[arch-dev-public] Namcap and packages status

Hi guys, I just used namcap to check all packages from our repositories. The results can be found on: http://dev.archlinux.org/~hugo/namcap/ I think that will be easier to generate some reports now. -- Hugo

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] + help needed readline rebuilds
by Aaron Griffin 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

So I finally pushed the core readline/bash packages to testing. The reason it took so long was a) a mkinitcpio issue which was fixed a few weeks in, and b) the fact that I couldn't keep up with the extra packages in my limited freetime. So, I've just built the core packages, and put them in testing for a signoff. These packages are: bash readline device-mapper heimdal inetutils lvm2 sqlite3 There are LOTS of packages in extra and community that need rebuilds. The original output from Allan's script is as follows: abiword-plugins abook afterstep amule bc cdcd clisp ecasound evms fluidsynth freeciv fvwm fvwm-devel genius gftp gnokii gnuchess gnupg gnupg2 gnuplot gnutls gphoto2 guile gutenprint hugs98 jack-audio-connection-kit kdeedu koffice lftp libgda libqalculate librep libxml2 lua maxima mono-debugger mysql-clients ntp ocfs2-tools octave pal parted php pilot-link postgresql postgresql-libs python python24 r ruby smbclient socat swi-prolog texlive-bin tftp-hpa twinkle uml_utilities unixodbc vice wvstreams xine-ui I'm going to slowly work through these throughout the day, but if someone can help, that'd be great. Let me know if I broke anything - been using bash 4 for some time with little or no problems

[arch-dev-public] Arch Linux (Brazil) on FISL
by Hugo Doria 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hi guys, Last week we had the first brazilian Encounter of Arch Linux Users, during the tenth edition of the International Forum of Free Software (FISL), in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The event was huge (more than 8000 people), great and we got new users (a lot of them). We had a stand where we gave free CDs (i686 and x86_64), did some installs and gave some lessons. Also, we made four lectures in the event: Introduction to Arch Linux (by Rodrigo Flores) >From * to Arch (by Kessia Pinheiro) Arch Linux Brazil: past, present and future (by Douglas Andrade) How to create packages for Arch Linux (by me) Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (the president of Brazil) went to the event and met some distributions. I hope that our president use Arch. :P There are some pictures from the event here (just the first two days. i will upload the other two soon): http://hugodoria.org/fotos/?Qwd=./fisl10 Some pictures from our stand and the arch linux brasil people, that were very important for our encounter and made everything happen: http://hugodoria.org/fotos/?Qwd=./fisl10/archlinux-br Douglas Soares (dsa) was there too: http://hugodoria.org/fotos/?Qwd=./fisl10/archlinux-br&Qif=IMG_0450.JPG&Qiv=… Pictures taken by others: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/fisl/ I want to bring some of you guys for the next FISL, that will happen in 2010. I tried this year, but i lost the deadline to try. -- Hugo

Hi, just forget to ask for sign-off. This is just a new upstream release. If e.g. update-ca-certificates works for you everything should be fine. Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] The [community-testing] repository
by Thomas Bächler 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I think this has been requested and discussed a few times and I talked to several people about it, so I want to outline my ideas here: When moving the community db scripts to the new svn-based scripts, a community-testing repository should be created. With the new scripts, handling this is incredibly easy. And here is why: Rebuild sprees. We have the problem now with readline: libreadline.so.6 is in testing and community packages are built against .so.5. [testing] users cannot use everything from [community] and once we move everything to core and extra, it takes too much time for [community] to catch up. The [community-testing] repository will solve that: While the dev team does rebuilds in [testing], the TUs do the same in [community-testing]. When everything is done, a developer can move the core/extra and community packages simultaneously. This is not only useful for SONAME bumps, but also for kernel updates (there's a few kernel modules in [community]). I suggest this should be set up as soon as [community] is moved to SVN-based scripts, as the upcoming libjpeg rebuilds will break too many packages and we need to rebuild not only the [extra] but also the [community] packages in time. That's how I see it, opinions?

Ok, rsyncd is running on the aur server, and I'm fiddling with rsyncing to gerolde. Currently I'm running: $ rsync -rptlv --safe-links --delete-after --delay-updates \ aur.archlinux.org::community /srv/ftp/community on gerolde. I snagged this out of a wiki article as I'm not too familiar with rsync options. Any suggestions for the options before I turn this into a cron job? Note: lots of "cannot change permissions" errors (probably due to g+s) - any way to skip that part?

[arch-dev-public] PHP 5.3.0
by Pierre Schmitz 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

So, a new major version of PHP was released. (in fact on there servers for some days now). Before people send me mails and flag the hell out here are some notes: * I wont release anything before the readline and libjpeg rebuilds are done and in core/extra * I had to remove the character set directive from my.cnf to make mysqlnd work with utf8 * I had to add some ugly workarounds to some of my scripts to make them work * The API has changed; so we need new versions of the external modules. The latest beta of APC seems to work fine; a new suhosin extension has not been released yet. But I'd bet that will happen quite soon. * I guess a lot of scripts will need updates. Long story short: I have to wait for the rebuild move and new release of the external extensions to put it into testing. And it should stay there for some time. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
