[arch-dev-public] Merging dhclient and dhcp package
by Daniel Isenmann 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Hi, I don't know why this idea didn't came earlier to my mind, but the dhclient and dhcp package share the same source file. Now that pacman supports splitted packages this can be merged into one PKGBUILD and build both packages at once. This should be really easier than maintaining both packages from differents maintainer like at the moment. Any objections for doing this? Daniel

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] wicd-1.7.0-1
by Daniel Isenmann 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Hi, there is a new version of wicd in [testing]. In the past there were always problems in upgrading wicd, so I have decided to put it in [testing] first. Please test it and give me some signoffs. Big changelog: 1.7.0: Changes for Packagers: - Wicd now supports a -k option, which should be run by the init script when the daemon is stopped to release the DHCP lease but should not be run on a restart of the daemon. - The ability has been added to split Wicd's components into multiple directories. Use --gtk, --cli, --curses, and --daemon to setup.py configure to specify the locations of the respective components. - The preferred way to run the GTK UI is now to use wicd-gtk, not wicd-client. wicd-gtk is a new addition to 1.7 that will never run wicd-curses. wicd-client will automatically decide to run wicd-curses if there is no X session available. Major Changes: - Connection information is available by right clicking the tray icon - Can set the hostname per network for all DHCP clients - urwid 0.9.9 is now supported - Added wicd-cli, a command line interface for use in scripts - Global scripts are now passed parameters specifying the network Minor Changes: - Support for only displaying notifications using -o to wicd-client - Reconnecting now works when measuring signal strength in dBm - ESSIDs made of numbers now work properly - All valid wpa_supplicant drivers are now displayed - Wired network is now displayed while scanning wireless networks - Added wicd-gtk, a command to always and only run the GTK UI - Marked ioctl backend not supported - Use dhcpcd-bin on Debian instead of dhcpcd script Daniel

[arch-dev-public] monotone requires botan < 1.9
by Andrea Scarpino 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

Hi DEVs, monotone 0.45, that is in [extra], needs botan 1.8.x to work. It is orphan too. So we have 3 choices now: - add botan18 to [extra] - move monotone to unsupported - (bad) build monotone with botan 1.8.x and add the depence with botan<1.9 What do you suggest? See FS#17297 for more. Thanks -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

[arch-dev-public] packaging workload / help wanted
by Andreas Radke 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

It's time to call for help. I've run into a packaging workload I don't want to handle anymore. Some package groups take damn much time to follow upstream development, other just eat compile time. I don't want to give away completely these package groups for now (maybe later) but I really need help in the longer view. I'd like to work together with a few more people in maintaining package groups. I've already asked internally but got no real helpful response. That's why I want to ask you the community members to help out in some of my packaging tasks. Is anybody interested in helping out in the following package groups? 1) openjdk6 (openjdk7 expected later this year). new coming npplugin needs early testing. 2) OpenOffice and Go-OOo (aka ooo-build). Packaging requires fast hardware. 3) Xfce - I took it all over from Tobias(neri) because he's often not very active. Maybe someone can help here. Xfce 4.8 expected first half this year. 4) Nouveau stack 5) Ati stack - I'm forced to used the free ati drivers but someone else with one or even more Ati cards working together with upstream people would be nice to have aboard. Future KMS will require lots of testing. 5) LinuxPrinting (Cups, foomatic, ghostscript) - always buggy on major releases. Not much work all the other time. Please also check my other major packages. You should be an Arch user for some time and I expect you to know how to package and work together with upstream developers. Please drop me a (private) mail if you are interested. -AndyRTR

[arch-dev-public] [PATCH] Recalc columns after module loading

Re: [arch-dev-public] [signoff] xfsprogs-3.1.0
by Tobias Powalowski 15 Jan '10

15 Jan '10

Hi bump to latest version, xfsprogs-3.1.0 (13 January 2010) - Reduce memory usage in xfs_repair by using better data structures. - Add additional checks in xfs_repair to detect freespace btree corruption instead of only rebuilding the btrees. Useful for the no-modify mode. - Fix libhandle to use the right path to issue by-handle ioctls for symbolic links and special files. - Use lazy superblock counters by default. At least kernel 2.6.22 is needed for this feature. - Use physical device sector size if available in mkfs.xfs, so 4K sector devices are handed more gracefully. - Add a German translation, thanks to Chris Leick. - Enable the madvise and mincor commands in xfs_io. - Fix unsafe temporary file creation in xfs_fsr. - Add support for discarding unused space on SSDs or thin provisioned arrays in mkfs.xfs. - Allow linking against libblkid for topology information. - Add symbol versioning for libhandle. - Remove the included RPM and binary tarball built infrastructure. - Various build system improvements. - Small fixes to xfs_db and xfs_io. please signoff both arches, thanks greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org
