[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev 127-1
by Aaron Griffin 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Pushed to testing. Some important changes: * Stock rules are not in /lib/udev/rules.d/ * /etc/udev/rules.d is still respected and should be used for non-stock rules * Custom readme moved to /usr/share/udev. slated for removal later (man pages are superior) * Improved stock rules, will eventually need to clean up our Arch rules... * Possibly others. Please test and let me know how it goes. Also, a x86_64 build would be nice. Cheers, Aaron

In english "pretend" is something like "simulate" or "fake", right? Im sorry. Thats not what i tried to say. "Intend" is the right one. Thank you. -- Hugo

[arch-dev-public] Arch-Sheriff - A script to match NetBSD vulnerability database against Arch Linux packages
by Hugo Doria 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Hi everyone, Some time ago Paulo Matias [1] (member of Arch Linux Brazil) started a very nice project to help improve Arch's security. Paulo created a python script to automatically test Arch's packages against the NetBSD vulnerabilities database. The script can run automatically and generates a text file with the details of all vulnerabilities found. This project is now called Arch-Sheriff (the source is available here [3]) and me and Kessia Pinheiro [2] began to help Paulo in the development. Arch-Sheriff now generates a html page with all vulnerabilities details and a link to them. The page can be found here: http://dev.archlinux.org/~hugo/sheriff/ The idea now is to create a way to notify a package maintainer about the vulnerability and add a way to mark it as fixed in Arch. We also want to create a login so the maintainers can mark all the vulnerabilities that they fixed and a rss feed. Arch-Sheriff is still experimental and there are some things that needs to be fixed. But i think that you guys can see what we pretend and where we are going. :) And, please, tell me what you think about this. Any suggestion is welcome. [1] http://matias.archlinux-br.org [2] http://even.archlinux-br.org [3] http://code.google.com/p/arch-sheriff/ Oh! And BTW, can someone update pacman db in gerolde? I think its a bit old (sheriff got a older version of wireshark and opera, for example). -- Hugo

[arch-dev-public] TeXLive
by Firmicus 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Some of you will remember that I have been hired as a dev to bring texlive to extra... This I hope is very soon going to happen. TeXLive 2008 has been released last week, and after several days of preparation, I am (almost) ready to release the pkgs (perhaps after a few days spent in testing? what do you think?) Now since I have not yet played with the dev tools at all since joining the team, I want to ask a few questions pertaining to the dev wiki "HOWTO be a packager". Your answers should help me avoid a situation where Allan would start saying "Firmicus broke it" ;) So here it goes: I have added the packages to svn and commited them in the trunk. So far so good. Now suppose I want to upload them to testing, so I'll run testingpkg for the upload and then /arch/db-testing on gerolde. OK. What I find unclear is when one needs to "tag" releases (with archrelease). Is this for special situations only? Also, concerning the svn $Id tag, should I add them to all my new PKGBUILDs in trunk? One more thing: source files for everything except the binary sources are bundled by myself and will be put on dev.archlinux.org/~francois/src/. Note that this can add up to several hundred MB! Please tell me if this is going to be a problem. (The reason for this is that the individual TL packages are continuously updated on http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/archive/, so any PKGBUILD using these would be based on a constantly moving target. Bundling my own sources at each release is I think the most practical solution. The sources have a CONTENTS file which indicates the revision number of each TeXLive package it provides). Ah, and my packages have lzma-utils in the makedepends array, which is currently in community. Should I move it to extra? Best, François PS: You can have a look at related discussions here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=418242
