[arch-projects] [mkinitcpio] [PATCH] --rsyncable option
by Charles Duffy 16 Dec '18

16 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] [devtools] [PATCH v2] makechrootpkg: respect GNUPGHOME
by Emiel Wiedijk 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Previously, makechrootpkg hardcoded ~/.gnupg. Therefore, if a user uses a custom GPG home directory, the siganture checking would fail. Now makechrootpkg uses $GNUPGHOME, with a fallback to ~/.gnupg.

[arch-projects] [archweb] [PATCH 0/2] mirrorlist: Accept GET parameter filters, improve tests
by Genki Sky 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

Hello, please find the following patches. One fixes a bug I noticed where the filter URLs generated by the [mirrorlist] form were not filtering as they should. While fixing this bug, I also improved (I hope!) the testing in the area. Let me know if I'm missing anything. I ran all the test cases, and they still pass. On that note, thanks for making the testing setup very easy to use. It is great to see.

[arch-projects] [PATCH] [namcap] Treat all non-tar files as PKGBUILD files, regardless of filename
by Luke Shumaker 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

From: Luke Shumaker <lukeshu(a)parabola.nu> https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57193 If the user mistakenly passes in some other (non-package, non-PKGBUILD) file, instead of refusing to process it (saying "Error: Cannot process ${filename}"), it will now try to parse it as a PKGBUILD, probably encounter and print at least one error, but finally say "Error: ${filename} is not a valid PKGBUILD". This is actually probably *more* helpful to a confused user who passed in the wrong file. --- namcap.py | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/namcap.py b/namcap.py index b62a2fa..fd62d3c 100755 --- a/namcap.py +++ b/namcap.py @@ -248,9 +248,7 @@ for package in packages: if os.path.isfile(package) and tarfile.is_tarfile(package): process_realpackage(package, active_modules) - elif package.endswith('PKGBUILD'): + else: process_pkgbuild(package, active_modules) - else: - print("Error: Cannot process %s" % package) # vim: set ts=4 sw=4 noet: -- 2.15.1
