Bug#727708: Init should be simple, secure, and get out of the way. It should not take over the system. We should not be forced to use one that does.
On Sat, 1 Feb 2014 19:11:52 -0500 (EST) Thilos Rich thilos.r...@aol.com wrote: Init should be simple, secure, and get out of the way. It should not take over the system. We should not be forced to use an init that does. This man said it best: wizardofbits.tumblr.com/post/45232318557/systemd-more-like-shit-stemd Init has one other job, which is to keep the process tables clean. See, any process can create a copy of itself (called “forking” (don’t laugh) in Unix terminology); this is usually a precursor to loading some other program. Any process that runs to completion can deliver a status code to the process that created it; the creating (or parent) process is said to “wait” on the status code of the created (or child) process. But what happens if the parent process dies before the child does? What happens is that init is designated to be the adoptive parent of the “orphaned” process, and it waits for, and discards, any status code that may be returned by the orphan on exit. This is to prevent “zombie processes” – process table slots that are filled with status codes but have no running programs attached to them. They are undesirable because they take up process table space that could be used by actual, running programs. So it is important that init run well and not crash. Now, in Unix system design, it is a generally understood principle that a big task not be handled by a big program, but rather a collection of small programs, each tackling one specific, well-defined component of the larger task. You often hear the phrase “do one thing, and do it well” as a guiding principle for writing a Unix program. One major reason for this is that a small program has fewer places for bugs to hide than a big program does. Real power is in communicability, not in monolithic software, not even in modular software. It's like 2^N. 2 is a small number, but if you have enough bits, you can represent enormous number of numbers: 0,1,2,...,2^N-1. Another example, in theory of approximation, a function f is represented by function g. And if you tend to approximate f with g on interval (a,b), then you your function g will start to diverge very rapidly as soon x gets out of (a,b). When one software wants to cover all cases, they can never achieve this goal. They can make it work perfectly for 99% of users, but then the remaining 1% will have big problems. Such an application not only do not provide infrastructure for satisfying remaining cases, it can even become useless, and the typical solution is replacing it with another software which is incomparably less powerful, but yet much more usable for a particular purpose. Moreover, they are bad psychologically, because the user is frustrated, he has all that power in his hands, but in spite of that he cannot achieve something he has in mind. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machiavellianism http://markorandjelovic.hopto.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#727708: Abstract Init Scripts
I made an example script that could serve as a starting point for controlling all services. User/Admin can override functions from this script to make custom behavior and configure it in a config file. It probably doesn't work, but for now it's enough to read it because it's self-explaining and illustrate the thesis that features that are missing from sysvinit/initscripts can be implemented in a relatively simple way. example.conf Description: Binary data service Description: Binary data

Bug#727708: Arguments for tech-ctte (Was: Proposal: let’s have a GR about the init system)
Additional arguments in favor of sysvinit: * systemd and upstart lead to vendor lock-in; it will be complicated later to return back or change to third option, as well to change from first to second option * I don't have a feeling that configuration can be very simpler than shell scripts; there are things such as 'events' and such things have to be properly defined) * If OpenRC's development continues in good direction, Debian could switch to OpenRC * If our shell scripts are a mess, then we should clean up the mess, not trying to escape it by changing whole init system; more precisely, we should correct mistakes we made in past, such as not enough abstraction * existing software (sysvinit+initscripts) can be enhanced: (1) add new features to sysvinit; e.g. start-stop-daemon could be extended, to return only when service is ready, or if timeout exceeds to return with error status (2) add new software in addition to sysvinit (3) make init scripts more correct (abstraction) (4) extend configurability (more options in /etc/default/*) (3) makes (4) easily possible If sysvinit is in accord with UNIX philosophy, and as they say it is, than I don't see why (1) and (2) would not be possible, too, and with not to much effort. * What is alleged to be disadvantages of sysvinit (lack of features), is not really to blame sysvinit, because it does one thing and do it right. Other features could be implemented as additional software. On the other hand, what actually was done was writing new software that make old software obsolete and that do *many* things, which is not in accord with UNIX philosophy. * More complex software has more bugs, old software is cleaned out of original bugs, and new software is not. * Software that is not well commented is hard to understand and find bugs For more details: http://lists.debian.org/20131108125545.1b43f...@eunet.rs http://lists.debian.org/20131108134841.71563...@eunet.rs http://lists.debian.org/20131105234316.4407f...@eunet.rs http://lists.debian.org/20131106135535.7d091...@eunet.rs http://lists.debian.org/20131103102302.42493...@eunet.rs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#609537: /etc/init.d/mysql stop leaves a process but exits with 0 status
Package: mysql-server-5.1
Version: 5.1.49-3
Severity: serious
Tags: squeeze
From Debian Policy Manual:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-writing-init
The init.d scripts must ensure that they will behave sensibly (i.e.,
returning success and not starting multiple copies of a service) if
invoked with start when the service is already running, or with stop
when it isn't, and that they don't kill unfortunately-named user
processes. The best way to achieve this is usually to use
start-stop-daemon with the --oknodo option.
It is possible to get into state when there is mysqld_safe process
remained, though main mysqld process is stopped and pid file deleted. In
such cases, /etc/init.d/mysql procedure mysqld_status check_dead warn
will return true and script will do nothing, returning with success. But
as cited from policy manual, it should fail, since there are remaining
mysqld processes.
One way to get into this situation is to start, then stop server from
mysqld-admin, which I intend to report as a separate bug on mysqld-admin.

Bug#529870: This is security issue
I think this bug should be treated as security because for people that use SELinux it is makes bigger security impact then ordinary security bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Bug#430687: aespipe: Trailing byte(s)
Package: aespipe Version: 2.3b-4 Severity: important When you decrypt a file, it is not same as original, because it has additional bytes at the end. If you know the length of original file, than you can reconstruct it with program dd. For example, make some tar archive a.tgz, encrypt it with aespipe into a.tgz.aespipe, than decrypt it into a2.tgz. When you type tar ztf a2.tgz, you get an error gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors All files are listed, but still you get an error, which can sometimes make confusion. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages aespipe depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries aespipe recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

According to manual, Slackware does it correctly, and Etch not. I also
tried on Sarge i386 system and it behaves same as Etch, so the problem
is obviously due to some Debian specific patch, and is not architecture
related.

Bug#416989: sox: Segmentation fault when playing from stdin
I am running, now stable, Etch, sox version 13.0.0-1. This sox version does not segfault, but doesn't work anyway. The error message is sox stio: Failed reading `-': Could not determine file type. I don't understand why it say Could not determine file type since I used -t ossdsp argument. Everything I said applies to using stdin. When I specify filename as input, sox plays the file with no problems. Pascal Giard wrote: Hi Marko, thanks for your bugreport. Which section or version are you running? (stable distribution Etch?) I've tested with a mp3 and this doesn't seem to apply to latest version in unstable 13.0.0. Is there a reason for piping instead of specifying the filename? Or does that more generally mean that you can't use open() in an application? If so, it's bad and deserves more attention.

Bug#406780: tomcat5: NullPointerException on loading FacesServlet (JSF)
I have found out that tomcat5 throws that exception only if web application is called Jsf_Ex01. If I only rename the directory, application works and no exceptions. Is it how I called my first JSF app. It is possible tomcat remembered that name somewhere. If you wish, I can send you relevant files, just tell me which one(s). I repeated the same example, just with different name and it works with no errors. Also, I can purge tomcat5 and reinstall, but I am afraid we would lose trail of cause. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
