[arch-dev-public] note about swfdec
by Andreas Radke 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

The swfdec maintainer has stated he isn't doing any flash related development anymore. As long as swfdec is working fine we can keep it in extra. Gnash will be the only free flash option in the future. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] initscripts 2009.11-1, device-mapper/lvm2 2.02.54-2, udev 146-3
by Thomas Bächler 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

This upload brings some changes to all device-mapper based applications and should be the start of fixing some race conditions (also needs a fix to devicekit's udev rules). Let's start with initscripts. There some outstanding issues as always, but we should rather release than wait for me to think about all of them: Aaron Griffin (7): Replace \e with \033 for printfs network: Use real interface name for ifconfig up Always shutdown daemons, regardless of runlevel network: support early 'up' for dhcp interfaces Add hvc0 to inittab (commented by default) Empty mtab instead of deleting it Replace 'truncate file' logic in case of noclobber Jim Pryor (1): Fix stty/tput usage for columns again Thomas Bächler (12): Add size and noexec mount options to /dev, change "none" to "udev" Use nosuid instead of noexec on /dev Remove uevent processing benchmark, as it is useless now that we actually do work between trigger and settle Remove support for static filesystem and make code in rc.single look like the code in rc.sysinit/rc.shutdown Implement a hook-system that allows to add custom code to the initscripts at certain places Make the hook-system a bit more usable Only load rtc-cmos if rc.conf has proper clock settings Disable special handling of ACPI modules Remove code to create md* devices manually, this is done by udev these days Set STARTUP=1 environment variable on initial udev triggering, required by latest device-mapper rules Correct last commit: Unset the STARTUP=1 variable in udevadm control only after udev has settled Remove redundant call to vgscan - this also fixes a "wrong" symlink in combination with the new udev-based device mapper node creation First I'd like to highlight the hooks-system. It can be used by splash daemons or live systems or any user to hook in special functions during the boot process. It is not really documented, there's some comments in rc.functions on using it. For this email, the lvm and udev changes are more important: During the initial udevtrigger, the STARTUP=1 environment variable will be set in all uevents. This is used by the new device-mapper/lvm2 upstream udev rules (which replace our homegrown and outdated rule) which have to distinguish between the initial triggering and later execution of uevents. The device-mapper rules also set some flags that will tell other rules to ignore a dm device (these flags have to be respected in devicekit to solve some race conditions). The only change in udev is that the I removed a hunk from the arch patch that un-ignored dm-* devices: Peristent names for those are now handles in the device-mapper rules, respecting the ignore flags and thus also avoiding weird races conditions. If you found this confusing, ask, otherwise please test and sign off. (Tested and working on x86_64 with encryption and lvm2)

[arch-dev-public] audio packages
by Allan McRae 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi, There have been plenty of bugs about enabling pulseaudio support in various packages but they are routinely closed with a "deferred until it is in [extra]" message. To get better audio support we would probably want to bring in at least pulseaudio, oss and portaudio from [community]. So is there a current dev willing to maintain these? Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libtool-2.2.6b-1
by Allan McRae 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Upstream update From release announcement: This release is a bug fix release for version 2.2.6. The following bugs are fixed: - Fixed libltdl to no longer attempt to dlopen() the old_library listed in the .la file. Now will use only the preopen loader to attempt to load it. This may be a security issue, all users are advised to upgrade. - Similarly, don't open module.la from the current directory, this changes the behavior of libltdl to match the documentation. Signoff both, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] patch-2.6
by Allan McRae 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Upstream update. Signoff both. Changes in version 2.6: * A regression test suite has been added ("make check"). * A --merge option has been added which will merge a patch file into the original files similar to merge(1). See the patch(1) manual page for documentation. * Unless a filename has been specified on the command line, look only for filenames in the patch until one has been found. This prevents patch from tripping over garbage that isn't a patch. When conforming to POSIX, this behavior is turned off and patch will ask for a filename if none is found. * All reject files have file name headers, which allows them to be used as regular patches. * When a patch file modifies the same file more than once, patch makes sure it backs up the original version of the file rather than any intermediary versions. * In the above situation, if there are rejects in more than one of those patches, they all go into the same reject file. * When the file to be patched is specified on the command line, all patches are applied to that file. (Previously, the first patch was applied to the file specified on the command line, and the names of additional files to patch were taken from header lines in the patch file.) * The -r option now works correctly even if there are rejects in more than one file. Use the - argument to discard rejects. * Rejected hunks come out in unified diff format if the input patch was of that format, otherwise in ordinary context diff form. Use the --reject-format option to enforce either "context" or "unified" format. Timestamps and the "diff -p" (--show-c-function) output are preserved. Changed lines in context format reject files are correctly indicated with '!' markers as the format defines. Added and removed lines are still marked with '+' and '-', respectively. * The file permissions of reject files are no longer set to match the files they modify. Instead, they retain the default permissions. This is consistent with reject files produced with the -r option. * The --binary option disables the heuristic for stripping CRs from line endings in patches. This allows to preserve CRs even in mangled patches, or in patches generated on non-POSIX systems and without the --binary option. * Backup files for nonexisting files are now created with default permissions rather than with mode 0: backup files with mode 0 were causing problems with applications which do not expect unreadable files. * The -B, -Y, and -z options (--prefix, --basename-prefix, --suffix) now imply the simple version control mode, and can be combined. * Patch rejects more malformed normal format commands and checks for trailing garbage. It now recognizes ed commands without addresses. * Change the default value of PATCH_GET to 0. (Previously, the default was 0 under POSIXLY_CORRECT and negative otherwise; this is causing problems particularly with Perforce.) * Handle missing timestamps better. * Various bug fixes.

[arch-dev-public] heimdal-1.3.1 rebuild
by Allan McRae 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi all, I just put up an internal TODO list for the heimdal update for [core]/[extra]. There is a soname bump in libhx509. I will do some more testing and build at least neon, subversion and openssh before uploading. Someone will want to see what packages from [community] need rebuilt. Allan
