[arch-dev-public] [signoff] gzip-1.4-1
by Allan McRae 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

Upstream update. Fixes a CVE: gzip -d could segfault and/or clobber the stack, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution. This affects x86_64 but not 32-bit systems. This fixes CVE-2010-0001. For more details, see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/554418 gzip -d would fail with a CRC error for some valid inputs. So far, the only valid input known to exhibit this failure was compressed "from FAT filesystem (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT)". In addition, to trigger the failure, your memcpy implementation must copy in the "reverse" order. Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] KDE 4.4 SC available in [kde-unstable]
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

Hi everybody, we are working on the upcoming KDE SC release for some time now but we have reached a state when we would like to invite you to help us testing the new packages. There are about two weeks left until KDE SC 4.4 will finally be released; so the current snapshot is quite usable. Especially Devs and TUs should use the kde-unstable repository and check if their Qt or KDE related applications still work. If KDE 4.4 or Qt 4.6 does break your app please add Andrea and me to the assignees so we get an overview of the "damage". There is a small guide about using the kde-unstable repository at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:KDE#Users So, if you feel you need to tell others about kde-unstable please always add a link to that page. Especially the repository ordering is important. Happy testing and thanks for your feedback, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] LTS kernel future
by Andreas Radke 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Greg KH just posted on the LKML this news: Here's the state of the -stable kernel trees, as of January 18, 2010. 2.6.27-stable ... I'll probably keep maintaining it for at least 6-8 more months, but after that, I can not guarantee it's viability. Note, one other developer has volunteered to pick up the tree after I am finished with it, but I can not speak for him at this time. ... 2.6.32-stable I'd like to announce that the 2.6.32-stable tree is also going to be maintained as a "long-term" stable release, living for 2-3 years, like the 2.6.27 kernel is. This is because a number (i.e. more than 2) Linux distributions are basing their "enterprise" releases on this kernel version, and it will make their lives easier if I keep it alive. ... I suggest to move our LTS kernel to .32 series not before our kernel26 has moved to .33 series. Better a bit later than to fast. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] Merging dhclient and dhcp package
by Daniel Isenmann 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Hi, I don't know why this idea didn't came earlier to my mind, but the dhclient and dhcp package share the same source file. Now that pacman supports splitted packages this can be merged into one PKGBUILD and build both packages at once. This should be really easier than maintaining both packages from differents maintainer like at the moment. Any objections for doing this? Daniel

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] wicd-1.7.0-1
by Daniel Isenmann 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Hi, there is a new version of wicd in [testing]. In the past there were always problems in upgrading wicd, so I have decided to put it in [testing] first. Please test it and give me some signoffs. Big changelog: 1.7.0: Changes for Packagers: - Wicd now supports a -k option, which should be run by the init script when the daemon is stopped to release the DHCP lease but should not be run on a restart of the daemon. - The ability has been added to split Wicd's components into multiple directories. Use --gtk, --cli, --curses, and --daemon to setup.py configure to specify the locations of the respective components. - The preferred way to run the GTK UI is now to use wicd-gtk, not wicd-client. wicd-gtk is a new addition to 1.7 that will never run wicd-curses. wicd-client will automatically decide to run wicd-curses if there is no X session available. Major Changes: - Connection information is available by right clicking the tray icon - Can set the hostname per network for all DHCP clients - urwid 0.9.9 is now supported - Added wicd-cli, a command line interface for use in scripts - Global scripts are now passed parameters specifying the network Minor Changes: - Support for only displaying notifications using -o to wicd-client - Reconnecting now works when measuring signal strength in dBm - ESSIDs made of numbers now work properly - All valid wpa_supplicant drivers are now displayed - Wired network is now displayed while scanning wireless networks - Added wicd-gtk, a command to always and only run the GTK UI - Marked ioctl backend not supported - Use dhcpcd-bin on Debian instead of dhcpcd script Daniel

[arch-dev-public] packaging workload / help wanted
by Andreas Radke 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

It's time to call for help. I've run into a packaging workload I don't want to handle anymore. Some package groups take damn much time to follow upstream development, other just eat compile time. I don't want to give away completely these package groups for now (maybe later) but I really need help in the longer view. I'd like to work together with a few more people in maintaining package groups. I've already asked internally but got no real helpful response. That's why I want to ask you the community members to help out in some of my packaging tasks. Is anybody interested in helping out in the following package groups? 1) openjdk6 (openjdk7 expected later this year). new coming npplugin needs early testing. 2) OpenOffice and Go-OOo (aka ooo-build). Packaging requires fast hardware. 3) Xfce - I took it all over from Tobias(neri) because he's often not very active. Maybe someone can help here. Xfce 4.8 expected first half this year. 4) Nouveau stack 5) Ati stack - I'm forced to used the free ati drivers but someone else with one or even more Ati cards working together with upstream people would be nice to have aboard. Future KMS will require lots of testing. 5) LinuxPrinting (Cups, foomatic, ghostscript) - always buggy on major releases. Not much work all the other time. Please also check my other major packages. You should be an Arch user for some time and I expect you to know how to package and work together with upstream developers. Please drop me a (private) mail if you are interested. -AndyRTR

[arch-dev-public] [PATCH] Recalc columns after module loading

Re: [arch-dev-public] [signoff] xfsprogs-3.1.0
by Tobias Powalowski 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

Hi bump to latest version, xfsprogs-3.1.0 (13 January 2010) - Reduce memory usage in xfs_repair by using better data structures. - Add additional checks in xfs_repair to detect freespace btree corruption instead of only rebuilding the btrees. Useful for the no-modify mode. - Fix libhandle to use the right path to issue by-handle ioctls for symbolic links and special files. - Use lazy superblock counters by default. At least kernel 2.6.22 is needed for this feature. - Use physical device sector size if available in mkfs.xfs, so 4K sector devices are handed more gracefully. - Add a German translation, thanks to Chris Leick. - Enable the madvise and mincor commands in xfs_io. - Fix unsafe temporary file creation in xfs_fsr. - Add support for discarding unused space on SSDs or thin provisioned arrays in mkfs.xfs. - Allow linking against libblkid for topology information. - Add symbol versioning for libhandle. - Remove the included RPM and binary tarball built infrastructure. - Various build system improvements. - Small fixes to xfs_db and xfs_io. please signoff both arches, thanks greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

In testing 4.2, we've encountered some minor issues, and I have now put version 4.3 in testing. I'd like to get 2 signoffs per arch for this large update. Here's the changelog since 4.2: v4.3 11-Jan-2010 * Internal refactoring to make buffer overflow checks clearer and portability issues more explicit. * Made file argument to -L mandatory; optional args to getopt needs GNU extensions. * Makefile tweaks. Added CRONTAB_GROUP for `make install`. Renamed TIMESTAMPS -> CRONSTAMPS. Additionally, I took Eric's advice to follow the norm not to put /etc/rc.d/crond in the backups array. Enjoy! - P

by Paul Mattal 11 Jan '10

[I'm reposting this to arch-dev-public on Jim's behalf. -P] I agree our general convention is not to put /etc/rc.d scripts in our backups arrays, but it seems that doing so has no effect if you don't modify them and has a potentially-work-saving effect in case you do and forget. If others feel strongly, I'll remove it from backup, but don't see much harm in having it there. - P On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 11:36:55AM -0500, Eric Bélanger wrote: > On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 8:06 AM, Paul Mattal <paul(a)mattal.com> wrote: > > On 01/06/2010 01:09 AM, Paul Mattal wrote: > > I've just placed dcron 4.2 into [testing].

