Seen via email and Hubert Feyrer’s blog: There’s a NetBSD hackathon planned for February 19th through the 22nd. The meetup is via IRC. Since it’s NetBSD, it’ll include pkgsrc, and if it includes pkgsrc, it affects DragonFly. If you’re interested, show up – even being there to report on packages that compile or don’t (on DragonFly) would help.
That was fast – there’s another BSDTalk already! BSDTalk 186 has Jeff Roberson, FreeBSD committer. He’s talking about schedulers and softupdates for a good half hour.
Jan Lentfer has updated wpa_supplicant and hostapd, and while there’s already some postive reports, he’d like more testing in the wild. Give it a run if you’re already using the prior version.
The first online-only free version of BSD Magazine is out! It’s good, but there’s no DragonFly, darnit. Anyway, it’s worth reading if for no other reason than it’s in pleasant, colorful PDF format.
James Nixon, iXsystems employee and PC-BSD developer, is interviewed for 16 minutes on BSDTalk 185.
I’m really behind on my posting (this is why), so I’m piling a lot of stuff in here:
Matthew Dillon is setting up DragonFly to be able to use a fast disk (like a SSD) for disk cache, reducing the effect swap has on speed. This means very large amounts of data could be read into memory – greater than the available RAM in the system – without having the normal paging out problems that happen when memory is exhausted. It’ll work for any filesystem on the machine – HAMMER, UFS, or NFS. His inital notes have more. Other notes include details on the NFS benefits, and possibilities with SSDs. Wear-leveling may make SSDs last much longer.
Work has started, and there’s an update (with examples) that people can try, though it may destroy all your data at this point. Test results in that update show, if I’m reading it right, a better than doubling of speed on a repeated md5 test on a large file when using the new caching system. This should be a huge benefit.
The packages from a bulk build of pkgsrc-2009Q4, on DragonFly 2.5.1 for x86_64 have all been uploaded to avalon.dragonflybsd.org. Go ahead and upgrade using pkg_radd if you’ve got the right hardware for it.
Thanks to some work by Tim Darby, the SiI 3124 SATA controller is now supported. This, like other SiI devices, should be able to handle hotplugging…
Vincent Stemen has a compiled version of the Linux Test Project available to download and run for anyone interested in helping linuxulator progress. Note that this is not a coding exercise, but rather a reporting exercise, so that we can identify what needs work in the linuxulator.
It’s been available to build for some time, but the official announcement for pkgsrc-2009Q4 is out. It’s worth reading to see what new packages pushed it over the 9,000 mark.
Michael Neumann presented a talk on HAMMER at the Karlsruher Institut
für Technologie on January 27th. His slides (in English) are now available in PDF or ODP formats, and are listed on the dragonflybsd.org Presentations page.
Matthew Dillon’s finished his work on a new API; he’s also posted a short wrapup. This fixes some issues found by fsx for UFS and Hammer, especially in low-memory situations.
Google Summer of Code for 2010 is accepting applications from mentor organizations starting March 8th. Pending acceptance by Google, DragonFly will participate.
If you’ve got ideas, or if you want to mentor (or both!), enter something on the GSOC 2010 page on the DragonFly website.
A fresh set of pkgsrc-2009Q4 packages for DragonFly 2.5.x/i386 are ready, and already available on avalon.dragonflybsd.org. pkg_radd will fetch them.
Bret Lambert (blambert@), your friendly OpenBSD hacker in Norway, writes in about some hardware requests that have been added to want.html recently.
The requests focus on (for now) unsupported or partially supported hardware that is under active development. Machines like the Lemote Yeelong, more SGI hardware and USB infrared dongles are being asked for and Bret asked some of his fellow developers why they requested this gear. Please read on for their replies. Read more...
Jan Lentfer has an update for sendmail, an update for file, and also an update for groff. Apparently he really can whip it out.
(Man, it’s hard to track down the web page for ‘file’ with an Internet search without knowing some author names.)
There’s a number of things that all came together in the last 24 hours or so, which means: bullet points!
A build of pkgsrc-2009Q4 for DragonFly 2.4/i386 is complete, and uploading now to avalon.dragonflybsd.org. When the upload’s done, I’ll change the symlink so that pkg_radd downloads from the new collection. Builds for x86_64 and 2.5 will be done soon.
There’s a couple packages – lang/mono, devel/boost-libs – that can be fixed with some updates; I’ll do so next chance I get.
If you’re running DragonFly 2.5 and updated in the past week or so, and have UFS disks, there’s some instability introduced by Matthew Dillon’s recent work. It ought to be better by next week.
Users of Hammer, or of UFS only as /boot, don’t have anything to worry about.
Michael Dexter from BSD Fund writes in with an update on pcc developments:
Anders Magnusson (ragge@) reports that pcc can now build a bootable OpenBSD -current x86 kernel and that amd64 support is coming soon. Your testing using a fresh snapshot is greatly appreciated.
Please report any bugs in the pcc bug database and be as precise as possible. Code samples are welcome.
We'd like to thank Jonathan Gray (jsg@) for finding many code-generation bugs that were revealed by the kernel and also the dozen donors who contributed a total of over $750 to this effort this month, bringing us less than $3,000 from our goal.
This is great news for software projects in general, as it is another step to try to diminish the GCC monoculture and for OpenBSD specifically as this marks the first architecture kernel that can be compiled with this compiler with hopefully many more to come.
Claudio Jeker (claudio@), our favourite network hacker from Zürich, Switzerland, writes in with a story about his work on ospf6d:
A few days ago I decided it was time to enable ldpd(8) and ospf6d(8) in the builds since without additional attention they will never get finished. ldpd still needs a kernel with option MPLS enabled to be usable but this does not really matter here. This is about ospf6d and what drives me crazy about IPv6.

Tunnelling out of corporate networks - logs, collection and analysis I haven't heard too many people say good things about log analysis or monitoring but in reality it can be really simple and effective. More importantly, if you take the necessary steps to reduce your network to exposure to malware, log monitoring becomes really easy and fun. |
