Looks like we have a new rebuild list then: $ pacman -Sqs vim- gvim vim-a vim-bufexplorer vim-buftabs vim-colorsamplerpack vim-doxygentoolkit vim-guicolorscheme vim-matchit vim-minibufexpl vim-omnicppcomplete vim-project vim-taglist vim-vcscommand vim-workspace vim-pastie vim-rails vim-supertab vim-surround vim-timestamp vimpager Why the heck gvim and vimpager showed up in there I'm not sure, but the above plugin packages probably all use the default location. We should additionally make sure they depend on 'vim' and not 'vi', as I rebuilt two or three plugins already that made the assumption they were one and the same. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] LZMA - in or out? ([signoff] libarchive 2.6.0)

I don't want to go too back and forth on this on the signoff thread so I'll move it here. I was thinking much more in the context of archives in general rather than just pacman using libarchive. libarchive ships with bsdtar, which I have found to be quicker than GNU tar at extracting (so I use it nearly exclusively). It would be a shame to tell people "we don't support .tar.lzma for anything"- that seems rather arbitrary, doesn't it? I too think [core] should stay as slim as possible, but when that requires we compile our packages with a less than ideal set of features, I want to at least give it some thought. -Dan

upstream update. please signoff. -Andy SQLite Release 3.6.14 On 2009 May 7 (3.6.14) Changes associated with this release include the following: * Added the optional asynchronous VFS module. * Enhanced the query optimizer so that virtual tables are able to make use of OR and IN operators in the WHERE clause. * Speed improvements in the btree and pager layers. * Added the SQLITE_HAVE_ISNAN compile-time option which will cause the isnan() function from the standard math library to be used instead of SQLite's own home-brew NaN checker. * Countless minor bug fixes, documentation improvements, new and improved test cases, and code simplifications and cleanups.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] toolchain
by Allan McRae 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hi all, Signoffs are needed for the toolchain gcc-4.4.0 rebuild. This involves the following packages gcc{,-libs}-4.4.0-1 glibc-2.9-7 bintuils-2.9-7 kernel-headers-2.6.29.1-1 and two new deps for gcc: ppl-0.10.2-2 cloog-ppl-0.15.3-1 I was going to wait until glibc-2.10 arrived at the end of the week to give people time to find fixes for gcc-4.4 issues but there are issues with C++ programs compiled with gcc-4.4 running against (or to be more precise, not running with) the gcc-4.3 libs. So not moving the toolchain would probably block KDE from moving from [testing]. Also, Fedora has done their rebuild using gcc-4.4 for F11 so patches should be available for any problems encountered.

[arch-dev-public] Audio packages
by Allan McRae 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hi all, Do we have a dev here that wants to spend some time with the audio packages? They have not received much love lately... The jackbeat update requires moving portaudio from [community]. We also have ardour that is quite out-of-date but requires adding several deps to the repos. I updated jack-audio-connection-kit, but it also needs a rework of is rc.d script to actually make it useful and I have not had time to address yet (if anybody wants to do this contact me for the details). So, what do we do? Is there a dev who has time and interest to take these over? Otherwise do we bring someone onboard to maintain these packages or encourage someone in the arch-audio group to become a TU and move them to community? Allan

[arch-dev-public] grub2 image support
by Ronald van Haren 10 May '09

10 May '09

Hi, For those of you who are using grub2 and are interested in making your boot selection menu a bit nicer, the newly uploaded grub2 supports backgrounds and stuff. Config syntax in your grub.cfg is similar to: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode="1024x768x32" insmod gfxterm insmod vbe terminal_output gfxterm if terminal_output gfxterm; then true ; else terminal gfxterm fi fi insmod tga background_image /boot/grub/archlinux.tga +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ though obviously a background image is not included. Other image types should work as well if you load the correct modules (see the .mod files in /boot/grub) Ronald ps. I had to add a bdf-unifont package to the repo in order to make it work a bit easier. It is now a makedepend of grub2.

[arch-dev-public] glibc and minimum kernel version
by Allan McRae 10 May '09

10 May '09

Now glibc-2.10 is out, I will be preparing another toolchain rebuild. One question that has been discussed previously is bumping the minimum kernel required by glibc. Bumping it too recent is full of stupid, but bumping it some would cut down on some unnecessary glibc workaround code. I am thinking that the minimal kernel version should be 2.6.22 which was released two years ago. It is the lowest kernel version that udev works with so people using kernels older than that need to do some workarounds anyway. Any comments/objections? Allan

Especially Xen is something you want to keep compatibility with. As for udev that doesn't work with older kernels: there's always something called static /dev that people can use as a workaround, and chroots don't need udev anyways.

