[arch-dev-public] syslinux 4.00pre47 in testing
by Thomas Bächler 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

I uploaded the new syslinux 4.00 release candidate to testing. Most important change is that the filesystem code has been entirely rewritten in C, and extlinux now supports ext4 and btrfs. Two perl modules and mtools have been moved from depends to optdepends.

First of all, I don't want initscripts to strongly depend on an up-to-date udev (although that would be a minor problem). Even if we ignore that, we need some devices in /dev/ before launching udevd, at least /dev/null. If we would force devtmps instead of tmpfs, that problem would be gone too. For now, I decided to leave the cp command in there, we can always remove it later.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] kernel26-lts 2.6.32.12-1
by Tobias Powalowski 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.
