[arch-dev-public] /dev/shm permissions and building in chroot
by Allan McRae 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, I have been tracking down a python3 bug and it turns out to be caused by our chroot building. Essentially the permissions of /dev/shm are different in the chroot than on the system: allan@mugen /home/arch/chroot/stable-i686/copy/dev > ls -ld shm drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Jul 12 15:16 shm allan@mugen /dev > ls -ld shm drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 Aug 14 10:23 shm So when configure scripts try to test for POSIX semaphores by writing in that directory, they fail. Looking at the relevant line in mkarchroot: mount -o bind /dev "${working_dir}/dev" Doing that manually show the same issue. Should we add chmod 1777 "${working_dir}/dev/shm" after the mount? It fixes my issue but feels hackish. Any other suggestions? Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] syslog-ng-3.1.2-1
by Allan McRae 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

Upstream changelog: INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES: * This release changes the default for 'store-legacy-msghdr' flag for log sources. In previous releases this had to be enabled explicitly, because of the performance penalties, which do not apply to 3.1. The original behaviour can be restored by explicitly specifying 'dont-store-legacy-msghdr'. Bugfixes: * When syslog-ng is reloaded, the local hostname value was not refreshed, causing syslog-ng to remember the hostname until the next restart. This may not play nice with DHCP configured hostnames, which may change dynamically. * When several SIGHUP signals are received in quick succession, the last one may have been dropped. This problem is fixed. * Make sure that numbers never get resolved using getpwnam/getgrnam (e.g. libnss functions), because this may cause deadlocks if the NSS provider is LDAP and the LDAP server is trying to log a message to syslog about invalid usernames. * Fixed flush_timeout() handling in for non-file destinations. Enabling flush_lines()/flush_timeout() for a non-file destination, either using a global option, or a per-destination option could cause excess CPU usage as long as the destination wasn't writable. * In case patterndb has a syntax error when reloading the file, syslog-ng automatically reverts to the old version instead of dropping pattern matching altogether. * Fixed pdbtool to properly handle accented characters in the command line. * Fixed the use of the greedy and drop-invalid flags for csv-parser. * Fixed a possible but rare memory leak in the handling of message suppression. Other changes: * Added "update-patterndb" command that merges patterndb files from ${sysconfdir}/patterndb.d and produces ${localstatedir}/patterndb.xml, the default file of the db-parser(). * Make it possible to specify the path to the syslog-ng control socket using a command line option in order to make it easier to launch multiple syslog-ng instances. * Introduced a new, cleaner syntax to specify that the permissions of a file are not to be changed. Use owner/group/perm options of a file without any parameters instead of "-1". The old mechanism had the problem that both per-file and global settings had to use "-1" to effectively stop syslog-ng from changing the uid/gid/perm values. The new syntax will make it possible to specify defaults in the global options section and customize those on a per-file basis. * syslog-ng will not go into the background if either the --syntax-only or --debug options are specified. Loggen: * Added SSL support. * Added the ability to read from a sample file Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] 2.6.35.1-1 from testing does not load sd_mod during boot, breaking boot
by Dieter Plaetinck 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

FYI, I installed 2.6.35.1-1 from testing on my system (nforce2 motherboard, silicon image sata controller, WD raptor sata disks) this kernel does not load sd_mod during boot, which - in my case - causes the encrypt hook to not find the device it should decrypt, which breaks my boot process. in the early userspace shell i can confirm there is no /dev/sd* or /dev/disk/by-uuid I tried regenerating initcpio from rescue media, but this did not help. I think I will install the earlier kernel again or maybe the LTS, unless someone has a better idea. Dieter

This will need to be moved before the python rebuild starts so any reports of successful updates would be good to have. Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] gcc-4.5.1-1, ppl-0.11-1, elfutils-0.148-1, libtool-2.2.10-3
by Allan McRae 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

ppl-0.11-1 - upstream update elfutils-0.148-1 - replacement for libelf (needed for tools/perf) gcc-4.5.1-1 - upstream update, rebuilt against ppl-0.11 and elfultils libtool-2.2.10-3 - rebuild against gcc-4.5.1 There are still some ppl and elfutils rebuilds to do. The only package from [extra] left is ddd and that needs patching to build. All the cross-compilers from [community] need rebuilt too... Allan

Upstrema update. Upstream moved the location of the timestamp files, so everyone will receive the sudo lecture on first usage. Signoff both, Allan
