[arch-projects] [mkinitcpio] [PATCH] --rsyncable option
by Charles Duffy 15 Dec '18

15 Dec '18

At present, mkinitcpio outputs are not particularly stable: Generating two consecutive initramfs images from the same inputs can generate archives which are quite entirely unlike each other from the perspective of binary diff tools (rsync, casync, rdiff-backup, xdelta, etc). Making some adjustments to compression and archival can greatly reduce the size of this delta. A ticket with a proposed patch (adding a --rsyncable option to mkinitcpio) has been opened at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56128 -- however, as the advice there has been to consult this mailing list, it may no longer be open as of this writing. :) The change consists of the following: - Sort the list of files (in the C locale) before passing it to cpio. - When --rsyncable is passed, set all datestamps to the UNIX epoch before generating the cpio archive. - When --rsyncable is passed, pass the --reproducible option to cpio (this creates a dependency on GNU cpio 2.12, prevents device numbers from being included in the archive, and renumbers inode numbers to be consistent when file ordering is unchanged). - When --rsyncable is passed, pass the --rsyncable and --no-name options to gzip (the former tells it to reset the compression table on occasion, sacrificing compression ratio to prevent the effect from changes from cascading throughout too much of the stream; the latter prevents name and timestamp data from being stored in the gzip header itself). A version of the patch squashing together the two commits already present on the ticket is attached.

[arch-projects] [archweb] Licensing issues with JS code
by Adonay Felipe Nogueira 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi all, I have an issue to report. However, please note that I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, so I'd recommend you to Cc me when replying. For a short description of the issue, see: [[https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/1405]]. However, we must also note that Archweb is now newer than the Archweb release used by Parabola. Nonethless, as far as I know, each of the files still exist, although some of them don't even have license indication for the site's visitor (this is true for "visualize/static/visualize.js" and "mirrors/static/mirror_status.js"). In case of doubt, I might be able to help with some of the points described in the referenced issue. Respectfully, Adonay. -- - [[https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno]] - Palestrante e consultor sobre /software/ livre (não confundir com gratis). - "WhatsApp"? Ele não é livre, por isso não uso.
