[pacman-dev] 3.4.1 release plans
Hey guys, We've had a handful of fixes go into maint so it might be time to think about a 3.4.1 release. Some other pending issues to think about before we release: * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19969, pacman download issues from googlecode.com domain. Looks like not our problem so will probably close this out. * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20022, Download progress and completion issues during repo sync. I saw this before the release in git, and it seems like someone else hit it too. It is always involving kernel.org HTTP that we've seen so far. * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19854, --ignore is ignored. This is the highest priority issue and something I definitely want to get in 3.4.1; I have started on a fix and it shouldn't be too bad but some code and checks need to move around. * http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19853, No prompting about groups. Might even get fixed with the above, and with 24 votes, apparently people do care (but not enough to answer the patches welcome call). Thoughts/comments/concerns welcome as always. -Dan

Agreed, not a bug.
I do not think anything can be done for this at this stage as it seems to be a very rare occurrence and we have no idea why...
I guess this also covers the IgnoreGroup configuration option doing nothing?
One more: * makepkg crashes in terminals without colours. There is a patch on this list for that and I asked for further info but I do not think there was a response. There is an easy "hack fix" that could be done for the time being. Allan

And something we should probably call out more closely in NEWS: the old auto-inclusion of changelogs is no more and you need to have a changelog=myfile in the PKGBUILD to get it. (commit 2cabe336eb33e443819a1d9d46b0c5bcceaa7e87) -Dan
So, a round up of remaining issues:
Dan, did that get fixed? I do not remember seeing the patch... This is the only blocker in my opinion (if that).
I suggest we pass on this. It is probably a big change to pull in for a _bug fix_ release.
Fixed on my working-maint branch and was just sent to this list.
We currently have: - makepkg: .... - changelogs are now included via the "changelog" variable I suppose it could be highlighted more, but all the prototypes have it too. Allan
