[arch-dev-public] Please avoid versioned deps
by Pierre Schmitz 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hi all, recently I have seen that there were a lot of commits introducing versioned deps down to the pkgrel level. I think we should avoid such deps if possible. There are possibly only some important packages in core where this is useful and in such cases you should add not only an lower but upper bound (see kernel modules for example). For anything else this is not needed (at least for Arch), adds more complexity or simply breaks stuff. For more detailed arguments please read at least the first three messages in http://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/private/arch-dev/2009-October/011439.h… This is just a general reminder and I did not intend to attack anyone. So just keep it simple. :-) Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] REQ: Build acpid for x86_64 arch
by Thayer Williams 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Would someone mind building acpid for the x86_64? I just pushed out a minor update for 686 a few minutes ago so everything should be good to go.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-150-1
by Tobias Powalowski 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Hi guys, udev 150 ======== Bugfixes. Kernels with SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y are not supported since a while. Many users depend on the current sysfs layout and the information not available in the deprecated layout. All remaining support for the deprecated sysfs layout is removed now. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] initscripts 2010.01-1, udev 150-1, device-mapper/lvm2 2.02.60, cryptsetup 1.1.0
by Thomas Bächler 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Okay, here are the changes: initscripts: - hwclock improvements by Dan - some minor crypto fix on shutdown - moved the prekillall hook so it can be used better with splash Necessary for device-mapper/udev, as dm-device detection on startup has needs options introduced in 2009.11-1 (still in testing) udev: - upstream update - remove resolve-modalias, replace with modprobe --resolve-alias device-mapper/lvm2: - cleaned PKGBUILD, hopefully fix the dmeventd path mess - upstream update cryptsetup: - upstream update, hopefully fixes lots of bugs These have to be moved together (and with mkinitcpio) so that device-mapper still works fine with udev. This should solve FS#16735 finally - it has to be moved in any case, because this is better than the situation in core, even if some people will still have problems. I want to move these 5 and mkinitcpio out of testing before I push the kill-klibc mkinitcpio in - the latter will also require changes in lvm2 and cryptsetup.

I just created a todo list containing 163 packages. This todo list contains all packages that link to libpng and that should get rebuilt when we update to libpng 1.4.0.

by Pierre Schmitz 27 Jan '10

Hi, here is another upstream update (yes, I skipped .5 and .6). I also added a patch to libxml2 which had misused some private zlib API and triggers a crash. Please sign off.
