There's a new 2.2.x version out there now. As of 2.2.4, I shoul dbe synchronized with the Sparc[64] and PPC ports, which is the major reason why the patch is pretty huge. Apart from the architecture synchronizations, 2.2.4 does: - dumping core over NFS could do bad things. Core-dumping cleaned up and fixed. - various small TCP/IP buglets fixed. Linux got confused by hosts that didn't report any mss, and had problems with zero-sized fragments, etc. - various small, often silly bugs fixed (PC BIOS PCI buglet, alpha semaphores, bottom half interrupts, fork() returns wrong error code). - tons of driver updates - updated net scheduling code (CONFIG_NET_SCHED) Most of the fixes aren't all that noticeable, but some of them can be showstoppers depending on whether you've ever seen them. I hope to hear reports of the new kernel, and I'm going on a two-week vacation starting mid next week, so please give this a whirl. Linus

Re: Adding NEW Apache Modules: Completely confused.
Lyndon == Lyndon Fletcher [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Lyndon file. They also don't seem to have documented this process. So Lyndon you see I have the Apache way, which is documented, and the Lyndon Debian way, which isn't. The Debian way is now the Apache way, documented in the 1.3.x Manuals (the apache-doc package). We've used runtime loadable modules since before it was officially supported, and apxs written. Lyndon I have a few questions. Lyndon 1) Is it possible to just run configure and make a standard Lyndon Linux binary of Apache 1.3.3 the way Apache.org does it? Will Lyndon it work? Will the various config files be compatable? If not Lyndon what would I need to change to make this new binary work. Technically yes -- but its a great hassle, as configure doesnt have a predefined setup that exactly matches what Debian needs, which is this: ./configure --enable-shared=max --enable-rule=SHARED_CHAIN \ --enable-suexec --enable-module=status \ --suexec-caller=www-data --enable-module=most \ --enable-module=log_referer --enable-module=log_agent \ --enable-module=auth_db --enable-module=auth_dbm \ --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/apache/1.3 \ --sysconfdir=/etc/apache --localstatedir=/var/state/apache \ --runtimedir=/var/run --logfiledir=/var/log/apache \ --proxycachedir=/var/cache/apache --target=apache \ --includedir=/usr/include/apache-1.3 \ --datadir=/var/www --without-confadjust An easier solution is to get the Debian source package and add your module to that, instead of to the tarball from Apache. :-) Lyndon 2) What is involved in adding this new module to the Dynamic Lyndon module loading scheme used by Debian? Are there special Lyndon libraries needed? What else will I need to have, what compile Lyndon flags should I use and which config files are effected? Ah, this is the easiest solution: just install apache-dev and do this: apxs -c your_module.c Which will produce the .so file needed.

Logs of Eric S. Raymond forum
Logs of Saturday's open source forum with Eric S. Raymond are now on the some.net website: http://www.some.net/transcripts/esr-980509-opensource.log ESR --- lilo Tylenol (a developer with the gimp project) asks: doesn't the Open Group sort of taint the use of the word open? esrWe thought about that. But (a) when we cooked up the term, they weren't being twits about the X11 license yet, and (b) we kicked around a lot of alternatives and couldn't do better than open source ... a decision the Freeware Summit ratified, BTW. esrI guess one message I have is that our little factional fights don't matter. We know who the real enemy is, and it's not even Bill Gates. It's inertia, laziness, bad habits, and the closed corporate mindset. Teknix Do you think their embracing of Open Source will bring others with them? esrI'm talking with three Fortune 500 companies right now, and none of them is Netscape or Corel. Culus esr: Ooh, good question, How is netscape feeling post-open source? esrCulus: They're damn happy. Top software engineers are banging on their door looking for jobs. esr In the long run, what Bill wants won't matter. If economic reality favors the open source model (as I believe it generally does) we'll win. If it doesn't we'll lose. Either way Bill Gates is a symptom, not a cause. Treating him as a primary cause is a mistake. Stephen Tweedie --- lilo while we're waiting, maybe we can talk with Stephen just a bit on his experiences in working in the Linux kernel sct Of course, there were a lot of _very_ busy people on the kernel even then: sct for a while, we had EYC, the Eric Youngdale Consortium, a nickname Eric got because he was _obviously_ submitting more patches than any one person could generate. :) sct As far as the filesystem is concerned, there will probably not be much more in 2.2, simply due to the proximity of the code freeze sct although I'm going to try to get raw device access in if we can. sct But there are several very important strands of filesystem extensions going on which we plan to start integrating early on in 2.3 sct Ted Ts'o has started work on doing btree directory support, and hopefully we can extend that to encompass btree mapping of file extents sct That will make very large directories and very large sparse files work rather well on Linux. sct Journalling support should also be going in (miguel has been contributing to some of the design work here, too). sct Finally there are existing extensions such as the e2compress and ACL support which need to be merged, and the 64-bit file support. - irc.us.openprojects.net irc.eu.openprojects.net irc.au.openprojects.net irc.debian.org irc.redhat.com irc.linux.org irc.ssc.com irc.kde.org Open Source, Open Technology, Open Information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

