[arch-dev-public] Xen domU kernel - what to do?
by Thomas Bächler 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Okay, it is obvious that we need a kernel which can run on Xen domU for our servers. It would also be very convenient for those running Arch on hosting services that have pv-grub available. Until now, I compiled a modified version of the kernel26 package with pv_ops/Xern enabled which - in theory - should also run on a real machine. If all the external modules compile properly (which they probably do), we could add these options to our normal stock kernel. I haven't tried running it on a real machine though and tpowa said in the past the nvidia module failed. This has to be tested. However, compiling Xen on a 32 bit kernel requires enabling PAE which we refused to do in the past for performance reasons (no idea if these are valid concerns) and due to the fact that we want to encourage people to run 64 bit if they have large amounts of memory. Assuming all of untested things above work, what would you prefer: 1) Switch to PAE on the 32 bit kernel, ship Xen domU support with kernel26 on both architectures. 2) Ship Xen domU support on the 64 bit kernel, and don't on the 32 bit kernel (my favorite so far). 3) Leave kernel26 unchanged and create a separate kernel26-xen package with domU support. The advantage of 3) is that the Xen kernel could be very slim, as almost all hardware drivers could be disabled. The advantage of 1) and 2) is the lower maintenance cost. On a different note, I'd like to try to switch over to pv-grub on our servers. Right now, upgrading the kernel requires copying the kernel to the dom0 manually, thus dom0 access is required to do a (potentially security relevant) kernel update. With pv-grub, upgrading the kernel and rebooting would be handled just like with a normal machine, as the dom0 only loads the pv-grub image which then runs inside the domU and can load the right kernel from there. The pv-grub is only available from Xen 3.3 and later, but we have Xen 3.2 - I compiled pv-grub from 3.4 though and guess it should work with the older hypervisor as well, but I haven't tested that yet. Anyway, please post your opinion on the issues above.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] kernel-headers-2.6.31.4-2
by Allan McRae 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Minor patching to scsi/scsi.h. This was moved from glibc to kernel-headers with the last update but appears not to have been entirely ready. I would appreciate a fairly quick signoff as the will be a new toolchain rebuild for a glibc release next week Allan

[arch-dev-public] Split packages across repos
by Allan McRae 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, I have just noticed that it appears currently not possible to have split packages that have some packages in [core] and others in [extra]. This make the gcc split a lot less attractive (gcc-{fortran,objc,ada} are all currently in [core] and not [extra] where I intended). Does anyone have ideas on how we could handle this? Allan

[arch-dev-public] [Draft] Update of gimp-help-2
by Eric Bélanger 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi, The new gimp-help will provide seperate packages for eache language as opposed to the curent one (gimp-help-2) which includes all languages. I haven't found a good way to use the replaces array to accomplish this so instead I'll post an announcement (front page news, bbs, ML). Feel free to suggest changes to the announcement draft or another way to do the update. ======================================================================== Update of gimp-help-2 The old gimp-help-2 2.4.2 package that was providing gimp's html help files for several languages was removed from the repo. It will be replaced by new help files for gimp 2.6.0. However, each language is now in its own package. To update, you'll need to removed the old package (pacman -Rd gimp-help-2) and installed the new package for the desired language: gimp-help-de gimp-help-en gimp-help-es gimp-help-fr gimp-help-it gimp-help-ja gimp-help-ko gimp-help-nl gimp-help-nn gimp-help-pl gimp-help-ru gimp-help-sv gimp-help-zh_cn You can also install them all with: pacman -S gimp-help ======================================================================== Thanks

Hi, I just committed an update to mailman on SVN trunk. It updates the package and puts the files in more reasonable places. However, I have no idea if the changes I made actually work... Can someone who uses this, build the package and test it out. Cheers, Allan

Upstream update to xfsprogs 3.0.5. Please signoff both arches. I have tested basic functionality, just need another sanity signoff. Because this is a limited-use package, if nobody signs off within a week (by end of day 11/2) I will push this to core. Changes are document here in git: http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=xfs/cmds/xfsprogs.git;a=summary - P