[arch-dev-public] [sigoff] coreutils-7.3
by Allan McRae 07 May '09

07 May '09

Upstream changelog: * Noteworthy changes in release 7.3 (2009-05-01) [stable] ** Bug fixes cp now diagnoses failure to preserve selinux/xattr attributes when --preserve=context,xattr is specified in combination with -a. Also, cp no longer suppresses attribute-preservation diagnostics when preserving SELinux context was explicitly requested. ls now aligns output correctly in the presence of abbreviated month names from the locale database that have differing widths. ls -v and sort -V now order names like "#.b#" properly mv: do not print diagnostics when failing to preserve xattr's on file systems without xattr support. sort -m no longer segfaults when its output file is also an input file. E.g., with this, touch 1; sort -m -o 1 1, sort would segfault. [introduced in coreutils-7.2] ** Changes in behavior shred, sort, shuf: now use an internal pseudorandom generator by default. This is mainly noticable in shred where the 3 random passes it does by default should proceed at the speed of the disk. Previously /dev/urandom was used if available, which is relatively slow on GNU/Linux systems. ** Improved robustness cp would exit successfully after copying less than the full contents of a file larger than ~4000 bytes from a linux-/proc file system to a destination file system with a fundamental block size of 4KiB or greater. Reading into a 4KiB-or-larger buffer, cp's "read" syscall would return a value smaller than 4096, and cp would interpret that as EOF (POSIX allows this). This optimization, now removed, saved 50% of cp's read syscalls when copying small files. Affected linux kernels: at least 2.6.9 through 2.6.29. [the optimization was introduced in coreutils-6.0] ** Portability df now pre-mounts automountable directories even with automounters for which stat-like syscalls no longer provoke mounting. Now, df uses open. `id -G $USER` now works correctly even on Darwin and NetBSD. Previously it would either truncate the group list to 10, or go into an infinite loop, due to their non-standard getgrouplist implementations. [truncation introduced in coreutils-6.11] [infinite loop introduced in coreutils-7.1]

[arch-dev-public] Status of arch=any ?
by Firmicus 06 May '09

06 May '09

IIRC Abishek and Aaron have been recently working to implement "arch=any" in devtools etc. May I kindly ask about the current status of that? If there's any work you would like to me to do, I might be able to give a hand. I'm asking because I am about to do a mass update of the texlive packages, and that feature would be very convenient as all texlive packages save one are arch-independent. Some of them can also be very large (e.g. texlive-fontsextra with 136MB). So my question is: if the implementation of the arch=any feature is more or less imminent, I might wait before uploading the new texlive packages... Cheers F

That package has no place in Arch anyway. It's non-free, unnecessary and improperly packaged. There are good alternatives (ttf-freefont should be okay, also the standard Xorg fonts are enough IMO). AUR has a proper package for this, so people who need it can build that. I say we drop it, as it does not meet Arch's packaging standards.

[arch-dev-public] ffmpeg and x264 update/rebuild in testing
by Eric Bélanger 04 May '09

Hi, I've just put an updated ffmpeg and x264 in testing. I've updated ffmpeg to the latest stable version (0.5) that was released recently and x264 was updated to the latest snapshot. The x264 library has a soname bump so the following packages have been rebuilt: mplayer avidemux gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins vlc opal Because the ffmpeg version scheme change (20090217 -> 0.5) was causing problem on pacman update, I also had to rebuild the following packages to change their ffmpeg versioned dependency: cmus k3b motion nuvexport sox transcode xine-lib Some notes: - nuvexport was out-of-date so I updated it. - Concerning mplayer, I haven't done any changes related to the GUI. However, I changed the libcaca makedepends to a depends. Please test and report any problems.

As it's a rewrite, and not source or binary compatible, I decided to rename the package for now. Until every application in the repositories has been ported to the 1.0 version of libusb, this package will stay.

The makedepends on gcj or java-gcj-compat can be changed to openjdk6. As for classpath in community: classpath is an abandoned project and was merged into gcj, which was abandoned when Sun released OpenJDK as GPL. I don't think we should care so much about it. About eclipse-ecj: it's outdated because of the gcj patch, newer versions don't work with gcj. We could keep it and build with openjdk if we want, as eclipse-ecj is a faster compiler than javac itself in some situations (mainly when used as JSP compiler for Tomcat or any other servlet container).

