[arch-general] [PATCH] rc.sysinit: Get rid of grep

2010-09-20 Thread Kurt J. Bosch

In my opinion there is no need to use grep in rc.sysinit.

Your echo is redundant. Just quote the expansion and assign it.


NAK. Try this:
MODULES=( '!foo' '!bar' )
modules="${modul...@]/#\!*}"
[[ $modules ]]&&  echo "'$modules' is not a null string"
' ' is not a null string


modules="${modul...@]/#\!*}"

I think we're a long way away from the day when there's a '!' as
part of a module name, but I think it's probably best to anchor the
expression to the start of each element regardless.


OK, but the quotes aren't needed because word splitting is not
performed here. So we finally get:

modules=$( echo ${modul...@]/#\!*} )

We're going to have to agree that we're both right, and we're both
wrong. The echo is _still_ unnecessary. I've learned to quote everything in
bash, and now it's working against me.

$ MODULES=( '!foo' '!bar' )
$ modules=${modul...@]/#\!*/}
$ [[ -z $modules ]]&&  echo null
null

Wow, that's really true :)

Excellent observation -- it would not. Counting the size of the array
with the PE in place isn't possible (or desirable), either. Perhaps a
more graceful solution is to reassign the output of the PE to a new
array and operate based on that. Certainly still beats calling modprobe
for every element in the array, imo.

P.S. To clarify this a bit: Word splitting is not performed on variable

Indeed, I was mistaken. However, I still stand by the idea that trying
to parse the output of /bin/ls is flawed from the ground up. ls is made
for human parsing, not programatical parsing.


Suppose I start daemons foo, bar and baz (in that order) after Arch
boots. Why then, should the shutdown order of these daemons change
merely because I had to restart bar, which is independent of foo and
baz?


Because you know which is the right order and rc.shutdown just rolls
back what you did. ^^




No, rc.shutdown does _not_ know the right order. The current behavior is
broken. Example:

1) start network
2) start rpcbind
3) start nfs-common
4) restart network

network now shuts down first, rendering the OS unable to cleanly close
any outstanding nfs shares. This commonly results in a long hang at
shutdown and the possibility of truncated files.

That's exactly what I meant. _You_ should now what you're doing and 
rc.shutdown tries its best afterwards. There is no real daemons 
dependency handling in Arch (probably because of KISS) so we can't 
expect it does always the right thing, but at least without the restart 
it would do in your example and that's better than nothing (random 
order) isn't it? :)

reason to think that the order is significant for daemons not in
$DAEMONS.  If there are any dependencies that this code does not
handle gracefully, the offending daemons will be killed when we kill
-15 and then kill -9 the rest of the processes.  If a daemon does not
handle SIGTERM gracefully because of dependency issues, it has other,
more significant problems.

I really don't know if this 'feature' is actually still wanted or 
needed, but I feel it should be dropped in a separate commit if ever. :)

Parsing the output of ls will never be better than using shell globbing
no matter how much simpler it might make the code appear to be. Not only
are you avoiding a fork, but the shell glob will properly handle any odd
characters thrown into the mix. You'll see breakage on something as
simple as a space in your suggestion. While I'm inclined to believe that
there will never be a space in the name of a daemon in Arch, if we're
going for pure Bash in this rewrite, let's use Bash instead of
mindlessly forking.

NAK. The patch just reverts breaking of the current behaviour which is 
shutdown daemons in reverse order of start. AFAIK bash globbing is 
unable to sort on timestamps, right? p

Well I haven't tested that, but I can't access them from my X or tty
session so I guess they aren't.

That is because you try from within a login shell which sets up its own 
environment AFAIK. I wrote the scripts for fbsplash and fbsplash-extras 
which use these variables with stock initscripts.

If it's compiled into the kernel, udev picks it up and creates

Which still locks out the people who use a custom kernel with this
driver compiled as module. IMHO the init scripts should work with both
module and built-in.



So why not let udev do the job? Patch below. I modified my initcpio to
get rid of the devtmpfs. A ls -l /dev/rtc* added between the new
/sbin/udevadm settle and the initial clock setting showed /dev/rtc0 and
/dev/rtc ->  rtc0. So I think this should work.

I did *not* move the sysinit_udevlaunched hook together with udev start
to avoid insane creation times of dev nodes because this hook is used
for some early udev triggering in fbsplash-extras (AUR).

Hmm, the patch might break things with custom non modular kernels 
without devtmpfs though. No modules loading no uevents and no dev nodes. 
On the other hand reading the hwclock man page, I'm a bit uncertain 
whether that piece will ever use /dev/rtc0 without a symlink from 
/dev/rtc. Instead it might actually fall back to direct I/O with the 
current code and with the patched one too.


Moreover I found a couple of interesting things:
* The system clock is already set (by the kernel - in spite of 
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS not set) even without doing anything. Weird, but with 
UTC hardware clock I even get correct mtimes in early user space.

* man hwclock:

> Reset the System Time based on the current timezone.
> ...
> This is an alternate option to −−hctosys that does not read the

I switched my hardware clock to localtime, reverted my patch and 
modified rc.sysinit to use −systz instead of --hctosys for the first 
hwclock call and also disabled the entire rtc modprobe and mknod code. A 
date command inserted for testing spit out the correct time.

From the util-linux-ng list:
> Indeed, we may be running hwclock --systz before /dev is mounted.
Getting rid of the pre fsck hwclock --hctosys would also on the average 
save another half second of boot up time beside removing some ugly code.


AFAIKS we can go one of three ways:
* Use udev expecting CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=m or fall back to direct I/O
* Use −−systz, drop the ugly code and expect some help from the kernel
* Use an even more ugly code creating the missing symlink:

the /dev/input/eventX bug with the inconsistent device naming for the
mouse and the IR remote control is back since the latest initscripts
update to 2009.08-1, even if the device naming is not switching at
every reboot this time.

Sometimes (usually) the mouse is /dev/input/event5 and the remote
control is /dev/input/event4 and sometimes it's vice versa.



Here is my /etc/conf.d/lircd - maybe it helps in your case too (:

Re: [arch-general] Firefox bug that may be Arch specific

Hi List,

Just for information, there has been already two bug reports in
Bugzilla that mention a bug in the display size of textboxes. Until
now, only Archers seems to suffer from this bug and one of the mozilla
developers has marked this issue as specific to Arch. Therefore, I
thought it could be interesting to let Arch developers and users to be
informed about this.

Hi,

i tried the URL from the first screenshot provided there with my vanilla 
Firefox on Arch. The textboxes look normal here.




Re: [arch-general] Policykit, uid like a service, and gid like a user

I noticed after installing policykit that it created a new user and
group (both called policykit). The thing that surprised me was the uid
was 102 while the uid was 1001. Should a system service like that really
have a uid below 1000 (like other service accounts) and a gid above 1000
(which is what users are given).

Looks to me like it might be a bug, but thought I'd get some input on it
before raising my first bug against an Arch package :-)

Same here :)

find returns the directory entry with ./ in front of the directory name
Anyone know how to make find return abs instead of ./abs


man find suggests -printf %P for this :)
