[arch-dev-public] [signoff] make-3.82-4
by Allan McRae 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Adds a patch that should fix the issues with make ignoring MAKEFLAGS. The patch has not been approved upstream, but give Dan filed the original bug report about this almost a year to the day ago, I do not think we should wait... Also the patch creator is known and the test suite still passes. Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libnl 1.1-3
by Pierre Schmitz 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Hi, this is another simple rebuild of an old package. Note that I reverted the changes in trunk which already had version 2.0 which we will most likely skip due to problems. Please signoff, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [WARNING] ntrack 1:14-1 causes 100% CPU in KDE
by Andrea Scarpino 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi, the recent update of ntrack in [testing] causes kded to use 100% of CPU. Florian patched ntrack with the upstream proposed patch, but this doesn't seem to be enough to fix the issue. The package has been removed from [testing], please downgrade manually. Our bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23612 Upstream report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntrack/+bug/750554 Thanks -- Andrea

[arch-dev-public] ypbind-mt with NetworkManager support in [testing]
by Tom Gundersen 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi guys, I just updated ypbind-mt to add NetworkManager support and put it in [testing], just in case it causes problems. I'll leave it in there for a while and move it to [extra] if there are no complaints. The change adds a dependency on dbus-glib, and a makedepends on NetworkManager. With NetworkManager support ypbind can now deal gracefully with the network connection coming and going, whereas before it expected the network connection to be set up before ypbind was started. Give me a shout if you notice any issues. Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libtool-2.4-5
by Allan McRae 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

This splits the libtool package into libltdl and libtool. Most packages that depended on libtool probably only need to depend on libltdl. This will allow people to not install libtool and thus gcc on their systems (FS#25516). Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] glibc-2.14-6
by Allan McRae 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

Time for a nice bug fix release... Changes: - new upstream snapshot from 2.14 branch - actually fix DNS assertion issues instead of just reverting stuff - fix an old dlcose issue (e.g. FS#25459) The last patch has an interesting history including being committed and then removed to glibc trunk without explanation... but essentially all distros use it so I am happy including it. Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] util-linux-2.20-2
by Tom Gundersen 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Hi guys, There were a few minor bugs in util-linux release, and since kernel.org has been down it has taken longer than normal to get the fixes out. We now have a new package though, and it should fix all the known problems. The commits I added after the release are: write: fix path for freopen() agetty: double equals sign typo in opentty() dmesg: remove extra space only after time stamp dmesg: fix for non-CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME kernels (Thomas suggested I add a fifth patch, but it is not yet on master, and it was just about removing a superfluous translation, so I'll leave it out). Please test and signoff. Cheers, Tom