It'll be up to him how to package this, but this prompts a more general question I have. Granted that daemon scripts are not supposed to be modified by the ordinary user; the /etc/conf.d mechanism is the usual way to supply arguments to the daemon scripts. However, it's one thing to say "not usually supposed to be user-modified" and slightly different to say "overwrites user mods without notice." I find myself tweaking a few /etc/rc.d scripts now and then. I know there's an existing mechanism to protect such changes: NoUpgrade in /etc/pacman.conf. But I wondered why more PKGBUILDs didn't just add the daemons to the backup array. So the question is: should we think of it as _policy_ that rc.d scripts don't go in backup array, and should instead always be explicitly protected by the user if user wants to mod? No problem if so, it's actually helpful to know there's an explicit policy to always do it the one way or always do it the other way. As to dcron 4.2, I've already gotten some feedback. Thanks. I'll release a new version shortly, but do keep feedback coming. -- Jim Pryor profjim(a)jimpryor.net

[arch-dev-public] iodbc Vs unixodbc, are they compatible?
by Andrea Scarpino 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi DEVs, me and Pierre are building KDE 4.4 packages, but to provide the soprano virtuoso backend we need the iODBC driver that conflicts with unixODBC. The unixODBC in [extra] is required by 9 packages. We don't know if these two drivers are API compatible, so there is anyone that knows if we can replace unixodbc with iodbc? If they are, we could add provides=('odbc') or 'odbc-driver' to both PKGBUILDs. Thanks -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[arch-dev-public] Cron Plan
by Paul Mattal 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Having now learned more about cron and its many flavors than I probably ever wanted to know, I am prepared to suggest a course of action. I've picked up maintenance of dcron from tpowa, and am prepared to move forward. If we can reach agreement, I'll do the work. I understand there was a previous decision made to move to fcron. However, yacron (a slightly-less-minimal dcron fork) was known and considered at the time, so it makes sense to consider it now. In the last few days, the yacron author, Jim Pryor, has been blessed by Matt Dillon as the new dcron maintainer, thus unforking: http://apollo.backplane.com/FreeSrc/ http://www.jimpryor.net/linux/yacron.html This new yacron/dcron 4.0 option is pretty attractive. advantages: * simple, small, mature, designed with security in mind * maintained by an Arch user * familiar/standard crontab format * supports anacron-type behaviors * supports /etc/cron.d (more effectively than fcron) * can log to syslog disadvantages: * may not provide all the advanced/anacron-type behavior fcron does * not all of the newly-merged code changes are widely tested Proposal: We stay with dcron into the 4.0 series, with a longer-than-usual testing window so the transition is smooth, and see if it meets our collective needs. Jim may be willing to add functionality we find lacking. Please get your votes and comments in by the weekend, if possible. I'd like to move on this next week, if we have agreement. Thanks! - P

[arch-dev-public] rfkill package
by Thomas Bächler 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

I noticed that the rfkill package is in community now (very good). However, I have been asked if it was possible to make a few improvements: 1) Add a rfkill group (or use an existing group) and allow that group to write /dev/rfkill using udev (if we add a group, we should do that in the filesystem package, not the rfkill package). Apparently, some desktop applications would like to set the rfkill state, so this way we could allow that. 2) Add an init script that can optionally unblock wifi, bluetooth or anything else on boot. In the past, some devices were soft-blocked on boot by default (is this still an issue?), so this could be improved. Maybe we should even move this to extra or even core. Giovanni, this seems to be your package, what do you think?

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] inetutils 1.7-1
by Eric Bélanger 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Hi, inetutils-1.7-1 is in testing. Upstream ChangeLog below. Important package change is that the rexec binary in the package is now the new one from inetutils (the inetutils in core use the one from netkit). Please test and signoff. Eric ============= December 16, 2009 Version 1.7: * ping New option --timeout=N, stop sending packets after N seconds. * New logger implementation The `logger' utility has been rewritten from scratch. The new implementation offers many new facilities. In particular, it is able to send messages to system loggers on remote machines, and to supply the PID number to include in messages, instead of the PID of the `logger' process. * Restore the traditional behavior of ping without -c option. * The manual is now licensed under the GNU FDL version 1.3 or later. * rexec New program. * tftp Command line parsing now uses argp. * Man pages for all tools are generated using help2man.

[arch-dev-public] Cron
by Paul Mattal 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

We've got several bugs relating to choosing a new default cron daemon, and/or supporting other alternatives. The contenders seem to be: dcron, bcron, fcron, vixie-cron. I have collected facts about these alternatives below, in the hopes we can make a decision and move forward. Some of these are based on things others have said, so they are reliable to the extent such usually-reliable people made reliable statements; please point out any errors if you spot them! My fact-based inquiry suggests that if we have to select ONE cron, bcron is the best default cron for Arch, because: * vixie-cron is the de facto standard for cron, and thus "vanilla" * bcron is committed to full vixie-cron compatibility * bcron is designed for simplicity and security * modest standard features and high robustness meets most of the community's need If we decided to support two crons, my analysis suggests the other should be fcron. It's already maintained by Sergej in community; we could move it to extra as a second supported choice. What do others think? Tpowa, as maintainer of dcron, what do you think? It would be good for us to make a decision so we can move forward on the course of action and resolve some of these lingering bugs. Do others have specific experiences with bcron to relate? I know some folks like Dan and Thomas have chosen fcron, and maybe for good reason other than just features; if you have war stories, please share. If there's no new info by 1/10, I will start maintaining bcron in [extra] and start using it for my own systems, to assess its suitability firsthand and over an extended time period. - P *** dcron http://apollo.backplane.com/FreeSrc/ ----- advantages: * it's the least work (the incumbent) * simple, small, mature * familiar/standard crontab format disadvantages: * does not log to syslog * does not support /etc/cron.d bcron http://untroubled.org/bcron/bcron.html ----- advantages: * designed with security in mind * full vixie-cron crontab compatibility * compensates for DST * logs to syslog * supports /etc/cron.d disadvantages: fcron http://fcron.free.fr/ ----- advantages: * feature-rich, if/when you want it * almost fully supports vixie-cron syntax (except @*) * compensates for system downtime * already a package in community * Dan and Thomas use it and recommend it firsthand * logs to syslog disadvantages: * does not support /etc/cron.d * slightly larger, more code * not fully vixie-cron compatible * probably less secure, since it's much more extensive vixie-cron ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/cron/ ----- advantages: * a "reference" implementation, widely known * logs to syslog disadvantages: * not updated (2004)

