[arch-dev-public] [signoff] coreutils-8.11-1
by Allan McRae 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Upstream update: NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 8.11 (2011-04-13) [stable] ** Bug fixes cp -a --link would not create a hardlink to a symlink, instead copying the symlink and then not preserving its timestamp. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.0] cp now avoids FIEMAP issues with BTRFS before Linux 2.6.38, which could result in corrupt copies of sparse files. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.10] cut could segfault when invoked with a user-specified output delimiter and an unbounded range like "-f1234567890-". [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3.0] du would infloop when given --files0-from=DIR [bug introduced in coreutils-7.1] sort no longer spawns 7 worker threads to sort 16 lines [bug introduced in coreutils-8.6] touch built on Solaris 9 would segfault when run on Solaris 10 [bug introduced in coreutils-8.8] wc would dereference a NULL pointer upon an early out-of-memory error [bug introduced in coreutils-7.1] ** New features dd now accepts the 'nocache' flag to the iflag and oflag options, which will discard any cache associated with the files, or processed portion thereof. dd now warns that 'iflag=fullblock' should be used, in various cases where partial reads can cause issues. ** Changes in behavior cp now avoids syncing files when possible, when doing a FIEMAP copy. The sync is only needed on Linux kernels before 2.6.39. [The sync was introduced in coreutils-8.10] cp now copies empty extents efficiently, when doing a FIEMAP copy. It no longer reads the zero bytes from the input, and also can efficiently create a hole in the output file when --sparse=always is specified. df now aligns columns consistently, and no longer wraps entries with longer device identifiers, over two lines. install now rejects its long-deprecated --preserve_context option. Use --preserve-context instead. test now accepts "==" as a synonym for "=" Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] less-443-1
by Allan McRae 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Upstream update: Major changes between "less" versions 436 and 443 * Change search behavior such that when a search is given an explicit pattern, the entire displayed screen is included in the search and not just the portion after the target line. * Add -A option to change search behavior to the old way: only the portion of the screen after the target line is searched. * Add %F formatting to prompt strings, replaced by the last component of the input file. * Control-G while editing a command exits the command. * Less now exits with status 2 if control-C is pressed and -K is in effect. * Fix "ungetc overflow" when passing long commands via the -p option. * Fix bug in using line filtering via the & command in combination with -i and -I. * Fix bug in handling negative arguments to the -j option. * Fix bug in handling %t in prompt strings. * Improve handling of long option names. * Improve percentage calculation for very large files. Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-167-1
by Tobias Powalowski 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Hi guys. udev 167 ======== Bugfixes. The udev runtime data moved from /dev/.udev/ to /run/udev/. The /run mountpoint is supposed to be a tmpfs mounted during early boot, available and writable to for all tools at any time during bootup, it replaces /var/run/, which should become a symlink some day. If /run does not exist, or is not writable, udev will fall back using /dev/.udev/. On systemd systems with initramfs and LVM used, packagers must make sure, that the systemd and initramfs versions match. The initramfs needs to create the /run mountpoint for udev to store the data, and mount this tmpfs to /run in the rootfs, so the that the udev database is preserved for the udev version started in the rootfs. The command 'udevadm info --convert-db' is gone. The udev daemon itself, at startup, converts any old database version if necessary. The systemd services files have been reorganized. The udev control socket is bound by systemd and passed to the started udev daemon. The udev-settle.service is no longer active by default. Services which can not handle hotplug setups properly need to actively pull it in, to act like a barrier. Alternatively the settle service can be unconditionally 'systemctl'enabled, and act like a barrier for basic.target. The fstab_import callout is no longer built or installed. Udev should not be used to mount, does not watch changes to fstab, and should not mirror fstab values in the udev database. please signoff both arches, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] man-db 2.6.0.1-1 / libpipeline 1.2.0-1
by Andreas Radke 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

