[arch-dev-public] Pacman 4.0.0 RC1 "release"
by Dan McGee 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

For the daring, pick your poison (by architecture): * pacman -U http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-4.0.0rc1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz * pacman -U http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-4.0.0rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz Allan, Dave, and I (and probably a few others) run pacman-git on most of our systems with no problems, so their should be no real shockers or problems if you give this a spin. There are no database upgrades or changes this time so downgrading later should work fine if truly necessary. What we're looking for feedback on: * any build failures in makepkg you may see * if you manage a custom repo, how does repo-add work for you * does pacman behave as it did before * if you want to sign packages, does the functionality in makepkg and the documentation make sense * same for signing repos- does it work for you What we know isn't there yet: * translations * a developer keyring (or keyring package)- if you delve into this, you will need to look at pacman-key for now * great error messages on verification failure, or ability to import keys on the fly if it is unknown Note that we'd love testing even if you don't plan on touching any of the new signing stuff- there were 500+ commits worth of changes in this release, including a switch to curl as the download library, so anything out of the ordinary should be reported. Please choose -git as the version in the bugtracker if you do it that way, otherwise email pacman-dev. Happy testing! -Dan

[arch-dev-public] Git for the repos
by Florian Pritz 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

So it came up in IRC again and I'll try to sum up the discussion: SVN checkouts tend to break, some people only use it for our repos and not anywhere else, it's slow. We agreed on one git repo per package because you can't do partial checkouts in git and you hardly need the history of all packages anyway. To keep track of released packages, dbscripts maintains it's own (git?) meta database which contains only the package version and pacman repo of the package. The version corresponds to a tag in the package's git repo. We can't use tags like "testing-i686" because you can't reuse tags in git. I'd like to hear some comments about this. -- Florian Pritz

Re: [arch-dev-public] [prerelease] util-linux-2.20-rc2
by Tom Gundersen 23 Aug '11

Hi guys, I put up the next prerelease of util-linux in case someone wants to play around: <https://dev.archlinux.org/~tomegun/util-linux-2.20rc2-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz> <https://dev.archlinux.org/~tomegun/util-linux-2.20rc2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz> Same warnings apply as to rc1: - mountpoint will conflict with sysvinit (I'll propose moving this from sysvinit to util-linux when we have a final release); and - libmount is enabled even though it will probably not be in the final version.

[arch-dev-public] PHP 5.3.7 and Arch Linux
by Pierre Schmitz 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi all, as it is all over the press now that one should not update to PHP 5.3.7 due to a crypt/md5 bug* I feel the need to advice every Arch user to update to PHP 5.3.7-3 and not to keep 5.3.6. That version has the simple patch applied while 5.3.6 has known security issues. I expect 5.3.8 to be announced today though; but who knows? :-) Greetings, Pierre *) https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55439 -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] Archweb login cookies are now secure-only
by Dan McGee 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

I switched cookies in the developer interface to be secure-only as of this morning. This means you won't see any of the developer stuff if you are viewing the site over plain HTTP once your existing cookie expires. You will be redirected to HTTPS if you are required to log in, but devs/TUs may not see the links they are used to if you are not viewing over a secure connection. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] isl-0.07-1, cloog-0.16.3-1, gcc-4.6.1-4
by Allan McRae 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

This is going to hit [testing] as soon as gcc-multilib gets a rebuild so the signoff thread is slightly early... isl-0.07-1 - upstream update, soname bump cloog-0.16.3-1 - upstream compatibility update for isl bump - has its own soname bump... gcc-4.6.1-4 - new upstream snapshot from 4.6 branch (there are some nice bug fixes on the way to the 4.6.2 release) - libstdc++ man page update - disable libssp building - it is not needed on glibc systems The only other package requiring rebuild for the isl/cloog soname bumps is gcc-multilib. @heftig: I am leaving that to you. Can you move isl/cloog/gcc from [staging] to [testing] once you are done? The only package require rebuilt for removing libssp is avahi and I have put that in [testing] now. Allan
