[arch-dev-public] x86_64 machines for Arch devs
by Dusty Phillips 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hey guys, I know we all agreed to drop i686 support, but it leaves me with a small problem -- I'm one of the few devs not yet blessed with a 64 bit machine. I was thinking maybe we could use the donation funding to buy x86_64 build boxes for each of us. We've got a lot of donation funding and the income from Schwag would of course help, but we'd probably have to do a donation drive to raise about half the funds. It seems like a good use of the funding to me, and our community is totally awesome, I'm sure it won't be hard to raise it. What do you guys think? In the meantime, I'm going to continue maintaining an i686 repo of my own for a few weeks, but lets face it: this machine is a dinosaur, its time to upgrade! Dusty

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mdadm-2.6.9-1

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

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