[arch-dev-public] PostgreSQL rebuild/bump
by Dan McGee 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Is there anyone willing to bump PostgreSQL to 8.4.2? It is a security update that we should probably look at sooner rather than later, and right now almost all of the postgres packages in the repos are listed as orphans (did Hugo disappear? I think he did them before). See here (http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.1170) for the release notes. Of course, when I say bump, I also mean give it some sort of sanity check post-build to make sure it built and runs fine. :) -Dan

[arch-dev-public] Handling splitpkg overrides in scripts
by Allan McRae 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

This is the start of what will be a makepkg test suite. It shows a (somewhat robust?) method of parsing splitpkg overrides so will be of use when updating db-scripts to handle splitpkg's with different arch/pkgrel/pkgver's (which can be overrided in pacman-git now). It extracts the "package_foo()" function with a sed statements that assumes that it starts at the start of the line and the closing "}" is the only thing on its line (could be made more robust...). Then is extracts the various variables using a grep. It can handle the following syntax: foo=1 foo=STRING foo="ABC DEF" for=('a' 'b' \ 'c' ) which is basically everything... Any comments on how to improve this are welcome. Allan #!/bin/bash splitpkg_overrides=('pkgver' 'pkgrel' 'pkgdesc' 'arch' 'license' 'groups' \ 'depends' 'optdepends' 'provides' 'conflicts' 'replaces' \ 'backup' 'options' 'install' 'changelog') readonly -a splitpkg_overrides backup_package_variables() { for var in ${splitpkg_overrides[@]}; do indirect="${var}_backup" eval "${indirect}=(\"\${$var[@]}\")" done } restore_package_variables() { for var in ${splitpkg_overrides[@]}; do indirect="${var}_backup" if [[ -n ${!indirect} ]]; then eval "${var}=(\"\${$indirect[@]}\")" else unset ${var} fi done } parse_splitpkg_overrides() { if grep -q "package_$1()" PKGBUILD; then pkgfunc=$(sed -n "/^package_$1/,/^}/p" PKGBUILD) for var in ${splitpkg_overrides[@]}; do eval $(echo $pkgfunc | grep -Eo "$var=(\"[^)]*\"|$[^)]*$|[^ ]*)") done fi } ## # Checks if all packages are created - does not work yet... :P ## pkg_exists() { # get package arch if [[ $arch != "any" ]]; then arch=$CARCH fi for pkg in ${pkgname[@]}; do # check for package specific overrides backup_package_variables parse_splitpkg_overrides $pkg echo $pkg-$pkgver-$pkgrel-$arch$PKGEXT restore_package_variables done } source /etc/makepkg.conf source PKGBUILD pkg_exists

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libgcrypt 1.4.5-1
by Andreas Radke 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

new minor upstream release. remove texinfo dep that we now check at install time. please signoff. -Andy http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2009q4/000295.html The GNU project is pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt version 1.4.5. Libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic building blocks. It is originally based on code used by GnuPG. It does not provide any implementation of OpenPGP or other protocols. Thorough understanding of applied cryptography is required to use Libgcrypt. Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.5: * Fixed minor memory leak in DSA key generation. * No more switching to FIPS mode if /proc/version is not readable. * Fixed a sigill during Padlock detection on old CPUs. * Fixed a hang on some W2000 machines. * Boosted SHA-512 performance by 30% on ia32 boxes and gcc 4.3; SHA-256 went up by 25%.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] nano 2.2.1-1
by Andreas Radke 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

minor upstream bump. please signoff. note: since 2.2.0 nano failed to open PKGBUILDs for me. after removing old /etc/nanorc and replacing it with the new one it works again. -Andy 2009.12.12 - GNU nano 2.2.1 "DLR strikes back" is open for business. This release fixes many bugs, including: missing keybindings for page up/down and GotoDir in the browser, ^P/^N in the help menu, and restoration of M-W as the default re-search binding. Other fixes include several issues with compiler warnings and configure options, and documentation updates, including the nano texinfo manual, nano and nanorc man pages, and UPGRADE file, and some missing syntax highliting entries for the saple nanorc. And no release would be complete without the latest round of 'final' soft wrapping fixes! Finally, nano will no longer print a warning when attempting to insert the contents of a read-only file into an existing buffer. Enjoy and Happy Hanukkah.

[arch-dev-public] Xorg changes / DRM modules
by Andreas Radke 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

I've updated the git packages for nouveau and ati ddx driver packages in testing. I also updated the nouveau-drm package. This required to add the new nouveau-firmware package. It will be also needed to use kernel nouveau-drm module that will be introduced with kernel 2.6.33. I will keep updating the separate nouveua-drm module for a while to get features and fixes faster than in Linus tree. The firmware will probably also result in loading issues in early kms mode. We might think about recommending late mode for now. libdrm has been updated to 2.4.17 - this is breaking all radeon 3d stuff and will require changes in MESA when I understand the upstream devs right. Mesa7.7 is expected in a few days anyways and should make Radeon 3d stuff working again after a few late commits (7.7rc4 doesn't build with new libdrm). Other drivers should still work. Please test them. Radeon kms is still buggy like hell and unusable for my RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] card. It makes X and the whole system freeze instantly when moving windows around or when I try to start 3d apps. Sometimes even at Xorg start at all. This has been introduced with 2.6.32 kernels. Upstream recommends to try the various drm trees: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.dri.devel/40626 Any opinions from other ati users what branch is the most stable and useful these days? I'm thinking about adding a radeon-drm kernel module package to solve the tons of speed and stability issues. As already written on the closed devel list, I'd like to get help for these packages from other devs and community members. Whoever is well informed in Xorg/kernel drm development and wants to help to stabilize our drivers please contact me. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] Punishment needed for not building in a chroot
by Allan McRae 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hi, We have been through this many times... you should always build in a clean chroot. But there are continuously bugs about packages linking to non-deps. We should never have such bugs. e.g. (FS#17409) > readelf -d /usr/bin/mpd ... 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libjack.so.0] ... > pactree -u mpd | sort ... gmp imlib2 kbproto kernel-headers ... How did that get to linking to jack without jack being in its dependency tree? Poor packaging... The tools are very simple to use and are described in the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot) There is _no_ excuse not to use them. The are minor changes needed for doing i686 builds on x86_64 and vise versa, but there are plenty of us doing that so help is available. Ask for help if needed. So, we need a creative punishment for those that causes bugs by not building in a clean chroot. It is too early in the morning for me to be creative so I am struggling to come up with ideas besides beatings and removal of commit privileges. Any better ideas? Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-147-1
by Tobias Powalowski 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

