[arch-dev-public] cvs diff on old repos
by Dan McGee 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

dmcgee@dublin ~/projects/repos/core/base/pacman $ cvs diff cvs diff: failed to create lock directory for `/home/cvs-core/core/base/pacman' (/home/cvs-core/core/base/pacman/#cvs.lock): Permission denied cvs diff: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/home/cvs-core/core/base/pacman' cvs [diff aborted]: read lock failed - giving up Well this sucks. It would be great if I could tell which packages of mine had local changes that I need to copy over into new SVN checkouts. Same holds true for extra too. -Dan

[arch-dev-public] extra x86_64 database breakage (graphviz maintainer please fix it)
by Thomas Bächler 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

This is a problem in our current version of initscripts: If a package is added in staging, but the PKGBUILD shows an older version, the package and database data become inconsistent: $ cat /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra/graphviz-2.16.1-3/desc %FILENAME% graphviz-2.18-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz %NAME% graphviz %VERSION% 2.16.1-3 %DESC% Creates acircular graph images %CSIZE% 1304315 %MD5SUM% 47e014aa4dc7f3976db49ede4621af97 %FORCE% This causes problems during the upgrade. Please be more careful until our dbscripts have more checks included and never forget to add the PKGBUILD properly.

[arch-dev-public] Rsync-based ABS
by Travis Willard 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

Hey guys, So I think ABS is ready to move to rsync. The final piece, server-side ABS-tree generation, has been completed with help from Jason. I've just committed the svn2abs script to git - take a look at it to get the full details, but in short it does a checkout of the svn repo (or updates a pre-existing checkout), extracts the repo information into the expected format for an ABS tree and stores this in a tmp dir, then rsyncs /srv/abs to the tmp dir to update it. I've tested this a bit on gerolde, and ironed out a few of my initial bugs - the ABS tree currently sitting in /srv/abs was generated using that script. I've made packages (and src PKGBUILD) available at http://dev.archlinux.org/~travis/pkg/ if anyone wants to muck around. The [abs] rsync stanza is currently only set to allow my IP address, so you won't yet be able to sync with the new abs unless you get your IP added (or remove the restriction altogether). svn2abs is designed to be run as a cron-job, maybe once/twice a day or something along those lines to keep /srv/abs relatively fresh. I'm pretty confident in the state of ABS now, so I'm wondering how we'll go about integrating this onto Gerolde, then pushing it out to the users. Things we'll need to do to get this integrated and pushed out: 1) install abs-2.0 on gerolde 2) modify rsync stanza for [abs] in /etc/rsyncd.conf to allow anyone 3) add cronjob for svn2abs 4) push to users I'll need an enabler to handle 1-3, and once it's setup I can take it from there. Anyway, muck around, have fun, see if I missed anything. -- Travis

I checked up on it and it IS orphaned. I'll CC the dev list to see if anyone is interested in it. If not, then perhaps it would be best to move it to community.

[arch-dev-public] Problem with x86_64 repo and db
by Eric Belanger 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Hi, There some problem with the extra x86_64 repo. Acording to the db, the bzr and graphviz packages are at versions: bzr-1.3-1.1 and graphviz-2.16.1-3. But the versions of the packages on the server and which get installed are: bzr-1.3-1 and graphviz-2.18-2 Can someone with more experience with svn or the db fix that? I can file a bug report if needed. I also tried to update darcs for x86_64 but there's a svn conflict: $ extrapkg darcs-2.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 100% 1214KB 1.2MB/s 00:00 File integrity okay. ===> Uploaded darcs-2.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz ===> Commited with "upgpkg: darcs 2.0.0-1" message C ../repos/extra-x86_64/PKGBUILD property 'svnmerge-integrated' set on '../repos/extra-x86_64' ~/svnroot/darcs ~/svnroot/darcs/trunk svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Aborting commit: '/home/eric/svnroot/darcs/repos/extra-x86_64/PKGBUILD' remains in conflict ~/svnroot/darcs/trunk ===> Tagged for extra-x86_64 $ diff /home/eric/svnroot/darcs/repos/extra-x86_64/PKGBUILD PKGBUILD 1c1 < # $Id: PKGBUILD,v 1.10 2007/06/23 16:56:02 pierre Exp $ --- > # $Id: PKGBUILD,v 1.9 2007/06/18 16:26:45 dan Exp $ 15,17d14 < <<<<<<< .working < md5sums=('077420eec437ecdd45d8dc6682ee61fa') < ======= 19d15 < >>>>>>> .merge-right.r11 I also tried to update pidgin for x86_64 but it says thayt there is nothing to commit: $ extrapkg pidgin-2.4.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 100% 8821KB 94.9KB/s 01:33 File integrity okay. ===> Uploaded pidgin-2.4.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz ===> Commited with "upgpkg: pidgin 2.4.1-1" message ~/svnroot/pidgin ~/svnroot/pidgin/trunk Nothing to commit ~/svnroot/pidgin/trunk ===> Tagged for extra-x86_64 The package was still uploaded to gerold and I ran the db script but the package isn't in the repo. I did successfully updated netpbm and devtools so I don't know why the packages above failed.

I just found this on the forums: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46938 This is a list of mirrors and their sync status: http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html I think this is awesome!

[arch-dev-public] ArchISO FTP Installer - Testers Needed
by Simo Leone 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Hey everyone, I'd like to begin testing some preliminary work with the arch livecd system. You can find a livecd rigged up to work as an ftp installer at: http://dev.archlinux.org/~simo/archiso_tests/arch-ftp-live-1206519468.iso This ISO consists of our current installer scripts and a functioning arch livecd containing most of the base package set. It uses the grub boot loader, which is likely to be changed to isolinux in the near future. At this point, it's an i686-only thing, but an x86_64 version will be coming soon. If you've got some time to kill, please give the iso a whirl. You'll find the installer and its documentation in its usual home at /arch/ on the livecd system. It'd be nice to have this tested on a large variety of systems if possible. **I need feedback on the following regarding ISO bootup** - Did the grub loader work as expected? - Did it pick up and load the module for your network hardware? - Did it pick up and load the modules for your disk controllers? - Any kernel panics, freezes, that sort of ugly stuff. Please keep in mind that this is not intended to be production quality at this point, and it's a very early version, so there are still a lot of sharp edges that need to be smoothed out. Thanks for your help, -Simo offtopic: archiso_tests also contains a hacky xfce4 livecd image you might want to play around with, although it's a little oldy moldy.

[arch-dev-public] Problem with gstreamer in testing
by Jason Chu 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

It seems that gstreamer is still tagged for testing even though the packages aren't in there. I know they're JGC's packages but I just wanted to make sure that they're supposed to be out of testing before fixing up svn and the testing db.
