Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] licensing issues with DB 6.0

It seems Oracle switched the license to AGPL with version 6.0. I am not an expert, but afaik this makes it only compatible with GPL3 clients and also enforces the AGPL terms on those. Debian had a similar discussion https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2013/07/msg0.html If you think this is indeed a problem, I suggest to drop the rebuild for now and keep db-5. We could introduce a db6 package if packages really need that and are license-compatible. We might also want to try to disable db-functionality if possible and switch to alternative implementations.

[arch-general] tmpfs 100% /tmp - No space left on device

Is this UTC-20 or just mistype? (I just want to import that on my

Quoted printable encoding encodes spaces as =20. That's a double
encoded space which in the mail source is written as =3D20.
UTC offset times are normally between UTC-12 and UTC+12 so this is just
normal UTC.
Thanks for the technical observations and answers :) I'll add them to my cal.

[arch-general] Question about repository updates and atomicity
I'm trying to understand what may and may not go wrong between package uploads to a repository, repository synchronization via rsync (which seems to be the preferred method for mirrors to get their stuff) and downloads via pacman. Assume a developer uploads a new version of two packages to a repository. My understanding is that uploads delete the older version of the uploaded package currently in the repository. (unlike other package management systems e.g. debian's where multiple versions of the same package can reside in the same repository). An hour later, a mirror repository starts rsycing. While the rsync is ongoing, a user uses pacman to download both packages from the mirror. Question: what mechanisms exists, if any, to avoid that the user gets the old version of package A and the new version of package B? (assume the rsync is still ongoing while the download occurs) It seems the safe way of doing the rsync would be to take down the mirror during the critical section (when all old versions are removed and the new ones put there instead), and restart it afterwards? Or is there something somewhere that I'm not seeing? The debian guys probably keep the old version(s) around for exactly that reason... Any insight very much appreciated ... Cheers, Johannes.

[arch-general] Intel SNA artifacts in Firefox
Since the xf86-video-intel update that enabled SNA by default, I've noticed that some areas of some web pages (mostly flat backgrounds) in Firefox suffer from heavy graphical corruption, as if those areas are being used as rendering buffers elsewhere: bits of web pages from other tabs, etc... It goes away when I scroll the page. It happens regularly, every couple of minutes or more. This is on a Dell Latitude E5520 (Sandybridge i5) with KDE. I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this?
