>: * brought up to date. For those interested in the build environment (which is now set up on a <a href="releng.archlinux.org">new server</a>), can check <a href="http://projects.archlinux.org/users/dieter/releng.git/">releng.git</a> Please assure tickets exist in the <a href="https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=6">bugtracker - Release Engineering project</a> for any issues you may find. * <a href="http://www.archlinux.org/download/">Download</a> * <a href="http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:2011.08">List of * packages</a>

[arch-dev-public] [away] 10-14 August
by Ronald van Haren 15 Aug '11

Hi all, I'll be in Sweden for a short family visit between tonight and Sunday evening. I don't bring my laptop so I won't be able to do any packaging stuff. Grub is moved to [core], meaning that there are no critical bugs in my packages left that can't wait until I return. Cheers, Ronald
