[arch-dev-public] removing load-modules.sh from udev
by Tom Gundersen 28 May '11

28 May '11

Hi guys, I have recently been removing Arch specific stuff from our udev package with the aim of getting it as close to upstream as possible. This work is mostly done, except for one major last hurdle: load-modules.sh. udev (and related packages) have improved a lot since load-modules.sh was first introduced, and in fact load-modules.sh has been through many iterations to reflect this. As things stand now, all the use-cases of load-modules.sh is covered by modprobe. The only difference being a different syntax. After many discussions with Thomas we therefore decided it is time to get rid of load-modules.sh. I'll outline what this will entail: --- rc.conf - MOD_AUTOLOAD: this will no longer have any effect, auto-loading of modules is always enabled. If you really want to use udev without auto-loading any modules, then a custom udev rule would probably be the way to go. I imagine no one would have this usecase, but if someone do, I'd be happy to hack up some udev rules for them. --- rc.conf - MODULES(!mod1, !mod2): blacklisting modules in the modules array will no longer have any effect. modprobe already provides two different ways of preventing modules from being loaded, so this is just a matter of updating some configuration files. To blacklist modules, add a new .conf file to /etc/modprobe.d/ with the contents blacklist mod1 blacklist mod2 This means that mod1 and mod2 are never inserted by udev, but you can still modprobe them manually, and they can still be pulled in as dependencies of other modules (via udev or otherwise). This is what you want in most scenarios. If you want to avoid a module from being inserted altogether use the syntax install mod1 /bin/false install mod2 /bin/false instead. However, this is not really encouraged, so should only be used as a short-term workaround to a broken module. --- /proc/cmdline - disablemodule=mod1,mod2 This syntax will no longer work. However, it might be useful to prevent modules from loading in an emergency (an update that installed broken modules might prevent your system from booting). In this case, replace it with "mod1.disable=1 mod2.disable=2", this will have the same effect as the "install /bin/false" syntax. I submitted a patch upstream, so that in a future release of module-init-tools, we will also have "modprobe.blacklist=mod1,mod2" which will give the same functionality as the "blacklist" syntax. In the coming week I'll move a new udev package to testing that implements this change, and I'll leave it there for quite some time to catch any problems. I will also post a detailed announcement before moving it to core. Please let me know of any concerns. Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] udev rule files in /etc/udev/rules.d, usage of SYSFS
by Thomas Bächler 28 May '11

28 May '11

I just got flooded with this message: 'SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hso-udev.rules' And I remembered there are 2 things to fix. 1) Move all udev rule files provided by us to /lib/udev/rules.d (/etc/udev/rules.d is for the user only) community/multipath-tools (0.4.9-4) : /etc/udev/rules.d/kpartx.rules community/multipath-tools (0.4.9-4) : /etc/udev/rules.d/multipath.rules community/ozerocdoff (2-3) : /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hso-udev.rules community/sysprof (1.1.6-1) : /etc/udev/rules.d/60-sysprof.rules extra/laptop-mode-tools (1.57-2) : /etc/udev/rules.d/99-laptop-mode.rules extra/v4l-utils (0.8.3-1) : /etc/udev/rules.d/70-infrared.rules (The last one is probably my fault) 2) Remove the long deprecated SYSFS from all rule files (I didn't check all packages here, but ozerocdoff is definitely one case)

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-171-1
by Tom Gundersen 27 May '11

