Hi guys, please signoff 3.0 series for both arches. Upstream changes: http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges Archlinux Changes: - Rename the package kernel26 -> linux - Added replaces everywhere - Removed old comments and vercmps from .install file - Removed old comments and replaces from PKGBUILD - added compatibility symlinks for vmlinuz26 and initramfs filenames in PKGBUILD, in order to not break bootloader entries. - removed System.map file, not needed anymore we provide /proc/kallsyms Now stuff to discuss before uploading to testing: - kernel name: vmlinuz-linux - initramfs name: initramfs-linux.img same for fallback of course. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] adding a simple hostname binary to base (Was: [signoff] coreutils-8.12-3 initscripts-2011.06.4 net-tools-1.60-18)
by Tom Gundersen 02 Aug '11

Hi guys, Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I think the context is relevant. On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 3:05 AM, Gaetan Bisson <bisson(a)archlinux.org> wrote: > This upgrade intends to fix the regression of coreutils' hostname not > being as featureful as net-tools'. > > Changes: > - coreutils: revert to not building hostname > - net-tools: revert to building hostname and dnsdomainname At the moment we do not install net-tools as part of base, but some tools rely on hostname being present. I think it's presence is actually part of FHS ("hostname: Utility to show or set the system's host name"), so a reasonable assumption I suppose. To avoid having to install net-tools (or any binaries from it). I thought this might be a good compromise: Split out "coreutils-hostname" from coreutils. This new package should conflicts=(net-tools) and be added to base. Also, net-tools should be rebuilt to add provides=(coreutils-hostname). An important point is that we then will only get a very basic hostname utility which only does the minimum required to satisfy FHS (set/get hostname). If anything more "fancy" is needed such as "hostname -f" the legacy net-tools should be installed. Thoughts, Tom

[arch-dev-public] blacklisting issue, perhaps initscripts or kernel 3.0 related
by Tobias Powalowski 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hi guys, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25308 If I blacklist a module in modprobe.d directory and add it to MODULES= array in rc.conf the module is not loaded anymore. Is there a reason that this is not working anymore? Thanks for your help greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-173-1
by Tom Gundersen 31 Jul '11

Hi guys, New udev release just out. We had the previous one in testing for a long time without pushing it to [core] as it was believed this one was imminent. Nothing earth-shattering in this release. udev-acl is now disabled by default, but we enable it as we still support systemd-less systems. It should be noted that also this release contains a fix for a bug found by some of our valiant testers. Please test and sign-off. Upstream release notes: udev 173 ======== Bugfixes. The udev-acl extra is no longer enabled by default. To enable it, --enable-udev_acl needs to be given at ./configure time. On systemd systems, the udev-acl rules prevent it from running as the functionality has moved to systemd. udev 172 ======== Bugfixes. Udev now enables kernel media-presence polling if available. Part of udisks optical drive tray-handling moved to cdrom_id: The tray is locked as soon as a media is detected to enable the receiving of media-eject-request events. Media-eject-request events will eject the media. Libudev enumerate is now able to enumerate a subtree of a given device. The mobile-action-modeswitch modeswitch tool was deleted. The functionality is provided by usb_modeswitch now.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] netcfg 2.6.6-1
by Rémy Oudompheng 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Hello, I have prepared the netcfg 2.6.6 release. I have let go the previous signoff thread because of several outstanding issues, which I think are now resolved. NEWS except ----------- version 2.6.6 - fix wrong rc scripts names in suspend hook (FS#20330) - fix wireless failure when using wpa-config and a custom ctrl_interface path (FS#24949) - bash-completion: add -r to option list (FS#25188) Regards, Rémy.

[arch-dev-public] [prerelease] util-linux-2.20-rc1
by Tom Gundersen 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Hi guys, A new and very exciting release of util-linux is imminent. Even though we only have an -rc1 so far, I thought it might be worthwhile to put it out there so people can try it out (in case we want anything fixed before the final release): <https://dev.archlinux.org/~tomegun/util-linux-2.20rc1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz> <https://dev.archlinux.org/~tomegun/util-linux-2.20rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz> I enabled libmount support in mount, but this will probably be reverted before the final release unless we have good reason to believe it to be safe. Major changes: - agetty gets most of the features from mingetty. - dmesg gets lots of new filtering capabilities - mountpoint moves here from sysvinit (we probably have to manually remove it from the sysvinit package). We still patch hwclock to move the adjustment file from /etc to /var. I'm not a big fan of this, and hope to have a backwards compatible patch to sort things out before 2.21 is released. Cheers, Tom Util-linux 2.20 Release Notes ============================= Release highlights ------------------ agetty(8): - mingetty features have been merged to agetty chrt(1), taskset(1): - supports new command line option "--all-tasks" to set or retrieve the scheduling attributes of all the tasks (threads) for a given PID dmesg(1): - supports new command line options: --clear, --console-on, --console-off, --ctime, --decode, --facility=<list>, --level=<list>, --show-delta, --notime, --kernel and --userspace fdisk(8): - improved dialogs to be more user-friendly findmnt(8), partx(8), lsblk(8) - support new command line option "--pairs" to enable key="value" output format findmnt(8): - supports new command line options "--poll" and "--timeout" to monitor /proc/self/mountinfo changes ionice(1): - supports human-readable scheduling class names, for example: ionice -c best-effort $PID kill(1): - supports new command line option "-q <sigval>" to use sigqueue(2) - supports real-time signals in formats RT<n>, RTMIN+<n> and RTMAX-<n> libmount: - the API officially stable lsblk(8): - supports new columns: TYPE - device type RQ-SIZE - queue request size STATE - device state (e.g. running, suspended) DALIGN - discard alignment offset DISC-GRAN - discard granularity DISC-MAX - discard max bytes DISC-ZERO - discard zeroes data - supports new command line option "-D" to print device discard topology lscpu(8): - improved support for s390 boxes mkfs.minix: - supports minix version 3 mountpoint(1): - this NEW COMMAND is libmount based re-implementation of mountpoint(1) from sysvinit suite simpleinit: - this set of deprecated utils has been REMOVED Wall(1): - support new command line option "--timeout" to specify write timeout to terminals in seconds. It's not supported to link with external (e.g. from e2fsprogs) libblkid and libuuid any more.