New man-db release requires now external libpipeline. See http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/ Please give signoffs. Funny FS#22866 is not yet fixed. I've sent Colin a reminder. -Andy Changes: an-db 2.6.0.1 (10 April 2011) ============================== Major changes since man-db 2.6.0: Fixes: ------ o Ensure that the target of a symlink or .so chain is always recorded as a real page. o Read a user-specified configuration file even if HOME is unset. man-db 2.6.0 (9 April 2011) =========================== Major changes since man-db 2.5.9: Fixes: ------ o Fix build with versions of GNU ld that default to --no-copy-dt-needed-entries. o Fix failure to display manual pages in some encodings when installed setuid. o Wrap long table cells in man(1), fixing test failures with groff 1.21. o If an explicit section is passed to man, then pages that match that section exactly will be preferred over pages that only have that section as a prefix. o Fix a segfault when 'man -K' tries to display certain pages. o Fix a segfault in some situations when processes are killed by SIGHUP, SIGINT, or SIGTERM. Improvements: ------------- o As promised in the release notes for man-db 2.5.8, man-db no longer ships its own copy of libpipeline (http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/) You must build and install that library separately. o Search the full manpath when expanding .so directives in manual pages. As part of this, '.so name.1' should now work as well as '.so man1/name.1'. o lexgrog handles roff named glyphs and perldoc strings in NAME sections. o man no longer starts a pager if standard output is not a tty. o The -s option to whatis and apropos now takes a colon- or comma-separated list of sections, similar to 'man -S'. o mandb error output is neater when stderr is not a terminal. o Add basic support for the implementation of nroff/troff in the Heirloom Documentation Tools. Title lengths are not properly set as yet, and many features are untested. o mandb removes cat* and NLS subdirectories of cat directories whose corresponding man directories no longer exist. o mandb forces SIGPIPE back to its default disposition on startup, to avoid noisy output in case it was started in a context where SIGPIPE was ignored. o SECTION entries in a user configuration file now override those in the system configuration file, rather than appending to them. o The default less prompt now includes "(press h for help or q to quit)" to help novices find their way around. o man-db may now be built to use Berkeley DB version 5 (--with-db=db5).

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3 - 3.7.6-1
by Andreas Radke 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Upstream update. Please give signoffs. -Andy SQLite Release 3.7.6 On 2011 April 12 (3.7.6) Added the sqlite3_wal_checkpoint_v2() interface and enhanced the wal_checkpoint pragma to support blocking checkpoints. Improvements to the query planner so that it makes better estimates of plan costs and hence does a better job of choosing the right plan, especially when SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT2 is used. Fix a bug which prevented deferred foreign key constraints from being enforced when sqlite3_finalize() was not called by one statement with a failed foreign key constraint prior to another statement with foreign key constraints running. Integer arithmetic operations that would have resulted in overflow are now performed using floating-point instead. Increased the version number on the VFS object to 3 and added new methods xSetSysCall, xGetSysCall, and xNextSysCall used for doing full-coverage testing. Increase the maximum value of SQLITE_MAX_ATTACHED from 30 to 62 (though the default value remains at 10). Enhancements to FTS4: Added the fts4aux table Added support for compressed FTS4 content Enhance the ANALYZE command to support the name of an index as its argument, in order to analyze just that one index. Added the "unix-excl" built-in VFS on unix and unix-like platforms. SQLITE_SOURCE_ID: "2011-04-12 01:58:40 f9d43fa363d54beab6f45db005abac0a7c0c47a7" SHA1 for sqlite3.c: f38df08547efae0ff4343da607b723f588bbd66b A complete list of SQLite releases in a single page is also available. A detailed history of every check-in is available at http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline.

[arch-dev-public] lib32-libglade
by Pierre Schmitz 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi all, is there anyone who wants to maintain this package in [multilib]. It's e.g. needed by the recent Humble Bundle games. Ideally it would be maintained by those who also maintain other gtk packages. If nobody can be found I could also maintain it myself; hopefully it's a quite painless package. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] isl update and gcc-4.6 status
by Allan McRae 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

Hi, I just put an update for isl in [testing]. It had an soname bump, so cloog is rebuilt as is gcc-4.6. I'm guessing the multilib toolchain will need a rebuild too... While I was at it, I took a new cvs snapshot for gcc-4.6 as there are a few good bug fixes there. I will probably call for signoffs for the toolchain in a couple of days if no issues come to light in that time. Allan
