[arch-dev-public] [signoff] cronie-1.4.7-7
by Gaetan Bisson 03 May '11

03 May '11

Dear all, A new version of cronie is in [testing]. The only difference with the previous one is that it does not have replaces=('dcron') and has conflicts=('cron'). So users who wish to keep using dcron have nothing to do, but cronie will be the default cron daemon on new installs in the future. Please test and signoff. -- Gaetan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] initscripts-2011.04.1-2
by Tom Gundersen 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi guys, A new initscripts package is in testing, please test and signoff. The only change since -1 is that we now have a versioned dependency on udev>=167. I suggest putting a note on the frontpage: **************************** New initscripts removes legacy code, requires up-to-date packages As of initscripts 2011.04.1 we expect all other packages (except for the kernel) to be up-to-date. This in particular includes udev, mdadm, dmraid, lvm. Some highlights from the changelog: * We now let udev deal with mdadm, and no longer call mdadm explicitly * We now strongly discourage the use of HWCLOCK="localtime", as this may lead to several known and unfixable bugs * The adjustment of the hwclock for drift is moved into a daemon that should not be used in most scenarios as it can lead to subtle bugs (especially if using dual-boot or ntp) New features: * a new binary, /sbin/rc, that allows to start/stop and list daemons * support FakeRAID (dmraid) * support btrfs

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mkinitcpio 0.6.11
by Thomas Bächler 03 May '11

03 May '11

Version 0.6.10 was busted, this time everything should be fine (finally). Thomas Bächler (2): Rewrite parse_cmdline (again) Release version 0.6.11 There is a problem: The new filesystem package was moved to core and creates /run, but /run is not usable as it is not a world-writable tmpfs. We need this and the new initscripts (which should be released soon) in core quickly. Moving mkinitcpio only should suffice for now. Please sign off quickly. This is a copy of the last announcement: Fixes: - FS#23467 - FS#22080 - FS#13900 - FS#23622 It also introduces /run. Please sign off. Shortlog: Thomas Bächler (6): Fix broken command line parsing due to insufficient quoting introduced in 42e8dba5dce4879e4a372c5c2fb5446b4e8bb16c. init: Unify/improve mount --move handling Introduce /run Allow initramfs to be completely silent: Fix problems in parsing the kernel command line Release mkinitcpio 0.6.10
