[arch-projects] Released namcap 3.1
by Rémy Oudompheng 09 May '11

09 May '11

namcap 3.1 is released (in testing). It features the following : - add checks for files in temp. folders in fhs rule (FS#23539) - add rule javafiles detecting Java class/jar files (FS#23521) - fix: parsepkgbuild executing arbitrary commands from PKGBUILD (FS#23902) - fix: extravars not knowing about $epoch (FS#23966) - fix: mimedesktop rule crashing on packages with symlinks (FS#23952) - fix: bug in script interpreter detection - uses pyalpm to access pacman database pyalpm is introduced as an additional dependency. It allows to access pacman database in a more correct way. The old python code had rot with pacman 3.5 coming. Addition of pkgfile-like capabilities could be studied in order to give more relevant results when not all dependencies are currently installed. Rémy.

[arch-projects] [initscripts] /run is writable by users
by Pierre Schmitz 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi all, Looks like /run is writable by every user but also limited to 10MB. This way you can run a dos attack on the system by filling this fs; even by accident. Do we really need write access by every user? Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-projects] [initscripts] a new releaes
by Tom Gundersen 07 May '11

07 May '11

Hi guys, A few minor bugs have been fixed in git since our last release, so I'd like to push out a new one in the coming week. It would be great if you could let me know of any pending patches you want included. I will at least wait for the /sbin/rc rename from Seblu, but there might be other things I have missed. To make sure I don't forget your patches, the best way is to let me know of your public git repository that I can track :-) Cheers, Tom

[arch-projects] [initscripts] /sbin/rc conflicts with plan9 package
by Tom Gundersen 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi all, I missed this conflict when I merged our new rc script: <https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24082>. The two packages in question are in [community]. I cannot see the conflict with extra/cmus, so I dont know what that is about. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this? We could rename our script, or we could as plan9 packager to rename his I guess... Cheers, Tom

[arch-projects] [RFC] [PATCH] [mkinitcpio] Cleanly stop udev >= 168 as recommended by upstream.
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 03 May '11

03 May '11

N0: udev >= 168 is needed. N1: I guess the order is correct (first cleanup then exit). N2: device-mapper/LVM udev rules must be parsed for initramfs creation to add OPTIONS+="db_persist" >From udev NEWS: The running udev daemon can now cleanly shut down with: udevadm control --exit Udev in initramfs should clean the state of the udev database with: udevadm info --cleanup-db which will remove all state left behind from events/rules in initramfs. If initramfs uses --cleanup-db and device-mapper/LVM, the rules in initramfs need to add OPTIONS+="db_persist" for all dm devices. This will prevent removal of the udev database for these devices.
