If there is no objection, I will upload the new package tomorrow.
Ionu? : Would it be possible to add opencl in the provides line of nvidia-

the bug suggest to use libcl.
we are settle to use opencl from know own and nvidia-opencl-headers as
optional dependency?

In the bug report I suggested to use libcl to mimic OpenGL (provides=(libgl)).
It is probably clearer to use "opencl" instead. Nvidia-opencl-headers could be
an optional depency.

I'm against providing these packages. Gpu calculation not that widely
used and we already have the libs in our repos to decode movies in
hardware.
I don't think we should mess our official repos with one/two more closed
source packages when we have no real need for them!
You should keep them in AUR or if they get enough votes bring them to
community.

As I told you I have network issues with my r8169 based card:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20882
And because we want to move new Xorg/Mesa packages together with the
new kernel I suggest to wait for .1 or .2 kernel.

-Andy
==================== Changes in man-pages-3.30 ====================
New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
kexec_load.2
Andi Kleen
New page documenting kexec_load(2)
Michael Kerrisk
Add license
Michael Kerrisk
Incorporate fixes from Eric W. Biederman
Eric noted that a few instances of "virtual" should
be "physical" and noted:
There is an expectation that at hand off from sys_kexec
that virtual and physical addresses will be identity
mapped. But this isn't the old Alpha booting convention
where you have a virtual address and then you have to
parse the page table to figure out where your kernel
was actually loaded. Michael Kerrisk
Additions and edits by mtk
Various wording and layout improvements.
Fixed the name of a constant:
s/KEXEC_ARCH_I386/KEXEC_ARCH_386/. Added RETURN VALUE
and ERRORS sections. Added VERSIONS section
Note that CONFIG_KEXEC is needed
Removed details of using syscall; the reader can find them
in syscall(2).
Added some details for KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT.
Revised the text mentioning the kernel header, since it is
not yet exported, and it's not certain that it will be.
lio_listio.3
Michael Kerrisk
New page documenting lio_listio(3)
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
reboot.2
Andi Kleen
Document LINUX_REBOOT_KEXEC
unshare.2
Michael Kerrisk
Document CLONE_NEWIPC
Michael Kerrisk
Document CLONE_NEWNET
Lucian Adrian Grijincu
Improve description of CLONE_NEWNET
CLONE_NEWNET creates a new network namespace from scratch.
You don't have anything from the old network namespace in
the new one. Even the loopback device is new.
Michael Kerrisk
Document CLONE_SYSVSEM
Michael Kerrisk
Document CLONE_NEWUTS
Michael Kerrisk
Relocate discussion of CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CLONE_NEWNS section
And rewrite the EPERM description to be more general in
preparation for the new flags to be documented.
Global changes
--------------
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Add reference to feature_test_macros(7)
Some pages simply list feature test macro requirements in
the form:
#define #GNU_SOURCE
#include
For these pages, add a "See feature_test_macros(7)" comment
on the "#define" line.
Various pages
David Prevot
Use greater consistency in NAME line
(Remove definite article at start of descriptiive clause.)

As I have such a chipset in my netbook I have made a PKGBUILD which can
be installed alongside the kernel without any conflicts using
compat-wireless: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42670
Just remove the boradcom-wl package and install this one. So far its
working fine. This driver is a lot faster in scanning and associating
with an AP than the closed driver. Unfortunately you cannot connect to
any channel above 12 (the crda package does not help here). But well,
let's not forget that this is still a staging driver.

Subject: [arch-dev-public] Package maintainers wanted - heimdal, db, abs
Message-ID: <4CD4F865.2070001@archlinux.org>
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone wanted to maintain the following packages:
heimdal, db: I maintain these only because they are deps of things I
use but really do not use them at all. They could be much better served
by someone who does. These also have fairly regular soname bumps (even
on minor releases of heimdal) so you will need to start rebuilds every
so often.
abs: I really have no motivation to fix any issues found in this and at
the moment an updated version of the package is wasting away in [testing]...

Sure. Both usb-devices and lsusb work as they should.
However, usbhid-dump is linked to libusb-1.0.so.0, which I don't have on
my system:
usbhid-dump: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Since it's a new thing I assume it's no big deal...

The bug is fixed. One patch needs to be reverted. See
upstream report for details. I guess it will also go into the
stable .36 tree. So please also revert it and push a -4 pkg or wait for
36.1 release.
With this patch reverted I can give signoffs for my x86_64 systems.