Hi Major changes: - Minimal kernel version bumped to 2.6.27: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=1da6c797fdbb9437… - Older kernels than 2.6.31 might need the udev-compat package: Most NAME= instructions got removed. Kernel 2.6.31 supplies the needed names if they are not the default. To support older kernels, the NAME=rules need to be added to the compat rules file. Other changes: To support DEVPATH strings larger than the maximum file name length, the private udev database format has changed. If some software still reads the private files in /dev/.udev/, which it shouldn't, now it's time to fix it. Please do not port anything to the new format again, everything in /dev/.udev is and always was private to udev, and may and will change any time without prior notice. Multiple devices claiming the same names in /dev are limited to symlinks only now. Mixing identical symlink names and node names is not supported. This reduces the amount of data in the database significantly. NAME="%k" causes a warning now. It's is and always was completely superfluous. It will break kernel supplied DEVNAMEs and therefore it needs to be removed from all rules. Symlinks to udevadm with the old command names are no longer resolved to the udevadm commands. The udev-acl tool got adopted to changes in ConsoleKit. Version 0.4.11 is required now. The option "last_rule" does no longer exist. Its use breaks too many things which expect to be run from independent later rules, and is an idication that something needs to be fixed properly instead. The gudev API is no longer marked as experimental, G_UDEV_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE is no longer needed. The gudev introspection is enabled by default now. Various projects already depend on introspection information to bind dynamic languages to the gudev interfaces. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] Moonlight in Arch Linux
by Daniel Isenmann 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hi, I know that this topic was discussed in January this year and we decided to put it to AUR and if it have enough votes to [community]. For all new developers, here is the discussion from January: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2009-January/010029.… Now it's in community, but it's outdated and which is the real problem, you must build it with a fresh built and installed mono during compilation time. It depends very close to mono and therefor I would like to bring it to [extra], to maintain it with the rest of the mono stack which I already do. Also a bug report was posted because of this issue: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17573 The maintainer in community seems not be active anymore (Timm Preetz) and moonlight is orphan. Any objections from your side? Cheers, Daniel

[arch-dev-public] chroots config question
by Paul Mattal 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Regarding the below: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot It reads: "The -C and -M flags are optional, but it is recommended to provide these with clean pacman.conf and makepkg.conf files (directly from the pacman package) during first creation of clean chroot to ensure lack of user specific adjustments." I think this is misleading. If you *don't* provide these arguments, what you get is the default config files directly from the pacman package, right? So the desired thing in most circumstances is, presumably, NOT to override? - P

[arch-dev-public] kernel-2.6.27-lts possible changes?
by Tobias Powalowski 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hi guys, just looked at kernel26-lts PKGBUILD and config files. I have locally modified it to also split the headers out from standard package, as the stock kernel PKGBUILD does. - Adding xen pvops would make sense on a so called server kernel. http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps I can't test this myself but according to the link above i guess it's safe to enable it. It's now also enabled in .32 kernel 64 bit kernel. - Since the last pkgver it is possible now to build binary modules against the lts kernel, without the need of rebuilding them on every small bump. Imho it would make sense to provide the same binary modules for this kernel as we do for the stock kernel. Do you have any other thoughts or objections? If i get some input from you and you agree to the above, i could put this stuff tomorrow to testing repository. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] [PATCH 1/3] rc.sysinit: background hwclock calls
by Dan McGee 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

hwclock calls appear to block somewhere between 1 and 2 seconds when we have back-to-back calls. My theory (without looking at the code) is that hwclock has to synchronize to the 1 second intervals of the hardware clock, so it can sometimes take up to a second to complete. To get around this unpleasant behavior, we can background the calls at point X in the boot sequence, and then later at point Y in the script (when we absolutely need the clock actions to be complete), we wait on the subprocess. This allows the rest of the boot sequence, after the hwclock code block, to continue until the point where we wait on the subprocess.

[arch-dev-public] doc size
by Xavier 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hello, I like this gnome feature that warns me about running out of space and proposes me to run a disk usage analyzer (baobab). Looking at the results, I found out that /usr/share/doc was taking a non negligible space : 140M It's actually the 3rd biggest directory in my filesystem after two games (openarena and flightgear). Well maybe 4th if I also count warsow in /opt :) It's especially gtkmm that made me go wtf. It takes 48MB. I checked the package size, 60MB. The next entries are far away, at 10MB, but still. Compared to the package size, they can still be pretty big (more than half). That made me want to check the proportion of docs in each package, and I quickly hacked a script together. I am pretty sure this subject has come here before, but I don't remember seeing any results, so I will post them here. That might help to establish some reasonable limits for when a package should be split. And with makepkg supporting that now, it's much better than before. -------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash DOC_DIRS=(usr/{,local/}{,share/}{doc,gtk-doc} opt/*/{doc,gtk-doc}) filename=$1 pkgsize=$(bsdtar qxOf $1 .PKGINFO 2>/dev/null | grep size | awk '{ print $3 }') docsize=$(bsdtar tvf $filename ${DOC_DIRS[@]} 2>/dev/null | awk '{ SUM += $5 } END { print SUM }') [ -z "$docsize" ] && exit 0 docsizemb=$(( $docsize / 1024 / 1024 )) [ "$docsizemb" -eq 0 ] && exit 0 pkgsizemb=$(( $pkgsize / 1024 / 1024 )) echo "$(( 100 * $docsize / $pkgsize )) $docsizemb/$pkgsizemb $(basename $filename)" -------------------------------------------------------- $ (for i in /home/pkg/*; do ./doc-ratio $i; done) | sort -rn | column -t ratio docsize/pkgsize filename 75 8/11 libsigc++2.0-2.2.4.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 75 45/60 gtkmm-2.18.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 71 2/3 eggdbus-0.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 68 10/15 glibmm-2.22.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 67 1/2 libsoup-2.28.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 66 2/3 pangomm-2.26.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 63 2/3 libgdata-0.4.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 62 7/12 telepathy-glib-0.9.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 61 4/7 flac-1.2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 58 1/1 raptor-1.4.19-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 58 10/17 pygtk-2.16.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 56 1/2 cairo-1.8.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 55 10/19 groff-1.20.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 54 1/1 redland-1.0.9-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 53 3/7 clutter-1.0.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 52 1/1 policykit-0.9-9-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 51 2/3 pango-1.26.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 49 1/3 libxslt-1.1.26-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 49 1/3 fontconfig-2.8.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 47 5/11 libxml2-2.7.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 47 1/2 pcre-8.00-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 46 2/5 openexr-1.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 44 1/2 polkit-0.95-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 42 3/8 gstreamer0.10-base-0.10.25-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 40 1/3 gmime-2.4.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 38 4/12 gstreamer0.10-0.10.25-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 36 1/3 pygobject-2.20.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 35 2/5 at-spi-1.28.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 34 2/7 libgnomeui-2.24.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 34 1/3 libtiff-3.9.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 29 6/22 evolution-data-server-2.28.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 28 1/5 libbonobo-2.24.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 26 1/6 gnome-vfs-2.24.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 25 7/30 valgrind-3.5.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 22 5/24 cmake-2.8.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 20 3/15 gettext-0.17-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 16 2/15 empathy-2.28.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 15 1/7 evince-2.28.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 14 1/7 gnome-keyring-2.28.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 13 3/23 kdebase-runtime-4.3.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 8 1/13 gok-2.28.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Seems I forgot all about this package in [testing].... Here is a short draft release announcement so it can be moved. --DRAFT-- The filesstem-2009.11-1 package has removed LC_COLLATE=C from /etc/profile as this caused incorrect sorting on some locales (See FS#15250). Any scripts relying on this value should manually set the LC_COLLATE variable. --END DRAFT-- Allan