[arch-dev-public] gcc-4.4.0 toolchain rebuild with query about gcc-gcj and related packages
by Allan McRae 01 May '09

01 May '09

Hi all, The gcc-4.4.0 toolchain rebuild is now in [testing]. Here is a rough ChangeLog: kernel-headers: - upstream updated (2.6.29.1) glibc: - update cvs snapshot from 2.9 branch - removed glibc-2.5-localedef_segfault-1.patch (old and appears fixed upstream) - removed glibc-2.7-bz4781.patch (rejected upstream as bug in gcc - Andy: please check if your issue is solved) - compress info pages - fix info page handling in install script binutils: - update cvs snapshot from 2.19 branch - remove texinfo dep through install script - add upstream patch to improve -Wl,--as-needed usage - add linker scripts for libbfd.so and libopcodes.so - compress info pages gcc-libs - new makedepends (ppl and cloog-ppl) - removed unneeded bison build patch - removed treelang (done upstream) gcc - removals as in gcc-libs - added dependencies on new packages ppl and cloog-ppl (for graphite optimizations) - update libstdc++ man pages - install license exception - compress info pages I am having great difficultly getting a working gcc-gcj... It builds fine using the gcc-gcj-4.3.x package but when I rebuild eclipse-ecj with the freshly built 4.4.0 package, I can not rebuild gcc-gcj again. Updating eclipse-ecj to the latest build does not fix the issue. After two and a half days of trying to track this down, I am ready to give up. If someone else wants to look at this, go ahead but... Do we really need gcc-gcj, eclipse-ecj and java-gcj-compat any more? Reason I see for removing it: - I can't get it to build - java-gcj-compat provides java-runtime, but I checked six packages in the repos against this and none actually fully worked - which also is very bad as it is the first package found by pacman for java-runtime - we have a free java now in openjdk6 Opinions?

[arch-dev-public] go-openoffice to testing/extra
by Andreas Radke 01 May '09

01 May '09

I'd like to bring the Novell "fork" of OpenOffice.org to testing and later to extra. But it's not (yet) a real fork. More a major improvement in features and lower packager maintenance. It also allows installation into /usr instead of /opt. Beside Novell/SuSE also Gentoo, Frugalware, ArkLinux and Debian use it as their main office suite. It has some additional features (svg support, multimedia for presentations, faster startup and kde(3) integration, hopefully later easy splitted packages). But main reason is faster integration of fixes and features. Not one additional patch is required to build it :) See http://go-oo.org/discover/ for more. I'm still unsure if it will become an additional flavor of OOo in our repos or if I will make it later a complete replacement of the Vanilla Sun OpenOffice for ArchLinux. It also gives our devs and community members an easier way to contribute to go-oo, e.g. you can help porting for KDE4 integration that is still in (so they told me) unusable state. Any objections adding go-openoffice? -Andy (technical note: build requirements are even higher than for vanilla OOo, 13gb space proved to be no more enough space to build this monster... - have fun with 'abs')

by Allan McRae 01 May '09

Signoff sed-4.2-1 - licence GPL3 - added acl dep - added gettext makedep - install script for info page Upstream release notes: * now released under GPLv3 * added a new extension `z` to clear pattern space even in the presence of invalid multibyte sequences * a preexisting GNU gettext installation is needed in order to compile GNU sed with NLS support * new option --follow-symlinks, available when editing a file in-place. This option may not be available on some systems (in this case, the option will *not* be a no-op; it will be completely unavailable). In the future, the option may be added as a no-op on systems without symbolic links at all, since in this case a no-op is effectively indistinguishable from a correct implementation. * hold-space is reset between different files in -i and -s modes. * multibyte processing fixed * the following GNU extensions are turned off by --posix: options [iImMsSxX] in the `s' command, address kinds `FIRST~STEP' and `ADDR1,+N' and `ADDR1,~N', line address 0, `e' or `z' commands, text between an `a' or `c' or `i' command and the following backslash, arguments to the `l' command. --posix disables all extensions to regular expressions. * fixed bug in 'i\' giving a segmentation violation if given alone. * much improved portability * much faster in UTF-8 locales * will correctly replace ACLs when using -i * will now accept NUL bytes for `.'

I'm just trying to give it a whirl on a testing box. The main issue is that the old package created a symlink that is not tracked by the version control at all.