I'd prefer to at least test the .1. With the new kernel I had random
reboots on my desktop and high power consumption on my netbook.

Message-ID: <201011101133.32502.andrea@archlinux.org>
Hi DEVs/TUs,
currently we have 700 (counting both arches and any) orphans packages in
[extra].
As member of the orphans team, I made a list[1] of these packages and I'd like
to move them to Unsupported.
If some DEV wants to keep a package simply cross it out (adoption is not
required, but it would be nice) or reply to this mail.
If some TU wants to maintain a package in [community], please write the name
into the "Candidate to [community]" section, *DO NOT* cross it out. Or reply
to this mail.
I think that a week is enough time for this job. 17th November I will move the
remaining packages to Unsupported and the candidates to [community].
Cheers

Message-ID: <20101110215628.0183273d@workstation64.home>
New Xfce 4.8pre1 release is out for testing. It requires some
important packaging changes. I'm running it on my two systems at home
and it's in a usable state.
But as expected there are some issues with power management und panel
plugins. Because I need user feedback I'd like to bring it early
straight to testing. I don't like to miss our devtools and don't want to
create a new Xfce4-unstable repo. I don't need it that often like the
gnome packagers do.
Xfce packages in testing wouldn't harm anything else. The final release
is expected for Jan. 16th 2011.

I'd prefer to only have candidates for core/extra in testing.
Especially if it should stay there for months. Therefore please go with
an unstable repo. Having these packages in testing makes it less
attractive/usable for users and more important any rebuilds that cover
xfce packages will be a pain.

There won't be RCs. Just pre1-pre3 and then the final release.
Xfce has mainly deps to gtk2/glib and itself not to one of the .so
bumping known libs. I don't expect a lib .so bump until the release.

By candidates I meant packages that you also would have moved directly
to core/extra; not what upstream calls rcs.

You cannot know what happens till January. And its still a prerelease
that is not meant for every day use I guess. I don't think such package
should go to testing. Not breaking testing on purpose was e.g. the point
of introducing staging.
Don't get me wrong, it's nice you'd like to provide such packages, but
if you just need a place to put them into don't abuse testing and just
create a dedicated repo...it's not that hard and we could remove it next
year when done.

It seems the Cuda/OpenCL/vdpau headers are back in nvidia-utils version

Sorry for the noise, I was misled by a post on the Nvidia forum. The changelog
still say (see bellow) that the headers are no longer packaged with the
driver.
Following the suggestion of Andreas, I will try to bring them to [community]
if they get enough votes in AUR.
St?phane
== NVIDIA_Changelog ==
[...]
* Stopped packaging and installing OpenGL, VDPAU, CUDA, and OpenCL
header files with the driver. Those interested in these files can
get them from their Linux distributions' packages, where available,
or upstream from:
OpenGL header files (gl.h, glext.h glx.h, glxext.h):
http://www.opengl.org/registry/
VDPAU header files (vdpau.h and vdpau_x11.h):

Note that while libvdpau.so is still included in 260.xx drivers,
it will be removed from a future release series in early 2011.
Distributors are encouraged to package libvdpau.so from

Upstream bugfix update - the release announcement explicitly mentions
this one:
"Fixed problem with special case route targets ('remote_host'), which
could cause filling of the routing table with random garbage. Thanks to
Teodo MICU and Gert Doering for finding and fixing this issue."

Upstream update.
Signoff both,
Allan
* Noteworthy changes in release 8.7 (2010-11-13) [stable]
** Bug fixes
cp, install, mv, and touch no longer crash when setting file times
on Solaris 10 Update 9 [Solaris PatchID 144488 and newer expose a
latent bug introduced in coreutils 8.1, and possibly a second latent
bug going at least as far back as coreutils 5.97]
csplit no longer corrupts heap when writing more than 999 files,
nor does it leak memory for every chunk of input processed
[the bugs were present in the initial implementation]
tail -F once again notices changes in a currently unavailable
remote directory [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5]
** Changes in behavior
cp --attributes-only now completely overrides --reflink.
Previously a reflink was needlessly attempted.
stat's %X, %Y, and %Z directives once again print only the integer
part of seconds since the epoch. This reverts a change from
coreutils-8.6, that was deemed unnecessarily disruptive. To obtain
a nanosecond-precision floating point time stamp for %X use %.X;
if you want (say) just 3 fractional digits, use %.3X. Likewise
for %Y and %Z.
stat's new %W format directive would print floating point seconds.
However, with the above change to %X, %Y and %Z, we've made %W work
the same way as the others.