[arch-dev-public] Packaging Chromium for [extra]
by Pierre Schmitz 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi devs, I did have a closer look at chromium recently and it did improve a lot. Even though it's called "beta" it is really usable and feature complete. There is quite a high demand for it (the binary version in AUR has neraly 800 votes). I would like to make a peoper package for it and provide that in our repo. The AUR packages are either svn trunk builds or repackaged ubuntu debs with ugly symlinks to libs with other so names. My idea is to build a tar out of their svn tag and build a clean package with that. What do you think? (it's about chromium btw. and not Chrome which is Google's build with some "extras") -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] coreutils-8.2-1
by Allan McRae 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Fairly minor bug fix release over 8.1 which has been in [testing] for a long time, but a major jump over what is currently in [core]. I have been using the pre-release snapshots without any issues. Upstream ChangeLog: ** Bug fixes id's use of mgetgroups no longer writes beyond the end of a malloc'd buffer [bug introduced in coreutils-8.1] id no longer crashes on systems without supplementary group support. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.1] rm once again handles zero-length arguments properly. The rewrite to make rm use fts introduced a regression whereby a command like "rm a '' b" would fail to remove "a" and "b", due to the presence of the empty string argument. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.0] sort is now immune to the signal handling of its parent. Specifically sort now doesn't exit with an error message if it uses helper processes for compression and its parent ignores CHLD signals. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.9] tail without -f no longer access uninitialized memory [bug introduced in coreutils-7.6] timeout is now immune to the signal handling of its parent. Specifically timeout now doesn't exit with an error message if its parent ignores CHLD signals. [bug introduced in coreutils-7.6] a user running "make distcheck" in the coreutils source directory, with TMPDIR unset or set to the name of a world-writable directory, and with a malicious user on the same system was vulnerable to arbitrary code execution [bug introduced in coreutils-5.0] Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] automake-1.11.1-1
by Allan McRae 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

Minor upstream update. Converted to arch-any package. Upstream changelog: * Bugs introduced by 1.11: - The `parallel-tests' test driver works around a GNU make 3.80 bug with trailing white space in the test list (`TESTS = foo $(EMPTY)'). * Long standing bugs: - On Darwin 9, `pythondir' and `pyexecdir' pointed below `/Library/Python' even if the `--prefix' argument pointed outside of a system directory. AM_PATH_PYTHON has been fixed to ignore the value returned from python's `get_python_lib' function if it points outside the configured prefix, unless the `--prefix' argument was either `/usr' or below `/System'. - The testsuite does not try to change the mode of `ltmain.sh' files from a Libtool installation (symlinked to test directories) any more. - AM_PROG_GCJ uses AC_CHECK_TOOLS to look for `gcj' now, so that prefixed tools are preferred in a cross-compile setup. - The distribution is tarred up with mode 755 now by the `dist*' targets. This fixes a race condition where untrusted users could modify files in the $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION) distdir before packing if the toplevel build directory was world-searchable. This is CVE-2009-4029. Build x86_64, tested on i686. Signoff, Allan

Major feature update. I removed the unneeded texinfo dep now covered by the post.install check. I haven't touched the line wrapping settings. Please signoff. -Andy http://www.nano-editor.org/overview.php The 2.2 release of GNU nano continues to add some features while attempting to provide continuity to users of previous versions. When possible we have elected to make new features disabled by default, as .nanorc and aliasing allows one to easily permanently enable desired features. The following improvemens and features are available in version 2.2 include: * Customizable key bindings (see the key bindings section of the nanorc man page for more details. * 'soft' line wrapping (i.e. full line display) * Full undo/redo support [EXPERIMENTAL] * Pager support (i.e. reading from stdin) * Warnings for un-writable files, external modification since opening * Abortable searching (^C after ^W) * More syntax highlighting examples (Fortran, objC, OCaml, Makefiles) * Faster syntax higlighting for complicated regexes

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3 3.6.21-1
by Andreas Radke 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

monthly upstream bugfix release. please signoff. -Andy SQLite version 3.6.21 is now available on the SQLite website: http://www.sqlite.org/ SQLite version 3.6.21 is a monthly maintenance release of SQLite. Upgrading from prior versions is optional. Version 3.6.21 features an enhancement to the sqltie3_trace() interface such that the values of bound parameters are inserted into the SQL output emitted by sqlite3_trace(), making application diagnostics easier. Version 3.6.21 also features general performance improvements and a rework of the FTS3 full-text search extension for improved robustness and performance. SQLite version 3.6.21, as all versions of SQLite since 3.6.17, has been tested to 100% MC/DC and branch coverage using multiple independently developed test harnesses. As always, please let us know if you encounter any difficulties with this or any other SQLite release. D. Richard Hipp drh(a)hwaci.com SQLite Release 3.6.21 On 2009 Dec 07 (3.6.21) Changes associated with this release include the following: * The SQL output resulting from sqlite3_trace() is now modified to include the values of bound parameters. * Performance optimizations targetting a specific use case from a single high-profile user of SQLite. A 12% reduction in the number of CPU operations is achieved (as measured by valgrind). Actual performance improvements in practice may vary depending on workload. Changes include: o The ifnull() and coalesce() SQL functions are now implemented using in-line VDBE code rather than calling external functions, so that unused arguments need never be evaluated. o The substr() SQL function does not bother to measure the length its entire input string if it is only computing a prefix o Unnecessary OP_IsNull, OP_Affinity, and OP_MustBeInt VDBE opcodes are suppressed o Various code refactorizations for performance * The FTS3 extension has undergone a major rework and cleanup. New FTS3 documentation is now available. * The SQLITE_SECURE_DELETE compile-time option fixed to make sure that content is deleted even when the truncate optimization applies. * Improvements to "dot-command" handling in the Command Line Interface. * Other minor bug fixes and documentation enhancements. A complete list of SQLite releases in a single pages is also available. A detailed history of every check-in is available at http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline.

