I guess not. What's the mime-type for these? Considering mailman uses a whitelist, would anyone be able to construct a decent list that covers pretty much all attachment types we'd want?

[pacman-dev] Bump on upgrade046.py
by Nagy Gabor 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hi! I think this bug has just hurted my system today. Since I have no net in my sublet, I do -Su very rarely, so today's sysupgrade upgraded 415 packages (my system was ~0.7 year-old). I got lots of false fileconflict errors first (probably due to the symlink bug). I was lazy to resolve all of them by hand, and since I never put untracked files out of my home dir, I thought -Suf cannot hurt anything, so I just did -Suf. During sysupgrade, lots of "gconftool-2: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" messages popped up (install scriptlets). Wow :-(. After pacman -Suf had finished, I did some investigation (I didn't want to press ctrl-c during sysupgrade). First I thought, that there is a missing dependency around gconf (testdb said that my local database was consistent), but I was wrong: I had the package dbus-core installed (up-to-date version), which should contain the missing lib (-Ql), but the file libdbus-1.so.3 was not found in /usr/lib. I guess, I've just run into the file relocation bug (otherwise, we have a more serious bug here), showed by upgrade046.py. Briefly, the file relocation check is hacked into the fileconflict check, which is omitted with -f. Bye P.S.: I used pacman 3.2.2-1.

[pacman-dev] noconfirm trivial bug - prompt printed but unused/unnecessary
by Brendan Hide 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi all I'm still getting my head around git and pacman-dev's workflow - I know its not that complicated, just need a bit of time. When using --noconfirm the prompt is presented (odd part) and the user (rightly) is not given an opportunity to confirm: > [ brendan@swift : 12:36:40 : ~/src/pacman ] > :) sudo pacman -Sc --noconfirm > Cache directory: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ > Do you want to remove outdated packages from cache? > [Y/n] <------ > removing old packages from cache... done. > Database directory: /var/lib/pacman/ > Do you want to remove unused repositories? [Y/n] <------ > Database directory cleaned up > [ brendan@swift : 12:36:57 : ~/src/pacman ] > :) Best fix I can think of is to just mention that we're using a default because the --noconfirm flag has been used. The alternative (which is less informative for the user) is to not present the prompt at all. I've inserted 2 strings below. Assuming this is the right change to make, what else would I need to do to ensure that this is compatible with the i18n measures already in place? util.c, lines 641-680: > /* presents a prompt and gets a Y/N answer */ > static int question(short preset, char *fmt, va_list args) > { > char response[32]; > FILE *stream; > > if(config->noconfirm) { > stream = stdout; > } else { > /* Use stderr so questions are always displayed when > redirecting output */ > stream = stderr; > } > > vfprintf(stream, fmt, args); > > if(preset) { > fprintf(stream, " %s ", _("[Y/n]")); > } else { > fprintf(stream, " %s ", _("[y/N]")); > } > > if(config->noconfirm) { > fprintf(stream, "\n"); Replace the 'fprintf(stream, "\n");' line above with something like: if(preset) { fprintf(stream, "%s", _("noconfirm option set, defaulting to Yes\n")); } else { fprintf(stream, "%s", _("noconfirm option set, defaulting to No\n")); } > return(preset); > } > > if(fgets(response, 32, stdin)) { > strtrim(response); > if(strlen(response) == 0) { > return(preset); > } > > if(!strcasecmp(response, _("Y")) || > !strcasecmp(response, _("YES"))) { > return(1); > } else if (!strcasecmp(response, _("N")) || > !strcasecmp(response, _("NO"))) { > return(0); > } > } > return(0); > } -- __________ Brendan Hide

[pacman-dev] [PATCH] xdelta : only handle gz compression specifically
by Xavier 19 May '09

19 May '09

There is apparently no need to handle the re-compression manually when applying a xdelta patch in case of bzip2 or xz. Only gzip needs to be handled specifically for disabling timestamp with the -n option. After this patch, if xdelta is enhanced with xz support (1-line patch), it will be transparent from pacman side.
