Updated list of things that need done before release: (** indicates patches available) (* indicates a patch needing revision is available)
1**) Nagy's -D patch should be included.
Done. See my recent patch sent to the ML that might provoke some more discussion but might not be a blocker for 3.4.0.
2) Revert/fix the cross-build library linking patch as this forces some linking that it should not. Dan said he was looking at this (?).
I think this is better now? Matthias Lanzinger, can you confirm? Did I bust it up even more? :P
3) Fix "makepkg --source" issue with split packages and install/changelog files (FS#18831) Related bugs FS#18394 and FS#16004 can be fixed at the same time. I have most of a patch prepared.
I am still not a huge fan of the checksums business when it comes to source packages. Let me see if I can formalize my thoughts on that in another email.
4**) Pull in other stuff from working branches - Nagy has another couple of minor patches - Xavier has a couple (I am not sure about asciidoc one... but I do not see a better way) - I have few patches (all makepkg ones are well tested, pacman -Qo "functional which" could do with a final review)
Yes, I need to sit down and pull some more and do some patch review, the reason yours have gotten backed up is because a lot of them were behind the above (--source and integrity checks).
5*) phonon/qt issue patch:
http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2010-February/010429.html - needs cleanup first.
Looks like we never got a second proposal from Nagy he said might be coming?
6*) Include globbing patch: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2010-March/010550.html - see my recent post about potential fix needed for no match case.
I think this is just about ready to go, I'll try to look over it very soon.
7) "pacman -Sg group" interactivity: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2010-March/010516.html
Not exactly sure what to do here; part of the issue is how little I use groups myself so I don't have a lot invested in this.
8*?) Tidy up bash_completion stuff? (FS#16630)
The poster disappeared and he tried to sneak a license change in there, so that just hit a bit of a roadblock. I'd like to improve this so I might just sit down and hack at it myself.
9) Look at Flyspray roadmap: http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=index&tasks=&project=3&due=69 and remove anything not being implemented.
This will probably wait until the rest of the dust settles, but yes it should be done.
10) Write NEWS...
Always looking for a volunteer to help. :)
11) vercmp changes? Â Trying to avoid upgrade issues like we had with openssl.
Done, thanks for reviewing. -Dan
