[arch-dev-public] Story time: Gerolde breakage
by Aaron Griffin 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

What follows below is a recounting of the Great Gerolde Breakage of '08. Details are provided by eyewitness accounts, and names have been changed to protect the innocent. It was a dark and gloomy night, that Thursday. I had come home late, in a bit of a dour mood, and had been drinking a bit. I sat down at my computer to check some emails and do some things before bed. When I concluded my events for the night, I decided it was time to -Syu and reboot. So I closed everything down except one terminal. The events below were all internal monologue: Hmm, Syu time. Woah, that's a lot of packages.... ah well. ENTER Huh, why do I have apache on this laptop? I'll have to remove that later. Hmm... mailman? I KNOW I didn't install that... what the? OH MY GOD THIS IS GEROLDE! I immediately Ctrl-C'd because I had a "sudo reboot" queued up for when the -Syu finished. I paused for a moment, kicking myself for doing that. I checked apache, and it was still running. ftp was working too. Ok, good. Exit SSH. Let me -Syu locally. Re-ssh to gerolde... immediate "permission denied". Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Yeah, I Ctrl-C'd before a kerberos upgrade was finished. This broke ssh, and something else goofy broke mailman. I emailed Dale, and he fixed SSH in the morning (whew, thanks a lot Dale). Mailman was a bit harder, but considering everything was down already, we switched from exim to postfix, as we'd been talking about it for ages. Hooray for silver linings! So. It's all back up now. Mailman is working, postfix is working, and everything else should be in working order. If something is broken, please let me know. Sorry for the inconvenience. Gerolde, hacked by phrak - Aaron

[arch-dev-public] [namcap][PATCH] remove /usr/man from standard dirs
by Pierre Schmitz 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi, here is a small patch to namcap which removes /usr/man from the standrd dirs. This should help stopping us storing man pages there and make Eric happy. :-) Would be nice if someone could apply this to git.

[arch-dev-public] Almost there
by Pierre Schmitz 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi devs, we have almost finished the needed rebuilds for the move to extra of KDE. (thanks to Hugo and Eric, who helpd me) I have updated the Wiki entry: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE3_Rebuild Please have a look; especially at the "does not compile anymore" section. I don't think any of them are critical and no showstoppers. They might just work without a recompile when installing kdelibs3. Some i686 rebuilds still have to be done. See http://www.archlinux.de/?page=ArchitectureDifferences. (visit #archlinux-dev if you want to help rebuilding) I'll do some more checls on our pkgdb to see if I haven't missed anything important which would break with the move. No real bug was reported till now; so I think if nothing goes wrong packages could be movedd tonight or tomorrow. (which would make them available one or two days later depending on the mirrors) Perhaps I'll have some time to set up a page with some Tips and known bugs for KDE 4.

[arch-dev-public] eclipse updates
by Paul Mattal 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

All, If you're an eclipse user and you haven't yet tried the new eclipse and/or eclipse-cdt from testing, please do so. These are now entirely based on "binary" builds distributed by eclipse.org, simplifying maintenance greatly, improving compatibility for various people, and leaving us more time to do other things. As usual, file specific issues with the bugtracker, but you can email me with more general eclipse-related philosophizing if you have an opinion you'd like heard. Best, - P

[arch-dev-public] Why is spam getting through?

I can't figure this out. People should not be able to relay through the archlinux.org mail server like that.
