[arch-dev-public] Minimal kernel version
by Tom Gundersen 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi guys, As far as I understand the minimal kernel version we support is 2.6.27. This is at least due to glibc and udev. I thought it would be worth noting that as of its next release udev will require kernel version 2.6.32: <http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=67a77c8bf299f626…>. Maybe this could be an opportunity to raise the requirement across the board, and also to make a news item about this? Cheers, Tom

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] syslog-ng-3.2.4-1
by Eric Bélanger 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi, syslog-ng-3.2.4-1 is in testing. Changes: - Upstream update - Added reload option to daemon script (implement FS#23838). This is for "Reloading Syslog-NG configuration and re-opening log files" without having to stop the daemon. - Added checkconfig function to daemon script to check syntax of config file. This uses 'syslog-ng -s'. If the config file has a syntax error, the daemon script aborts and syslog-ng is not started or reloaded. Please test and signoff. Eric

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] dnsutils-9.8.0.P1-1
by Gaetan Bisson 07 May '11

07 May '11

Dear all, Upstream released a small security fix to BIND related to the new Response Policy Zones (RPZ) feature. See: http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.8.0-P1/RELEASE-NOTES-BIND-9.8.0-P1.html Although this does no affect dnsutils, I updated it to that new version (and also put the new bind in [testing] for a few days). Please test and signoff. -- Gaetan

[arch-dev-public] Adding hardening compiler/linker flags
by Allan McRae 05 May '11

05 May '11

There have been requests for some hardening of our default CFLAGS/LDFLAGS (e.g. FS#18864). I believe this was discussed on this list previously and there were no real objections. So actually doing this has been on the table for some time but has been delayed by a combination of lack of time on my behalf and inconvenient timing with toolchain updates. I think now would be a good time to look at doing this. The plan is to add "-fstack-protector-all -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 --param=ssp-buffer-size=4" to our C{XX}FLAGS and "-Wl,-z,relro" to our LDFLAGS. We could also add "-Wl,-O1" and maybe "-Wl,--sort-common" to our LDFLAGS at the same time for some optimisation. I am taking the approach of adding C/CXX/LDFLAGS rather than the patching the default compiler options approach most other distros use as it is more consistent with our patching policy and will reduce my maintenance burden. It also make it easier to disable an option if necessary by just changing their values. The disadvantage being that we have to make sure software listens to our CFLAGS values... What I do not intend to add: -Wl,-z,now - has a performance hit (mainly for large programs?). -fPIE -pie - large performance hit (5-10%) on i686, almost none on x86_64 These should be enabled for individual programs as the maintainer sees fit. PIE stuff is also more difficult and would probably require patching of the gcc specs file to start dealing with properly and would still lead to a bunch of issues. So that is something that I may look at in the distant future for x86_64 only. So the plan is.... 1) Finalise the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS 2) I get the toolchain built and working with these 3) I upload a pacman package with the changed makepkg.conf 4) Consider a [core] rebuild ??? Starting with #1. Are there any comments on the proposed CFLAGS/LDFLAGS or any further additions that people think might be of use at the same time. Allan
