[arch-dev-public] Gone for the next couple of weeks
by Morten Linderud 10 Jul '21

10 Jul '21

Yo! Sunday evening I'm heading for a cabin trip where we don't have water and electricity is all solar power my dad rigged up a couple of years ago :) It's going to be great. I'm also moving from Bergen to Oslo next weekend! I need to spend some time to settle inn I expect I'll do less upkeep on my regular package maintaining as a result (also getting vaccinated 🥳). I should still be reachable on Matrix or Signal if there is anything urgent, but might not keep that much up with email! I have attached a list of packages I'm the sole maintainer of, but there is nothing here which should require anything urgent while I'm gone 😃. Have a lovely summer!

[arch-dev-public] deprecating git.archlinux.org
by Jelle van der Waa 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Hi All, Today mailman was moved to a dedicated vps, making git.archlinux.org the last service to run on luna which we intend to retire as it's an old expensive box and GitLab is our replacement for Git hosting. If your project has not been migrated to Gitlab yet please contact devops for help migrating it. A list of known to require migration is listed in this ticket. [1] As the invoice date comes up the 8th, it would be awesome if we can cancel the box before that date. [1] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/issues/6 Greetings, Jelle van der Waa

[arch-dev-public] Mailing list migration (Luna->VPS)
by Kristian Klausen 23 Jun '21

23 Jun '21

Hi all The time has finally come to migrate lists.al.org away from Luna and to a Hetzner Cloud VPS. I will do the final testing today and if all goes well the migration will be handled tomorrow (23th of June) between 16-24UTC. A mail will be sent shortly before starting the migration and I don't expect more than 1-2 hours downtime (at worst). If you experience any issues after the migration, please reach out by mail or #archlinux-devops on Libera Chat. As part of the migration there are a few technical changes (draft MR here [1]): * The arch-x(a)archlinux.org -> arch-x(a)lists.archlinux.org aliasing[2] will be dropped * SpamAssassin and OpenDKIM are replaced by Rspamd * postfix_to_mailman.py[3] is replaced by Postfix aliasing [1] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/merge_requests/424 [2] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/blob/a2b8682316e32e… [3] https://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20configure%20postfix_to_mailman.py%… Best regards Kristian Klausen - DevOps

[arch-dev-public] Looking for co-maintainers (and proposal to join cross toolchain packages)
by Filipe Laíns 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

Hi all, Over the past few weeks, perhaps months(?), I have been struggling a little bit with mental health and that has made it a bit harder to keep up-to-date with packaging. For this reason, I would like find co-maintainers for my packages, so that it eases things in times like this. Feel free to adopt any of my packages, just let me know via email or IRC that you have done so. https://archlinux.org/packages/?maintainer=FFY00 Some of the packages that give me the most work are the cross toolchains, not because they are difficult to maintain, they aren't, they just take some work. I was wondering if perhaps we could maybe join them together in one single PKGBUILD? Anatol, Eli, NicoHood and Felix maintain the rest of the cross toolchains, so if they agree maybe we could join all architectures into a single PKGBUILD for each component? Cheers, Filipe Laíns

[arch-dev-public] News draft: sorting old password hashes
by Christian Hesse 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

Hello everybody, old password hashes like MD5 are no longer accepted by recent libxcrypt. On next login user may be enforced to update password. To make sure nobody is worried I would like to add install message and news post: --- >8 --- Starting with libxcrypt 4.4.21 weak password hashes are no longer accepted. If you still have one in your shadow file do not worry if you are enforced to update your password on next login. --- >8 --- -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}

[arch-dev-public] Transitioning out my master key
by Allan McRae 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

It is time for my master key to be retired. That can not happen any time soon, as revoking my key means ~25% of packagers will not be able to validly sign packages... For now, I will no longer be signing new packager keys with my master key. I am unlikely to revoke signatures for people who retire from packaging either. Allan

[arch-dev-public] retracting libxcrypt 4.4.22-1 from [testing]
by Christian Hesse 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

Hello everybody, the testing package libxcrypt 4.4.22-1 was reported to be bad... Andreas was forced to change his password on login, which resulted in him being locked out of his system. We are trying to clarify... So I removed libxcrypt from [testing] for the time being. -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}

[arch-dev-public] TIER 0 Mirror Access for All
by Jelle van der Waa 03 Jun '21

03 Jun '21

Hi All, For everyone with the correct role (Developers, Trusted Users or Support Staff) the tier 0 mirror is available for usage to get the absolute latest packages. The authentication is done with a basic auth which pacman supports and a token has to be generated in archweb to be able to use the mirror. [1] Note that the mirror is mostly useful for rebuilds or when you require the absolute latest packages the server is located in Germany so might not be ideal for everyone.