mozilla.deb, get it while its hot
A Mozilla 5 package by Joey Hess is now in our master Incoming, and will be soon at an Incoming mirror near you. :-) You can already get it from: ftp://ftp1.us.debian.org/pub/debian/Incoming/mozilla-smotif_5.0b1-0.0_i386.deb To run it you need libc6, libstdc++2.8, xlib6g, and xpm4g installed. (The 0.0 version means it still needs a permanent maintainer.) And yes, its actually usable, and has at least one convenient new feature in the Window menu. There are some glitches in HTML rendering though. In addition to Incoming, this site also has a full mirror of the mozilla source (/mozilla/1998-03-31/) and an ISO image of Debian 2.0 suitable for burning to CDR (/CD/Debian-2.0.iso, updated nightly at 0200 GMT). It looks like the Debian and Openscape developers will work side-by-side on this -- irc.openscape.org and irc.debian.org are the same network. :-) - PGP E4 70 6E 59 80 6A F5 78 63 32 BC FB 7A 08 53 4C __ _Debian GNU Johnie Ingram [EMAIL PROTECTED] mm mm / /(_)_ __ _ ___ __netgod irc.debian.org mm mm / / | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / m m m / /__| | | | | |_| |Those who do not understand UNIX mm mm \/_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ are doomed to repeat it, poorly.

Intent to Party like its 1998
TIME: hamm freeze - 05:13H After months of work, hundreds of uploads, thousands of bugs, and even last-moment hardware problems, Debian 2.0 hamm is finally being frozen for release in April. To celebrate there's going to be an online IRC party, starting now and building up till 7 p.m. Eastern ( GMT) -- the moment the freeze day begins. Over 15 Debian Developers are aready present, including one of the authors of deity, the next-generation package GUI. If you'd like to join us just point your IRC client at server irc.debian.org, channel #debian. If you don't already have a linux console IRC client, try installing one of these: (1.3) ftp1.us.debian.org/debian/Incoming/bitchx_0.74p2-4bo1.1_i386.deb (2.0) ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/net/bitchx_0.74p2-7.deb And invoking it like this: bitchx -c#debian And IRC clients for other operating systems are available at http://www.irchelp.org/.