Your "submission" didn't go through the appropriate channels (i.e. the bugtracker) but through personal emails to Aaron and me (which I didn't have the time to read back then which is my fault). I don't see a reason to introduce such big breakage for something as placebo-ish as sh-compatibility, when we use bash for the initscripts anyway. The fact that the presets are not sh-compatible is my fault though, I didn't realize when I wrote them that the rest of mkinitcpio was sh-compatible and arrays are not - but nobody complained either.

[arch-dev-public] Status of gimp/gimp-devel
by Eric Bélanger 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi, Currently, both gimp and gimp-devel are out of date. The latest versions require updates of both babl and gegl but the gegl app in the gegl package seg fault. This is a confirmed upstream issue: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591908. I've been waiting for a fix but nothing so far. This is still not fixed upstream and I wasn't able to find any patches. Either other distros haven't updated yet to gegl 0.1.0 or they have updated but haven't fixed the issue. If someone is interested in working toward making a patch, then it'll be much appreciated. Anyway, the gimp packages have been out-of-date for several months now. On one hand, I'm not too warm about updating these packages knowing about the gegl seg fault problem (that's one reason why I've waited so long). On the other hand, having a popular package like gimp out-of-date for so long isn't a good idea either. So what should we do? 1) Continue to wait until we have a fix for the seg fault. 2) Update the packages knowing that the gegl binary will be broken until there is a patch or new gegl version that will fix it. Gegl support in gimp itself works fine as far as I could test it. Any ideas, suggestions, comments are welcome. Eric

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] initscripts 2009.11-1, device-mapper/lvm2 2.02.54-2, udev 146-3
by Thomas Bächler 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

This upload brings some changes to all device-mapper based applications and should be the start of fixing some race conditions (also needs a fix to devicekit's udev rules). Let's start with initscripts. There some outstanding issues as always, but we should rather release than wait for me to think about all of them: Aaron Griffin (7): Replace \e with \033 for printfs network: Use real interface name for ifconfig up Always shutdown daemons, regardless of runlevel network: support early 'up' for dhcp interfaces Add hvc0 to inittab (commented by default) Empty mtab instead of deleting it Replace 'truncate file' logic in case of noclobber Jim Pryor (1): Fix stty/tput usage for columns again Thomas Bächler (12): Add size and noexec mount options to /dev, change "none" to "udev" Use nosuid instead of noexec on /dev Remove uevent processing benchmark, as it is useless now that we actually do work between trigger and settle Remove support for static filesystem and make code in rc.single look like the code in rc.sysinit/rc.shutdown Implement a hook-system that allows to add custom code to the initscripts at certain places Make the hook-system a bit more usable Only load rtc-cmos if rc.conf has proper clock settings Disable special handling of ACPI modules Remove code to create md* devices manually, this is done by udev these days Set STARTUP=1 environment variable on initial udev triggering, required by latest device-mapper rules Correct last commit: Unset the STARTUP=1 variable in udevadm control only after udev has settled Remove redundant call to vgscan - this also fixes a "wrong" symlink in combination with the new udev-based device mapper node creation First I'd like to highlight the hooks-system. It can be used by splash daemons or live systems or any user to hook in special functions during the boot process. It is not really documented, there's some comments in rc.functions on using it. For this email, the lvm and udev changes are more important: During the initial udevtrigger, the STARTUP=1 environment variable will be set in all uevents. This is used by the new device-mapper/lvm2 upstream udev rules (which replace our homegrown and outdated rule) which have to distinguish between the initial triggering and later execution of uevents. The device-mapper rules also set some flags that will tell other rules to ignore a dm device (these flags have to be respected in devicekit to solve some race conditions). The only change in udev is that the I removed a hunk from the arch patch that un-ignored dm-* devices: Peristent names for those are now handles in the device-mapper rules, respecting the ignore flags and thus also avoiding weird races conditions. If you found this confusing, ask, otherwise please test and sign off. (Tested and working on x86_64 with encryption and lvm2)

Hi, There have been plenty of bugs about enabling pulseaudio support in various packages but they are routinely closed with a "deferred until it is in [extra]" message.

Upstream update From release announcement: This release is a bug fix release for version 2.2.6. The following bugs are fixed: - Fixed libltdl to no longer attempt to dlopen() the old_library listed in the .la file. Now will use only the preopen loader to attempt to load it. This may be a security issue, all users are advised to upgrade. - Similarly, don't open module.la from the current directory, this changes the behavior of libltdl to match the documentation.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] patch-2.6
by Allan McRae 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Upstream update. Signoff both. Changes in version 2.6: * A regression test suite has been added ("make check"). * A --merge option has been added which will merge a patch file into the original files similar to merge(1). See the patch(1) manual page for documentation. * Unless a filename has been specified on the command line, look only for filenames in the patch until one has been found. This prevents patch from tripping over garbage that isn't a patch. When conforming to POSIX, this behavior is turned off and patch will ask for a filename if none is found. * All reject files have file name headers, which allows them to be used as regular patches. * When a patch file modifies the same file more than once, patch makes sure it backs up the original version of the file rather than any intermediary versions. * In the above situation, if there are rejects in more than one of those patches, they all go into the same reject file. * When the file to be patched is specified on the command line, all patches are applied to that file. (Previously, the first patch was applied to the file specified on the command line, and the names of additional files to patch were taken from header lines in the patch file.) * The -r option now works correctly even if there are rejects in more than one file. Use the - argument to discard rejects. * Rejected hunks come out in unified diff format if the input patch was of that format, otherwise in ordinary context diff form. Use the --reject-format option to enforce either "context" or "unified" format. Timestamps and the "diff -p" (--show-c-function) output are preserved. Changed lines in context format reject files are correctly indicated with '!' markers as the format defines. Added and removed lines are still marked with '+' and '-', respectively. * The file permissions of reject files are no longer set to match the files they modify. Instead, they retain the default permissions. This is consistent with reject files produced with the -r option. * The --binary option disables the heuristic for stripping CRs from line endings in patches. This allows to preserve CRs even in mangled patches, or in patches generated on non-POSIX systems and without the --binary option. * Backup files for nonexisting files are now created with default permissions rather than with mode 0: backup files with mode 0 were causing problems with applications which do not expect unreadable files. * The -B, -Y, and -z options (--prefix, --basename-prefix, --suffix) now imply the simple version control mode, and can be combined. * Patch rejects more malformed normal format commands and checks for trailing garbage. It now recognizes ed commands without addresses. * Change the default value of PATCH_GET to 0. (Previously, the default was 0 under POSIXLY_CORRECT and negative otherwise; this is causing problems particularly with Perforce.) * Handle missing timestamps better. * Various bug fixes.

