[arch-dev-public] db 4.8 rebuild
by Paul Mattal 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

I've been holding back on the libldap and postgresql rebuilds of postfix, because there's also a list up for db-4.8. Since I have to rebuild, I'd like to get all 3 at the same time so that testing will be consistent. However, I haven't seen any db-4.8 packages in testing. What's the status of those? - P

[arch-dev-public] Who broke devtools? - extrapkg svn commit == fail
by Thomas Bächler 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

So, please have a look at the second block: if [ "$1" != "" ]; then svn commit -m "upgpkg: $pkgbase $pkgver-$pkgrel $1" > /dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Cancelled" exit 1 fi echo "===> Commited with \"upgpkg: $pkgbase $pkgver-$pkgrel $1\" message" else svn commit >/dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Cancelled" exit 1 fi echo "===> Commited with \"upgpkg: $pkgbase $pkgver-$pkgrel\" message" fi 1) Redirecting the commit command to /dev/null if an editor is going to be called is fail. extrapkg was hanging indefinitely and I was really wondering why. 2) The above is easy to fix, however, the "Commited with ..." message is incorrect. Furthermore, we should still include "upgpkg: ..." in the default commit message, that is missing in the second code path.

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] sqlite3 3.6.18-1
by Andreas Radke 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

New upstream release. I haven't added any of the new features. Will do this by requests if needed later. Please signoff. -Andy SQLite version 3.6.18 is now available for download from the SQLite website. http://www.sqlite.org/ The SQLite source code is tracked and managed using the Fossil distributed configuration management system. See http://www.fossil-scm.org/ for further information on Fossil. SQLite was previously versioned using CVS. The entire CVS history has been imported into Fossil. The older CVS repository remains on the website but is not read-only. There are two major enhancements in SQLite version 3.6.18. The first is a series or refinements to the query planner that help SQLite to choose better plans for joins where in the past it was selecting suboptimal query plans. The SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT2 compile-time option has been added to cause SQLite to collect histogram data on indices when the ANALYZE command is run. The use of histograms improve the query planning performance even more. The second major enhancement is that SQLite now support recursive triggers. The older non-recursive behavior of triggers is still the default behavior. Recursive triggers are activated using the recursive_triggers pragma. In addition to allowing triggers to call themselves (either directly or indirectly) the new capability also fires DELETE triggers on rows that are removed from a table as a result of REPLACE conflict resolution processing. Non-recursive triggers are still the default behavior since this is least likely to cause problems for existing applications. However, we anticipate that triggers will become recursive by default beginning with release 3.7.0. At that point, applications that want to continue using the older non-recursive trigger behavior will need to use the recursive_triggers pragma to disable recursive triggers. This version of SQLite also contains bug fixes, though none of the bugs are serious and all are obscure, so upgrading is optional. The SQLite core continues to have 100% branch test coverage and so despite the many changes in this release, the developers believe that this version of SQLite is stable and ready for production use. Please let me know if you encounter any problems. D. Richard Hipp drh(a)hwaci.com

[arch-dev-public] [draft] PHP 5.3 enters [extra]
by Pierre Schmitz 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Here is a draft for an announcement about the new php packages we currently have in testing. They will be moved together with the libldap and postgres rebuilds. --- The new major PHP 5.3 release is finally available in the [extra] repository. This update will require manual adjustments: * update your php.ini; see php.ini.pacsave as reference * module path is now /usr/lib/php/modules * session, mbstring and zlib are now built in * the fileinfo module is now built in and no longer a separate package * mysqlnd is anabled; so libmysqlclient is no longer needed * Setting default-character-set in my.cnf may cause encoding problems * Set date.timezone in php.ini * third party extensions need to be updated * There are also new versions of the suhosin and apc extension make sure to review their configuration as well PHP was split into the following packages: * php * php-apache * php-cgi * php-curl * php-enchant * php-gd * php-gmp * php-intl * php-ldap * php-mcrypt * php-odbc * php-pear * php-pgsql * php-pspell * php-snmp * php-sqlite * php-tidy * php-xsl If you are using php on a webserver you either need the cgi or apache sapi. The sqlite package includes the sqlite3 drivers; the legacy sqlite2 drive is included in the php package itself. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] pidgin maintainer wanted/where is pizzapunk?
by Andreas Radke 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

several devs have bumped Pidgin in last few months because its maintainer "pizzapunk" is absent for months now and never giving any words in our discussions. we should find a new maintainer for this application. it's widely used in our community. I myself don't want to do this work. the new packager should think about moving in farsight2 from community to extra for adding video/audio support. but user feedback is still showing poor quality of that implementation (fedora also has it enabled in their devel tree). anybody interested? on the other site we should send again a ping out to all devs asking if they are still aboard. Alex(kth5) is also absent for years now and maybe more guys have silently left us. -Andy

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libldap-2.4.18-1
by Allan McRae 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

All rebuilds are now done for [extra]. Given both these rebuilds were a while in the making, I do not think they need to sit in [testing] for too long. So, this is a call for the required signoffs. This signoff will include nfsidmap-0.23-3 which was also rebuild, thus superseding tpowa's earlier signoff thread. Allan
