[arch-general] arch-audit: pkg-audit-like tool for Arch Linux
Hi everybody, I'm happy to announce my tiny project named arch-audit[1]. It parses the CVE wiki page[2] and reports which packages on your system are affected by a vulnerability and if a fixed version for that package is already available. Something like pkg-audit on FreeBSD, but not so powerful (yet!!!). I just made it and released, so it's more than alpha and your feedbacks are needed! I hope you find it useful.

[arch-general] KDE 4.7 hits [testing]
Hi arKers, KDE 4.7 has been released[1] and our packages are ready in [testing]. As you already know KDE is (slowly) moving to GIT. With this transition some KDE module has been splitted into subprojects, and the remaining modules should be splitted before KDE 4.8. The result of this is that some package (e.g. kdegraphics-libs) is now splitted in several packages and each new package conflicts with the old kdegraphics-libs, so you have to remove it when pacman asks for its removal during the update. Here some info about the splitted modules: - KDE Workspace: wallpapers are now in a separate package named kde-wallpapers, this reduced the kdebase-workspace package download size by 70%. - KDE Graphics: kdegraphics-libs is now splitted in kdegraphics-ksaneplugin, kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer, kdegraphics-svgpart, kdegraphics-thumbnailers, libkdcraw, libkexiv2, libkipi, libksane. Our official packages which depends on kdegraphics-libs have been updated to depend on the new libraries; the upgrade should work without any issue, otherwise please report it to our bug tracker. - KDE Edu: kdeedu-libkdeedu and kdeedu-data have been dropped and libkdeedu will replace them. - KDE Bindings: every subproject has been splitted in two parts: one for the qt bindings and one for the KDE bindings. The old packages have been remove and the new one are: kdebindings-kimono, kdebindings-kross-java, kdebindings-kross-python, kdebindings-korundum, kdebindings-perlkde, kdebindings-perlqt, kdebindings-qtruby, kdebindings-qyoto, kdebindings-smokegen, kdebindings-smokekde, kdebindings-smokeqt. - KDE Accessibility: kdeaccessibility-colorschemes and kdeaccessibility-iconthemes are dropped and replaced. Have a nice update! [1] http://kde.org/announcements/4.7/ -- Andrea
Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] dropping tcp_wrapper support
On Saturday 16 July 2011 12:06:34 Peggy Wilkins wrote: The annoucement suggests that a major reason for dropping support is that it is confusing to end users. An easy solution to that is to make a default hosts.allow file that says ALL : ALL : ALLOW out of the box. Then those of use wanting to simply restrict access (useful in many scenarios) can change that default as needed. Technically this is what we did: without tcp_wrappers every input is accepted now. You've to setup iptables to deny all input and accept only what you need. I never used iptables before, but now I find its syntax really simple, and powerful. -- Andrea

[arch-general] KDE 4.7beta1 in [kde-unstable]
Hi all, the first beta of the new major release of KDE 4.7 is out and is already packaged in [kde-unstable]. As you already know KDE is (slowly) moving to GIT; with this transition some KDE module has been splitted into subprojects, others modules will be splitted during this beta cycle and others modules will be splitted before KDE 4.8. The result of this is that some package (e.g. kdegraphics-libs) is now splitted in several packages and each conflicts with the old, so you have to remove it when pacman asks for its removal during the update. See the KDE announcement[1] for upstream changes. Arch Linux Changes: - kdegraphics-libs is now splitted in: kdegraphics-ksaneplugin, kdegraphics- strigi-analyzer, kdegraphics-svgpart, kdegraphics-thumbnailers, libkdcraw, libkexiv2, libkipi, libksane - kdebindings-csharp is now splitted in: kdebindings-qyoto, kdebindings-kimono - kdebindings-ruby is now splitted in: kdebindings-qtruby, kdebindings- korundum - kdebindings-smoke is now splitted in: kdebindings-smokegen, kdebindings- smokeqt, kdebindings-smokekde - New packages: kdebindings-kimono, kdebindings-korundum, kdebindings-perlkde, kdebindings-perlqt, kdebindings-qtruby, kdebindings-qyoto, kdebindings- smokegen, kdebindings-smokekde, kdebindings-smokeqt, kdebase-konq-plugins, kde-wallpapers, libkface, libkmap - kdeedu-libkdeedu and kdeedu-data are both replaced by libkdeedu - kdeaccessibility-colorschemes is replaced by kdeartwork-colorschemes - kdeaccessibility-iconthemes is replaced by kdeartwork-iconthemes The following packages depend on kdegraphics-libs and thus are now broken: - digikam (now depends on 'libkexiv2') - kipi-plugins (now depends on 'libkexiv2' 'libkdcraw' 'libkipi' 'libksane') - koffice-krita (now depends on 'libkdcraw') - skanlite (now depends on 'libksane') - tellico (now depends on 'libksane') - kphotoalbum (now depends on 'libkdcraw' 'libkipi') Read the wiki page[2] about [kde-unstable] if you want to use these packages, please remember [testing] is needed and follow arch-dev-public.

