[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libnl 1.1-3
by Pierre Schmitz 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Hi, this is another simple rebuild of an old package. Note that I reverted the changes in trunk which already had version 2.0 which we will most likely skip due to problems. Please signoff, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [WARNING] ntrack 1:14-1 causes 100% CPU in KDE
by Andrea Scarpino 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi, the recent update of ntrack in [testing] causes kded to use 100% of CPU. Florian patched ntrack with the upstream proposed patch, but this doesn't seem to be enough to fix the issue. The package has been removed from [testing], please downgrade manually. Our bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23612 Upstream report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntrack/+bug/750554 Thanks -- Andrea

[arch-dev-public] ypbind-mt with NetworkManager support in [testing]
by Tom Gundersen 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi guys, I just updated ypbind-mt to add NetworkManager support and put it in [testing], just in case it causes problems. I'll leave it in there for a while and move it to [extra] if there are no complaints. The change adds a dependency on dbus-glib, and a makedepends on NetworkManager. With NetworkManager support ypbind can now deal gracefully with the network connection coming and going, whereas before it expected the network connection to be set up before ypbind was started. Give me a shout if you notice any issues. Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libtool-2.4-5
by Allan McRae 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

This splits the libtool package into libltdl and libtool. Most packages that depended on libtool probably only need to depend on libltdl. This will allow people to not install libtool and thus gcc on their systems (FS#25516). Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] glibc-2.14-6
by Allan McRae 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

Time for a nice bug fix release... Changes: - new upstream snapshot from 2.14 branch - actually fix DNS assertion issues instead of just reverting stuff - fix an old dlcose issue (e.g. FS#25459) The last patch has an interesting history including being committed and then removed to glibc trunk without explanation... but essentially all distros use it so I am happy including it. Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] util-linux-2.20-2
by Tom Gundersen 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Hi guys, There were a few minor bugs in util-linux release, and since kernel.org has been down it has taken longer than normal to get the fixes out. We now have a new package though, and it should fix all the known problems. The commits I added after the release are: write: fix path for freopen() agetty: double equals sign typo in opentty() dmesg: remove extra space only after time stamp dmesg: fix for non-CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME kernels (Thomas suggested I add a fifth patch, but it is not yet on master, and it was just about removing a superfluous translation, so I'll leave it out). Please test and signoff. Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] coreutils-8.13-1
by Allan McRae 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Upstream update. Signoff both, Allan ================================================================== NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 8.13 (2011-09-08) [stable] ** Bug fixes chown and chgrp with the -v --from= options, now output the correct owner. I.E. for skipped files, the original ownership is output, not the new one. [bug introduced in sh-utils-2.0g] cp -r could mistakenly change the permissions of an existing destination directory. [bug introduced in coreutils-6.8] cp -u -p would fail to preserve one hard link for each up-to-date copy of a src-hard-linked name in the destination tree. I.e., if s/a and s/b are hard-linked and dst/s/a is up to date, "cp -up s dst" would copy s/b to dst/s/b rather than simply linking dst/s/b to dst/s/a. [This bug appears to have been present in "the beginning".] fts-using tools (rm, du, chmod, chgrp, chown, chcon) no longer use memory proportional to the number of entries in each directory they process. Before, rm -rf 4-million-entry-directory would consume about 1GiB of memory. Now, it uses less than 30MB, no matter how many entries there are. [this bug was inherent in the use of fts: thus, for rm the bug was introduced in coreutils-8.0. The prior implementation of rm did not use as much memory. du, chmod, chgrp and chown started using fts in 6.0. chcon was added in coreutils-6.9.91 with fts support. ] pr -T no longer ignores a specified LAST_PAGE to stop at. [bug introduced in textutils-1.19q] printf '%d' '"' no longer accesses out-of-bounds memory in the diagnostic. [bug introduced in sh-utils-1.16] split --number l/... no longer creates extraneous files in certain cases. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.8] timeout now sends signals to commands that create their own process group. timeout is no longer confused when starting off with a child process. [bugs introduced in coreutils-7.0] unexpand -a now aligns correctly when there are spaces spanning a tabstop, followed by a tab. In that case a space was dropped, causing misalignment. We also now ensure that a space never precedes a tab. [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0] ** Changes in behavior chmod, chown and chgrp now output the original attributes in messages, when -v or -c specified. cp -au (where --preserve=links is implicit) may now replace newer files in the destination, to mirror hard links from the source. ** New features date now accepts ISO 8601 date-time strings with "T" as the separator. It has long parsed dates like "2004-02-29 16:21:42" with a space between the date and time strings. Now it also parses "2004-02-29T16:21:42" and fractional-second and time-zone-annotated variants like "2004-02-29T16:21:42.333-07:00" md5sum accepts the new --strict option. With --check, it makes the tool exit non-zero for any invalid input line, rather than just warning. This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum. split accepts a new --filter=CMD option. With it, split filters output through CMD. CMD may use the $FILE environment variable, which is set to the nominal output file name for each invocation of CMD. For example, to split a file into 3 approximately equal parts, which are then compressed: split -n3 --filter='xz > $FILE.xz' big Note the use of single quotes, not double quotes. That creates files named xaa.xz, xab.xz and xac.xz. timeout accepts a new --foreground option, to support commands not started directly from a shell prompt, where the command is interactive or needs to receive signals initiated from the terminal. ** Improvements cp -p now copies trivial NSFv4 ACLs on Solaris 10. Before, it would mistakenly apply a non-trivial ACL to the destination file. cp and ls now support HP-UX 11.11's ACLs, thanks to improved support in gnulib. df now supports disk partitions larger than 4 TiB on MacOS X 10.5 or newer and on AIX 5.2 or newer. join --check-order now prints "join: FILE:LINE_NUMBER: bad_line" for an unsorted input, rather than e.g., "join: file 1 is not in sorted order". shuf outputs small subsets of large permutations much more efficiently. For example `shuf -i1-$((2**32-1)) -n2` no longer exhausts memory. stat -f now recognizes the GPFS, MQUEUE and PSTOREFS file system types. timeout now supports sub-second timeouts. ** Build-related Changes inherited from gnulib address a build failure on HP-UX 11.11 when using /opt/ansic/bin/cc. Numerous portability and build improvements inherited via gnulib.