[arch-dev-public] Mplayer in two separate packages
by Hugo Doria 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

There is an old feature request for mplayer [1]: create it using two separate packages, one with only the CLI version and one for the GUI. There are some reasons for this: 1) By default the GUI is not enabled on mplayer 2) The package will not depend on gtk2 3) The user will be able to choose which GUI he wants to use. Now gmplayer is installed, even when the user wants to use another GUI, or do not use a GUI at all. Obviously there are some points that need to be discussed: 1) We do not usually split packages. Maybe this case is not a real division of packages because, by default, the GUI is not compiled. Don't know. 2) What do we do with the GUI version? Keep it on [extra] or move to community/AUR? I would like to hear your opinions. [1] http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10220 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18516 -- Hugo

Hi all. The practical effect of this message is precisely nothing, as I have been inactive for quite a while now. For the last few months, real life has been increasingly demanding, but I was hoping I would find a way to accommodate Arch activities alongside the usual chaos and mayhem. It's now clear that this is not going to happen any time soon, so I've orphaned my remaining packages, and I'm now returning the key to the Arch executive washroom. I hope to return at some point, but I can't say when that will be. Being an Arch dev has been a revelation to me, and it has been wonderful working with you all. I will continue to be a keen Arch user, and will do my best to contribute in some capacity, as time permits. I would like to retain my subscription to this list, read-only of course, and I will discuss my status as forum mod and irc op with the respective teams. I have no doubt that Arch will continue to thrive, guided by an extraordinarily committed dev team, and supported by an enthusiastic user community. I wish you all the very best of luck.

[arch-dev-public] Nautilus extension for packages
by K. Piche 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hey everyone, For fun I hacked together a Nautilus extension to add an extra file property page for pacman packages. I've got a binary package cleverly called nautilus-pacman available at http://kpiche.archlinux.ca/repo/nautilus-pacman-0.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz or use my repo: [kpiche] Server = http://kpiche.archlinux.ca/repo The package also adds a mime type and a mime type icon. Install then logout & login or run 'nautilus -q'. No source yet as I wish to scan for embarrassments first. :) Some notes and things I found out: - It's not amazingly useful since most of us probably use the CLI and don't manage packages with a file manager. Could add some "Install" context menus later perhaps. - The property page is ugly, sorry. not sure the best way to display the other package attributes just yet - No i18n - The extra mime bits are not tied to Nautilus and should be in a general package - libalpm could use a pkgconfig file for use in autoconf. - You can't initialize, release, then initialize the library in the same instance of a program. Took a while to find those SIG11's. - Curious if we have a logo that would look better as an icon, maybe an outline? Later, K -- K. Piche <kpiche(a)rogers.com>

Yeah, I will get to this tonight. I have been slacking way too much with Arch stuff (been hella busy at work) - it irritates me, so I'm going to power through a few things I've been putting off tonight. Both devtools AND archiso need changes, but I also want to get some of my packages out of the way and finish up the bash rebuilds (mkinitcpio issue is fixed in one of the official patches, so I'll be pushing out 4.0.17 as soon as I can)

[arch-dev-public] Do not touch user's home dirs in install scripts
by Pierre Schmitz 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi all, I just noticed that a lot of install scripts (in my case nearly all font packagescalling fc-cache) touch the users home dir in some way. So please don't use fc-cache without the -s parameter. In my case the home dir was mounted via AFS including thousands of accounts. And root does not even have permission to read or write the user's dir. So while un/installing ttf-bitsream-vera the whole systems hangs and fc-cache somehow produces a soft-lockup. :-) -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

Some programs use python to get the config path and the name of the python library. Some ask about the dynamic one specifically and won't get it because it isn't there, others will just link to the static one. Fedora also adds this symlink, and after making these links in my build chroots, programs like inkscape and epiphany link dynamic to the python interpreter. Note that CVS is read-only for a while now, please commit it to SVN ;)

While you're updating python, could you also link /usr/lib/libpython2.6.so to the path where libpython2.6.a is located inside the package? I did this in my build chroots, and it causes applications to link dynamic instead of static against the python library. Without this, inkscape won't even link to libpython at all.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sudo-1.7.1-1
by Allan McRae 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

Signoff sudo-1.7.1-1. Upstream update. Major changes between version 1.7.0 and 1.7.1: * Fixed a bug in the version of glob() supplied with sudo that affected character classes and ranges. * Fixed a NULL pointer dereference when the sudoers file mode or owner was incorrect. * Fixed a NULL pointer dereference when a PAM module called the sudo conversation function during a phase other than authentication. * Fixed an LDAP compatibility problem with the AIX LDAP libraries. * A new Defaults option "pwfeedback" will cause sudo to provide visual feedback when the user is entering a password. * A new Defaults option "fast_glob" will cause sudo to use the fnmatch() function for file name globbing instead of glob(). When this option is enabled, sudo will not check the file system when expanding wildcards. This is faster but a side effect is that relative paths with wildcard will no longer work. * New BSM audit support for systems that support it such as FreeBSD and Mac OS X. * The file name specified with the #include directive may now include a %h escape which is expanded to the short form of hostname. * The -k flag may now be specified along with a command, causing the user's timestamp file to be ignored. * New support for Tivoli-based LDAP START_TLS, present in AIX. * New support for /etc/netsvc.conf on AIX. * The unused alias checks in visudo now handle the case of an alias referring to another alias. * A new Defaults option "umask_override" will cause sudo to set the umask specified in sudoers even if it is more permissive than the invoking user's umask.

