Bug#436159: Serious indexing problems in fsck_hfs (fwd)
Hi, Rogério, A good start would be to ask them to have their CVS/Subversion/whatever repository revealed and not just snapshots of their software when they release a new point release of MacOS X. Ok. Can you also send a link to Apple's snapshots so I can put the request into context? Sure here they are: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ The package name in question is diskdev_cmds (which I renamed to hfsprogs, since only part of their package is relevant to GNU/Linux distributions). Ok. Below is what I sent in as bug report #5971198. Regards -Lars Currently Apple releases snapshots of Darwin components when it reaches a new point release of in OS X. It would be of tremendous help for projects working to maintain interoperability with Apple tools and products to be able to see the regular CVS/SVN trees. Access would speed up development and bug fixing and contribute to prevention of crash/hang/dataloss, improvement of security, and better performance. In particular, I am asking that the diskdev_cmds package be published more frequently or that the working version be made available to other projects: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.2/diskdev_cmds-421.1/ Allowing access to newer source code for the HFS+ filesystem facilitates integration of OS X into work environments where it might otherwise not be present or be remain marginalized. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I largely gave up on them last autumn - lack of openness in the bug tracker, failure to support+foot dragging on Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Theora and OpenDocument, difficulties mounting other file systems, a small number of outstanding security concerns, blow-off we're looking into it answers for 18 months, etc. I'm eager to see an improvement there. It's not bad, in fact it's improved slightly over the years. However, it's just that it got passed by Debian and Kubuntu a few years ago. Do you have a semi-throw away email addy? Registering for an Apple Developer Connection (ADC) is free, but requires a registration. Just use something like Yahoo or mailinator. However, even with an account, I haven't figured out how to book mark a specific bug report. It'll be good to have some joint file systems. -Lars -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear people, It seems that finally Apple has admitted that their code is not 64-bit clean (please, see the mail attached to this message). The nice thing is that they seem to be open about receiving/integrating patches on their build system. This will alleviate my work (and the work of those that want to collaborate to get it working under Linux). Regards, Rogerio. P.S.: Lars, would it be possible for you to ask the Ubuntu people to collaborate a bit more? They seem to still have dangerous versions of the package installed on their repository. At least revision -4 is needed for the package to work correctly on amd64. Oh, and some help breaking up the current patches and getting newer upstream versions (aka, from Apple) in our archive will only benefit all that need a robust filesystem integrity. P.S.: Josex, are you still interested in working together in this package? Breaking up the large patch into smaller, simply focused tasks and integrating them all via quilt is the way to go, IMVHO. -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED],ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org ---BeginMessage--- Please include the line below in follow-up emails for this request. Follow-up: 31431748 Hello Prof. Rogério Brito, Our engineers have investigated this issue and believe that you are correct about potential issues when building this project 64-bit. The open source code available on our site are mostly snapshots of projects that have been built on 32-bit on our platform. As such, no Apple products are vulnerable to this issue. However, we are interested in your patches. After discussing this with the manager of our Open Source program, I believe the best way to provide these changes back to Apple would be to file bugs with the diffs in our bug tracking system at https://bugreport.apple.com.
