[arch-dev-public] wxgtk split
by Antonio Rojas 10 Jun '17

10 Jun '17

Hi, As you may have noticed, the wxgtk package is now a split package that build both gtk2 and gtk3 versions. The gtk2 package is a drop-in replacement for the old wxgtk package, so by default all packages will keep building against gtk2. If you maintain a wx-based package, you may want to try switching to build against wxgtk3, which offers some additional features (hipdi, smooth scrolling, touchscreen support). To allow coinstallability, the wx-config script has been renamed to wx- config-gtk3 in the GTK3 package, so in order to build against the gtk3 version the script name needs to be specified at build time (--with-wx- config=/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3 for autotools, - DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3 for cmake)

Hi, we have an organization on Github: https://github.com/archlinux Would it be possible to add my account (NicoHood) also to this organization? This would help other users to identify that i am also an ArchLinux TU Member. Cheers, Nico

[arch-dev-public] Perl 5.26 in [testing]
by Florian Pritz 02 Jun '17

02 Jun '17

Hi, Perl 5.26, as any other new perl version, requires all modules that are not purely perl code to be rebuilt. We did that for all packages in our repos. For a list of upstream changes please refer to `man perldelta`[1]. [1] https://metacpan.org/pod/release/XSAWYERX/perl-5.26.0/pod/perldelta.pod Please note that the current directory (".") is no longer included by default at the end of the module search path (@INC). This may have widespread implications for the building, testing and installing of modules, and for the execution of scripts. See the section "Removal of the current directory (".") from @INC" in `man perldelta` for the full details. Since our users probably installed some from AUR or with CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch, I wrote a script[2] that generates a local rebuild list. To use it you will also need this[3]. Note that: - some modules simply don't support being loaded directly (Irssi, SVN::_Core, Tk::Entry among others) so also run the test (`perl -M$module -e1`) manually before reporting. - site_perl overrides vendor_perl so if you fix an error for a module in site_perl you have to run the script again afterwards. [2] https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/plain/find-broken-perl-packages.… [3] https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/plain/module-to-dist.pl Binaries linking with libperl.so will also need to be rebuilt. You can use lddd from devtools to find those. Please report any issue you encounter. Florian

[arch-dev-public] Arch Linux Container and Boxes
by Christian Rebischke 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Hello everybody, I am pleased to announce that pierre and me founded the 'Archlinux' Organisation on hub.docker.com and pierre pushed his awesome docker container to this repository. (Big thanks to pierre!). [1][2] His docker container is a huge improvement to the other docker containers in the hub. Most of them are insecure, ship private keys within the container or ship more applications as needed. Moreover I can announce that I did the same for vagrant images and I would like to invite you for contribution. [3] There is a 'archlinux' organisation on atlas.hashicorp.com now that offers vagrant images for libvirt and virtualbox. My goal is at least support for vmare and maybe parallel or Amazon AMI, depends on if I can find somebody with these hypervisors for testing, because I can currently only test virtualbox and libvirt on my machine. [4] So my question to you is now: Can we make this project official? Or do we even want to make this official? I would like to start a discussion with this questions. In case of yes, I would like to have pierre and my project on projects.archlinux.org and would like to found the channel #archlinux-boxes on freenode. Best regards, Chris [1] https://hub.docker.com/r/archlinux/ [2] https://github.com/pierres/archlinux-docker [3] https://atlas.hashicorp.com/archlinux/boxes/archlinux [4] https://github.com/shibumi/arch-boxes

[arch-dev-public] Perl 5.26 rebuild in progress
by Evangelos Foutras 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

A quick heads-up: we are in the process of pushing rebuilds for Perl 5.26 to [staging]. Please avoid starting other rebuilds until this is completed, to avoid possible overlap with the Perl rebuild. Some build or test failures are expected due to Perl 5.26's removal of the current directory from the default include path. [1] These will be dealt with as they appear throughout rebuild process. There does not exist a ToDo for this rebuild, instead it's coordinated using https://rebuilds.foutrelis.com/ which also displays the rebuild progress and any build failures. Florian will follow up with more details before or when Perl 5.26 moves to [testing]. [1] http://search.cpan.org/~xsawyerx/perl-5.26.0/pod/perldelta.pod
