[arch-projects] netcfg: fixes and features
by Jouke Witteveen 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Dear Thomas and the rest, A few of us have been looking at the netcfg code lately. One thing that came to light was that FS#24599 is actualy a wpa_actiond bug, so, Thomas, could you take it upon you? Furthermore, Remy's development tree held 8 bugfixes and some improvements, which I augmented with another 5.5 bugfixes and 3.5 added features (the half one being a syntax to reconnect based on an interface, as a fix for FS#28196). I would like to see someone package this work, that is available at https://github.com/joukewitteveen/netcfg and push a package to the (testing?) repository. I am not requesting maintainership of the code (Alfredo Palhares is after it too), but I am willing to be the maintainer. My request is just to move netcfg forward. Regards, - Jouke List of fixed bugs outside Remy's tree: FS#23934 FS#26370 FS#26607 FS#27496 (not quite) FS#28022 FS#28196

[arch-projects] [PATCH][namcap] use pure python for exec stack check
by Dave Reisner 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Instead of pulling prelink as a dependency, use a pure python library, pyelftools, for reading the program headers. This could be useful elsewhere to replace parsing of things such as readelf. --- This relies on a pure python ELF parsing lib I found, pyelftools, to do the job of prelink's execstack. I sort of pieced this together from example code in pyelftools, so I'm not sure it's all that wonderful, but imo it's better than relying on prelink it does seem to get the job done.

The correct return codes of "mount -a" are: 0 all mounts succeeded 64 some mounts succeeded and some failed 32 all mounts failed We want to show "FAILED" on all return codes except for 0. There is a bug in the new mount where "ignored" is taken to be "failed", which gives some false negative. This will be fixed in util-linux. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of changes: functions | 1 - 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) hooks/post-receive -- Arch Linux initscripts repository

Anyway I remember, that Dave says something about "new mount" will be disabled for 2.21, and enabled in 2.21.1. I can remember that this "new mount" causes "-a" works in different way than "classic mount" (but is an expected behaviour), and initscripts should be updated to reflect it.
