[arch-dev-public] Bug tracker help
by Aaron Griffin 09 May '08

09 May '08

Hey guys, I'm looking for someone who wants to help out as a temporary flyspray admin while Roman is busy with real life. I am not very good at keeping tabs on the bug tracker, so new bugs aren't getting assigned quickly, and PM requests are piling up. What you will get: * Admin status * Lots of emails daily (~20-30 maybe) The job: * Assign new bugs as they come in * Deal with PM requests (to close, or reopen bugs) * Other maintenance if bored (finding out-dated bugs, and closable bugs) Anyone interested? This may not be permanent, we will revisit the issue when Roman has more free time. NOTE: This isn't developer specific. I am opening this up to anyone who follows this list too 8)

[arch-dev-public] policy on desktop files?
by eliott 08 May '08

08 May '08

We have lots of bug reports for missing desktop files. Is this something 'we' are doing, or is it something that we should be telling users to report upstream instead? Seems like it should be an upstream issue to me, even though the amount of work for adding a desktop file to one package may be small..if we are doing for all packages that need them ........

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] patch 2.5.9-1
by Andreas Radke 08 May '08

an old outstanding update someone found and flagged. other distros(Debian, Gentoo, Frugal) also use 2.5.9 as their last stable release. -Andy Changes in versions 2.5.8 and 2.5.9: bug fixes only. Changes in version 2.5.7: * patch -D now outputs preprocessor lines without comments, as required by POSIX 1003.1-2001. Changes in version 2.5.6: * File names in context patches may now contain spaces, so long as the context patch headers use a tab to separate the file name from the time stamp. * Perforce is now supported. * Patch lines beginning with "#" are comments and are ignored. Changes in version 2.5.5: * The bug reporting address is now <bug-patch(a)gnu.org>.

[arch-dev-public] broken database entries
by Xavier 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hello, there are regularly some broken entries, with a FILENAME mismatch for example. A while ago, I reported a bug for two broken entries along with a simple one-line command that anyone can run to detect them : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9337 for i in /var/lib/pacman/sync/*/*; do grep -A1 FILENAME $i/desc | tail -n1 | grep -v $(basename $i) && echo $(basename $i); done This currently returns one broken entry : devtools, also reported here : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10262 Maybe this information is already obsolete with the new db scripts on the way (well, anyone can dream). And apparently a new devtools will come with the new db script, so that should also fix the db entry issue. This mail is simply a reminder that it's very easy to check the sync dbs for this kind of mismatch, and that 10262 can probably be closed when a new devtools is added.
