[arch-dev-public] Boost looking for new maintainer
by Bartłomiej Piotrowski 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Hi team, As I'm absolutely the worst with C++, none of my packages depend on boost and I've spent enough nights terrified of its build system quirks, I'll be orphaning it soon. Feel free to adopt it in archweb. Bartłomiej

[arch-dev-public] RFC: Dropping -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE from packages using cmake
by Antonio Rojas 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Hi, Currently most of our packages which use the cmake build system are built with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release. This provides a reasonable (according to upstream) set of C(XX)FLAGS defaults which are appended to and override our default C(XX)FLAGS. So, for instance, our cmake packages are being built with -O3 instead of our default -O2. Besides the inconsistency that this brings to our binaries, IMO it's not a good idea to override our default C(XX)FLAGS unless there's a good reason to. This will also cause issues once we start building debug packages by default (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release also adds DNDEBUG). Therefore I'm proposing to drop -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE from all our cmake packages, building them with our default C(XX)FLAGS as all other packages. Comments?

[arch-dev-public] New build server in Singapore
by Bartłomiej Piotrowski 04 Apr '18

Hi all, for those of you that are living closer to Asia than Europe, there is new build server available, located in Singapore. It is considerably less beefy than soyuz, but should be okay for regular builds. All packagers should be able to ssh into it with username and the key used on other servers. The address is sgp.pkgbuild.com. You can compare fingerprints below: SHA256:f9VrDpIpOHvgWk+OXXRG+VMvJlbs577YFZfyxPtXKqU (ED25519) SHA256:fDdeGInsD764tfnGCbNIPH69L4k7mNs98ttFpTOv01U (RSA) SHA256:MsoXUmTXowWcPb4gma3U60Po0/5sTT5Fg+oM8bWIIUE (ECDSA) It also hosts a mirror available at https://sgp.mirror.pkgbuild.com Enjoy, Bartłomiej
