[arch-dev-public] new grub2 package: advice needed
by Ronald van Haren 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi guys, I'm preparing a new set of grub2 packages together with a user (skodabenz). We've had a rather long discussion about if we should rename 's/grub/grub2' in the package. In theory this should allow to install both grub and grub2 (chainloading, but nobody will do that anyway I suppose), but it will also make things more clear as they no longer share similar directories. - This would rename however all utilities to have grub2 in the name instead of grub. - the config directory will move to /boot/grub2 Some consequences: - people can't find their utilities anymore (searching is difficult for some) - grub2 may replace grub and switching names again would be weird - previously used config file is not loaded and people get greeted by the grub command line (which is quite powerful though). We could possibly copy the old grub.cfg from the users system over to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. If we don't copy it we can blame Allan. I'm not quite sure what the best option here is. What do you think? Ronald

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mkinitcpio 0.6.8-1
by Thomas Bächler 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Minor update. I would like to highlight two improvements: 1) autodetection of filesystems now only probes the root device, not all block devices. This might solve some bugs with mkinitcpio hanging during image generation. 2) gzipped kernel modules should now be supported. This can increase the installed size of our kernel package by 100MB. Shortlog: Dave Reisner (1): mkinitcpio: mount real root device instead of symlink Thomas Bächler (6): Do not include everything from /block/ in the SCSI hook. autodetect: only probe the root device filesystems: remove cp437, it is added as an extra module whenever fat is used If filesystem autodetection fails, use all_modules instead of checked_modules Support .ko.gz kernel modules, in addition to .ko Release version 0.6.8 Tom Gundersen (1): mount: forbid suid,exec,dev from /proc and /sys

[arch-dev-public] PyPoppler
by Ray Rashif 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

I'm bringing this [1] in as python2-poppler for a feature request [2], though it will just be an optional dependency. The question is, can any existing package make use of it (PDF functionality, mainly export)? If not, it will go to [community] instead. In case anyone happens to know.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] openssh-5.7p1-2
by Gaetan Bisson 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hi again, So openssh-5.7p1-2 is now in [testing] and its only difference with the previous version is that it has PAM re-enabled in sshd_config, following the consensus we reached on the openssh-5.7p1-1 signoff thread. Please test and signoff this new package. (For convenience, I reproduce the upstream ChangeLog from 5.6 below.) -- Gaetan Changes since OpenSSH 5.6 ========================= Features: * Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH) and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys. Only the mandatory sections of RFC5656 are implemented, specifically the three REQUIRED curves nistp256, nistp384 and nistp521 and only ECDH and ECDSA. Point compression (optional in RFC5656) is NOT implemented. Certificate host and user keys using the new ECDSA key types are supported - an ECDSA key may be certified, and an ECDSA key may act as a CA to sign certificates. ECDH in a 256 bit curve field is the preferred key agreement algorithm when both the client and server support it. ECDSA host keys are preferred when learning a host's keys for the first time, or can be learned using ssh-keyscan(1). * sftp(1)/sftp-server(8): add a protocol extension to support a hard link operation. It is available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln" behaviour of creating a symlink is available using its "-s" option or through the preexisting "symlink" command * scp(1): Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts are transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is copied directly between the two remote hosts. * ssh(1): automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based on which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys, since these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first time. * ssh(1)/sshd(8): add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary TOS/DSCP/QoS values instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. bz#1733 * sftp(1): the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve the results of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its execution rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them again afterwards. * ssh(1): "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on a temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server socket is either ready or stale without races. stale server sockets are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711) * ssh(1)/sshd(8): add a KexAlgorithms knob to the client and server configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are used by ssh(1) and sshd(8) and their order of preference. * sftp(1)/scp(1): factor out bandwidth limiting code from scp(1) into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the atomicio callback mechanism and use it to add a bandwidth limit option to sftp(1). bz#1147 BugFixes: * ssh(1)/ssh-agent(1): honour $TMPDIR for client xauth and ssh-agent temporary directories. bz#1809 * ssh(1): avoid NULL deref on receiving a channel request on an unknown or invalid channel; bz#1842 * sshd(8): remove a debug() that pollutes stderr on client connecting to a server in debug mode; bz#1719 * scp(1): pass through ssh command-line flags and options when doing remote-remote transfers, e.g. to enable agent forwarding which is particularly useful in this case; bz#1837 * sftp-server(8): umask should be parsed as octal * sftp(1): escape '[' in filename tab-completion * ssh(1): Typo in confirmation message. bz#1827 * sshd(8): prevent free() of string in .rodata when overriding AuthorizedKeys in a Match block * sshd(8): Use default shell /bin/sh if $SHELL is "" * ssh(1): kill proxy command on fatal() (we already killed it on clean exit); * ssh(1): install a SIGCHLD handler to reap expiried child process; bz#1812 * Support building against openssl-1.0.0a Portable OpenSSH Bugfixes: * Use mandoc as preferred manpage formatter if it is present, followed by nroff and groff respectively. * sshd(8): Relax permission requirement on btmp logs to allow group read/write * bz#1840: fix warning when configuring --with-ssl-engine * sshd(8): Use correct uid_t/pid_t types instead of int. bz#1817 * sshd(8): bz#1824: Add Solaris Project support. * sshd(8): Check is_selinux_enabled for exact return code since it can apparently return -1 under some conditions.