[arch-dev-public] heimdal-1.3.1 rebuild
by Allan McRae 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi all, I just put up an internal TODO list for the heimdal update for [core]/[extra]. There is a soname bump in libhx509. I will do some more testing and build at least neon, subversion and openssh before uploading. Someone will want to see what packages from [community] need rebuilt. Allan

[arch-dev-public] akonadi package splitted
by Andrea Scarpino 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi DEVs, I'd like to split akonadi into two packages: one for libs and one for services. I already did it in my local machine; I checked all kde-* packages, digikam, kipi-plugins, konversation, koffice-* and none needs akonadi-server, so this update will broke nothing. Obviously people who use akonadi for what it has been made needs to install akonadi-server package, so we need to add akonadi-server as optdependence to some package. If no one have objection I will update akonadi on [testing]. -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

If anybody wants to step up, get in touch with me, I can recap on the current package situation and give a lot of tips for a mostly hassle-free maintenance.

[arch-dev-public] kernel 2.6.32 experiences
by Andreas Radke 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

I've built kernel 2.6.32rc8git1. My ati/radeon drm modules now requires its own firmware that will be part of new kernel26-firmware pkg. And we need to fix mkinitcpio to include that firmware for kms early mode that now fails due to missing firmware. It did not help to add FILES="/lib/firmware/radeon/R300_cp.bin" :( - maybe we need a new hook for that. good news: 3D performance seems greatly improved. glxgears almost doubled here with my X200m card. bad news: supertuxkart crashes instantly: [andyrtr@laptop64 ~]$ LANG=C supertuxkart Data files will be fetched from: '/usr/share/supertuxkart/' Highscores will be saved in '/home/andyrtr/.supertuxkart/highscore.data'. *********************************WARN_ONCE********************************* File radeon_dma.c function radeonReleaseDmaRegions line 348 Leaking dma buffer object! *************************************************************************** supertuxkart: radeon_bo_legacy.c:207: legacy_is_pending: Zusicherung >>bo_legacy->is_pending <= bo->cref<< nicht erf?llt.

[arch-dev-public] Moving jackbeat to [community]?
by Andrea Scarpino 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hi, I am updating jackbeat, which is orphan, in [extra] and the last release (0.7.2) needs portaudio from [community]. Still, jackbeat provides pulseaudio support if it is built with; pulseaudio is in [community]. This package is orphan, so I think is not a good solution if I update it and add another orphan package into [extra]. But I can update and move it to [community] or AUR (pkgstats says 4.47%). Maybe some TUs is interested. Opinions? -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[arch-dev-public] archweb work in progress
by Dan McGee 17 Nov '09

Hey guys, I noticed Andrea committed to archweb_pub tonight (http://projects.archlinux.org/archweb_pub.git/commit/?id=21d9248cf2af7d9178…) As a heads up, Ismael and I have been working off-list to rewrite archweb so it isn't disjoint anymore, but that means anything committed to the existing repos is going to probably be lost unless we are careful to port it over. Please let me know if you need anything done on these projects. I'm going to attach my name as the maintainer in the near future since Dusty's departure, but it is also nice to give a heads up if you are committing to a project that isn't "yours" just so those that are in the know stay in the know. -Dan

Hi, The sdl_mixer-1.2.10 bump contain a soname bump so some rebuilds are needed. I have created a TODO list (not complete for [community]) I have also put some other sdl_* packages in [testing] as there appears to be some other incompatibilities (e.g. the sdl_image update appears to break frozen_bubble but not chromium-bsu). So if you like playing games, it may be best to hold off updating from [testing] for a couple of days. Allan

[arch-dev-public] udev changes/compat rules
by Andreas Radke 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

udev just had a new release that will require some changes. most of them our udev maintainers will have to take care. I just want to let you know I will introduce a udev-compat pkg from a splitted PKGBUILD that will contain a few needed compat rules needed for kernels <2.6.31. Our kernel26-lts will depend on that udev-compat package in the future. That's what I plan to add to the udev-compat pkg: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob;f=rules/gentoo/30-ke… -Andy for more changes some notes from the udev mailing list: udev 147 ======== Bugfixes. To support DEVPATH strings larger than the maximum file name length, the private udev database format has changed. If some software still reads the private files in /dev/.udev/, which it shouldn't, now it's time to fix it. Please do not port anything to the new format again, everything in /dev/.udev is and always was private to udev, and may and will change any time without prior notice. Multiple devices claiming the same names in /dev are limited to symlinks only now. Mixing identical symlink names and node names is not supported. This reduces the amount of data in the database significantly. NAME="%k" causes a warning now. It's is and always was completely superfluous. It will break kernel supplied DEVNAMEs and therefore it needs to be removed from all rules. Most NAME= instructions got removed. Kernel 2.6.31 supplies the needed names if they are not the default. To support older kernels, the NAME= rules need to be added to the compat rules file. Symlinks to udevadm with the old command names are no longer resolved to the udevadm commands. The udev-acl tool got adopted to changes in ConsoleKit. Version 0.4.11 is required now. The option "last_rule" does no longer exist. Its use breaks too many things which expect to be run from independent later rules, and is an indication that something needs to be fixed properly instead. The gudev API is no longer marked as experimental, G_UDEV_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE is no longer needed. The gudev introspection is enabled by default now. Various projects already depend on introspection information to bind dynamic languages to the gudev interfaces.

