[arch-dev-public] Important: upcoming dbscripts release
by Pierre Schmitz 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi all, as the new dbscripts are quite done I'll send you a list with the most important changes. (If you are in a hurry read at least the next paragraph) Incompatible changes: * db-update will now update all packages found in your staging dir from all repositories * db-move has now a different syntax: "<repo-from> <repo-to> <pkgname|pkgbase> ..." You can move as many packages as you like at once. There is no need to specify an architecture here. * The wrapper scripts like testing2core have been removed as they are no longer needed; use db-move instead * testing2x now moves both arches at the same time (testing2x64 has been removed) * I have also started a user documentation at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:dbscripts Important changes: * implementation of a package pool: all packages are now stored in pool/packages or pool/community directories on the ftp server. The current repository directories like extra/os/i686 only contain symlinks. As a results moving pacakges between repositories is now a matter of altering symlinks and as such very cheap. This should solve the problems with not fully synced mirrors we had in the past when a lot of packages were moved from e.g. testing to extra. * Packages are only switched to this new layout if they are updated or moved. This way the migration should be slow but smooth. * db-move can now handle multiple packages within one "transaction". General improvements: * unit tests based on shunit2 * heavy refactoring to share common functions * Added more integrity checks which are run before the repositories are touched. * rewritten functions for easier and smaller code * the scripts can handle other db compressions than gz (but there is no migration path yet) Note: even though the result is more or less a rewrite there are still things that can be improved or new useful features that can be added. The tests only cover some basic use cases so we should still have a look at it once the new version is deployed. I think we should deploy these soon (before Allan's big python rebuild party) with CLEANUP_DRYRUN enabled during the first days. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mdadm-3.1.3-1
by Tobias Powalowski 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.2 Significant changes are: - mapfile now lives in a fixed location which default to /dev/.mdadm/map but can be changed at compile time. This location is choses and most distros provide it during early boot and preserve it through. As long a /dev exists and is writable, /dev/.mdadm will be created. Other files file communication with mdmon live here too. This fixes a bug reported by Debian and Gentoo users where udev would spin in early-boot. - IMSM and DDF metadata will not be recognised on partitions as they should only be used on whole-disks. - Various overflows causes by 2G drives have been addressed. - A subarray of an IMSM contain can now be killed with --kill-subarray. Also subarrays can be renamed with --update-subarray - -If (or --incremental --fail) can be used from udev to fail and remove from all arrays a device which has been unplugged from the system. i.e. hot-unplug-support. - "mdadm /dev/mdX --re-add missing" will look for any device that looks like it should be a member of /dev/mdX but isn't and will automatically --re-add it - Now compile with -Wextra to get extra warnings. - Lots of minor bug fixes, documentation improvements, etcc Please signoff both arches, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
