[arch-dev-public] Scripting large rebuilds
by Aaron Griffin 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hey guys, Does anyone have any scripts that they use for mass-rebuilds (such as the readline rebuild)? I would like to get more tools of the sort into devtools, so want to see if anyone has anything existing that I could import / use for this purpose. If not, I will write one to do this with makechrootpkg (yay, chroots) to make this easier. Cheers, Aaron

[arch-dev-public] xorg status (upcoming in testing)
by Jan de Groot 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

I would like to inform people about the current status of X.Org on archlinux. At this moment, we have some client libraries and protocol definitions in extra targeted at xorg-server 1.6 already. I've been busy with xorg-server 1.5.99.903 today, which is supposed to be the last release candidate before 1.6 comes out. So far, the packaging looks good, but there's some nasty side-effects on this upgrade: - all input drivers need a rebuild - all video drivers need a rebuild Besides these rebuilds, I think we're going to have problems with binary drivers again. X will refuse to load them, unless you tell it to ignore ABI mismatches. I will be pushing xorg-server 1.5.99.903 or 1.6 to testing this week together with libdrm 2.4.4, mesa 7.3 and a rebuild+update of all free drivers in our repositories.

[arch-dev-public] Away
by Allan McRae 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi all, I will be on holiday from tomorrow until the 21st of February. I will probably have email access but won't be doing any packaging, etc. Feel free to update any package of mine apart from python3 in [community] as I have some changes that I want to make when 3.0.1 is released. Cheers, Allan

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] man-db 2.5.3-1 replacing man
by Andreas Radke 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

I've built man-db based on the package in community adding some changes I have found in a very good written page in the LFS book: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.4/chapter06/man-db.html You can read there all about man page encoding and the expected locations and how to recode them. Therefor I have added the LFS recode script. This will allow us to recode broken man-pages when we will get bugreports. This should improve the current situation a lot. Maybe we should write down later into the packager guide how to fix broken manpages, maybe even into the public wiki. I didn't want to add a new system user "man" as the community package does. It seems to run fine without serious security concerns for me. If you think different feel free to drop a mail here. It's not critical to create a database after installation. So I left out any install message. The cronjob will do this on its next run. You can surely run mandb manually to see how it goes. All local tests have worked well. So I start a signoff thread now. -Andy
