[opensuse-factory] Bash 4.3 and readline libary 6.3 for testing

by Dr. Werner Fink

Hi, for those who are adventuresome may have a look at the package shells/bash43 as a replacement for the bash in Base:System/bash and its link shells/bash. There *are* changes, therefore I'd like to here some more reports and experiences before I replace the bash 4.3 and the corresponding readline libary 6.2.

[opensuse-factory] Time to jettison the '2' in 'apache2' ?

by Nathan Cutler

Hi - It has been four years since Apache 1.3 went EOL. Is it time to get rid of the '2' in, e.g., 'apache2', 'httpd2', 'apache2ctl', etc.? The official docs at http://httpd.apache.org do not use it. Impact on users could be minimized by including symlinks from httpd2 -> httpd, etc. Nathan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-factory] Time to jettison the '2' in 'apache2' ?

by Nathan Cutler

> Nope, I am not changing this, unless you give me a damn good reason. it is just a distribution implementation detail and does not affect the functionality. The reason is to match upstream and minimize confusion for people who are trying to follow the upstream documentation. I agree that it does not affect functionality, as long as you exclude manpages from your definition of "functionality". I understand your reluctance to drop the '2' from the package name, even though we don't use the major version number in other packages that I am aware of and it gives people false hope that multiple versions of Apache can coexist on the same system. Personally I would be satisfied if you could at least include symlinks from the upstream binary/script names to the openSUSE-specific names. I.e. especially httpd -> httpd2 and apachectl -> apache2ctl. As for manpage functionality, I think it is seriously broken. Consider this, for example (with apache2 version 2.4.6-6.19.2): # httpd If 'httpd' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf httpd # man httpd ... read all about the httpd command that I can't run, no mention of httpd2 ... # apachectl If 'apachectl' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf apachectl # man apachectl ... read all about the apachectl command that I can't run, no mention of apache2ctl ... # man apachectl2 ... another way of displaying the apachectl manpage, but still no mention of apache2ctl... # apachectl2 If 'apachectl2' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf apachectl2 # man apache2ctl No manual entry for apache2ctl # man apxs ... read manpage ... # apxs If 'apxs' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf apxs # man apxs2 ... read apxs manpage ... # apxs2 If 'apxs2' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf apxs2 The manpages appear to be taken verbatim from upstream, with no mention of the openSUSE-specific name change. Also, there is a manpage for apachectl2, a command which doesn't exist, but none for apache2ctl, which does. And then there is a manpage for apxs which is not included in the package at all (under any name).

[opensuse-factory] New package: Ceph

by David Disseldorp

Ceph is a distributed object store with support for a wide range of interfaces, including block-layer (rbd), filesystem (fuse, kernel), HTTP (REST), and client libraries. A full list of features is available via the project website: http://ceph.com/ The project is currently maintained upstream by a large collection of companies and individuals, and is carried by Debian and Fedora. The build service devel project has been present at filesystems:ceph for some time now. I'd like to submit it to openSUSE:Factory in the coming days, providing there are no objections from the community. This submission would not include the separately packaged quick-deployment utility ceph-deploy, which I'm not currently willing to maintain.

[opensuse-factory] Plymouth maintainer

by Mark van Tinteren

A while ago (more then a month) I announced that i would no longer be able to maintain Plymouth next to my current packages and development and did a call out for a new maintainer. So far no one has reacted or volunteered so with this i put it out there once again. Plymouth needs a maintainer if you are interested let me know.

[opensuse-factory] BTRFS and old 32-bit programs

by Lew Wolfgang

Hi Folks, I was bitten by the default XFS inode64 configuration again last week. To refresh memories, XFS now defaults to spreading its inodes out across the whole partition, which on partitions larger than 1-TB will break 32-bit applications. This time it was a FPGA compiler and acroread. XFS can be created/mounted so that all the inodes are clustered at the low end of the partition, but this can lead to other issues. I now wonder if BTRFS will have a similar issue with large filesystems? Will BTRFS treat old 32-bit programs well? About 30-minutes of searching on Google didn't answer the question. We're currently using partitions as large as 77-TB to store and process many thousands of 4-GB binary files.

[opensuse-factory] journald configuration defaults

by Achim Gratz

Some time ago I had a problem with slow boot. Once that was fixed I started to have the opposite problem, that is long delays with high disk activity during shutdown, getting much worse with time. Again this turns out to be triggered by journald: once the log file had grown past 20MiB or so there would be a noticeable delay when flushing the log to disk and it became unbearable at 80MiB. The time is superlinear with log size: a verify on the current 7MiB journal file takes roughly 1.5s (17s for a loop of 16 verifies), the 114MiB for the old file are already over 30s. The solution (for me) was to set SystemMaxFileSize=8M in /etc/systemd/journald.conf so that the active journal file gets rotated much earlier than with the built-in defaults. I have a rather small separate /var, but that file would have grown to about 300MiB. considering that most people probably have probably much larger /var partitions and the superlinear scaling characteristics, I think it would be advisable to provide more sensible defaults with the distribution.

[opensuse-factory] low hanging fruit: packages with both init scripts and service files

by Ludwig Nussel

Hi, Scanning through Factory logs I see that rpmlint found the following packages that have both a systemd service file as well as an init script. Since the latter is useless in Factory as it's shadowed by the service file the init script can be removed resp not installed: apache2 atheme autofs avahi clamav collectd courier-authlib courier-imap dbus-1-x11 dovecot21 erlang glusterfs gnugk gnump3d greenbone-security-assistant icecast keepalived laptop-mode-tools memcached netatalk nut openslp openvas-administrator openvas-manager openvas-scanner pcsc-lite php5 postfix postgrey pptpd proftpd pure-ftpd rabbitmq-server radvd rsync sanlock spamassassin squid subversion ufw ulogd util-linux varnish xl2tpd cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
