[arch-dev-public] time to drop openjdk6 ?
by Andreas Radke 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Oracle has declared JRE/JDK7 the preferred one over JRE/JDK6. So it should be now stable enough to replace Java6 for everyone also in the OpenJDK community releases. I'm asking if there's somebody still in the need to use openjdk6 for certain apps that fail to run with openjdk7? If so please report it upstream. I know there's are still some commercial java apps that will only run on the Oracle JRE6 or JRE7 but I ask only if somebody prefers openjdk6 in our repos over java7-openjdk. I'd like to drop openjdk6 when the next security update will be released if possible. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] [RFC] replace traceroute
by Stéphane Gaudreault 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

I got this feature request: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28877 As the new traceroute does not seems to depend on anything in iputils, I think that it would be better to provide it in a new, independant package. I do not see why this should be in [core], so I propose to put it into [extra] and install everything under /usr. If anyone has any concern or suggestions please let me know. Stéphane

[arch-dev-public] Signature checking enabled by default in new devtools
by Pierre Schmitz 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hi all, I just pushed devtools 20120612 into [testing]. Some notable changes: * In order to have gpg working within a chroot we need to bind some filesystems from the host system into the chroot. Let me know if this results in some problems. * Obviously you need to have signature checking configured on your host system; the /etc/pacman.d/gnupg directory will be copied into the chroots. * To not have random files removed by tmpfiles the chroots are now stored in /var/lib/archbuild by default; you may remove your /var/tmp/archbuild folders For more changes see: https://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/log/ Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com