Subject: [arch-dev-public] PulseAudio in [extra]
Message-ID:
I would like to propose moving support for the PulseAudio sound server into
Arch Linux proper. This would also be in preparation for the eventual arrival of
Gnome 3, since it will be unlikely we can effectively maintain the needed
GStreamer patch any more.
To that effect I have created a plan:
---
To provide PulseAudio in [extra]...
Move the following packages from [community] to [extra]:
- libasyncns
- rtkit
- pulseaudio (split into pulseaudio and libpulse)
- alsa-plugins
- pulseaudio-alsa
Configuration package, contains /etc/asound.conf
depends on pulseaudio, alsa-plugins
- pavucontrol
- paprefs
- pulseaudio-mixer-applet
- ossp
provides osspd OSS emulator
Rebuild the following packages with PulseAudio support:
- sdl (sdl-pulse in AUR)
- openal (openal-pulse in AUR)
- libgstreamer0.10-good
split gstreamer0.10-pulse (in community)
- libao
split libao-pulse (in community)
- libcanberra
split libcanberra-pulse (in community)
will be a split plugin instead of a wholly rebuilt copy
- gnome-media
split gnome-media-pulse (in community; rebuilt with --enable-pulse)
- gnome-settings-daemon
split gnome-settings-daemon-pulse (in community; rebuilt without
gstreamer patch)
Provide the following groups:
- pulseaudio-gnome
pulseaudio-alsa
libcanberra-pulse
gstreamer0.10-pulse
gnome-media-pulse
gnome-settings-daemon-pulse
---
One of the problems of PulseAudio is that it pretty much becomes the default as
soon as you install it:
- The client library will start the server if it's not running.
- pulseaudio will install .desktop files that autostart the server together
with Gnome or KDE.
Splitting libpulse would prevent that, but I believe we still need to test
on a per-application basis whether we can enable PulseAudio support (with a
dependency on libpulse) without breaking fallback to ALSA on systems without
pulseaudio.
Some packages (like sdl and openal) look for libpulse dynamically and will
still work even though the lib is missing, so they only need an optional
dependency.
I would be maintaining split -pulse packages where needed.

A tentative repo to test this out wouldn't be a bad idea, IMO.

AFAIK that repo was called "community". As for splitting up packages for
pulse support: whenever depending on libpulse still keeps pulseaudio
support optional, I'd rather depend on libpulse than split the package
itself.

I do not see any "libpulse". What I meant was a trial for this
proposal. I wouldn't know whether we want these rebuilds to flood
[testing], but maybe I'm wrong. As I can see, there are quite a good
deal of apps with an option for PA support. I'd want to make sure this
libpulse method can actually work for them.

Personally, I do not have any objection as long as you make sure it is always
possible to have a system running KDE, sdl, vlc and mplayer and other popular
multimedia applications without needing to install one of these packages or to
run the PA server.
According to PA author [1], "adopting PA in a distribution is a fair amount of
work, given that it interfaces with so many different things at so many
different places". It also seems that one has to be very carefull to avoid
breakages with new releases (even on minor releases).
Out of curiosity, what would the consequences to have all these news packages
in [community] instead of [extra]?

like Jan pointed out, it would be a paint in the ass to maintain
unsupported patch that is adding support back for gstreamer(like we do
now and is not the arch way)

PulseAudio is already available in [community], minus the libpulse
split. Moving it to [extra] would allow us to have (optional)
dependencies on it.

Hi all
Someone (which shall remain nameless unless privately asked) on the bugtracker has been demonstrating inappropriate behavior. This includes, but not limited to:
* Insulting developers for not accepting certain bugs
* Insulting anyone who disagrees with him, sometimes subtle but definitely there
This has occurred multiple times in the past as well (I looked it up).
From my point of view, he clearly is not a developer.
Any recommendations on how to proceed? I do not wish to continue this issue on the bugtracker itself.
Thanks,

Could you send some more details to the private list? I have no idea
about which bug report we are talking here. And its always better to try
to resolve such issues privately first isntead of risking escalation in
public.

Side note: make test does no longer pass with this version. It might be
just the test itself that is broken though (tested different arches and
also on Ubuntu). But I need to look into this though.

