[pacman-dev] 3.5.0 release planning
by Dan McGee 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

It is time for a major release; we've had a bunch of stuff baking in master for a while that should get out to the masses. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Roadmap Open/pending release blockers: * Local database sanity check- ensure we are operating on an updated pacman database. I will have a potential patch for this shortly. * Allan's pkghash branch and work. This should be good to go, we were just sorting out a few lingering issues. * soprovides/sodeps. This may/may not make it, depending upon how fast we can reach consensus and compromise. I'm hopeful. * Translation doings. We need to get Transifex updated a tad now that they have changed the way things work on their end, and make sure we can handle everything through their interface. If anyone wants to head this up, please let me know. This is *not* a call for translations. * Just *one* person to step up and not be lazy: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19735#comment70672 Let me know if you think there are additional items I have left off this list. Not on this list on purpose: hooks, package signing, libcurl. -Dan

You see, "or later" includes v3. And since I want to keep up to date with RMS' licenses, I prefer v3. Because of this, I'd like to know if v3 is acceptable before releasing my work. Some of v2 is sadly susceptible to loopholes.

[pacman-dev] Removing empty directories
by Allan McRae 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

I just noticed this: > pacman -Qk | grep "^warning" warning: filesystem: /opt/ (No such file or directory) warning: hal: /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/ (No such file or directory) warning: hal-info: /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/ (No such file or directory) warning: hicolor-icon-theme: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/ (No such file or directory) warning: network-manager-applet: /etc/gconf/schemas/ (No such file or directory) All these directories are empty in their package. They appear to have been removed when I uninstalled a different package that had files in that directory. Maybe we need some more checking before removing an empty directory. Allan

[pacman-dev] Style questions and concerns
by Dan McGee 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

I've noticed these things a lot in recent patches, so let the discussion commence. 1) typedef-ed structs. This is just a "copy the rest of them" habit, but I really feel we should stop doing this, only typedef-ing when we are making a public-facing type that we don't want to expose the internal contents of. Everything else should remain a struct type, and referred to as such, no typedef and no confusion that the fields are accessible. 2) return(value) style. This is a rule set in stone in the coding style doc but people are continuously breaking it. To be fair, it is silly, but mixing styles sucks way worse. I propose switching this, *BUT* all current patches need to follow current style, and if we switch, it should happen post-3.5.0 and in one commit, not this piecemeal junk. 3) C99. Several patches are introducing things that go further down this road. I don't think they should all be avoided but I'm not sure GCC 3.X (Cygwin is still on this?) supports all of these. * Variable declarations not at the start of a block. I'm not a huge fan of this, as I think having them at the start of the block helps clarify scope a lot better. * Dynamically sized array declarations, e.g. data[numcpus]. I think this needs to be avoided, unfortunately, but it isn't hard to just use MALLOC/FREE in this case. * C99 structure initialization (saw it in the parallelize patches). Please chip in and discuss. -Dan
