[arch-general] any packages on the repo are duplicated
by Angel Velásquez 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi, I've syncing my local mirror today and seems to be duplicated packages of 'any' architecture on i686 directory for example kde-l10n-de-4.3.0-1-any.pkg.tar.gz is respectively on any dir and i686 dir See the log of pkgsync on [1]: db-clean should fix that iirc, can others mirrors admin checks if this still happening? I reviewed mirror.archlinux.com.ve on 'any' [2] architecture and 'i686' [3], 'x86_64' [4] and as I said 'any' packages still existing on other repos.

All boot OK, (custom kernel no initrd) no special setups, like raid or lvm. My usb devices are with the correct perms (4-in-1 reader, pendrive, ipod, mp3 player). The firmware for my printer is loaded OK, and kvm-88 still boot both arches (Arch Linux kernel):) One sidenote, this version support ACL, so I guess that is better now to switch /dev from ramfs to tmpfs in initscripts.

[arch-general] KDE 4.3: packaged and split problem
by Alexander Kotlerman 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

On kde 4.3 packaging and splitting: I am trying to file a bug report, but the e-mail is taking forever for my registration (does that sound right?) so if anyone else has this problem, please post a bug report, i'm going to sleep. I would like to share my install experience so far: I have not been able to upgrade. It complains about "kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons requires kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball" which doesn't exist. Second, doing a fresh install by doing a `sudo pacman -Rd kde kde-meta && sudo pacman -Syy && sudo pacman -S kde` downloads a bunch of the packages, and also does not download a bunch of packages (mostly from kdeedu, kdemultimedia, and i think another that I forget. I tried a few different mirrors (especially those that updated recently) with no luck. When searching for said packages, pacman looks through mirrorlist. No avail.

[arch-general] Bind 9.6.1-1 patched against dynamic update ddos?
by Fredrik Eriksson 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi, I've seen that there's a dynamic update ddos attack that is widely available on the net and after looking for the solution it seems that bind's latest patch (9.6.1-P1) solves this problem. So my question is more like this, is extra/bind 9.6.1-1 in the repository the same as bind 9.6.1-P1? The build date of the current package in extra/ says the 18 July but the homepage of BIND says the latest patch was published the 28 July. Best regards Fredrik Eriksson

[arch-general] [arch-releng] 2009.08-RC1 snapshot images for public testing
by Gerhard Brauer 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi, We're close to releasing new official Arch installation media. The release date is planned latest on 09. August 2009, but we like to have pacman 3.3 on the snapshots if possible. These media will bring *a lot* of new things, so we would like some broader testing. The most important changes since 2009.02: - usage of new AIF installer - better disk editor with support for dm_crypt and lvm setups - support for automated installations (deprecates quickinst) - aufs instead of unionfs - smarter, faster, better boot device detection (esp. for usb users) - better date/time setting - refactored grub installation routines - and more... To test this, you can try many things: - the interactive and automatic procedures. - net & cd-based installations - usb vs cd-rom images, isolinux vs grub. We would like to have the following tested: - time/timezone setting with UTC and localtime - If the boot device gets detected properly during archiso boot hook - grub bootloader installation - If USB images detect the USB controller properly Our bugtracker: http://bugs.archlinux.org/proj6 Mailing list: http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-releng New installation guide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Official_Arch_Linux_Insta… You can get the RC's from: http://build.archlinux.org/isos/ We currently set up also a torrent tracker. If ready we will also post the torrent file-links here to relieve build.archlinux.org. Happy testing! Archlinux Release Team

Udev is replaceable with static dev or even older version without breaking too many things (though this new libudev and libgudev will change that a bit), for glibc, it means binaries compiled on arch can't ever run on older kernels, so we're talking about different things here.
