[arch-dev-public] mirror db died?

[arch-dev-public] cairo xcb backend
Today Cairo 1.10.0 was flagged, so it's time to update soon again. I don't know when I will introduce the new package, as I'm still working on passing the test suite included in it. Some of the tests fail here, some even crash. One thing that will definitely change is the included xcb backend. At this moment we include --enable-xcb, which is an unsupported and experimental feature. The XCB backend hasn't seen recent development, causing weird rendering bugs and sometimes even crashes. I would suggest to ship cairo 1.10.0 without the XCB backend. This means that any package that depends on the XCB backend (awesome mainly) will no longer work with our cairo package. To justify this decision, I would like to point out a comment in the Redhat bugtracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465759#c23

If it was just an optional backend, I would leave it enabled. But the fact is that the XCB backend replaces the Xlib version, resulting in visual bugs and crashes. I'm not concerned about performance here. We have a bugreport for Seamonkey that crashes with weird BadMatch errors when compiled against system cairo. Users blame me for fucking up the seamonkey package by compiling against system cairo, but in fact, the problem is most likely caused by using the XCB backend instead of the regular Xlib backend. Note that any bugreport about Seamonkey could also be valid for Firefox and Thunderbird.

Let me know when you move it into extra so I can remove awesome from community (or do it yourself if you have community repo access). Maybe a short frontpage or forum post to notify the change too?

Upstream security fix release: This release fixes a security issue with respect to the handling of sudo's -g command line option when -u is also specified. The flaw may allow an attacker to run commands as a user that is not authorized by the sudoers file. For more details, see: http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/runas_group.html Some quick signoffs would be good... Signoff both, Allan