[arch-dev-public] New package in extra: watchdog
by Thomas Bächler 19 Apr '09

19 Apr '09

The watchdog package contains two daemons: wd_keepalive and watchdog. They both connect to /dev/watchdog and send keepalives to the kernel watchdog driver, which in turn sends them to the watchdog chip. Once it stops doing so, the watchdog chip will shut down or reboot the machine. The kernel also has a software watchdog driver, but that will not detect if the kernel itself locks up completely. Also, the watchdog daemon can monitor network, system load and other things and will reboot the machine under certain conditions. The package is in AUR, but doesn't have too many votes. However, Dan was planning to use this in gerolde (which we really should do) and thus it should be an extra package. Opinions?

[arch-dev-public] [core] lzo and pkg-config
by Jud 15 Apr '09

Hi all, In trying to be consistent with Arch's standard of naming packages the same as upstream, I have notice two packages that will need attention. lzo2 ==> lzo pkgconfig ==> pkg-config The old lzo was only required by transcode which is now fixed. Can the old lzo be moved into unsupported? lzo2 (required by): * archboot * lzop * mkvtoolnix * openvpn * transcode There seems to be a few packages that have 'pkgconfig' as a 'makedepends', this could easily be a one-off fix as needed when that particular package needs to be updated. pkgconfig (required by): * dssi * python-vpython This will be the last time I attach full PKGBUILDs, I'm off to try and learn SVN. Thanks.

Hi guys, I would like to remove zope and zope2 from extra, as they are not correctly packaged and i have the following points to dont use then anymore: - They have only 0.10 ~ 0.15 users - They are not correctly packaged - Zope3 is not heavily used (its libs are quite a lot used) - Plone does not work with this zope2 package (which renders it almost unusable) - With the new tecnologies like buildout there is no need for building a Zope package Note that i will keep zope.interface in extra, as it is a very used package and it is a dep for twisted.

Xorg-server 1.6.0 and its related drivers will make their move to extra. This new release features input device properties, DRI2 and kernel modesetting (KMS). Note that DRI2 and KMS are only implemented by the Intel driver at this moment. This release also comes with a new driver: xf86-video-intel-legacy. This driver is an old intel driver version, patched to support recent xorg-server versions. This driver should be used by people having problems with the newer xf86-video-intel driver. People still using xorg-server 1.4.2 are advised to upgrade and replace intel or i810 drivers with the legacy driver.

[arch-dev-public] Updating ardour
by Allan McRae 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Hi all, Due to popular request, I have been updating some of the audio software in our repos. Updated versions of jack-audio-connection-kit and qjackctl are in [testing] so test them out. The update for ardour is slightly more annoying. The download page on the main site stops direct downloads of the source in an attempt to get donations. The source is still GPL so I can just put it on ftp.archlinux.org/other, but bypassing their download script seems not nice... It also requires a few new deps added to [extra]. At least, slv2 (and lv2) is required. Adding rubberband (and its vamp-plugin-sdk dep???) would also be a nice addition to the package. Any objections to all this? Allan

Description ----------- man-db contains an implementation of the man command, which is the primary way of examining the on-line help files (manual pages). Other utilities provided include the whatis and apropos commands for searching the manual page database, the manpath utility for determining the manual page search path, and the maintenance utilities mandb, catman and zsoelim. The package requires a troff installation, such as groff (GNU troff) to format and display the manual pages. About this release ------------------ This is a quick bug-fix release to correct handling of non-default encodings specified in manual pages' preprocessor lines, and to correct an uninitialised variable noticed by Dustin Marquess that could lead to excessive memory allocation and possible crashes.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] m4-1.4.13-1
by Allan McRae 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi, Sign-off for m4-1.3.13-1. Upstream update. Removed the texinfo dep (through check in install function) and compressed info pages. * Noteworthy changes in Version 1.4.13 (2009-04-01) [stable] Released by Eric Blake, based on git version 1.4.12.* ** The manual is now distributed under the terms of FDL 1.3. ** The `divert' and `undivert' builtins have been made more efficient when using temporary files for large diversions. ** The `translit' builtin has been made more efficient when the second argument is short. ** The input engine has been optimized for faster processing. ** The command line option `--debugfile', introduced in 1.4.7, now treats its argument as optional, in order to allow setting the debug output back to stderr when used without an argument; and order is now significant with respect to command line files. You must therefore use `m4 --debugfile=trace file', not `m4 file --debugfile trace'. This change does not affect the deprecated `-o'/`--error-output' option. ** The `syscmd' and `esyscmd' builtins can be configured to use an alternate shell, via the new `configure' option `--with-syscmd-shell'. ** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.