New upstream release. Please signoff.
Anybody ever heard of the mentioned "libpipeline"? It seems so far it
hasn't been packaged in any form for Arch. I'll have to bring this in
when 2.6.0 comes out.
-Andy
Changes:
This release reduces installation footprint by building much of man-db
as shared libraries, and permits building with an external libpipeline
(http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/). man-db 2.6.0 will stop shipping its
own copy of libpipeline. Among other things, this release fixes an
assertion failure on 'man -l', fixes catman saving corrupted pages in
some locales, and prevents mandb from repeatedly rescanning manual page
hierarchies on every run when a whatis entry turns into a broken link.

Looks like it is a project he started as a spinoff of what man-db
does, reading the site. So it isn't too much of a surprise you haven't
seen it before, people like to home-roll this type of stuff.

About this release
------------------
This is a quick release to correct errors in man-db 2.5.8: some systems
encountered test failures due to excessive sensitivity to directory
ordering, and './configure --disable-nls' was broken.

Subject: [arch-dev-public] Doing a rebuild of [core]?
Message-ID: <4CE4A8A2.3010909@archlinux.org>
Hi,
I was thinking of doing a fairly large rebuild of packages in [core] for
the following reasons:
- The toolchain is quite good at the moment and many packages have not
been built in a long time so could use a refresher build to take
advantage of what the newer toolchain offers (~15 packages are > 1 year
old). I expect a toolchain update to happen in the next few weeks so
this is a good time.
- Get as many packages to .xz format as possible. This will give us
more room to play on the install CD (important with dual arch ISO where
I believe space is tight)
- Get all packages into the package pool. It is nicer to have
packages in one place rather than across multiple folders. Once all
packages are in the pool directories, the clean-up script can be a lot
easier (of course that is a long term implication). It would also get
rid of the core/os/any folder.
- Give PKGBUILDs a refresher... package() functions, no "|| return
1", etc. Make sure packages build with an updated toolchain.
- Deal with the few [core] package issues on the Unimportant Rebuild
List
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Unimportant_Rebuild_List).
Given the goals mentioned there, it is obvious that regularly updated
packages do not need to be part of the rebuild. Looking at the
packages, there would be about 100 rebuilds all up. So it would result
in a bunch of signoff emails... But I would start with the oldest
packages and work through the list fairly slowly so this will hopefully
not be an issue.
Any objections/suggestions?

What update do you expect? Usually a rebuild is useful to catch
up latest major gcc improvements. Gcc4.6 is still in an early
stage. Maybe we should delay it until the gcc4.6 release.
The toolchain improvements over the last 2 years were of minor
advantages. So I don't expect major performance improvements.
Getting the packages into xz compression format and pkg pool would be
nice though.
One concern for a rebuild right now: most packagers allowed for
pushing packages into core haven't been much online lately. Not sure
if they can spend that much time. Sadly "makeworld" has died. But I
remember Daniel made such a rebuild script locally (was at gcc4.3
release?).

I expect binutils in the next couple of weeks (they have branched) and
probably a glibc release given Fedora 14 is released with what is
usually considered an RC glibc release.
Gcc-4.6 is actually in stage 3 (bug fix only), but they still have a
large number of P1 bugs to get rid of before release. But given it took
a few months to sort out the toolchain issues after the initial gcc-4.5
release, I would much prefer doing this before gcc-4.6...

Fair point. I was never expecting much help actually doing the rebuilds
as this is a very low priority task... and keeping [core] as pristine as
possible is probably not much of an obsession for people other than me!
Also, there is no real rush in getting this done. So I do not think
packaging manpower will be an issue as long as people can give signoffs
for the packages that are built.

That's right, I made such a rebuild script. But I'm not really sure if I
have it any longer. Have to check it at home. It was a hackish bash
script which increased the pkgrel variable and rebuild the package,
that's all.
I'm not that close to the toolchain changes and its improvements, so if
you think it's time for that go ahead. :)

We have to use the package() function and to remove the ||return 1 stuff. I
don't think that do this job with a script is a good idea.
Anyway, count on me for this rebuild.

Dito, could help also. Btw: We put it into testing first anyway, so the
permission to move them to core is not really a blocker here.
Allan, how do we chosse packages? I could easily do a query like "show
me all packages which are older than xx" etc.. Just let me know.

I have a list that I will put somewhere with all packages that are not
.xz format (except those that need to stay .gz) and not in the package
pool directory sorted by date since last built. I will dump it to a
TODO list/wiki page at some stage.

I'd say just create a todo list and maybe create a check list about
what to do with those packages then. (e.g. package functions, removing
|| return 1 or look for an update in general.)

