[arch-projects] hostname regression
by Tom Gundersen 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi Gaetan, I just thought of this possible solution: "hostname" does not really have to be in core, except for its use in initscripts (correct me if I'm wrong here), so it is ok to keep it in net-tools, and not install net-tools by default (assuming initscripts somehow can set the hostname on boot). If that's correct, we could just install the hostname from coreutil in some place that is not in PATH, such as /lib/initscripts/hostname (without installing the manpage), and keep the old hostname in net-tools. This is similar to what you suggested (putting it in /usr), except that it is a bit more clear: either you have hostname or you don't, you don't have different versions of it depending on what packages are installed. -t

If you really think that you can find a fully working initscript which can't be handled by the sed command be my guest. And it already should exist because writing a working script to break something isn't hard. The only scripts I can think of are pushing $1 into a variable an test this one for valid actions: action="${1}" case "${action}" in start) ;; stop) ;; esac (I haven't ever seen this in an initscript) or something like this: if [ "${1}" == "start" ];then ... elif [ "${1}" == "stop" ]; then ... else ... fi Who is writing and using such a chain of if/else in an initscript? All the sed command does is: - removing all lines until "case"-command which tests $1 - removing all lines except the lines which are the patterns of the "case"-command e.g.: start) stop) - removing default choices of the case (*)) - replacing ')' and '|' by space to build a list Indeed that is a heavy combination of sed-commands but it's working properly. Also the main annoyance for the poeple out there is that the completion doesn't work for actions which are script-dependent like ifup or force-reload. The only way to fix it without using a may-not-work-in-this-and-that-never-seen-condition-command is to add all actions which are and will be in the initscripts. This is IMO unrelyable and can't be handled by anyone. But if you insist in using the current approach I'll try and fix existing bugs. >> 2) This is still a code dump, and as such, I don't think anyone will >> accept this regardless of how good or bad it is.

I didn't know how you want to get patches. It's the first time I try to sent a patch to arch-dev-list. Does all people have write-access to your git? Or how should I commit a modification so you'll get an email? I mean if I just clone your git and commit it to my clone you'll never get a notification. Is there maybe a wiki-article describing the way how you want to get patches? Kind regards, Andrwe

[arch-projects] rc.d bash_completion
by Andrwe 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi, I've improved the bash-completion of rc.d. I created a patch for latest git (https://github.com/seblu/arch-initscripts/tree/). The patched version extracts all actions of an initscript and adds them to the list of possible actions and only list initscripts supporting the given action. Kind regards, Andrwe

[arch-projects] [mkinitcpio][PATCH 0/9] Resend of pre-kill gen-init-cpio
by Dave Reisner 07 Jun '11

07 Jun '11

At Thomas's request, this is a resend of the patchwork that precedes the patch series to kill off gen_init_cpio. I've made some minor tweaks, the only notable one being that I've dropped support for PARTUUID= out of patch 7. It's not right to use PARTUUID as a synonym for UUID because PARTUUID actually refers to the GPT partition UUID, and not the filesystem UUID. blkid can't (currently) resolve this, so we'll stash this for now and await proper support in libblkid. d
