[arch-dev-public] ChangeLogs
by Andreas Radke 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Maybe only I missed it: I just found that all my packages that used to pickup the "ChangeLog" file don't show anything in pacman -Qc! http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=2cabe336eb33e443819a1d9… It seems I missed the note in the NEWS file of pacmans 3.4.0 release. Just a heads up. Is it worth the work to update the changelog at all? Any plans on integrating a Changelog to the packages website? Do we need some convention how to order and format the file? [andyrtr@workstation64 tmp]$ find /var/lib/pacman/ | grep changelog | wc -l 48 Not many packages seem to use that feature. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] man-db 2.5.8-1
by Andreas Radke 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

New upstream release. Please signoff. Anybody ever heard of the mentioned "libpipeline"? It seems so far it hasn't been packaged in any form for Arch. I'll have to bring this in when 2.6.0 comes out. -Andy Changes: This release reduces installation footprint by building much of man-db as shared libraries, and permits building with an external libpipeline (http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/) man-db 2.6.0 will stop shipping its own copy of libpipeline. Among other things, this release fixes an assertion failure on 'man -l', fixes catman saving corrupted pages in some locales, and prevents mandb from repeatedly rescanning manual page hierarchies on every run when a whatis entry turns into a broken link.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] openssl 1.0.0.b-1
by Pierre Schmitz 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hi all, this is a security related update for openssl, so please sign off. For more details see http://openssl.org/news/secadv_20101116.txt Side note: make test does no longer pass with this version. It might be just the test itself that is broken though (tested different arches and also on Ubuntu). But I need to look into this though. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] Inappropriate bugtracker behavior
by RedShift 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Hi all Someone (which shall remain nameless unless privately asked) on the bugtracker has been demonstrating inappropriate behavior. This includes, but not limited to: * Insulting developers for not accepting certain bugs * Insulting anyone who disagrees with him, sometimes subtle but definitely there This has occurred multiple times in the past as well (I looked it up). From my point of view, he clearly is not a developer. Any recommendations on how to proceed? I do not wish to continue this issue on the bugtracker itself. Thanks, Best regards, Glenn (PS: Yes I have been inactive for a very long time - decided to pick up again as bugwrangler)

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] coreutils-8.7-1
by Allan McRae 14 Nov '10

14 Nov '10

Upstream update. Signoff both, Allan * Noteworthy changes in release 8.7 (2010-11-13) [stable] ** Bug fixes cp, install, mv, and touch no longer crash when setting file times on Solaris 10 Update 9 [Solaris PatchID 144488 and newer expose a latent bug introduced in coreutils 8.1, and possibly a second latent bug going at least as far back as coreutils 5.97] csplit no longer corrupts heap when writing more than 999 files, nor does it leak memory for every chunk of input processed [the bugs were present in the initial implementation] tail -F once again notices changes in a currently unavailable remote directory [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5] ** Changes in behavior cp --attributes-only now completely overrides --reflink. Previously a reflink was needlessly attempted. stat's %X, %Y, and %Z directives once again print only the integer part of seconds since the epoch. This reverts a change from coreutils-8.6, that was deemed unnecessarily disruptive. To obtain a nanosecond-precision floating point time stamp for %X use %.X; if you want (say) just 3 fractional digits, use %.3X. Likewise for %Y and %Z. stat's new %W format directive would print floating point seconds. However, with the above change to %X, %Y and %Z, we've made %W work the same way as the others.
