[arch-dev-public] [signoff] coreutils-8.12-2, initscripts-2011.06.3-1, net-tools-1.60-16, udev-171-2, yp-tools-2.12-2, ypbind-mt-1.33-2, iproute2-2.6.38-3

A few minor issues cropped up, so we needed to update two more packages - ypbind-mt: moved the nisdomainname config file here from net-tools, and fix the rc script; and - iproute2: move /usr/bin/ip to /bin/ip, and add a symlink so old packages will still work. Please test and signoff everything (or the subset of the packages that you use at least).

[arch-dev-public] python2 2.7.2rc1 for testing
by Stéphane Gaudreault 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

I uploaded a preliminary packages for python 2.7.2rc1 in http://dev.archlinux.org/~stephane/python2.7.2rc1 I would appreciate to know if this break anything. In theory, 2.7.2 is only a minor/bug fixes release and there should not need for a rebuild, but I know from past experience that upstream devs can break ABI compatibilty without changing the soname. Final version should be released by the end of the week. Cheers, Stéphane

[arch-dev-public] Status of kernel 2.6.39?
by Tobias Powalowski 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hi guys, I bumped it to the latest kernel version, What is missing for signoff the .39 series: - Still no aufs2 support Can we finally drop it? What's the status of latest archiso scripts? archboot is not affected by this. - lirc does not compile, anyone who uses lirc might take a look at it We have no maintainer listed, this time no commits on their git happened lately to fix compile errors. - intel536/537 modem modules are not compiling anymore I don't have such a device anymore and patching gets more complex, I would suggest to remove it from the repos. I have not motivation anymore to spend work into this old driver thanks for your attention and comments greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] coreutils-8.12-2, initscripts-2011.06.2-1, net-tools-1.60-15, udev-171-2, yp-tools-2.12-2
by Tom Gundersen 08 Jun '11

Hi guys, After the discussion regarding initscripts-2011.06.1 we decided that things would be simpler if we move all the above packages in one go (thanks to Gaetan and Thomas for the help!), so please test and sign off. Below is a summary of changes, I will write a nicer summary for the front page before moving to core. ---- udev ---- As mentioned in several previous emails, we have been working to remove modules-load.sh from udev. This should simplify the package significantly (so it should be easier to submit bugs upstream and we will benefit more easily from any fixes and improvements they do), at least on my machine I also notice a small but significant speedup in boot time (2,5 sec, or about 10%). In this release of udev, modules-load.sh is finally removed. This means that our custom blacklisting of modules no longer works, but this should not be a problem as modprobe has native support for blacklisting. For details see 'man modprobe.conf'. Furthermore, as of the latest modules-init-tools release you can blacklist modules on the kernel command line by using the following syntax: "modprobe.blacklist=mod1,mod2,mod3". Alternatively modules can be disabled by using the syntax "mod1.disable=1". ---- net-tools ---- It is now more than a decade since the last net-tools release, so we no longer want to rely on this package. With these changes it is not installed by default any longer, but can be used by those who prefer to keep the old behavior. In order to do this we did three things: 1) initscripts now defaluts to using iproute2 2) hostname is now provided by coreutils 3) nisdomainname is now provided by yp-tools ---- Initscripts: ---- Big changes: 1) We gain support for iproute2, and net-tools is now optional (thanks to Dave Reisner). If you don't update your rc.conf, everything should work as before (using net-tools), pleas shout if it does not. 2) MOD_AUTOLOAD no longer has any effect (modules are always autoloaded). 3) blacklisting modules in the MODULES array is no longer supported, use modprobe's native blacklisting instead (see 'man modprobe.conf'). An announcement will be made about this before moving to core. 4) We no set domainname at boot. Supporting this was complicated by the move of the binary to yp-tools, and is done in the ypbind rc script instead. Otherwise there are some bugfixes, and quite a bit of improvements made to rc.d. Thanks to all who contributed: Clément Démoulins (1): Add a zsh completion script for the command rc.d. Dave Reisner (3): network/rc.sysinit: remove dead code network: deprecate net-tools, add iproute2 support rc.d: declare ENV as an array Eric Bélanger (1): rc.d: Add error message when daemon script is not found Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi (2): use mount -n for devpts and shm add killall5 omit pid functionality Sebastien Luttringer (8): Add syntax to vim modeline in rc.d script Add TERM var to rc.d cleaned env Improve coloring on light and transparent term Add rc.d bash completion rc.d bash completion detect running daemon rc.d zsh completion detect running daemons rc.d: Remove cd from the loop rc.d: print usage if not enough argument Thomas Bächler (1): Fix typo Tom Gundersen (13): releasing: update instructinos after going through it once makefile: do not make functions executable udev: generate blacklist on boot fixup: also clear /tmp if it is a mountpoint Merge remote-tracking branch 'seblu/master' Revert "udev: generate blacklist on boot" depraction: MOD_AUTOLOAD and MODULES blacklisting net: add examples Merge branch 'snowman' agetty: keep baud rate from kernel if possible fixup: stat_busy/stat_done -> status fixup: network: deprecate net-tools nisdomainname: remove support

I have pushed a new upstream snapshot that fixes a couple of bugs (FS#24407, FS#24496) before getting into the glibc toolchain update in the next couple of days. No testsuite regressions. Signoff both, Allan
