Re: [leaf-user] editing lrp files in windows
Hello the list, Coming back on this topic after some feedback from KP A simpler approach regarding Tools is to keep 'dropbear.lrp' instead of loading 'sshd.lrp' and 'sftp.lrp' on the Bering box. This is a lighter solution as well as more conformant to Bering-uClibc's standards. On the Windows' side, you can still use PuTTY for secured telnet sessions, but instead of using PSFTP, you have to use some SCP client because Dropbear doesn't implement SFTP. Personally I'm using WinSCP3 (http://winscp.sourceforge.net) from Martin Prikryl (that let's me remember I've to become a donor :-) -- Christian - Grenoble - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 4:49 AM Subject: [leaf-user] editing lrp files in windows I am running Bering uClibc 2.1.3 and am going to upgrade to 2.2. Since I am happy with most of my settings in my current 2.1.3 I wanted to copy and paste a lot of my settings from the old to the new. I only have windows OS machines so I was hoping there might be some text editor that runs in windows xp to copy text from my .lrp files and paste them to the new release. If not, then I will write all my settings down by hand and then retype it in the new release. . What a beating!!! Thanks, Andrew Andrew, Why not use one of your current Bering machines as the editor tool? I don't remember if a similar process has already been described, but if that can help you, here is is how I proceed. * Tools: - sshd and sftp (recommended over telnet and ftp) on your Bering machine. - the 'unzippackage' and 'redopackage' scripts I've written for this purpose (see below) - PuTTY and PSFTP on your Windows machine (as sshd and sftp clients) - WinRAR on your Windows machine if you don't want to burn a CD with the 'Bering-uClibc_2.2_iso_bering-uclibc.iso' file else burn a CD :-) WinRAR is really capable in browsing .lrp packages. * Steps 1.. Installing tools 1.a Install 'sshd' and 'sftp' on your Bering machine (if not already done). Refer to these packages on Leaf site for help. You'll need 'sshkey.lrp' for initial installation (keys generation) 1.b Install and configure PuTTY and PSFTP applications on your Windows machine. (available on http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) Install WinRAR on your Windows machine (available as demo on http://www.rarlab.com/) 1.c Install my 'local.lrp' package on your Bering machine: - copy local.lrp to a msdos floppy, - mount the floppy on the Bering machine (mount -tmsdos /dev/fd0 /mnt) - install the package: lrpkg -i /mnt/local - umount the floppy 2. Getting initial set of Bering 2.2 software 2.a . Create a 'C:\Bering' directory on your Windows machine Get 'Bering-uClibc_2.2_iso_bering-uclibc.iso' and 'Bering-uClibc_2.2_img_bering-uclibc-1680.exe' files on leaf.sourceforge.net and put them in this directory. 2.b Create a 'C:\Bering\Image_Floppy' directory; then execute 'Bering-uClibc_2.2_img_bering-uclibc-1680.exe' application selecting File extraction only. Designate 'C:\Bering\Image_Floppy' as the destination directory. After execution the content of the floppy is available in this directory 2.c Create a 'C:\Bering\All_Packages`directory and either using WinRAR or having burnt a CD, transfer the content of 'Bering-uClibc_2.2_iso_bering-uclibc.iso' image file in this directory. 2.d Get last versions of Bering 2.2 packages (those updated after the official release - see Package changelog) and update your directories' content accordingly. 2.e Create a 'C:\Bering\Target' to receive (as a reference/backup repository) the final .lrp's 2.f I create also a 'C:\Bering\Xfer' directory to receive temporary files for PSFTP (put and get) 3. Build the new release 3.1 Open an SFTP session between your Windows machine and Bering Change remote (Bering machine) directory to '/tmp' ( cd /tmp) Change local (Windows machine) directory to 'C:\Bering\Xfer' (lcd command) Open a PuTTY session as root, and change your current directory to '/tmp'. 3.2 First, copy all files/packages which do not need modifications from 'C:\Bering\Image_Floppy' to 'C:\Bering\Target'. I'm thinking of 'readme', 'log.lrp', 'config.lrp', 'syslinux.dpy' Same for additional packages from 'C:\Bering\All_Packages' 3.3 Now, select the first package which needs modification (e.g. 'shorwall.lrp') and put a fresh copy in 'C:\Bering\Xfer' Using PSFTP, put this package on your Bering machine. Then via PuTTY session, issue the commands: firewall# cd /tmp firewall# unzippackage shorwall (firewall# being the current shell prompt). This
