[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mdadm-2.6.9-1
by Tobias Powalowski 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10651 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9122 both states raid is broken for more complex setups. According to my earlier mail about assembling raid arrays i wrote a new hook and install file. It uses mdassemble.static from mdadm tarball which is smaller than mdadm.static and does the assembling job and loading of the needed raid module. How does it work: - If a an array is defined on users system /etc/mdadm.conf, the file will be added to initramfs and used for the assembling things. - If no array was defined it falls back to commandline assembling and a madm.conf file will be created on the fly during bootup. Old command line syntax wasn't changed, uuid support is added (eg. md=0,0900878d:f95f6057:c39a36e9:55efa61b) Last Fix: -fixed booting from partitionable raid, by loading md_mod before assembling. Passed Tests: - Tested normal raid 1 setup with and without mdadm.conf modified. - Tested raid1 partitionable raid with extended and without extended partition. - Tested uuid assembling from commandline I think this is ready to move to core, please signoff. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] abs-2.3.2-1
by Allan McRae 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, As noted in FS#14038, the permissions of the ABS tree in the rsync server were not as they should be. This abs release adjusts the rsync command so that permissions are not copied. I also added an install script to attempt to correct the permissions in peoples ABS trees. I would like a signoff from someone with wrong directory permissions in /var/abs, reporting that they are nicely fixed afterwards. Allan

[arch-dev-public] Orphanage accounting

I did some orphanage accounting earlier today, and I believe the following lists should be useful. Please (re-)adopt whenever you can! == 1. Orphans for i686 that are maintained for x86_64 == bluez-gnome (geoffroy) libassuan (tpowa) openexr (tpowa) == 2. Orphans for both arches that are dependencies of non-orphaned packages in extra == orphan < dependency_of (maintainer) ------------------------------------------------------- allegro < devil (douglas) aubio < ardour (tobias k) bittorrent < archboot (tpowa) giblib < feh (james), scrot (giovanni) glew < enblend-enfuse (tobias) gtkmathview < abiword-plugins (giovanni) gtk-sharp < autopano-sift (tobias) [perhaps make it depend on gtk-sharp2 instead ?] ladspa < ardour (tobias) lensfun < digikam (tpowa) libgnomedb < abiword-plugins (giovanni) libgphoto2 < digikam (tpowa) libiec61883 < dvgrab (giovanni) liblo < ardour (tobias) liblrdf < ardour (tobias) libofa < bmpx (kevin) libtorrent-rasterbar < deluge (hugo) libwpd < abiword-plugins (giovanni) link-grammar < abiword-plugins (giovanni) mime-types < courier-mta (tobias) openslp < cups (andyrtr) opensp < epiphany-extensions (jgc) psiconv < abiword-plugins (giovanni) pth < dirmngr (tpowa) python-numpy < biopython (douglas) tdb < archboot (tpowa) == 3.

[arch-dev-public] Status of X in testing
by Jan de Groot 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Last weekend I've done updates to xorg-server, libdrm, mesa and some drivers. With these updates the last issues with keyboards and touchpads should be solved. I will build these updates for i686 tonight. At this moment we have some open issues: - Big intel memory leaks with DRI2 and UXA - Small intel memory leaks with DRI and EXA - Intel performance with KMS - ATI memory leaks with DRI At this moment, I don't think KMS and DRI2 should be blockers for moving this to extra. KMS doesn't work correctly on all systems, slows things down and given the fact that UXA is a requirement, I don't consider this as stable. Maybe the next kernel will improve things. This leaves us with two blocker bugs: the intel and ati memory leaks. The intel leaks are triggered by desktop effects or compiz, the ATI memoryleaks are triggered by anything DRI related. I don't know how much of this is fixed with the latest libdrm and libgl/mesa.
