[arch-dev-public] [IDEA] no packages older than one year in repos
by Allan McRae 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

Hi, This is an idea I have been thinking about for a while. One disadvantage of rolling release (at least with how we implement it), is that some packages do not get rebuilt in a long time. That can mean policy changes never get fully implemented (e.g. removal of .FILELIST from packages, moving man pages to /usr/share/man, LDFLAGS changes, arch=any, etc). Also, new toolchains bring new optimizations that are good to have. I would like to propose that we ensure no package in the repos goes unbuilt for more than a year. Looking at the current state of the repos, this should not be too much of a hassle once we catch up. There are about 12 packages in [core] and 120 packages in [extra] that currently have not been rebuild for more than a year. So, that indicates new packages to be rebuilt would occur at a rate of about two a week. If people like this idea, I can add the packages to the unimportant rebuild list wiki page (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Unimportant_Rebuild_List) and gradually start doing to rebuilds. Once caught up, we can add a check to the integrity check script to catch new builds. Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] zlib 1.2.3.8-1
by Pierre Schmitz 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

Here we have another release of zlib. The next one will probably be 1.2.4. Here is a changelog to 1.2.3.7: - Clean up text files (tabs, trailing whitespace, etc.) [Oberhumer] - Use z_off64_t in gz_zero() and gz_skip() to match state->skip - Avoid comparison problem when sizeof(int) == sizeof(z_off64_t) - Revert to Makefile.in from 1.2.3.6 (live with the clutter) - Fix missing error return in gzflush(), add zlib.h note - Add *64 functions to zlib.map [Levin] - Fix signed/unsigned comparison in gz_comp() - Use SFLAGS when testing shared linking in configure - Add --64 option to ./configure to use -m64 with gcc - Fix ./configure --help to correctly name options - Have make fail if a test fails [Levin] - Avoid buffer overrun in contrib/masmx64/gvmat64.asm [Simpson] - Remove assembler object files from contrib -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] net-snmp 5.5 rebuild in [testing]
by Eric Bélanger 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

Hi, I've put net-snmp 5.5 in [testing]. It had a library soname bump so extra/fwbuilder extra/hplip extra/hpoj extra/libfwbuilder extra/php-snmp community/php52 community/rsyslog were rebuilt against it and are also in testing. Could someone (Allan? Pierre?) run the library check script to make sure I haven't forgot any? fwbuilder didn't explicitely listed the net-snmp dependency so there might be others. Old soname: /usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so.15 /usr/lib/libnetsnmpagent.so.15 /usr/lib/libnetsnmphelpers.so.15 /usr/lib/libnetsnmpmibs.so.15 /usr/lib/libnetsnmptrapd.so.15 /usr/lib/libsnmp.so.15 New soname: /usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so.20 /usr/lib/libnetsnmpagent.so.20 /usr/lib/libnetsnmphelpers.so.20 /usr/lib/libnetsnmpmibs.so.20 /usr/lib/libnetsnmptrapd.so.20 /usr/lib/libsnmp.so.20 BTW, I don't really use any of these packages so it would be great if the people who use them could test them and report any problems/success. Thanks, Eric

I have no problem with removing it, especially considering we've always been fine with makedepends in other repos. PS sent from my phone, sorry if the format blows. I think it's top posting...

Do we want to clutter the output of integrity check every week with makedepends repo hierarchy, which seems to get very little interest and attention (for good reasons) ? It's a growing list, and it's the most useless section but takes more than half of the total report length. PS : aaron in CC because I think I cannot post to arch-dev-public with that mail :)