[arch-dev-public] new package: xf86-video-intel-legacy
by Jan de Groot 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hello Intel users, There's a new package in testing (x86_64 only at this moment, i686 will follow later today) called "xf86-video-intel-legacy". This is the old 2.3.2 driver, patched to support xorg-server 1.6 and newer versions of libdrm. Users with pre-G965 hardware who suffer from performance issues with the current -intel driver should test this release. Note that this driver is rather old and doesn't contain support for all the new hardware around these days. G965+ users should be better off with the normal intel driver. I hope this driver can replace the need for the old i915 repository maintained by a community member. If this is the case, expect xorg-server 1.6 to be moving to extra soon.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] coreutils 7.2-1
by Andreas Radke 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

new bugfix upstream release. please signoff. -Andy * Noteworthy changes in release 7.2 (2009-03-31) [stable] ** New features pwd now accepts the options --logical (-L) and --physical (-P). For compatibility with existing scripts, -P is the default behavior unless POSIXLY_CORRECT is requested. ** Bug fixes cat once again immediately outputs data it has processed. Previously it would have been buffered and only output if enough data was read, or on process exit. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0] comm's new --check-order option would fail to detect disorder on any pair of lines where one was a prefix of the other. For example, this would fail to report the disorder: printf 'Xb\nX\n'>k; comm --check-order k k [bug introduced in coreutils-7.0] cp once again diagnoses the invalid "cp -rl dir dir" right away, rather than after creating a very deep dir/dir/dir/... hierarchy. The bug strikes only with both --recursive (-r, -R) and --link (-l). [bug introduced in coreutils-7.1] ls --sort=version (-v) sorted names beginning with "." inconsistently. Now, names that start with "." are always listed before those that don't. pr: fix the bug whereby --indent=N (-o) did not indent header lines [bug introduced in coreutils-6.9.90] sort now handles specified key ends correctly. Previously -k1,1b would have caused leading space from field 2 to be included in the sort while -k2,3.0 would have not included field 3. ** Changes in behavior cp,mv,install,cat,split: now read and write a minimum of 32KiB at a time. This was seen to increase throughput. Up to 2 times when reading cached files on linux for example. cp -a now tries to preserve extended attributes (xattr), but does not diagnose xattr-preservation failure. However, cp --preserve=all still does. ls --color: hard link highlighting can be now disabled by changing the LS_COLORS environment variable. To disable it you can add something like this to your profile: eval `dircolors | sed s/hl=[^:]*:/hl=:/`

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3-3.6.12-1
by Andreas Radke 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

another bugfix upstream release. please signoff. -Andy SQLite version 3.6.12 is now available on the SQLite website http://www.sqlite.org/ During release testing for 3.6.12, we stumbled over a critical bug that has existed in SQLite since version 3.4.0. This bug will cause corruption of in-memory databases if an incremental vacuum is rolled back. The corruption is virtually guaranteed if you rollback an incremental vacuum in an in-memory database. Presumably not many people are doing that or we would have seen this sooner. As far as we are aware, incremental vacuum works correctly for on-disk databases. We will continue to study this issue over the next weeks and release additional patches if we find new problems. A manual code review uncovered another bug in the lookaside memory allocator which can result in a segfault when shared cache is enabled. At the very least, users of shared cache should disable lookaside memory. A better solution is to update to version 3.6.12. New features added to version 3.6.12 include the sqlite3_unlock_notify() interface and the reverse_unordered_selects PRAGMA. Additional information about both is available on the website. Because of the incremental vacuum and lookaside memory allocator issues identified above, we recommend that everyone update to SQLite version 3.6.12. D. Richard Hipp drh(a)hwaci.com

