[arch-dev-public] [signoff] kernel26-lts 2.6.32.12-1
by Tobias Powalowski 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi guys, first try of lts bump to .32 series: - udev-compat is not needed anymore for this kernel - updated lts config to this kernel series - lzma compression is now used With this LTS release, i want to provide binary kernel modules too. Shall the binary modules be part of [core] then too, if the kernel26 module is there too? Thanks for feedback and input. Please signoff both arches, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] Package checking
by Jan de Groot 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

A lot of projects include a "check" target in their makefiles. Right now, we don't use these checks and just upload a package after compiling it, sometimes even without a runtime test. I would propose to add checks to important packages. Examples include glibc, glib2, cairo, MySQL, Mozilla stuff and more. Running make check can result in better package quality. Upstream usually runs these tests before releasing, but they don't test every possible combinations of packages that a distribution ships. To implement this, I would propose to have some kind of check function inside the PKGBUILD, which can be called by makepkg if "check" is in the options array. Other option is to include make check inside the build() function, but that will make it non-optional. This package checking stuff could get implemented in an automatic build bot in the future. Not only will that build bot detect packages which don't build anymore, but it will also detect regressions caused by package updates. A package like xulrunner or firefox could pass the check without errors on package upload, but it could break after updating cairo or gtk2 for example.

[arch-dev-public] KDE 4.4.4 broken?
by Pierre Schmitz 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi all, just tried to upgrade to KDE 4.4.4 but it does not start at all after this. It complains about incompatible KDE libs that were built for a different version. This smells like a gcc[-libs] issue. Which gcc version did you use to compile? Did you use a different version to compile for example kdelibs than the other kde packages? Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] gcc-4.5.0-4
by Ronald van Haren 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi, in testing for both architectures, please signoff. This release rolls back an upstream commit which broke the creation of khtml binaries, and thus caused a broken kde (FS#19633). I built kde 4.4.4 on both architectures using this version without a problem. Ronald

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] nfs-utils 1.2.2-3
by Andreas Radke 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

While I was changing my nfs server from NFSv3 to NFSv4 I've found our user mapping broken. Before idmapd gets started we need to make sure nfsd module is loaded. If the module is not loaded all files are mapped to nobody the guest account. We load it in the nfs-common init script now. This is also done the same way by Debian, Fedora and Gentoo. see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490181 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/235930 http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/nfs-utils/F-13/nfs.init?revision=1… Now it's working on my server. Please signoff. -Andy

rename xz-utils to xz and use recent snapshot as suggested by upstream (includes gcc build fixes etc.) I'll also chnage the few reveresd deps from xz-utils to xz. (xz has propper provides though) Please sign off both arches. PS: The repo check script will complain about xz-utils missing in svn; but thaqt will fix itslef once this xz package has moved to core. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] x86test where does it come from?
by Tobias Powalowski 30 May '10

30 May '10

Hi guys, just saw that our official media contains the boot option x86test. Where does it come from? It's not an official package name, can someone enlighten me? If we provide it, it would be also nice to have it as package in [extra]. thanks greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

So... you know how I said -2 used a patch to fix a buffer overflow? Turns out that I only put the patch in the source array and never actually applied it! Fixed that. Signoff both, Allan
