[arch-dev-public] [signoff] filesystem 2010.11-1
Hi all, I recently adopted the orphaned package filesystem and made a little review/rewrite. Some of the changes may be questionable so don't hesitate to give suggestions. * add correct deps; the install scripts needs bash and coreutils * sync gshadow to group (fixes FS#19869 * Rewrite PKGBUILD and the install script to make it more readable * Add /usr/local to PATH * There were a lot of discussion about this. However there are not very strong pros and cons. * I decided to add it because: * If we include the /usr/local folders its natural to also include them in PATH * means if we really don't want /usr/local in PATH this subtree should be removed from the filesystem package completely. * There is no real technical downside in adding them; not adding it however has a little disadvantage for those who like to use /usr/local * Added /usr/local/etc/ as required by FHS * Higher level dirs override lower ones in PATH now * allow login from serial console; see FS#18578 * Add ::1 to hosts file (needed if ipv6 is used) * Don't try to guess the shell we are running * Do it like Debian or Ubuntu and only source the global bashrc when running bash. * Other shells like zsh have their own global config anyway. * In fact sourcing the global shell config was only needed/used by bash. * see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20288 Especially have a look at the last one. I have tested this with bash, dash, zsh and ksh but maybe I miss something. We should also remove the /etc/profile.bash file from the bash package as it is not needed. Should I prepare some announcement about this change if we are fine with it? Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