Hamm CD images available
To facilitate testing of Debian 2.0 I've set my ftp site to make CD images every night at 9 p.m. EST; the image can be downloaded as something like: ftp://ftp1.us.debian.org/Debian-2.0-980309-0929Z.iso This is a T1 to Merit, who peers with MCI and others in Chicago. Please let me know of problems on the usual channel at irc.debian.org, so we can get bugs fixed quicky. These completely unofficial images are made with hacked debian-cd source combined with custom scripts to get around the symlink-to-bo problem (they basically take the brute-force approach, making a second copy of the site). The image is unavailable during the 45-minute build period. I'm tweaking this script at the moment because main + contrib is just slightly too large to actually burn to CD. Something has to go, and it isn't main ;-) There are conflicting reports from last week on whether the resulting CD is bootable or not, so your mileage may vary. Actual pre-burned gold CDs will be available again once I get my new 4x Yamaha CD-writer. - PGP E4 70 6E 59 80 6A F5 78 63 32 BC FB 7A 08 53 4C __ _Debian GNU Johnie Ingram [EMAIL PROTECTED] mm mm / /(_)_ __ _ ___ __netgod irc.debian.org mm mm / / | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / m m m / /__| | | | | |_| |Those who do not understand UNIX mm mm \/_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ are doomed to repeat it, poorly.

Re: Apache problems with 1.2-1.3 upgrade
Ted == Ted Okada [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Ted 1. You indicated the home directory to be /home/www-data Apache Ted recommends /var/www ... I let Apache use /home/www-data ... In Ted fact, I understand what happened. I was using /var/www and Ted instead of user www- data, I used user www with /var/www as the Ted home directory. What would you recommend given new packages? Ted Should I symlink /var/www with /home/www-data? In general, with Ted regards to where Debian is going and for future upgrades of Ted Apache, what should the strategy be for location to place web Ted data? The historic place for the Debian Apache document root is /home/www-data/webspace. The other webserver packages used different conventions, and for 1.3 it was decided to standardize on /var/www as a default. But this is only a default -- the administrator can always change this afterwards. With apache in particular, only /etc/apache/httpd.conf is hardwired; the locations of everything else can be configured from commands in that. The preinst script should have added /var/www instead of /home/www-data -- its a Bug symptomatic of its antiquity. :-) Personally I still have my site in /home/www-data/webspace -- it makes it easier to backup, and the parent /home/www-data stuff can be used for other webserver-related stuff, like other virtual domains. Ted 2. During the configuration of apache and apache-modules, there Ted were configuration scripts... Do you know where these scripts are Ted so I can run these scripts later to both configure apache as well Ted as configure which apache modules to load? I'm sorry for this Ted newbie question... All config scripts are stored in /var/lib/dpkg/info, named apache.preinst, apache.postinst, etc. The apache.postinst is what you are thinking of, but really all it does is call the apacheconfig program (which you can run at any time). If you already have the user and group www-data set up, really you don't need the scripts at all. Just copy over the three config files in /etc/apache -- httpd.conf, access.conf, and srm.conf -- and start apache with /etc/init.d/apache start. ~ mm mm Johnie Ingram, Network Technician mm mm Research Development Dept., The Library Network m m m 33030 Van Born Road, Wayne, MI 48141 +1 313 326 8910 x144 mm mm GO BLUE PGP E4 70 6E 59 80 6A F5 78 63 32 BC FB 7A 08 53 4C You must realize that the computer has it in for you.

Re: Apache -- Regarding File Privileges

Hamish == Hamish Moffatt [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hamish Ooops. I just bounced this post, hoping elm would let me edit Hamish it. :-( I tried Linux 2.1.13, and found that Hamish start-stop-daemons, which Debian uses extensively during Hamish bootup, did not work, and possibly some other scripts. Hence Hamish 2.1.13 was useless and I am back to 2.1.10. Has anyone else Hamish experienced this? Yes, the exact same thing happened to me, apparently because 2.1.13 does not understand the #!/usr/sbin/perl -- line in the script. No script which gives an argument to its processor works with that kernel. Miraculously, almost everything will work normally if you change the line to #!/usr/bin/perl. Seems like start-stop-daemon is the only key script that gives arguments to its processor. This is the first 2.1 kernel I've tried, so I don't know if its a bug or a feature.

Andrew Just my thought. Sorry -- I mistyped that. The line really says #!/usr/bin/perl --. My theory is the problem lies in changes to fs/binfmt_script.c. Every script with extra stuff after the interpreter filename now fails with something like bash: no such file (I don't remember exactly -- I'm back to 2.0.25 now).