27 May '11

Hi guys, udev-171 is now out and moved to testing. udev-170 stayed in testing for one week, and my removal of some of our custom rules revealed an upstream bug. This has now been fixed upstream, so 171 should be ready to move to core. Please test and signoff. Cheers, Tom ***** Upstream changes since udev-168: udev 171 ======== Bugfixes. The systemd service files require systemd version 28. The systemd socket activation make it possible now to start 'udevd' and 'udevadm trigger' in parallel. udev 170 ======== Fix bug in control message handling, which can lead to a failing udevadm control --exit. Thanks to Jürg Billeter for help tracking it down. udev 169 ======== Bugfixes. We require at least Linux kernel 2.6.32 now. Some platforms might require a later kernel that supports accept4() and similar, or need to backport the trivial syscall wiring to the older kernels. The hid2hci tool moved to the bluez package and was removed. Many of the extras can be --enable/--disabled at ./configure time. The --disable-extras option was removed. Some extras have been disabled by default. The current options and their defaults can be checked with './configure --help'. ***** Packaging changes (unchanged since udev-169): * we no longer disable error logging. This can be done manually if needed, but the lack of error messages makes finding errors harder. Besides, if the messages are truly unnecessary it should be reported upstream. * we no longer maintain our own custom cd symlinks. This change is just to get closer to upstream, and it does not lose significant functionality (also, the custom script is likely to bitrot). * we longer autoload oss emulation modules. This can be added to MODULES in rc.conf if needed, but is not needed by most people and causes problems for some, so don't do i by default. In the future we will not load any modules by default except for what is done upstream. This seemed the most obvious, so changed it first. * we no longer provide persistent net/cd autogeneration rules. This is deprecated upstream and should be done as explained on the arch wiki.

Hi DEVs TUs, Perl 5.14.0 hits [staging] today, so, a rebuild is needed for compatibility with 5.14.0. A TODO list is created on [1] The changes that I've made on the package are: * perl 5.14.0 * Removed patch for h2ph warning from 5.12.3 * Removed provides array, you can use `corelist -v 5.14.0` to know the modules included with the perl core, through Module::CoreList (thx j3nnn1 for the tip) Let's start the rebuild!

[arch-dev-public] KDE 4.7beta1 in [kde-unstable]
by Andrea Scarpino 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hi all, the first beta of the new major release of KDE 4.7 is out and is already packaged in [kde-unstable]. As you already know KDE is (slowly) moving to GIT; with this transition some KDE module has been splitted into subprojects, others modules will be splitted during this beta cycle and others modules will be splitted before KDE 4.8. The result of this is that some package (e.g. kdegraphics-libs) is now splitted in several packages and each conflicts with the old, so you have to remove it when pacman asks for its removal during the update. See the KDE announcement[1] for upstream changes. Arch Linux Changes: - kdegraphics-libs is now splitted in: kdegraphics-ksaneplugin, kdegraphics- strigi-analyzer, kdegraphics-svgpart, kdegraphics-thumbnailers, libkdcraw, libkexiv2, libkipi, libksane - kdebindings-csharp is now splitted in: kdebindings-qyoto, kdebindings-kimono - kdebindings-ruby is now splitted in: kdebindings-qtruby, kdebindings- korundum - kdebindings-smoke is now splitted in: kdebindings-smokegen, kdebindings- smokeqt, kdebindings-smokekde - New packages: kdebindings-kimono, kdebindings-korundum, kdebindings-perlkde, kdebindings-perlqt, kdebindings-qtruby, kdebindings-qyoto, kdebindings- smokegen, kdebindings-smokekde, kdebindings-smokeqt, kdebase-konq-plugins, kde-wallpapers, libkface, libkmap - kdeedu-libkdeedu and kdeedu-data are both replaced by libkdeedu - kdeaccessibility-colorschemes is replaced by kdeartwork-colorschemes - kdeaccessibility-iconthemes is replaced by kdeartwork-iconthemes The following packages depend on kdegraphics-libs and thus are now broken: - digikam (now depends on 'libkexiv2') - kipi-plugins (now depends on 'libkexiv2' 'libkdcraw' 'libkipi' 'libksane') - koffice-krita (now depends on 'libkdcraw') - skanlite (now depends on 'libksane') - tellico (now depends on 'libksane') - kphotoalbum (now depends on 'libkdcraw' 'libkipi') Read the wiki page[2] about [kde-unstable] if you want to use these packages, please remember [testing] is needed and follow arch-dev-public. I started a new thread about KDE 4.7 here[3]. Also, the first beta of the Calligra Suite is in [kde-unstable] since May 19th and packages are built to replace the KOffice suite. Please use the thread[4] about Calligra to report packaging bugs. Please report any packaging bug to https://bugs.archlinux.org. KDE bugs to https://bugs.kde.org.
