[arch-dev-public] gnome 3.2 in testing
by Ionut Biru 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Hi, take for a spin gnome 3.2 from testing and report any packaging bugs to our tracker. TUs, check your packages and rebuild for eventually soname bumps(e.g evolution-data-server). NVIDIA users be aware that xorg-server 1.11 from testing is incompatible with the current nvidia driver, even with IgnoreABI. You can switch to nouveau or add xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-synaptics xorg-server-common xorg-server to Ignorepkg. -- Ionuț

[arch-dev-public] [prerelease] initscripts-2011.09.2-1
by Tom Gundersen 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Hi guys, I pushed a release candidate of initscripts to [testing]. I'd still like to include some man pages that Seblu is working on, but I'll be busy this weekend and next week, so I thought I'd get some feedback on this as soon as possible, even if it will not be the final release. Look out for: The timeouts for SIGTERM/SIGKILL at shutdown have been increased and the error reporting in case the timeouts are reached is improved. This should hopefully make it simpler to spot any problems with processes not being properly killed before shutdown. Such problems have been reported, but I have not managed to reproduce them. CHANGES ------------- Deprecation: * We'll complain if /usr is on a separate mount point and has not been mounted by the initramfs (mkinitcpio does not yet support this, but there are patches available) Features: * We load fragments from sysctl.d in addition to the sysctl.conf file * rc.d is can now filter the output in a nice way * We pivot into a shutdown ramfs if it exists in /run/initramfs (this is mostly for testing purposes as mkinitcpio still does not support this) Towards read only /etc: * /etc/profile.d/locale.sh is now a static file, rather than being generated on every boot (this means we need to use -f when updating) * /etc/localtime may now be a symlink, and is not written to unless it is necessary. Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] glib2 2.30.0
by Ionut Biru 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hi, Changes and features: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2011-September/msg00116… Please signoff -- In addition to hundreds of bug fixes and enhancements made this cycle, the following major features were added: - GDBus has been improved by the addition of a high-level object manager and code generation facilities that make use of it. See http://davidz25.blogspot.com/2011/09/new-d-bus-features-in-glib-230.html for more information. - GLib has added an extensible TLS database where certificates and keys can be found and used, laying the foundation for integration with smart cards and other key stores. GLib now also supports HMAC hashes (which are used when implementing web technologies like OAuth). - The atomic operations have been expanded to include bit operations (and, or, xor) and so that all operations are supported on pointer-sized operands. The implementation has been made more correct and performant by way of GCC intrinsics and better use of the Interlocked API on Windows. Bitlocks now work on pointer-sized operands. - New API has been added to allow UNIX signals to be dispatched via the mainloop. Additionally, there is a new UNIX-specific API to allow race-free creation of close-on-exec pipes with a fallback on platforms where this is not possible. - GMainContext and GCancellable now use eventfd when available, instead of less efficient pipe pairs. - GApplication now supports non-single-instance applications. -- Ionuț

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] tzdata 2011k-1
by Andreas Radke 26 Sep '11

Upstream update. Please give signoffs. -Andy The files... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2011i.tar.gz ...and... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2011i.tar.gz ...are now available; these reflect the changes circulated in the last two weeks on the time zone mailing list. It's one of the two times of year when we can expect frequent updates as countries change their rules; folks who want to avoid version churn may want to wait on updating. --ado The file... ftp://elsie.nci.nh.gov/pub/tzdata2011j.tar.gz ...is now available; this reflects the changes circulated recently on the times zone mailing list (contemporary changes for Samoa; past changes for Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania); there are also two spelling corrections to comments in the australasia file (with thanks to Christos Zoulas). I expect another version will appear soon to handle changes in the Middle East (and perhaps in Russia); folks seeking to avoid version churn may want to wait a bit. --ado The file... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2011k.tar.gz ...is now available; this reflects changes circulated last week on the time zone mailing list. I plan to send out two requests for information about Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine within a day. --ado

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3-3.7.8-1
by Andreas Radke 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Upstream update. Please sign off. -Andy Changes: SQLite Release 3.7.8 On 2011 September 19 (3.7.8) Orders of magnitude performance improvement for CREATE INDEX on very large tables. Improved the windows VFS to better defend against interference from anti-virus software. Improved query plan optimization when the DISTINCT keyword is present. Allow more system calls to be overridden in the unix VFS - to provide better support for chromium sandboxes. Increase the default size of a lookahead cache line from 100 to 128 bytes. Enhancements to the test_quota.c module so that it can track preexisting files. Bug fix: Virtual tables now handle IS NOT NULL constraints correctly. Bug fixes: Correctly handle nested correlated subqueries used with indices in a WHERE clause. SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2011-09-19 14:49:19 3e0da808d2f5b4d12046e05980ca04578f581177" SHA1 for sqlite3.c: bfcd74a655636b592c5dba6d0d5729c0f8e3b4de