Subject: [arch-dev-public] FYI: moved old isos to archive
Message-ID:
Hi all,
just to let you know: I have moved isos from 2008 and older to our
archives. They are of no use and recently we found out that at least one
tier1 mirror had excluded them which caused some broken symlinks.
Greetings,
Pierre

Maybe only I missed it: I just found that all my packages that used to
pickup the "ChangeLog" file don't show anything in pacman -Qc!
http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=2cabe336eb33e443819a1d9d46b0c5bcceaa7e87
It seems I missed the note in the NEWS file of pacmans 3.4.0 release.
Just a heads up.
Is it worth the work to update the changelog at all? Any plans on
integrating a Changelog to the packages website? Do we need some
convention how to order and format the file?

Yeah, we didn't do a great job of publishing this behavior change.
Sorry about that.

I try to update mine (although they aren't being included, whoops) on
big changes- bug fixes and changing configure flags count, but a minor
version bump without Arch-specific changes just adds noise. I think
most people are using something similar to GNU changelog format.
It would unfortunately be a bit more work to add these to the website,
as they are not in the db.tar.gz file, and all of the data for the
site comes out of those.

I don't think it's worthwhile to add ChangeLog support to the website.
Personnally, I've started to remove ChangeLog from my packages.
Usually it's just upstream update plus when another dev rebuild/fix
your package they forget or don't bother to update the ChangeLog. I'm
not the only one doing that. I update the abs tree daily and there is
a definite trend going on about removing ChangeLog from the repos.
The pacman package doesn't even have a ChangeLog. ;)

I made a wiki page with a list of packages to be rebuilt and added a bit
of annotation:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/Core_Rebuild_List
I did not use the usual TODO list as I think the order and annotation is
important and the fact that this is not a usual rebuild as there is no
timeline on when it should really be done. But if people want a real
TODO list, I can create it with a link to that wiki page.

Message-ID: <4CE62011.40304@archlinux.org>
While looking through bugs for [core] packages, I notice that there are
a large number of bug report for these three packages. In total they
account for ~13% of the bugs in the tracker!
Firstly, I want to clarify that I'm not here to point fingers at anyone
for not dealing with these bugs. We all only have limited time...
But given these are some of the uniqueness of Arch, I wonder what we _as
a group_ could to do to improve this situation? Perhaps organize a
hack-a-thon on IRC one day? Or we could advertise for help, with the
selection criterion being a git repo provided by the applicant showing
they can do stuff?
Comments/ideas?

Ditto. I've tried to get into the habit a few times, but seeing
changelogs with the last entry being made over a year ago does not
help.

Subject: [arch-dev-public] mailx package
Message-ID: <4CE67F2D.1010503@archlinux.org>
Hi,
I was looking at the mailx package and was wondering what we should do
with it.
We grab the package source for "mailx-8.1.1-fixed" on
ftp.archlinux.org... but I have no idea what is "fixed" about it and we
still patch the Makefile and for gcc-4. It also does not use our
CFLAGS/LDFLAGS when building.
There are options here:
1) grab "updated" cvs snapshot from OpenBSD, which is apparently where
Debian gets it from. I'm not sure where exactly the cvs repo is though...
2) use heirloom-mailx (a.k.a. nail). At least I can find a tarball from
that, even if it has not seen a release in a couple of years. This was
requested in the bug tracker but was closed dues to no-one being
motivated to change it after several years.
3) use GNU mailutils. It looks actively developed (had a release in
September), and is apparently fully compatible. However, it also has
more features and so is not as lightweight... probably going from 100KB
to 1MB.
Opinions?

Any reason why you are touching my pkg? I can't remember a bug report
or a mail from you.
I've just seen it on Allan's list for the core rebuilds.
But shouldn't the rebuilds start _after_ a toolchain bump itself he
expected this after a binutils and glibc release?
For the dependencies I'm no more sure about our own rules. Yes, a
command line editor is known to run from a shell but it's technically
not a linked dep we need to install the nano pkg.
In the past we agreed that it can be expected to have the whole base
group installed on any Arch users system at runtime and the base-devel
group and build time and so we didn't add additional deps needed from
these groups to build and run the packages. Did we change that? Would
the Arch iso installer fail? Or is it just for perfection?

I am _really_ sorry for this Andreas.
I thought that my help was needed here and a that a rebuild wasn't a problem
for you.
Sorry to Eric, Tobias and Thomas too, I hope that I didn't annoyed them
updating lilo, libusb, wireless-regdb.
Really was not my intention.