In the previous packages the python3 version had the python2 version as its dependence; I changed this because we are going to remove python2 a day. secondly: looking at the file lists, it appears that several critical files are now missing from python2-pyqt, namely: /usr/bin/pyuic4 /usr/bin/pylupdate4 /usr/bin/pyrcc4 /usr/lib/qt/plugins/designer/libpythonplugin.so (and possibly a few others) presumably, the intention is that those files will be provided by the pyqt(3) package instead. which makes no sense to me, because they are not guaranteed to be compatible. IMHO these two packages *must* be kept separate - it should be possible to install each package completely independently, without any danger of either one clobbering the files of the other. I, with the help of an user from the community, did a search and asked PyQt developers about this, and they say we can use those files for both versions of PyQt built with different python version. (nb: it might also be worth noting here that the new python2-pyqt package also breaks the python2-qscintilla package. bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24144) Fixed. Thanks. -- Andrea

time. Which means I have to choose between kdelibs (depends on
soprano, hence redland-compat) and slv2 (depends on redland-1.0.13)
(or, in my system, between having KDE software and having ardour).
Any way around this? I'm wondering why redland-compat isn't at the
same version as redland, though I'm sure if this has been done there's
a pretty good reason.
Hi,
first of all rasqal 0.9.21 and redland 1.0.12, both requires raptor =
2.0.0 to build, that's because they are out-of-date.
Said that, we cannot ship a redland-base package (for example) and add a
redland-compat package which provides the libraries built with raptor1 and
depends on redland-base.
The only way to install the both version redland and redland-compat is to
rename every file in the redland-compat package, (maybe using --program-suffix/-
prefix) but this will require patches for things like soprano (cmake files and
headers have to point to the -compat stuff). Patches are welcome.
I've no others idea. We've to wait KDE devs port it to raptor2.

When will the so called binary distribution Arch Linux become a second Gentoo, a pure source based distribution, because no developer is interested in maintaining anything anymore? Btw., PKGBUILDs also in AUR need to be maintained. Yes, by people which use them.

And, btw., funny enough was ding updated recently although it was orphaned. Yes, was updated by *ME*. Me, Ionut, Eric, Daniel, Giovanni (etc..) update orphans packages when we have a bit of time. But we do not use them and we cannot do many tests, we cannot know if upstread dev added some new feature, etc. I wouldn't say anything if you would cleanup the official repos from unnecessary, unimportant and unused or hardly used packages like some ttf fonts, GTK1 themes, etc. But there are too many, too important packages in your list which definitely belong into the official binary repos and which are in the official binary repos of every other binary distribution.

On Wednesday 10 November 2010 12:43:28 Heiko Baums wrote: You should really think about that. There are many of the most important, oldest and best known packages in this list like dia, ding, xboard, eboard, epdfview, slmodem etc. In other words, your list is likely the half of the distro. If you would put all of them to AUR then you could give up Arch Linux, because then it has almost no advantage over Gentoo, that is, then will Arch Linux become a second Gentoo, because the users will have to compile a lot of (most of the) important packages manually. And the reason why I switched from Gentoo to Arch Linux about 3 or 4 years ago after using Gentoo for about 6 years was that I was sick of compiling everything and that Arch Linux was a binary distribution. So if you would really do this clean up and move all these packages to AUR then I could and most likely would switch back to Gentoo. So really, please, reconsider your idea of doing this massive and pointless cleanup. If you read with attention my mail, you read: 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. This means that if _any_ DEV consider a package important and he thinks that should be kept in [extra], he only have to cross it out. Also, if you look at that wiki page, ours TUs want to maintain more of them in [community]. So there is no reasons to say that we will became a second Gentoo.

Look at that:

But there is no keditbookmarks app in kdebase:
pkgbase=kdebase
pkgname=('kdebase-dolphin'
'kdebase-kappfinder'

'kdebase-kdialog'
'kdebase-kfind'
'kdebase-kinfocenter'
'kdebase-konqueror'
'kdebase-konsole'
'kdebase-kwrite'
'kdebase-lib'
'kdebase-plasma')
Keditbookmarks now is a part of konqueror (see the file list for
kdebase-konqueror = usr/bin/konqueror). But keditbookmarks is required by
some apps (krdc, krusader and others) to edit bookmarks. So, without
konqueror you can't edit bookmarks in the krusader (nothing appears after
clicking manage bookmarks).
I think that need to split konqueror on two packages: konqueror and
keditbookmarks, because install konqueror just for working bookmark editor
in krusader isn't good.
Please file a feature request on flyspray, so we will not forget this.

On a desktop system that I don't use for development, it's a bit annoying to have to have mysql taking up space, downloads during updates etc. Is there anyway we can get around this particular chain of deps? It's not a major issue, but just one of those things ;) from digiKam's description: Digital photo management application for KDE If you don't use KDE, why do you want to use a kde-based application without KDE dependencies? -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer

So don't be unhappy if they requires dependencies that aren't made for your environment :) As a comparison, looking at the Ubuntu packaging of digikam: digikam - kdepimlibs5 - libakonadiprivate1 (and no mysql only if one installs the whole akonadi-server) Might worth checking out... (libaconadiprivate1: This package contains private libraries used by the Akonadi PIM storage service.) Yes, I looked akonadi's Makefile and we can split akonadi package in akonadi and akonadi-server easy. I'll do some try tomorrow. Regards -- Andrea `bash` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer
