[arch-dev-public] Generating rebuild lists
by Allan McRae 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi, I have attached an updated version of my rebuild list script that now uses readelf instead of ldd thanks to Thomas' suggestion. The advantages of this compared to ldd are massive in terms of speed but also mean that you don't need to use a chroot to avoid false positives. Usage: ./rebuildlist /path/to/package/dir lib1 [lib2 ...] On my laptop (not blazingly fast in cpu or hard-drive terms), this takes ~15min to scan my package cache (all testing, core and extra and whatever I have from community). So this is now reasonable for people to run on the new server and we will never miss a rebuild again! Any comments on the script before I make the git patch to push it to devtools?

So I looked it up and here are the most installed video drivers: xf86-video-vesa 83,17 % # part of the xorg group nvidia-utils 43,27 % xf86-video-intel 19,22 % xf86-video-nv 13,09 % xf86-video-ati 10,74 % catalyst-utils 9,05 % xf86-video-vmware 4,49 % nvidia-173xx-utils 4,22 % xf86-video-fbdev 3,65 % xf86-video-vga 3,21 % nvidia-96xx-utils 2,74 % xf86-video-radeonhd 2,19 % -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre(a)jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

[arch-dev-public] [signoff] ncurses-5.7-2.1
by Allan McRae 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Signoff for ncurses-5.7-2.1 on x86_64 only. It seems most major distros use --chtype=long for their x86_64 ncurses builds due to binary compatibility with old versions of ncurses. So, some binary blobs may need this (see FS#13351). The wide character library (that all our packages are linked against), is not changed. I would like a signoff from someone using a binary blob that links to ncurses. Allan

Hi, There will be an upcoming update to faad2, ffmpeg and x264. Both faad2 and x264 will have an soname bump so a rebuild will be neccessary. I'll do the rebuilds. I'll also check for updates and trivial bug reports to do at the same time.. The packages that will be rebuilt are: ==faad2 rebuild avidemux cmus faad2 ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins mpd muine mythmusic streamripper vlc xine-lib ==x264 rebuild avidemux ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins motion mplayer opal transcode vlc x264