Hey, no problem. I'm happy for every help I can get. But usually I'm not
one of the inactive devs ;)
I didn't know there was a problem with nano's deps. So what about the
add 'sh' for the install script thingy? Why is it needed? If we want to
have a shell installed to make pacman happy for install scripts we could
also add "sh" to the pacman pkg deps.

My rule of thumb:
* For makedepends we can assume to have base and base-devel installed.
* For depends we should list all dependencies; especially for packages
that are in [core].
* For core packages one also need to make sure that everything called
from the install script is included in the deps (e.g. awk, sed etc.)
This is important for the installer and building chroots; so pacman
knows the correct order to install these packages. To test this just try
something like pacman -Sy nano -r . And no, this does not even
install pacman in the chroot, so we cannot really assume its deps here
neither.

That is exactly what I did to get the list of extra "deps" needed to
install all [core] packages. It prevents possible "failure running
install script" (or something like that) lines when installing which
used to be quite common if you did not install the whole of base (and
who really wants to do that...).

I started the rebuild before the toolchain bump given that I know the
current toolchain is about as good as it gets. Also, I doubt there will
be much gain from either of those bumps, especially given I will stick
to the bfd linker in binutils for the time being.

Subject: [arch-dev-public] [signoff] filesystem 2010.11-1
Message-ID:
Hi all,
I recently adopted the orphaned package filesystem and made a little
review/rewrite. Some of the changes may be questionable so don't
hesitate to give suggestions.
* add correct deps; the install scripts needs bash and coreutils
* sync gshadow to group (fixes FS#19869
* Rewrite PKGBUILD and the install script to make it more readable
* Add /usr/local to PATH
* There were a lot of discussion about this. However there are not
very strong pros and cons.
* I decided to add it because:
* If we include the /usr/local folders its natural to also include
them in PATH
* means if we really don't want /usr/local in PATH this subtree
should be removed from the filesystem package completely.
* There is no real technical downside in adding them; not adding it
however has a little disadvantage for those who like to use /usr/local
* Added /usr/local/etc/ as required by FHS
* Higher level dirs override lower ones in PATH now
* allow login from serial console; see FS#18578
* Add ::1 to hosts file (needed if ipv6 is used)
* Don't try to guess the shell we are running
* Do it like Debian or Ubuntu and only source the global bashrc when
running bash.
* Other shells like zsh have their own global config anyway.
* In fact sourcing the global shell config was only needed/used by
bash.
* see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20288
Especially have a look at the last one. I have tested this with bash,
dash, zsh and ksh but maybe I miss something. We should also remove the
/etc/profile.bash file from the bash package as it is not needed. Should
I prepare some announcement about this change if we are fine with it?
Greetings,
Pierre

I'd say go with the simplest solution. I also wouldn't care about 900KB
more disk usage these days. So if the gnu mailutils just compile without
any patches that might be a good replacement.

Thanks for setting this up. In general its a good idea to review and

Subject: [arch-dev-public] Boot loaders in core/base
Message-ID:
Hi,
while reviewing the core rebuild list I wondered if we should think
about chaining our default boot loader. Note: that wont affect existing
setups and people will still be able to use whatever they like.
ATM. we have grub1 in core/base and install that by default. The
problem is that this project is virtually dead for a long time now and
also not available on x86_64. Technically it has to be in the multilib
repo.
Grub2 is currently in extra. Upstream development is still in flux.
Imho its quite heavy and complex.
An alternative successor would be extlinux from the syslinux package.
It's very simple, easy to configure, actively maintained and reliable.
Sure, it only supports booting from ext* and btrfs afaik but to be
honest, if you use any other FS you should have a separate /boot even
when using grub.
Summing up my suggestion for some time in the future would be:
* move extlinux/syslinux to core/base
* move grub1 to extra/multilib and remove it from base group
* keep grub2 in extra
* maybe also move lilo to extra
* of course keep all of them on the install cd
What do you think about this? At some point it might not be
sane/possible to keep grub1 as our default boot loader.
Greetings,
Pierre

I'm using grub-legacy on all my systems. I dislike the option to force
everybody to use a separate ext* boot partition.
I prefer to keep grub-legacy that is still maintained by the
distributions (see heavy Fedora patching) our default boot loader until
we think we can replace it with grub(2). Maybe it's already ready
for this after the next minor testing releae. It should already be
in good state since Ubuntu uses it as the default loader.

