[arch-dev-public] OpenSSH-6.0 and DNS love
by Gaetan Bisson 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hi, OpenSSH-6.0 will be out soon [1] and introduces support for ldns [2], a DNSSEC-compliant resolver library providing features similar to dnsutils. To integrate this in our packages, I plan to: - put a new package in [core] called dnssec-anchors; - make dnsutils and ldns depend on dnssec-anchors; - move ldns from [community] to [core]; - make openssh depend on ldns. You can check those packages out in my repo [3]. Comments are welcome. In my opinion, ldns and sister projects unbound [4] and nsd [5] are great steps forward sane mainstream DNS software, and I am glad to see OpenSSH agree. If you are presently using BIND, I strongly recommend you consider switching to them. Cheers.

[arch-dev-public] broken PKGDEST?
by Tobias Powalowski 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Hi, since quite some time, PKGDEST breaks testingpkg etc. It only can upload the arch package and not the other, eg. x64_64 is not able to upload the i686 package. Any ideas or fix for this? It really breaks my workflow. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-dev-public] Remove ftp mirrors from the default list
by Florian Pritz 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Hi, ftp connects way slower than http, especially for lots of small files, since it has to connect back to the client each time. Since I don't see any benefit over http and ftp is old, I propose to remove all the ftp mirrors from the default mirror list. -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net

[arch-dev-public] Handling of upstream bugs in our bug tracker
by Florian Pritz 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hi, We currently have around 70 open linux bugs, most of which we likely won't fix ourselves. I know some of you think we should keep them open for reference until upstream fixed the bug, but I think this just clutters our bug tracker. Given the amount of duplicates I've seen, I also doubt users use the search feature or google so they don't find to reference bugs anyway. Linux bugs are just an example, but there are certainly more and I think we should just tell the reporter to go to upstream and close our bug. If upstream is dead or doesn't have a mailing list/bug tracker, we can keep the bug, but in that case we should think about dropping the package. If it turns out to be a packaging bug we can still reopen it later. -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net

[arch-dev-public] Ruby directory clean up proposal.
by Thomas Dziedzic 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

Background: vendor_ruby was introduced as a new folder in ruby 1.9 so that packages installed by a distribution's packages will have a separate place to stay. Gem is a package manager for installing ruby related programs/libs. Current layout: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby - packages either installed here /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] - or here, this directory contains both pacman installed packages and packages installed using the gem tool. Planned layout: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby - manually installed files by user go here, packages shouldn't touch this /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] - pacman packages built from gems go here /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby - ruby packages installed with pacman which aren't gems go here $HOME/.gem/ruby/[ruby_base_version] - used by the gem command to install packages unmanaged by pacman /etc/gemrc - contains "gem: --user-install" to install user installed gems with gem to $HOME/.gem/gems If the user chooses to install gems using gem, they will have to add the bin directory to the $PATH: export PATH="$PATH:$(ruby -rubygems -e 'puts Gem.user_dir')/bin". Benefits of this change include: Using the proper directory layout introduced in ruby 1.9 (using vendor_ruby). Clean separation of pacman installed packages (/usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] & /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby) from gem installed packages ($HOME/.gem/ruby/[ruby_base_version]). Problems left: The user will still be able to install to the system wide gem directory /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] if they remove --user-install from /etc/gemrc Possible remedies: 1) Leave it as is. If the user runs gem with --no-user-install then gem will still install the files to the system wide directory at /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] and will install binaries to /usr/bin This should provide a clean default and is the easiest path. This option is still better than the one we currently use where we try to install to the system wide location by default. 2) Change all ruby pacman packages to use local _gemdir='/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby' This would free up /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] which we could move to /var/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] for system wide gems installed with the gem command. Not sure if installing gems to /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby is smart yet since this might rely on undocumented behavior and could be "fixed" in future versions of ruby, still have to figure this out. (Optional) We could leave /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] in the $LOAD_PATH in ruby for backwards compatibility so that packages using the old standard would still work. For the optional, the work could range from a simple configure change to patching ruby. 3) ??? I'm currently leaning towards 1 since it will be a simple solution with no changes needed to existing ruby-* packages.

[arch-dev-public] netcf and the libnl rebuild
by Jan Steffens 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Does anyone know netcf[1]? It still needs a rebuild[2] for the libnl 3.2 bump and it seems to be outdated as well (0.1.7 in our repos, 0.1.9 upstream). Ubuntu has libnl 3.2 patches[3] for it, but they don't apply to the upstream 0.1.9 sources. I'd rather have this handled properly instead of just blindly rebuilding against libnl1. [1]: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/netcf/ [2]: https://www.archlinux.org/todo/124/ [3]: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/netcf_0.1.9-2ubuntu3.d…
