[arch-dev-public] pkgstats: second try
by Pierre Schmitz 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Hi all, two years ago (http://www.archlinux.org/news/419/) I created a stupid script to get some stats about package usage from our users. I did some improvements. The client now submits the mirror used by pacman. On the server side statistics about the country (looked up by geoip) are stored and more important all data are stored with a timestamp. This way we should be able to see usage trends etc.. It would also be possible to have users submit data regularly without messing up all stats. For now please have a look at the client itself. Check the output of "-s" and make sure you are using 2.0-2; especially if you use a password in your mirrorlist. ;-) The results can be found at https://www.archlinux.de/?page=PackageStatistics It's quite rough and needs a lot of optimization. It also just shows the overall stats. Note, that my goal is to collect data that are actually useful to us and not just nice to see. If you have any suggestions or ideas let me know. I think once this is working properly we should make another announcement to get helpful stats for a package cleanup or some mirroring improvements. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] PostgreSQL 8.4.4-4 in [testing]
by Dan McGee 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

I put a new version (8.4.4-4) of Postgres in [testing] tonight that fixes quite a few issues and wanted to just give it a few days to bake before pushing it to extra. Let me know if you see any issues with the new package. * FS#20556 - [postgresql] should be compiled with more options and libs, for a features reach package * FS#16507 - [postgresql] $PG_ROOT created with incorrect permissions * FS#19687 - [postgresql] no logrotate config * FS#18756 - [postgresql] package doesn't have contribs except adminpack -Dan P.S. If you tried 8.4.4-3, ignore the fact that it ever existed...yes there were conflicting files in the two packages.

[arch-dev-public] Correct hostname configuration
by Pierre Schmitz 11 Sep '10

11 Sep '10

Hi all, we just figured out that the new dbscript don't work on sigurd because the use hostname -s to determine on which host they are running. On sigurd this return just "localhost". I now wonder if the /etc/hosts file on sigurd is correct. E.g. I use this config: #<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.2 server.archlinux.de server hostname -s is server and hostname is server.archlinux.de While on sigurd this is used: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost sigurd 208.92.232.29 aur.archlinux.org hostname is sigurd and hostname -s is localhost. I am not sure about this; maybe both are wrong. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] New repositories (community-staging, multilib-testing)
by Thomas Bächler 11 Sep '10

11 Sep '10

The TU server now has a staging repository, this has been requested due to the big python rebuild. All rebuilds that are made for the staging repository should be put into community-staging now. multilib now has a testing repository, in case we need it (especially useful when testing has a new toolchain). Last but not least, the adjust-permissions cronjob has been disabled on both servers - should you mess with the db file directly (which you really shouldn't), never forget to restore the right permissions.

Hi all, this will hopefully the last update of xz for some time. :-) Maybe this is a sign for the final 5.0 version to be near. I am now using the (very strange) upstream versioning scheme. Please test it, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[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