Don't get me wrong here. I underlined that I wont force anyone to do
anything. So one should still be able to use grub and it should also be
kept on the install CD.

Well, it should be clear that grub1 is a dead end; no matter how much
you patch it. I am also not talking about doing something about this
tomorrow but some day in the future. The day when we are forced to think
about grub1 by something else (read as replacing the default not the
package). And in that case I think extlinux is the more simple solution
compared to grub2.

- You will need grub2 in the future, for all fancy things like gpt, uefi and
such things.
- extlinux is good and small but doesn't offer any fancy things.
- grub still works for most people, as lilo would do

Subject: [arch-dev-public] [pam/consolekit] Help needed for desktop
permission handling
Message-ID: <20101121155524.3a32482e@workstation64.home>
While packaging Xfce 4.7 I had to find a way to allow the desktop user
to shutdown/reboot(consolekit), hibernate/suspend(upower),mounte
removable devices(udisks).
Recent display managers (gdm, kdm and lxdm) can handle their own
polkit/consolekit session through pam access. The gnome/xfce4-session
packages only have basic access to consolekit and since the consolekit
0.4.2 in testing they can't deal with it anymore.
As a workaround I have plans to ship files in xfce4-session as proto
files where the admin can add users or groups to allow certain actions:
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.upower.pkla and
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.consolekit.pkla
and maybe one for udisk
something like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42669 .
This could also be done each in the consolekit/upower/udisks packages.
But all this is crap working around some nasty bugs in our
pam pkg not allowing direct access to consolekit. Please have a look at
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17188
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21391
Pam has an update pending (also fixing security related issues) and
quiet a lot open bugs:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?string=pam&project=1&search_name=&type[]=&sev[]=&pri[]=&due[]=&reported[]=&cat[]=&status[]=open&percent[]=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=&do=index
So please someone with time and knowledge may have look (Tobias P.
doesn't seem to have the time for this). If we can't menage to fix this
until the Xfce release I'd like to know what you think could be a good
and safe workaround (recommending power/storage groups?).
Note: Gentoo seems also running into this pam/consolekit issue. Not
sure about Ubuntu and Fedora(that does heavy pam configurations).

Message-ID: <7cf0c5830e8b1196d145c57e45dea05d@archlinux.de>
Hi devs,
I repaired the sourceball creation script the last days. I didn't
active the cron job yet as a couple of packages should be fixed first
(will send a new mail about that)
* Similar to the package pool there are now two subdirs for our
core/extra packages and the ones from community in ftp/sources.
* The sourceballs user has srcdest set to ~/sourceballs so we don't
need to redownload sources on every minor update
* A cron job removes files older than 120 days from that srcdest folder
* I have added a new rsync module to sigurd in order to provide these
sources for gerolde
* Instead of logging to files the plan is to send the output of the
scripts to the arch-notifications mailing list
Greetings,
Pierre

Subject: [arch-dev-public] How to manually add or remove packages from the
repos
Message-ID: <52d51c4de516eb82e81675d345f8a12b@archlinux.de>
Hi Devs and TUs.
in same rare cases it is needed to manually add or remove packages from
our repositories regardless what is in SVN. ATM theses cases are due to
e.g. svn crashing and leaving us with an inconsitent state or when some
split packages have been removed from a new version of the pkgbuild.
However, using repo-add or repo-remove on the dbfiles is a bad idea as
they don't lock the db files and don't set the correct permissions. In
short, just don't even think about doing that. :-)
I have added some simple wrapper which are /arch/db-repo-add and
/arch/db-repo-remove. Usage is:
* db-repo-add
* db-repo-remove
with pkgname being a single package name (not pkgbase) and pkgfile the
full path to a single package. arch is one of i686, x86_64 or any.
Greetings,
Pierre

Subject: [arch-dev-public] Fixing packages with broken sources
Message-ID:
Hello Devs and TUs,
as you might know some licenses require providing the sources somehow.
While fixing the sourceballs script which implements this I discovered
quit a lot of broken PKGBUILDs. We really need to fix those asap as this
also breaks ABS and makes rebuilds a real pain (and impossible to
automate in future).
I have setup a todo list which can be found at
http://www.archlinux.org/todo/48/ (there are also links to the raw logs
if you like to see why makepkg failed)
Here is how to fix it:
* If you just missed uploading a source file to svn there is no need to
repackage; just add that file and run archrelease $repo-$arch And: use
devtools in futuer which prevent such errors
* If the checksum is wrong: Have a look why this happened! This might
be a serious problem. You need to rebuild and rerelase the package with
a new pkgrel of course.
* Upstream source has moved. If the checksum is still the same, just
update the source url and use archrelease. No need to repackage.
* Upstream source is gone. If there is a new version, update to that.
If that happens regulary or there is no releiable upstream source you
should upload the source to ftp.archlinux.org/other/$pkgname. If the
source file is quite big, let me know; so I can blacklist it as there is
no need to mirror it twice.
Also, let me know if there are any false positives.
Greetings,
Pierre

