by Ángel Velásquez 26 May '11

26 May '11

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.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sudo 1.8.1p2
by Eric Bélanger 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hi, sudo 1.8.1p2 is in testing for an upstream update. Major changes between version 1.8.1p2 and 1.8.1p1: Two-character CIDR-style IPv4 netmasks are now matched correctly in the sudoers file. A build error with MIT Kerberos V has been resolved. A crash on HP-UX in the sudoers plugin when wildcards are present in the sudoers file has been resolved. Sudo now works correctly on Tru64 Unix again.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] xz 5.0.3-1
by Pierre Schmitz 22 May '11

22 May '11

Hi all, here is a minor update for xz. Please sign off. Changelog: 5.0.3 (2011-05-21) * liblzma fixes: - A memory leak was fixed. - lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates an empty .xz Block if encoding an empty buffer. Such an empty Block with LZMA2 data would trigger a bug in 5.0.1 and older (see the first bullet point in 5.0.2 notes). When releasing 5.0.2, I thought that no encoder creates this kind of files but I was wrong. - Validate function arguments better in a few functions. Most importantly, specifying an unsupported integrity check to lzma_stream_buffer_encode() no longer creates a corrupt .xz file. Probably no application tries to do that, so this shouldn't be a big problem in practice. - Document that lzma_block_buffer_encode(), lzma_easy_buffer_encode(), lzma_stream_encoder(), and lzma_stream_buffer_encode() may return LZMA_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK. - The return values of the _memusage() functions are now documented better. * Fix command name detection in xzgrep. xzegrep and xzfgrep now correctly use egrep and fgrep instead of grep. * French translation was added. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3 - 3.7.6.3-1
by Andreas Radke 22 May '11

22 May '11

Minor upstream release. Please give signoffs. -Andy 2011-May-19 - Version 3.7.6.3 SQLite version 3.7.6.3 is a patch release that fixes a single bug associated with WAL mode. The bug has been in SQLite ever since WAL was added, but the problem is very obscure and so nobody has noticed before now. Nevertheless, all users are encouraged to upgrade to version 3.7.6.3 or later. The bug is this: If the cache_size is set very small (less than 10) and SQLite comes under memory pressure and if a multi-statement transaction is started in which the last statement prior to COMMIT is a SELECT statement and if a checkpoint occurs right after the transaction commit, then it might happen that the transaction will be silently rolled back instead of being committed. The default setting for cache_size is 2000. So in most situations, this bug will never appear. But sometimes programmers set cache_size to very small values on gadgets and other low-memory devices in order to save memory space. Such applications are vulnerable. Note that this bug does not cause database corruption. It is as if ROLLBACK were being run instead of COMMIT in some cases. Bug Details Transactions commit in WAL mode by adding a record onto the end of the WAL (the write-ahead log) that contains a "commit" flag. So to commit a transaction, SQLite takes all the pages that have changed during that transaction, appends them to the WAL, and sets the commit flag on the last page. Now, if SQLite comes under memory pressure, it might try to free up memory space by writing changed pages to the WAL prior to the commit. We call this "spilling" the cache to WAL. There is nothing wrong with spilling cache to WAL. But if the memory pressure is severe, it might be that by the time COMMIT is run, all changed pages for the transaction have already been spilled to WAL and there are no pages left to be written to WAL. And with no unwritten pages, there was nothing to put the commit flag on. And without a commit flag, the transaction would end up being rolled back. The fix to this problem was that if all changed pages has already been written to the WAL when the commit was started, then page 1 of the database will be written to the WAL again, so that there will always be a page available on which to set the commit flag. 2011-April-17 - Version 3.7.6.2 SQLite version 3.7.6.2 adds a one-line bug fix to 3.7.6.1 that enables pthreads to work correctly on NetBSD. The problem was a faulty function signature for the open system call. The problem does not appear to have any adverse impact on any system other than NetBSD. Upgrading from version 3.7.6.1 is only needed on NetBSD.
