[arch-dev-public] [signoff] libarchive
by Dan McGee 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

I version bumped libarchive from 2.2.X to 2.4.0 today, and would appreciate a bit of testing before I move it to core. Best test cases are: * use bsdtar to extract and create some archives * use pacman Can someone also rebuild this for x86_64 and then we can get signoffs for both architectures? -Dan

[arch-dev-public] Plan for third removal candidates list
by Eric Belanger 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hi, I just posted the second list of removal candidates. There will be a third and possibly final removal candidates list. Please check https://www.archlinux.org/wiki/Repo%20Cleanup/ to add comments to packages that haven't been commented yet. As I'm unfamiliar to the remaing stuff and there isn't much interest in checking the wiki list, I plan to submit them to the list (after discussion and removal of the second list) for removal even if they have no comments. If you think it would be useful for discussion, I could add in the package description to replace the reason. How does that sound? Eric -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[arch-dev-public] Improving/Simplifying Kernel PKGBUILD
by James Rayner 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Some people liked this idea... http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/base/kernel26/PKGBUILD?rev=1.2… - We could put the patches into a patchset. tpowa has expressed dislike for this idea before, though it actually makes it easier to maintain. It'd allow the documentation to be moved out of the PKGBUILD, make the patches more accessible and the PKGBUILD cleaner. The only other things I can think of have alarm bells and are covered in red paint. Any other ideas? James

[arch-dev-public] Kernel - vanilla vs patched?
by Tom K 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Well, this kicked itself off in IRC this morning (timezone GMT+1), and as it seems most people didn't see it and/or didn't participate, we should probably do it here. Here's the question, as I see it - what do we patch kernel26 for? Bugfixes? Stability? Enhancements? New features? Other? Specific case under discussion: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8500 - a request, from a single user so far, for a new feature in the kernel. We also have, or had, a request for fbsplash (closed, of course) and there are probably others - Romashka? My understanding of The Arch Way, as it applies here, is that we patch for bugfixes e.g. ipw2x00, and for enhancements to existing functionality e.g. alsa. In the referenced bug report, there are differing dev views expressed - as I'm posting this, I'll include my view, which is that we should not add new features to kernel26. I'll also include a possible compromise: /me grabs big can of worms, opens it, pours it out onto DevLand :) Two kernels - a strictly as-vanilla-as-possible kernel26 in Core, and a more let's-try-new-features-here kernel26extra in Extra. It could be in Community either, but I would see it as an official Arch package, supported by the dev team. I would be happy to maintain it if necessary, along with the usual array of external module packages - in cooperation, of course, with the current kernel maintainers. Right now, anyone who has read the IRC log knows how Tobias P and Aaron feel about it, but I expect others have views on this topic too, so let's hear them. Regards Tom.

[arch-dev-public] Status Report Reminder
by Aaron Griffin 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Just a poke for everyone - I'm switching the status reports to every 2 weeks, as it gives us more time to do things. So if you need something to do, take a look there. Thanks to Daniel for doing the legwork for the core rebuild, and Dan for all the pacman bug closing (Special thanks to Nathan Jones here too for all his work). Feel free to email me personally with any issues or whatnot if they come up.

[arch-dev-public] Please fixing and core rebuild (was: rebuilding the whole core repo)
by Daniel Isenmann 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi, this is a summary of the previous mails. The following list should be fixed by the corresponding package maintainer. Try to add license as well to those packages. If some packages not fixed since Saturday, I will do it on my own. After fixing I can rebuild the whole [core] on my own. It's not really much work, runs mostly alone. Ok, here comes the list: core/base packages: ------------------- e2fsprogs: makedepends on 'bc', which is in [extra] gcc-libs: ==> Starting build()... You need the de_DE locale to build gcc. ==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting... Jan mentioned it in another mail, so this is ok. glibc: failure on getting source, wrong: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/glibc-patches-2.7-3.tar.bz2 right: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/glibc/glibc-patches-2.7-3.tar.bz2 iputils: makedepends on 'jade', which is in [extra] kernel26: wrong md5sum for file config klibc-extras: failure on getting source, wrong: http://ftp.archlinux.org/other/klibc-extras/klibc-extras-2.3.tar.bz2 right: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/klibc-extras/klibc-extras-2.3.tar.bz2 pacman: makedepend on 'doxygen', which is in [extra] reiserfsprogs: failure on getting source, connection timed out on server syslog-ng: makedepend on 'glib2', which is in [extra] vi: ----snip--- having patch file:7.1.147 having patch file:7.1.148 Number of patches does not match the patchlevel! Edit the PKGBUILD accordingly! ==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting... Jan mentioned it in the other email, too. core/lib packages: ------------------ everything builds fine core/devel pacakges: -------------------- fakeroot: source doesn't exists anymore on server gcc: libstdc++-man-4.2.0.tar.bz2 doesn't exists anymore on server core/support packages: ---------------------- bcm43xx-fwcutter: missing arch-tag in PKGBUILD capi4k-utils: compiling fails with errors, maybe of the new gcc/glibc gpm: compiling fails with errors, maybe of the new gcc/glibc madwifi-utils: depends on 'sharutils', which is in [extra] rt2x00-cvs: depends on command 'cvs', which is in [extra] wlan-ng26-utils: compiling fails with errors wlan-ng26: fails, because of missing -util package, see error above That is the list, could every maintainer of the package please have a look at those packages and add missing licenses if needed? On Saturday evening, I'm going to fix those PKGBUILDs on my own and start the first attempt for a complete [core] repo. Because of those dependencies of the packages which are in extra (and we don't want them in core), maybe I can build the dependencies with -b option in makeworld (I have tested it, it works). Any words against the whole process? Daniel

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] glib2 2.12.3-1
by Jan de Groot 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

As brought up during discussions several times, glib2 has been moved to core as it is a makedepend for syslog-ng. Together with the move I updated this one to 2.12.3, which fixes some warnings, updates some documentation which we delete anyways, updates some translations and fixes a memleak. Please signoff for both architectures.
