Shutting down fds prior to execvpe in rainbow/inject.py: joyride 247 under Qemu

2007-11-06 Thread Marcus Leech
Michael et al: I just uploaded the EXT3 image for Joyride 247, and it seems to mostly work. I experimentally put some code just before the execvpe() in inject.py to close FDs >= 3 and <= 10. I picked 10 out of the air, but I wouldn't expect there to be many open file descriptors at that point.

Dear @sugar and @devel, The sugar, security, and release teams have agreed that the file-system isolation features provided by Rainbow [1, 2] are close enough to maturity to be turned on by default in Joyride. Unfortunately, there will be serious short-term regressions caused by this change -- fo

Thank you all for your replies. They clear the picture a lot. To summarize: 1. We need to fix the timeout for icons to disappear. Can we try Guillaume's patch? Also we need to be able to resolve which icons are currently not avaiable(but still appearing). I believe that failed entries in _precens

Sjoerd, Guillaume, Simon, What does proper notification mean? Which are the cases that it happens? Probably this is not if an XO moves slowly to a place with poor connectivity. In the case of a temporary(short) disruption of connectictivity, how much time does it generally take for it to return?
