[arch-dev-public] [signoff] glib2 2.24.2-1
by Jan de Groot 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Please signoff for both architectures. Upstream changelog: * Bugs fixed: 578295 gtester has a race condition 619945 GConverterOutputStream triggers assertion and corrupts data 621168 GKeyFile memory leak on Windows platform 616216 glib compile from remote directory fails This release also doesn't contain static libraries anymore. Upstream doesn't ship them by default. As glib2 is a base package now, I don't see the need to specifically enable them as was done in previous versions.

[arch-dev-public] pkgstats: second try
by Pierre Schmitz 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Hi all, two years ago (http://www.archlinux.org/news/419/) I created a stupid script to get some stats about package usage from our users. I did some improvements. The client now submits the mirror used by pacman. On the server side statistics about the country (looked up by geoip) are stored and more important all data are stored with a timestamp. This way we should be able to see usage trends etc.. It would also be possible to have users submit data regularly without messing up all stats. For now please have a look at the client itself. Check the output of "-s" and make sure you are using 2.0-2; especially if you use a password in your mirrorlist. ;-) The results can be found at https://www.archlinux.de/?page=PackageStatistics It's quite rough and needs a lot of optimization. It also just shows the overall stats. Note, that my goal is to collect data that are actually useful to us and not just nice to see. If you have any suggestions or ideas let me know. I think once this is working properly we should make another announcement to get helpful stats for a package cleanup or some mirroring improvements. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-dev-public] PostgreSQL 8.4.4-4 in [testing]
by Dan McGee 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

I put a new version (8.4.4-4) of Postgres in [testing] tonight that fixes quite a few issues and wanted to just give it a few days to bake before pushing it to extra. Let me know if you see any issues with the new package. * FS#20556 - [postgresql] should be compiled with more options and libs, for a features reach package * FS#16507 - [postgresql] $PG_ROOT created with incorrect permissions * FS#19687 - [postgresql] no logrotate config * FS#18756 - [postgresql] package doesn't have contribs except adminpack -Dan P.S. If you tried 8.4.4-3, ignore the fact that it ever existed...yes there were conflicting files in the two packages.
