Hello, My (somewhat overzealous) work for the python2 rebuild has raised the question of opening access for Junior developers to update the [staging] repository. What do you think about this? -- Rémy.

[arch-dev-public] inkscape finding a maintainer
by Ionuț Bîru 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi, the current maintainer is kinda away/busy since a long time ago and we need to find maintainer for at least inkscape, which seems to be an important piece of software. Does anyone in our dev team uses inkscape like a daily bases and wants to maintain it? If nobody wants it, Carlier Laurent, which is a trusted users, agreed to maintain it. -- Ionuț

[arch-dev-public] new lighttpd package
by Pierre Schmitz 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi, I am about to move lighttpd 1.4.28 to [extra]. Take care of the upstream changes; especially if you are using ipv6. I have also rewritten the rc script to use lighttpd-angel and hopefully made it more robust. This way graceful reload and shutdown is now supported. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3 - 3.7.2-1
by Andreas Radke 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Just a quick bugfix upstream release. Please signoff. -Andy http://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_7_2.html SQLite version 3.7.2 fixes a single bug that was discovered just hours after the release of 3.7.1. The bug can result in corruption of the database free-list after an incremental vacuum. The bug had nothing whatsoever to do with SQLite version 3.7.1 or any other recent release. The problem had been in the code for over a year, since version 3.6.16. The discovery of the problem so soon after the release of version 3.7.1 was purely coincidental. The bug fixed in 3.7.2 can result in database corruption. However, the corruption caused by this bug can almost always be fixed simply by running VACUUM on the database. And the corruption will only occur in an incrementally vacuumed database which at some point in time contains hundreds of unused pages which are slowly released back to the operating system by multiple calls to the incremental_vacuum PRAGMA. Even then, one must be particularly unlucky to hit the right combination of freed pages in order to trigger the bug. Hence the problem is quite obscure and was not noticed for over a year. Hundreds of lines of code where changed for version 3.7.2, but most of those changes were to test procedures. As is the custom with SQLite, not only was the specific bug fixed, but new tests where put in place to detect and prevent similar kinds of bugs elsewhere in the code. We believe that one should not just fix the bug, but also fix the process that generated the bug. The only 4 working lines of code were changed for version 3.7.2: http://www.sqlite.org/src/fdiff?v1=2dff4076d3c994dc&v2=5047fb303cdf6806
