[arch-general] non-login bash
by Jorge Almeida 09 Oct '11

09 Oct '11

Please help me to understand how bash does its initialization when started as a non-login shell. The manual says it sources ~/.bashrc and that's it. The Arch Wiki says it sources /etc/bash.bashrc and then ~/.bashrc. Sure enough, it does what the Wiki says... It occurred to me to look in the Wiki, after much trouble, the kind of trouble that happens from trusting the manuals. Did I misunderstood the manual or is Arch distributing a patched version? (Somewhat contrary to the Arch way, if I understood it.) TIA Jorge Almeida

by Tobias Powalowski 08 Oct '11

Hi Arch community, Arch Linux (archboot creation tool) 2011.10-1, "2k11-R6" has been released. To avoid confusion, this is not an official arch linux iso release! Homepage and for more information on archboot: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archboot Forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127923 Summary: - Only use one lzma initrd for each architecture, plain bugfix release. Hybrid image file and torrent is provided, which include i686 and x86_64 core repository. Please check md5sum before using it. Hybrid image file is a standard CD-burnable image and also a raw disk image. - Can be burned to CD(RW) media using most CD-burning utilities. - Can be raw-written to a drive using 'dd' or similar utilities. This method is intended for use with USB thumb drives. Please get it from your favorite arch linux mirror: - https://downloads.archlinux.de/iso/archboot/2011.10/ - <yourmirror>/iso/archboot/2011.10/ Have fun, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-general] Pacman 4.0.0rc2
by Dan McGee 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

You don't need to be as daring this time- we've had some 246 commits since RC1. The most relevant changes is signing is about 95% functional at this point- see directions below the links. * pacman -U http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-4.0.0rc2-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz * pacman -U http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-4.0.0rc2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz Please report any issues you may find with this package, as it is getting very close to being an actual releasable version. These are debug builds with symbols, so getting stack traces and helpful logging should be relatively straight forward if necessary. == How to enable package signature checking == 1. Install above pacman RC package. 2. sudo pacman-key --init 3. `SigLevel = Optional` in pacman.conf is the default- for more info, see man pacman.conf, but this means signatures will be checked *if available*, and there will be no error if they are not. However, due to us not having a web of trust for Arch developer keys, you will need to add this to the [options] section: SigLevel = Optional TrustAll 4. Run -Syu or any other operation that fetches packages from sync databases. When it comes time to check package integrity, you may be prompted to import keys that are not in your keychain. If a signature is available, it will be used instead of sha256sums/md5sums. -Dan

[arch-general] backpac: A package state snapshot and restore tool
by Ethan Schoonover 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

I've finished basic implementation of 'backpac', which is a package state snapshot and restore tool for Arch Linux with config file save/restore support. I've posted a summary to the forum, an AUR package and a github repo: BBS: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127768 AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52957 GIT: https://github.com/altercation/backpac It's alpha but usable and, I hope, useful. Essentially it is a system state save/restore tool. Save lists of (explicitly installed only) groups, packages (separate official/aur). Uses a user created simple list of files to snapshot system config data. Feedback solicited. -Ethan Ethan Schoonover es(a)ethanschoonover.com http://ethanschoonover.com

Hi, why not always make it a symlink, so updates to tzdata package are applied immediatly and don't require a reboot? Is it for scenario's where /usr is not available?
