[arch-dev-public] News draft for dropping tcp_wrappers
by Dan McGee 16 Jul '11

16 Jul '11

Dropping tcp_wrappers support Due to upstream not having released a new version since April 1997, we are dropping `tcp_wrappers` support from all packages and removing the package from `[core]`. In addition, newer daemons and applications are inconsistent in their support for libwrap, leading to confusion as to whether an application supports the library. If you currently use `/etc/hosts.allow` or `/etc/hosts.deny` for security or logging purposes, you will need to adjust accordingly and use another tool such as `iptables`.

[arch-dev-public] Replacing FAM with native inotify or gamin?
by Jan de Groot 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Looking at our fam package, I see pkgrel=15, 4 patches and no upstream development. One of these patches even implements the use of DNotify, which is a limited deprecated kernel API also. I would suggest to drop FAM support where inotify is available. This means that samba and gnome-vfs should drop FAM support. For other uses, like courier-imap that uses fam/gamin for IMAP IDLE support, I would suggest replacing fam with gamin. Snd seems to use fam for file information updates, so if we want to keep this functionality, it should depend on gamin also. Deprecating fam like this means we'll lose one functionality: remote monitoring of files on NFS shares. This is the main reason why I have always objected against replacing fam with gamin. Gamin emulates this behaviour by using polling. Inotify doesn't support it AFAIK. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because at this moment FAM is only a dependency of very few remaining packages. For each of these packages, I doubt NFS fam support is a critical feature: - samba: I see no reason to export NFS shares trough samba on a different box - gnome-vfs: deprecated by itself. We don't ship fam support in GIO either, never done it, so nobody uses it on a desktop - courier-imap: serving mail from NFS has always been discouraged

[arch-dev-public] Install messages
by Dan McGee 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

I'm counting on Gmail to wrap these messages the same way they looked in my console- they look like junk when you don't keep them to 80 characters/line. Yes, people still use terminals that wide, as most of the time they are opened to that width by default. As a general guideline, can we try to keep them to 80 characters/line please? 85 is just silly when it would be easy to trim it down a few words or rewrap the lines correctly. -Dan ATTENTION UDEV: ---------- Support for non-devtmpfs self-compiled kernels have been moved to udev-compat. -- Blacklisting of framebuffer devices has moved from /etc/modprobe.d to /lib/modprobe.d Any customizations shoud be done to the file in /etc, as it takes precedence. -- kbd and rtc devices are no longer world readable. -- rtc is no longer in the audio group and fb devices are no longer in the video group (permissions and ownership of fb devices are controlled by X). ---------------

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] netcfg 2.6.4-1
by Rémy Oudompheng 14 Jul '11

14 Jul '11

Hello, I have just released netcfg 2.6.4. As I think the amount of outstanding bugs inside is pretty negligible, I suggest starting a signoff thread for inclusion into [core]. Then I will start working on including pending new features for 2.7 release. Highlights of netcfg 2.6.4 are a shining new netcfg-profiles(5) man page, that gathers the (previously non-existent ethernet(5) and wireless(5) man pages). - The netcfg(8) man pages has been translated back to markdown/pandoc syntx for easier updates. - The netcfg-profiles(5) man page documents many options of the various available connection types, and should complement the provided examples. It should plug the usual criticism about netcfg's documentation being very hard to find. It is expected that the 2.6.4 release is the final one in the 2.6.x series. This release works for me in standard ethernet and WPA modes, using DHCP, so I sign it off. -- Rémy.

This fixes issues with detection of zip files with "file" and "file -i" (FS#24571). Uses an upstream patch which reverts the previous upstream patch we were applying and actually fixes the issue this time... Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] dropping tcp_wrapper support
by Dave Reisner 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

I'd like to pick up something Dan proposed about a year ago, which is dropping support for tcp_wrappers. Its last official upstream release was 1997, and we currently add 10 patches to it from 3 different distros in order to make it compile, fix bugs, and add features (ipv6). We also add in an odd default of ALL: ALL in the config file, meaning that the first thing most people do on a new arch system is add a line to /etc/hosts.allow along the lines of 'sshd: ALL' (or just delete the blanket deny. To my knowledge, there isn't anything tcp_wrappers does that iptables can't do more eloquently, and without the need to be linked against an external library. Therefore, I'd like to propose that we just dump this. The rebuild list would be small, at 20 packages: archboot dante esound exim gdm inetutils libmysqlclient mailutils net-snmp nfs-utils openldap openssh quota-tools rrdtool socat stunnel syslog-ng tftp-hpa vsftpd xinetd Is there any pressing reason to hang onto this aging library? Regards, Dave
