[arch-dev-public] CJK fonts in [extra]?
by Gaetan Bisson 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hi all, I'd like to add truetype fonts that provide Chinese/Japanese/Korean glyphs to [extra]. Besides TTF files, the packages would include a configuration file for /etc/fonts/conf.avail/ which would be linked to from /etc/fonts/conf.d/ by the install script, so that the font is automatically used for glyphs not provided by "higher-priority" fonts such as ttf-dejavu. For instance, I've adapted the AUR package ttf-sazanami which provides a nice font supporting Japanese characters: http://arch.vesath.org/ttf-sazanami-20040629-4.src.tar.xz Any comment or reason why I shouldn't do this is welcome! :) Best. -- Gaetan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sudo-1.7.4.p4
by Allan McRae 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Upstream security fix release: This release fixes a security issue with respect to the handling of sudo's -g command line option when -u is also specified. The flaw may allow an attacker to run commands as a user that is not authorized by the sudoers file. For more details, see: http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/runas_group.html Some quick signoffs would be good... Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] mirror db died?
by Roman Kyrylych 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

What happened with our mirror db? I go to the admin interfase and don't see it anymore. There was a report from our tier1 mirror that rsync access is denied, so I guess rsync.conf is broken now due to this. Whoever has an access to the db please take a look. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] cairo xcb backend
by Jan de Groot 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Today Cairo 1.10.0 was flagged, so it's time to update soon again. I don't know when I will introduce the new package, as I'm still working on passing the test suite included in it. Some of the tests fail here, some even crash. One thing that will definitely change is the included xcb backend. At this moment we include --enable-xcb, which is an unsupported and experimental feature. The XCB backend hasn't seen recent development, causing weird rendering bugs and sometimes even crashes. I would suggest to ship cairo 1.10.0 without the XCB backend. This means that any package that depends on the XCB backend (awesome mainly) will no longer work with our cairo package. To justify this decision, I would like to point out a comment in the Redhat bugtracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465759#c23

(It's an open question whether or not a version of tzfile.5 should live independently in man-pages. It was added to the man-pages set many years ago. For now, I'll follow a conservative course that causes least pain to downstream, by continuing to maintain a separate copy in man-pages.) See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=594219

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mdadm-3.1.4-1
by Tobias Powalowski 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Two fixes related to configs that aren't using udev: - Don't remove md devices which 'standard' names on --stop - Allow dev_open to work on read-only /dev And fixed regressions: - Allow --incremental to add spares to an array - Accept --no-degraded as a deprecated option rather than throwing an error - Return correct success status when --incrmental assembling a container which does not yet have enough devices. - Don't link mdadm with pthreads, only mdmon needs it. - Fix compiler warning due to bad use of snprintf - Fix spare migration Please signoff both arches greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
