[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

[arch-dev-public] archbuild: building in a chroot for the lazy
by Pierre Schmitz 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi all, atm every dev has his own scripts or he just doesn't build his packages in a chroot. Even though mkarchroot and makechrootpkg exist they are not straight forward to use and you need to configure your chroot properly. My long term goal is to create easy to use tools which will use the exact same build environment for everyone. The first attempt is now in testing with devtool-0.9.9. In short: All you need to do now is run e.g. extra-i686-build, testing-x86_64-build, staging-i686-build etc.. This will do all the boring work for you like creating the correct chroot etc.. In more detail: * By default the script will create the chroots in /var/tmp/archbuild. Make sure you have enough disk space here. You might use another dir by using the -r switch. * The -c switch will recreate the chroot even if it already exists. * You can also build i686 pacakges on x86_64. * TUs can use extra-*-build and testing-*-build to build packages for community or community-testing. * You user will need the permission to use sudo * Set PACKAGER, MAKEFLAGS, SRCDEST, PKGDEST in your ~/.makepkg.conf * the first enabled mirror in your mirrorlist will be used for the chroots; local mirrors using file:// are supported. This is in early stage and far from ready. So feedback and feature request are more than welcome. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
