[arch-dev-public] Backpacking this weekend
by Aaron Griffin 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

I'll be away from Saturday - Monday on a backpacking trip in Southern Illinois. I'll have my cell for email, but who knows if it will work. If you really need me, I'd recommend getting a hold of Dan and having him either do what needs doing, or sending me a text :)

[arch-dev-public] Moving DB scripts live
by Aaron Griffin 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

So, we have "any" support and split package support sitting in the DB scripts in /arch-new I'd like to move this live soon. What do you all think? Can you test normal packaging with these to confirm there's no major regressions?

[arch-dev-public] German Pronunciation
by Aaron Griffin 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

How do you say "Gudrun". "Gerolde", and "Sigurd". I have my own English-ized pronunciations, but I'd like to know the real way to say it. I imagine the "Gud" is kinda like the german "guten", but is the "run" part like that too? Gude-rune?

[arch-dev-public] Reducing traffic usage during package move between repos

(the "getting" part is something different. see tiered setup,mirrorbrain etc. discussions) Since we already use symlinks for -any packages this proposal looks okay. The layout could be like this then: <repo>/os/i686/foobar-1.2.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz -> ../all/foobar-1.2.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz <repo>/os/x86_64/foobar-1.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -> ../all/foobar-1.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz <repo>/os/any/foobaz-4.5.6-1-any.pkg.tar.gz -> ../all/foobaz-4.5.6-1-any.pkg.tar.gz <repo>/os/all/foobar-1.2.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz -> ../all/foobar-1.2.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz <repo>/os/all/foobar-1.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -> ../all/foobar-1.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz <repo>/os/all/foobaz-4.5.6-1-any.pkg.tar.gz -> ../all/foobaz-4.5.6-1-any.pkg.tar.gz As mentioned above - this will reduce the amount of traffic during package moves between repos. The negative side is that this will need one-time redownload of all packages by mirrors, though this can be avoided by manual moving of the files by mirror admin (need to be done in this way: wait until /all syncing starts, kill rsync, move packages manually, start rsync). BTW I always wondered why we have that silly "os" subdir. Would be nice to get rid of it during this big mirroring change (if it'll happen). -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] subversion older in testing
by Andreas Radke 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

we have svn pkg 1.6.4-2 in testing and a later 1.6.5-2 in extra-x86_64 and an older one in extra-i686. any reason? I assume we need to rebuild 1.6.5-2 for i686 and clean up the ones in testing? -Andy

[arch-dev-public] making a devtools release
by Allan McRae 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hi, I am intending to make one after applying a few patches that have been sent to the mailing lists. I know that are few people are already using a git version for community and arch=any support so it should be good to go. Does anyone know of anything blocking a devtools release? Allan

[arch-dev-public] devtools-0.7.0 released
by Allan McRae 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Hi all, I have just push devtools-0.7.0-1 to our repos. It comes with support for arch-any packages, split packages and the community repo. Some things that people should note: - you need a commit message when using (e.g.) extrapkg or the commit will fail. - makechrootpkg no longer copies your local makepkg.conf to the chroot so make sure PACKAGER etc is set in your chroot.
