[arch-dev-public] Pending initscripts issues
by Aaron Griffin 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

I need to push out a 2008.03 initscripts package, and it will have some fun changes from git and all, but I wanted to get a quick show of hands for pending issues. I know there are some bugs I think I will close out tonight, and others are more complicated. Here are bugs closed in git (some of these are old and fixed in 2008.02): http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8392 (??) http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9451 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4550 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/1186 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9726 I also added my name to the copyright lines. Anything else?

[arch-dev-public] about makedevs script
by Roman Kyrylych 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi! When doing some polishing of our initscripts I've noticed that /sbin/makedevs script uses find and rev that are in /usr/bin. As far as I understand this is wrong because no /bin or /sbin executable should use anything from /usr. So, how to fix that? Move find and rev to /bin? Seems like not a good idea. Another question is - what is the purpose of /sbin/makedevs? It is not used by initscripts, why it's in the package then? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev 118-4
by Aaron Griffin 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Crap, I missed the start_udev install. I guess I didn't fully test support for half-upgraded systems (why are we supporting this again? not sure, but people complained loudly enough). Thanks Thomas for pointing out that I was trying to install start_dev 8) ** Could someone build an i686 package for me, I have no remote access to my i686 box ** Reverting back to the older way of doing things, with minor improvements where they can be made Module loading and all that should be back to sanity, with slightly improved performance due to moving the framebuffer modules out to a udev rule.

[arch-dev-public] gcc 4.3 and archlinux
by Jan de Groot 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Hi all, I've prepared gcc 4.3.0 for the x86_64 platform in testing: - kernel-headers updated to 2.6.24.3 - glibc patched with some upstream CVS patches borrowed from gentoo - binutils rebuilt with gcc 4.3 and glibc 2.7-8 - gcc-libs updated to 4.3.0 - gcc updated to 4.3.0 and patched to support gcj without installing/building it (gcc should be able to build java files when gcj is installed now) - removed gcc-fortran provides from gcc-libs, as we had a sobump - changed gcc-gcj to upstream tarballs instead of Ubuntu branch - rebuilt gjdoc which is a native java program - updated java-gcj-compat - rebuilt all fortran applications against new gcc-libs and changed dependencies In the meanwhile, I found out one big change: gcc 4.3 doesn't include C functions anymore when including c++ includes. This breaks a horrible amount of packages, but fixing is easy: Whenever there's a missing function, look it up in its manpage: strcpy: man 3 strcpy, look for include, which will be <string.h> in this case. As we're using C++ now and want a C include, this will become #include <cstring> without the .h and a c prepended. As gcc 4.3 should be backwards compatible with 4.2 (except for libgcj and libgfortran sonames), I don't think there's much trouble moving these packages to core and extra. I'd like to have these merged after Tobias has finished our ISOs (and we have enough signoffs), as I don't want to make big changes right before a release.
