[arch-dev-public] [singoff] man-pages 3.30-1
by Andreas Radke 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

upstream update. please signoff. -Andy ==================== Changes in man-pages-3.30 ==================== New and rewritten pages ----------------------- kexec_load.2 Andi Kleen New page documenting kexec_load(2) Michael Kerrisk Add license Michael Kerrisk Incorporate fixes from Eric W. Biederman Eric noted that a few instances of "virtual" should be "physical" and noted: There is an expectation that at hand off from sys_kexec that virtual and physical addresses will be identity mapped. But this isn't the old Alpha booting convention where you have a virtual address and then you have to parse the page table to figure out where your kernel was actually loaded. Michael Kerrisk Additions and edits by mtk Various wording and layout improvements. Fixed the name of a constant: s/KEXEC_ARCH_I386/KEXEC_ARCH_386/. Added RETURN VALUE and ERRORS sections. Added VERSIONS section Note that CONFIG_KEXEC is needed Removed details of using syscall; the reader can find them in syscall(2). Added some details for KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT. Revised the text mentioning the kernel header, since it is not yet exported, and it's not certain that it will be. lio_listio.3 Michael Kerrisk New page documenting lio_listio(3) Newly documented interfaces in existing pages --------------------------------------------- reboot.2 Andi Kleen Document LINUX_REBOOT_KEXEC unshare.2 Michael Kerrisk Document CLONE_NEWIPC Michael Kerrisk Document CLONE_NEWNET Lucian Adrian Grijincu Improve description of CLONE_NEWNET CLONE_NEWNET creates a new network namespace from scratch. You don't have anything from the old network namespace in the new one. Even the loopback device is new. Michael Kerrisk Document CLONE_SYSVSEM Michael Kerrisk Document CLONE_NEWUTS Michael Kerrisk Relocate discussion of CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CLONE_NEWNS section And rewrite the EPERM description to be more general in preparation for the new flags to be documented. Global changes -------------- Various pages Michael Kerrisk Add reference to feature_test_macros(7) Some pages simply list feature test macro requirements in the form: #define #GNU_SOURCE #include <someheader.h> For these pages, add a "See feature_test_macros(7)" comment on the "#define" line. Various pages David Prevot Use greater consistency in NAME line (Remove definite article at start of descriptiive clause.)

[arch-dev-public] Broadcom releases a mac80211-based GPL2 driver for the 802.11n wireless chipsets
by Thomas Bächler 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

After http://blogs.the451group.com/opensource/2009/07/20/microsoft-contributes-to… in 2009, pigs start flying again in 2010: Broadcom has released a driver for their newer 802.11n wireless chipsets that is - licensed under GPL2 - based on the linux-wireless mac80211 framework - already included into linux-staging-next, which means it will be available as a staging driver in 2.6.37 and it will be polished to be included into the usual linux-wireless tree This is great news for everyone, as this means you can soon just buy any laptop without having to worry about wireless chipset issues (Dell usually uses those chips, but they are not the only ones). For more information and the happiness of the linux wireless developers, see: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/55418

[arch-dev-public] db-5.1 rebuild
by Allan McRae 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

Hi, Time to move on to the next rebuild! This time it is for db-5.1. There are the following soname changes: libdb-4.8.so -> libdb-5.1.so libdb-4.so -> libdb-5.so libdb_cxx-4.8.so -> libdb_cxx-5.1.so libdb_cxx-4.so -> libdb_cxx-5.so It is a relatively small rebuild of 39 packages. I never got around to the db-5.0 update but that is a good thing as many pieces of software check for a db major version >= 4 and minor version >= 1 when they just want db>=4.1... Now we have db-5.1 we do not have to fix that stupidness. As always, more evidence that laziness pays off. I have pushed the db update to [staging] and will work on the rest of [core] later tonight (unless someone beats me to it...) Allan
