[arch-projects] [namcap][PATCH] fhs: update valid and invalid paths
by Tom Gundersen 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

* Remove /var/lock form valid paths. It is already forbidden, so should not be valid. * Empty most of /lib. We want to empty /lib over time. This explicitly allows the subdirs that would need a coordinated rebuild to empty, and disallows everything else. * Prod people into emptying /{s,}bin. To the extent possible these dirs should be emptied and moved to /usr/bin. In particular we want to avoid new or third-party packages putting stuff here. * Disallow installing in /srv. /srv is admin territory, similar to /home. No package should put stuff there. Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg(a)jklm.no> --- This is updated to be up-to-date with the status of the current move of /lib to /usr/lib, and squashed into one commit as suggested. Once /lib is a symlink to /usr/lib, we should update this again, but even now this would be very useful to make sure people get warnings in case they are about to put stuff back into /lib.

By looking at the device symlinks from the holders/ attributes of a block device, we can walk down each device chain until we reach the most descendant device. For each of these devices at the end of a chain, detect its type and perform the appropriate action to disassemble it. Then, walk back up the device chain, disassembling each parent device. To save ourselves some pain and make sure we're fairly accurate, lsblk is brought in for detection of device types.

[arch-projects] inconsistency between net-auto-wireless and net-auto-wired
by Auguste Pop 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

hi, i noticed a minor inconsistency between the two daemons. net-auto-wireless can read WIRELESS_INTERFACE from /etc/conf.d/netcfg, while net-auto-wired only recognize WIRED_INTERFACE from /etc/rc.conf. wifi-select also insists that WIRELESS_INTERFACE be set in /etc/rc.conf. the wiki page of netcfg "correctly" instructs users to set WIRELESS_INTERFACE in /etc/conf.d/netcfg, and WIRED_INTERFACE in /etc/rc.conf, but the fact that such two similar named and seemingly similar usage daemons from same project use different configuration files itself is somewhat wired and un-intuitive. would it be better to unify the configuration file among netcfg related utilities and daemons? thank you for your kind attention. best regards,

[arch-projects] git-shell access for Jouke?
by Thomas Bächler 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Jouke Witteveen has been working on netcfg recently and we finally had a new release. I would like to give him git-shell access so he can push to the netcfg repository directly. This would make him the new netcfg maintainer. I will still handle releases for now as soon as he pushes an annotated tag, and there is no reason to give him more access right now. Objections?

[arch-projects] [netcfg] [PATCH 1/2] auto-wireless: Always call dhcpcd with -K
by Thomas Bächler 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

wpa_actiond watches the wireless link and kills dhcpcd when appropriate. When the network goes down shortly (less than 30 seconds), then dhcpcd still removes the IP and re-acquires the lease. This is unnecessary, and breaks connectivity for a few seconds more than needed: 00 dhcpcd[1181]: wlan0: carrier lost 00 wpa_actiond[832]: Interface 'wlan0' lost connection to network 'XXXX' 04 dhcpcd[1181]: wlan0: carrier acquired 04 wpa_actiond[832]: Interface 'wlan0' reestablished connection to network 'XXXX' 04 dhcpcd[1181]: wlan0: rebinding lease of 11.22.33.44 04 dhcpcd[1181]: wlan0: acknowledged 11.22.33.44 from 11.22.33.33 04 dhcpcd[1181]: wlan0: checking for 11.22.33.44 09 dhcpcd[1181]: wlan0: leased 11.22.33.44 for 1800 seconds Here, the wireless link was reestablished after 4 seconds, but the connection was usable after 9 seconds. --- scripts/netcfg-wpa_actiond-action | 4 ++-- src/connections/ethernet | 2 +- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/netcfg-wpa_actiond-action b/scripts/netcfg-wpa_actiond-action index 3547fef..71ffcf7 100755 --- a/scripts/netcfg-wpa_actiond-action +++ b/scripts/netcfg-wpa_actiond-action @@ -11,10 +11,10 @@ action="$4" case $action in CONNECT) if [[ -z $profile ]]; then - dhcpcd "$interface" + dhcpcd -K "$interface" exit $? fi - if ! $CONN_DIR/ethernet up "$profile"; then + if !