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] crda 1.0.1-2, wireless-regdb 2009.03.09-1
by Thomas Bächler 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Changes compared to 1.0.1-1: - Split crda into crda and wireless-regdb (as it is done by all other distros that already include it) The regdb will probably be updated more often than crda - If crda is installed, the integrity of the regdb is now verified on build and install time (if not, a warning is issued on build time, and nothing happens on install time) A warning is issued if the database is corrupted. - The file /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom moved from crda to wireless-regdb. If the user has already set the domain there, the .pacorig file overwrites the one from wireless-regdb. This is safe, as the only changes that may be in the stock file are newly added domains, which are commented - It is not necessary to add wireless-regdom to DAEMONS any more. As soon as cfg80211 is loaded, the regdom is set (if one is specified in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom) This is not only more convenient, but also ensures the regdom is still set correctly after rmmod cfg80211; modprobe cfg80211 Please sign off. Note that with 2.6.29-ARCH and newer, you will only get access to the "World" regdom (channels 1-11, plus some 5GHz channels with passive scanning only) if you don't install crda and set your regdom. (With 2.6.28-ARCH and older, the "US" regdom was enabled by default, and you could set "EU" and "JP" domains with a module parameter) Signoff procedure: 1) If crda is already installed, wireless-regdb will issue a warning on installation if anything is corrupted. (You can also run regdbdump /usr/lib/crda/regulatory.bin manually, if that shows you a bunch of data instead of an error, all is fine). 2) After a you reboot, reload cfg80211 or "/etc/rc.d/wireless-regdb start", "iw list" should show you the proper channels. You will also see messages in your syslog if you change the regdom. Pending issues: Updates for BN (missing two 5GHz bands) and KR, see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/30811 DE domains misses some 5GHz bands due to confusing documents from the Bundesnetzagentur: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/30803

[arch-dev-public] x86_64 machines for Arch devs
by Dusty Phillips 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hey guys, I know we all agreed to drop i686 support, but it leaves me with a small problem -- I'm one of the few devs not yet blessed with a 64 bit machine. I was thinking maybe we could use the donation funding to buy x86_64 build boxes for each of us. We've got a lot of donation funding and the income from Schwag would of course help, but we'd probably have to do a donation drive to raise about half the funds. It seems like a good use of the funding to me, and our community is totally awesome, I'm sure it won't be hard to raise it. What do you guys think? In the meantime, I'm going to continue maintaining an i686 repo of my own for a few weeks, but lets face it: this machine is a dinosaur, its time to upgrade! Dusty

01 Apr '09

Hi http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10651 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9122 both states raid is broken for more complex setups. According to my earlier mail about assembling raid arrays i wrote a new hook and install file. It uses mdassemble.static from mdadm tarball which is smaller than mdadm.static and does the assembling job and loading of the needed raid module. How does it work: - If a an array is defined on users system /etc/mdadm.conf, the file will be added to initramfs and used for the assembling things. - If no array was defined it falls back to commandline assembling and a madm.conf file will be created on the fly during bootup. Old command line syntax wasn't changed, uuid support is added (eg. md=0,0900878d:f95f6057:c39a36e9:55efa61b) Last Fix: -fixed booting from partitionable raid, by loading md_mod before assembling. Passed Tests: - Tested normal raid 1 setup with and without mdadm.conf modified. - Tested raid1 partitionable raid with extended and without extended partition. - Tested uuid assembling from commandline I think this is ready to move to core, please signoff. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

by Allan McRae 31 Mar '09

Hi, As noted in FS#14038, the permissions of the ABS tree in the rsync server were not as they should be. This abs release adjusts the rsync command so that permissions are not copied. I also added an install script to attempt to correct the permissions in peoples ABS trees. I would like a signoff from someone with wrong directory permissions in /var/abs, reporting that they are nicely fixed afterwards. Allan

[arch-dev-public] Status of X in testing
by Jan de Groot 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Last weekend I've done updates to xorg-server, libdrm, mesa and some drivers. With these updates the last issues with keyboards and touchpads should be solved. I will build these updates for i686 tonight. At this moment we have some open issues: - Big intel memory leaks with DRI2 and UXA - Small intel memory leaks with DRI and EXA - Intel performance with KMS - ATI memory leaks with DRI At this moment, I don't think KMS and DRI2 should be blockers for moving this to extra. KMS doesn't work correctly on all systems, slows things down and given the fact that UXA is a requirement, I don't consider this as stable. Maybe the next kernel will improve things. This leaves us with two blocker bugs: the intel and ati memory leaks. The intel leaks are triggered by desktop effects or compiz, the ATI memoryleaks are triggered by anything DRI related. I don't know how much of this is fixed with the latest libdrm and libgl/mesa.

[arch-dev-public] aufs / unionfs / aufs2
by Thomas Bächler 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Okay, I received a few mails from Christopher Rogers who played with these filesystems and 2.6.29. According to his statements, he could get aufs2 to compile, but it only actually worked when he omitted the unionfs patch. Maintaining this patch mess has been a PITA, so I say we have a choice here: Choose one and drop the rest. I think aufs should not be considered, but only unionfs or aufs2. I don't use these, but the people who do should give some input on which one to choose.