[arch-dev-public] [PATCH] rc.sysinit: background hwclock calls
by Dan McGee 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

hwclock calls appear to block somewhere between 1 and 2 seconds when we have back-to-back calls. My theory (without looking at the code) is that hwclock has to synchronize to the 1 second intervals of the hardware clock, so it can sometimes take up to a second to complete. To get around this unpleasant behavior, we can background the calls at point X in the boot sequence, and then later at point Y in the script (when we absolutely need the clock actions to be complete), we wait on the subprocess. This allows the rest of the boot sequence, after both hwclock code blocks, to continue until the point where we wait on the subprocess. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan(a)archlinux.org> --- For reference, but didn't want to include them in the patch as they will probably disappear: Before on the Eee: http://www.toofishes.net/uploads/bootchart-2.png After: http://www.toofishes.net/uploads/bootchart-3.png Note that there is no longer a huge section of time where the CPU is going unused; this was the second hwclock block before.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] glibc-2.11 toolchain rebuild
by Allan McRae 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

I have put the glibc-2.11 toolchain rebuild in [testing]. Apart from glibc-2.11, the kernel header patch level got bumped to the latest version and I took a newer snapshot of the binutils-2.20 branch. From a quick look at the changelog there should not be a lot of issues compiling stuff like previous glibc/gcc releases. As always, it has be well tested in Fedora and you should look there for any patches needed. Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] Upstream bug closures
by Jan de Groot 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

I see a lot of bugs getting closed with "Upstream" lately because they're not packaging bugs. This is not the way to solve bugs. The only bugs that should be closed upstream are the ones in binary modules like flashplugin or nvidia binary drivers. Opensource software can be fixed or debugged, so we should do that instead of using this bogus closure option.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] openssl 0.9.8l-1
by Pierre Schmitz 08 Nov '09

Moin, you might have heard from the possible MTM attack against TLS. Openssl has released a new version which disabled the affected renegotiation feature. We should move this to core soon. For more information see http://extendedsubset.com/?p=8 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2009-3555 Please note that this is more or less a protocol design flaw which means that every SSL implementation should be affected, not only openssl (e.g. Firefox uses nss and there is also gnutls). So we should have a look at those packages, too. Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

Hey all, I'm heading to Jamaica for a week (next week) and will basically be out of touch for that time. The only internet access I will have will be in random cafes. I will bring my Eee with me just in case. But, if you need anything, I'm fairly certain you guys can handle it. All of you doing admin type work seem competent enough to deal with anything that comes up, so I will not have anything to worry about. If, for some random reason, people need to get a hold of me, I can get incoming text messages for free. Dan knows my number. If anyone else wants it, let me know. Anything that needs doing before I go? You have until Friday :) Cheers, Aaron

[arch-dev-public] Arch Devs at ArchCon
by Dusty Phillips 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Hey guys, I don't belong on this list anymore, but nobody had the good sense to delete me, so here I am emulating a Travis. As some of you are likely aware, we're planning to host an ArchCon in Toronto in July. I'm estimating a two day conference, maybe three, but we need people to make it interesting. Dan's already considering doing about fifty talks, 42 of which should be pretty awesome. If the rest of you could all do another fifty, it'd be real nice, y'know? Well.... no, but seriously, if anyone thinks they can make it and can do a talk or two on packaging or developing, or namcap or cat herding, or whatever, it'd make things much cooler. I know it's a long way for Europeans and Aussies to come, but a few North American developers presenting would be nice. Toronto is relatively central to the continent, so it shouldn't be too bad a trip for a lot of people. I'd love to offer some financial assistance as incentive to come, but I don't think we can afford it. There will be a reduction in registration fees, but those aren't going to amount to much compared to hotel, driving, or flight expenses. (Your primary benefit for doing this will be the chance to meet me. I'll let the people who have had that displeasure describe how you don't want to miss out on that experience.) On that topic (money, not meeting me), does anyone here object to donating a few hundred dollars of donation money to supporting the conference? Or Schwag money (which is kind of the same thing eventually, I dump it in donations to Aaron if I don't spend it on more schwag, conferences, or maybe a new system for myself...)? Also on that topic, if you know a company that may be interested in having their name plastered all over the archcon site, the walls at the conference, and any schwag shipped with the conference in exchange for more monetary support, let me know. I'm only looking for a few hundred dollars each from a few different sponsors, it shouldn't break anyone's bank, and I don't expect anyone huge like google or oracle to be interested. Dusty

[arch-dev-public] Status of slimserver
by Eric Bélanger 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Hi, Is there anyone interested in maintaining slimserver? It's currently orphaned, out-of-date and doesn't even install (missing perl-compress-zlib depends FS#16490). If no one wants it, we could solve all these problems by moving it to AUR. Eric

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] filesystem-2009.11-1
by Allan McRae 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

There were quite a few changes committed to SVN and this was the last package with a /usr/man directory in [core] and [extra] so I cut a release. Here is a summary of the changes: * securetty Add 'hvc0' for virtual consoles * fstab Change /dev/shm to nodev,nosuid Change "none" to "devpts" for /dev/pts and to "shm" for /dev/shm so they look nicer in mtab * profile Remove LC_COLLATE=C from the default /etc/profile Apparently this is not necessary and has been tested for a while. If this causes regex-based scripts to fail, we should add LC_COLLATE=C to those scripts themselves. See FS#15250 * group Add 'x' to all group passwords by default, to disable them * misc converted to "any" architecture. remove /usr/man Allan

[arch-dev-public] /var/empty
by Roman Kyrylych 03 Nov '09

Shouldn't /var/empty be created by filesystem package, instead of by packages that require it? (like openssh and openntpd) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] Cronjob for regular git garbage collection
by Thomas Bächler 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

When I broke our projects.archlinux.org vhost, I noticed that cloning git via http:// takes ages. This could be vastly improved by running a regular cronjob to 'git gc' all /srv/projects/git repositories. It would also speed up cloning/pulling via git://, as the "remote: compressing objects" stage will be much less work on the server. Are there any objections against setting this up?

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mdadm-3.1-1
by Tobias Powalowski 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi bump to latest version, please signoff. Due to lack of hardware also users can signoff. Please update and recreate your initcpio after upgrading. One thing i observed, when using a custom /etc/mdadm.conf file our rc.sysinit will run mdadm --assemble --scan, which will always give exit code 2, due to devices busy. Thanks. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

Hi, Looking at the list of packages with uncompressed man pages [1], there are quire a few recently built packages... So this is just a reminder that we should all have zipman set in our makepkg.conf (including in our build chroots).

New upstream release. Please signoff. -Andy The file... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2009p.tar.gz ...is now available; this reflects the Argentina (including San Luis) changes circulated on the time zone mailing list last week (with the correction from Mariano Absatz). Now that 2009p has all the changes affecting current stamps, I'll be moving on to stuff affecting past and future time stamps. Expect a 2009q next week, but if you're only interested in current stuff, 2009p should do the job. --ado The files... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2009q.tar.gz ...and... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2009q.tar.gz ...are now available; these reflect the changes circulated last week on the time zone mailing list (with two corrections as reported by Eric Muller and Philip Newton). --ado