Somehow this list drop the split packages. A complete list can be found

Code: Do We Need More Complex Metrics?". Two pages in, it begins with:
**Measuring the Source Code**
We have selected for our case study the ArchLinux software
distribution (http://archlinux.org), which contains thousands of
packages, all open source. ArchLinux is a lightweight GNU/Linux
distribution whose maintainers refuse to modify the source code
packaged for the distribution, in order to meet the goal of
drastically reducing the time that elapses between the official
release of a package and its integration into the distribution.
...
Because of the size of ArchLinux, using it as a case study gives us
access to the original source code of thousands of open source
projects, through the build scripts used by ABS (see Example 8-1)
The chapter goes on with statistics and all that junk. They're not
studying Arch, but using Arch as a launch pad for getting large
amounts of open source source code for analysis. The numbers are
interesting:
The ArchLinux repositories contained 4096 packages (as of April 2010),
with some of the packages being different versions of the same
upstream project. After removing different versions, we obtained a
sample of 4015 packages, containing 1272748 source code files. Among
all those files, 576511 were written in C. However, there were
repeated files. In the overall sample, only 776573 were unique files;
in the C subsample, only 338831 were unique files. From these unique C
files, 212167 were nonheader files and 126664 were header files.

Great! Proud to see Arch here :) The author might also be an Archer,
who knows. BTW I also like the idea of your boss coming to give you
the book like "Oh and there this O'Reilly book about some of the stuff
you do...".

hmmm.. 39% of all files in our packages are duplicates. That's
interesting. Wonder where they come from.

A lot of projects include sources from their dependencies inside their
tarball.

Nobody noticed, but the integrity check was broken for a long time now.
I somehow made it working again.
Note: If python got updated to 2.7 on gerolde let me know, so I can
update the alpm module. Am I right that this python module only export
the vercmp method?
http://projects.archlinux.org/dbscripts.git/tree/cron-jobs/check_archlinux/alpm.c
Maybe it would be way more portable if we would just call the vercmp
binary; or maybe python has such a method built-in like PHP has.
Greetings and have fun fixing the new bugs that tool found,
Pierre

I've used distutils.version to some success for this sort of thing.
Not sure if it follows the pacman rules to the letter though

Look in the archives; we switched it on purpose and sped it up by like
10x. So calling the vercmp binary is not a great idea.

Good to know; found that commit from two years ago. :-) I need to have
a closer look at that code; there is some new stuff we need to take care

A few suggestions about the notification email:
1) It would be helpfull to list the failed packages (content of
failed.txt wich you apparently removed) before the makepkg output. At
a glance, we'll be able to see if one of our package has failed
without going through pages of output. Maybe it won't be as useful
after we fix the current packages.
2) Seperate the makepkg output of each failed package with an empty
line or a long line of dashes or equal signs. It'll make them easier
to distinguish.
3) The script is checking for multilib repos for i686. As it dosn't
find the db it just aborts but we should just skip the check. This
will enable us to not send the email if there are no failures.

Hi,
Can we get some details of what the perl-5.12.2 rebuild list is for? Its
description is "Build modules that have binary modules in them" but
surely there is binary compatibility between 5.12.1 and 5.12.2... Or
have the expected paths for binaries changed again?

I have rewritten the sourceballs script from scratch. It should be like
over 9000 times faster now. For details see my commit message at
http://projects.archlinux.org/dbscripts.git/commit/?id=4d16d294f338d5e90a92acb2096bca77e9e924e7
The script run every 8 hour and sends a list of added, removed and
especially failed packages to arch-notifications. The dbscripts are in
dryrun mode for a little while. Please have a look at those mails and
let me know if there is something wrong. (Only look at the recent two
mails; the others were test mails)

Pierre

Got someone with a panic on 2.6.36.1-2 but not on 2.6.36.1-1. I don't