To enable KMS, you'll need this in modprobe.conf: option i915 modeset=1 Remember that KMS requires an up2date intel driver with UXA enabled to work. KMS enabled will not work with non-KMS drivers. I'll update xf86-video-intel, mesa and everything that's related to this to the latest branch snapshots. This should improve some things, though I have no hard results for it yet.

[arch-dev-public] Adding static fuse devnode?
by Jan de Groot 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Would it be possible to add a static fuse device node? At this moment we have this very ugly text in gvfs post_install: ==> GVFS requires FUSE to operate correctly ==> To make full use of GVFS, please load the "fuse" kernel module at bootup. ==> To do so, add 'fuse' to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf ==> ==> Without this module, GVFS will not be compatible with applications that ==> are not GIO-enabled. ==> Creating the /dev/fuse devicenode by default means the kernel will autoload it when needed. Is this wanted behaviour, and can we abuse udev's new static /dev support for this?

[arch-dev-public] Scim and arphic fonts update in [testing]
by Eric Bélanger 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Hi all, I've just updated several scim-related packages. They are in the [testing] repo. The updated packages are: anthy libchewing libhangul scim scim-anthy scim-chewing scim-tables uim scim-uim (no update, just rebuild against uim 1.5.5) As I don't use these packages (I believe no dev use them either), I could only do minimal testing. It would be nice if users of these packages test them and report if they work properly or if there are problems with them. I've also updated (in [testing] repo) the Arphic fonts: ttf-arphic-ukai and ttf-arphic-uming There are two points about these fonts: 1. According to upstream: "This release contains Firefly's Bitmap fonts. The Bitmap fonts are available for 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 pixel and currently cover Big5 and GB2312. HKSCS is currently not supported as there are many more characters missing. So, for Big5 and GB2312 characters the bitmap glyphs should improve the rendering, but for all other characters, the rendering is the same like without bitmap glyphs." I might be nice to get comments about someone using these fonts to see if the ttf-fireflysung package is indeed no longer needed (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8951) 2. The updated ttf-arphic-* packages in testing provide the fonts as a TrueType Collection, i.e. the fonts come in 4 flavors (CN, HK, TW and TW MBE), with different glyph shapes according to the preferred shapes in each region (more info here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/CJKUnifonts/Download) As a result TeX users will encounter trouble using this font. The following programs/libraries are known to not fully support TTC files and can usually only use the first fontface of the TTC: - jdk and openjdk6 - imlib2 and applications which use imlib2. Again, I and probably none of the devs don't use these fonts so feedback from users would be nice. Eric

At least, that is the impression one gets when nvidia releases great drivers for Linux and ATI in the other hand is not showing any promises in making their drivers better and well supported. In the other hand the radeonhd driver, which is in extra shows some promise, and so far have been good, they have been able to make a good driver with only some documentation released by AMD, when AMD can't make one while being the makers, go figure out. This situation is worse in the x86_64 system, we have been stuck with catalyst 8.12 while i686 has 9.2 already, because AMD just wanted to break things at will, because their approach is very strange, break some things to improve others. That is why, we hope for a TU who can bring this drivers to community to raise his hand and help us with this task. Please, if you want to give catalyst the love they don't deserve but need, do not hesitate to offer yourself as the new maintainer. In the worse case scenario where no one raises his hand, the package should be moved to AUR. I personally would not want this, so please TUs respond. A TU will be able to do what is required for the best with this drivers, which includes making 9.2 and later work with x86_64. What do the other developers think? Any developer that wants to take care of them? PS: I do use this drivers, so I do care about them, but this is a choice that had to be made. Thanks, Eduardo "kensai" Romero

[arch-dev-public] dropping lilo?
by Andreas Radke 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

I'm still listed being the maintainer of our lilo package. The former upstream website is down for months, only some mirrors are available. Though the package is still working well (haven't heard any complains) we have 2 good working grub(-legacy) and also grub(2) alternatives and we recommend these now all time. Do you guys think it's time to drop lilo from the repos? I'd like to do so. Or does somebody want to take it over from me? -Andy

[arch-dev-public] New digikam and kipi-plugins (KDE4)
by Daniel Isenmann 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hi, now that the digikam developer team released the first stable KDE4 version I would like to move those version to [extra]. This will replace the old digikam 0.9.5 (KDE3) and makes libkipi obsolete. A new package called lensfun will be moved to [extra], too. This is necessary and needed by the new digikam. Everything is running here fine with the new version and I don't see any errors or issues. I'm not the maintainer of digikam, it's Tobias, but I use digikam in a daily basis with my photos. Because of that I have built the 0.10.0 release for testing today. What do you think, can we move it and replace the old KDE3 version with the new KDE4 version? Daniel
