[arch-general] gpg-agent, ssh keys, and systemd --user
by Robbie Smith 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

How can I get gpg-agent to work with ssh keys? The following script that I’ve put in /etc/profile.d sets it up, but I’d like to move my user daemons (such as gpg-agent) over to systemd --user. $ cat gpg-agent.sh #!/bin/sh envfile="${HOME}/.gnupg/gpg-agent.env" if test -f "$envfile" && kill -0 $(grep GPG_AGENT_INFO "$envfile" | cut -d: -f 2) 2>/dev/null; then eval "$(cat "$envfile")" else eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support --write-env-file "$envfile")" fi export GPG_AGENT_INFO I’ve written the following user service, and it should do the same thing, but it doesn’t seem to work: $ cat ~/.config/systemd/user/gpg-agent.service [Unit] Description=GnuPG private key agent Wants=environment.target Before=environment.target IgnoreOnIsolate=true [Service] Type=forking Environment=GPG_ENVFILE=%t/gpg-agent.info ExecStart=/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support --use-standard-socket --write-env-file ${GPG_ENVFILE} ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -c "xargs systemctl --user set-environment < ${GPG_ENVFILE}" ExecStopPost=/bim/rm %t/gpg-agent.info Restart=on-abort [Install] WantedBy=default.target Both the script and the service file start gpg, create an environment file, and export the variables. But for some reason, gpg-agent doesn’t store keys or anything if run as a service. I don’t know why. Can anyone help?

This doesn't belong to the pacman mailing list (I'm forwarding to arch-dev-public and arch-general), but I'll summarize what will probably happen: Separate debug repositories won't happen - we can't even put split packages into different repositories, so it is unlikely that we'll support separate debug repositories - and I don't see the need. Even if the db sizes double, we are still way under 5MB per db, which is a reasonable size considering our users' bandwidth nowadays. Allan stated that he'll add a glibc-debug package to core, and it is also likely that KDE will get debug packages in extra (they have been requested a few times). Some links: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-March/024736.h… https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-March/024740.h…

[arch-general] debug package repositories
by William Giokas 14 Apr '13

All, With the inclusion of the debug option in pacman 4.1.0, I think it makes sense to do something with this in the official repositories. I've sifted through some bug reports asking for inclusion of the debug symbols in a separate package or repository officially for testing purposes. With [extra] and [community] approaching 1.5 and 2 megabytes respectively, I think that adding debug symbols directly into these repositories would be a bad idea as it would probably add ~50% to those databases, and I've already seen some people complain about the sizes. What I would propose (and I've implemented this locally fine) is to have a separate series of repositories named [$repo-debug] that only contain the -debug packages, allowing those that don't bother with testing or debugging to simply not include them in their pacman.conf, but if there is something that they want to run valgrind or whatever on, they can simply enable the right [*-debug] repo for that package, and once they are done debugging simply remove that repo from their list along with the package. For really large packages, this will save people a while lot of time recompiling dependencies for these symbols. I talked to ioni on the channel, and he said that your repo scripts do not have support for this. If it's too much of a hassle, putting them in the same repo wouldn't be that terrible, honestly.

[arch-general] Another 'gotta be something idiotic': trying to create bootable USB thumb drive

[arch-general] PKGBUILD weirdness
by Robbie Smith 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

I’ve been working on my own fork of luakit, building and installing it to test changes, and I’ve come across some weirdness in the PKGBUILD. The original luakit-git PKGBUILD[1] has a set of options to pass to make to (for example) enable luajit. I rewrote it to conform with pacman/makepkg 4.1 vcs standards[2], and for some reason, if I use an auxiliary variable to store these options, the packaging fails. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be so? [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lu/luakit-git/PKGBUILD [2] https://github.com/luakit-crowd/luakit/blob/develop/extras/PKGBUILD

[arch-general] mdadm: RAID-5 performance sucks
by Karol Babioch 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi, I've got four HDDs and added them into a RAID-5 array, which basically works just fine. However the performance sucks quite hard. I get only about 70 MB/s when it comes down to reading and writing speeds of about 35 MB/s. The hardware itself is quite decent: Intel Xeon E31260L, 8 GB RAM and four Samsung HD204UI's. With the same setup and a Ubuntu live environment I get about 270 MB/s reading speed and 130 MB/s writing speed. Therefore there must be a fundamental difference. I've compared various values from sysctl between both environments and set them accordingly, but to no availability. Anyone else experiencing the same issues and/or can you point me in the right direction? At least I would like to saturate my Gigabit Ethernet connection. Best regards, Karol Babioch

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] Build issues due to -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 in CPPFLAGS

This of course will break wine's builtin workaround for FORTIFY_SOURCE, which assumed that it was in CFLAGS. Maybe no matter as for some reason it wasn't working on archlinux in any case. It produces the following (snipped from the gcc output) -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0, which for some reason seems to produce broken code. -- Joakim

[arch-general] [makepkg] Permission denied on pkg/ directory
by Robbie Smith 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

I’ve been porting my old PKGBUILDs to the 4.1 format for VCS packages, and for some reason I keep getting errors building the package, with the pkg/ directory being created with 000 (d---------) permissions. My umask isn’t malformed as I can create directories and files just fine, and if I chmod the directory and re-run makepkg, it seems to lock the directory. Is this a bug, or a new feature of 4.1? Or have I misconfigured something somewhere? I did a diff of the configuration files when 4.1 was released so they should be up-to-date.

[arch-general] mkinitcpio: fsck - Does it actually make sense?
by Karol Babioch 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi, I'm wondering whether it makes actually sense to include the fsck hook into the initial ramdisk. With the "current" switch to systemd filesystems get fsck'ed by default anyway, so it seems to be sort of redundant. Is there something I'm missing here, or how do you handle this? Best regards, Karol Babioch

[arch-general] Beginner's Guide: Disable dhcpd service before setting static ip
by Siddhartha Sahu 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi, In the setting up network section of beginner's guide [1], there should be an instruction to disable dhcpd service before setting up the static ip, otherwise dhcpd automatically rewrites the resolv.conf file, removing user set details. Wanted to confirm if I am right. Can I edit the wiki to include the instruction: 'systemctl stop dhcpd.service' in the beginning of the "Wired" section? [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide#Wired Thanks! Siddhartha Sahu
