Fix and improve LOCALBASE treatment
WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. More simply, Wordpress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it. WWW: http://cn.wordpress.org/ PR: ports/144370 Submitted by: Joe Horn
Class::DBI::Lite offers a simple way to deal with databases in an object-oriented way. One class (the Model class) defines your connection to the database (eg: connectionstring, username and password) and your other classes define interaction with one table each (your entity classes). The Entity classes subclass the Model class and automatically inherit its connection. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Class-DBI-Lite/

As if Alex Horning wasn’t busy enough with his Linuxulator update, he’s also made it possible to have a vinum root volume in conjunction with using devfs.
Alex Hornung has committed his initial work on Linux support, which is over 6,500 lines so far. (Thanks, Alex!) He’s continuing to work on it, though going by his commit message, Java, Opera, Tomcat, etc. are supported so far. The only major item missing at this point is Flash. There are other followups, such as this note about chrooting into the Linux subsystem.
According to this message from Dan Langille, registration for BSDCan is now open. The BSDCan conference this year is once again stuffed full of fantastic speakers from the BSD world including some of the OpenBSD developers and a few OpenBSD specific talks. Just to name a few:
It feels unfair to give the brief list above, so take a look at the full list of speakers and topics look here. If you want to join the BSDCan Announce look here.

Pre-orders are now being accepted for OpenBSD 4.7, which is scheduled for release on May 19th, 2010.
Fresh from the keyboards of the developers, this release brings us support for a new platform, Loongson, expanded SGI systems support, a large pf rewrite, a collection of new (athn(4), urndis(4), lom(4), etc) and improved drivers, a major overhaul of the pkg_*(1) tools and OpenSSH 5.4 to name just a few. Visit the 4.7 release page (which is at this moment still under construction) for more details.
Of course, a t-shirt and a poster are available too. Order your set NOW!
I’ve been building this one up:
“Device initiated power management” via AHCI is now possible, thanks to Johannes Hofmann. If I understand it correctly, it lets the computer handle power reductions automatically, which is more efficient than setting by hand.
Damian Vicino has posted about plans for an expanded second “BSDDay-AR” (a BSD event in Argentina) this year. If you want to show and give a talk, let him know. It’s always good to hear about a BSD event expanding.
I’ve applied for DragonFly for the 2010 Summer of Code program. I posted the details of the application, for the curious. The application period closes in the next 24 hours; hopefully we’ll be in again…
Jan Lentfer has accomplished something rather dramatic: the removal of BIND from the base system. It’s not actually out yet, but I daresay it will be after the 2.6 release, freeing people up to install any DNS server from pkgsrc – including BIND.
‘Walter’ asked about dealing with endless ssh port dictionary attacks. Several suggested changing ports and removing passwords, with opie(4) for when keyfiles aren’t available. Also, there’s various auto-blocking scripts, though they aren’t as useful nowadays.
Alex Hornung has taken on a very overdue and very necessary project: an update of linux binary support. His code is available for anyone who wants to try it. Testing so far is working, but it could really use something complex, like Java with OpenOffice or tomcat, or perhaps Firefox/Flash. Will it make it into the 2.6 release, which is potentially a week away? Maybe – testing like the above would help.
p.s. we would all individually owe Alex a beer for this.
Constantine Murenin has added wbsio(4) to DragonFly. It’s the ISA-attached version of the lm(4) sensor, if I remember correctly.
A short while ago, Marc Espie (espie@) wrote to the ports mailinglist with a short rant about autoconf. His mail gives good insights into the problems porters face when dealing with GNU software, especially those using autoconf.
Please read on for Marc's post: Read more...
I gots a Summer of Code org application to write up, so you get a linkdump:
An mp3 of “PFSense II, Rocking The Datacenter” at NYCBUG, via Dru Lavigne. Also, her “BSD for Linux Users” at the SCALE website.
A 5-part series about Scripting Vim, written by a terribly smart guy? Interesting! (Yeah, I did link to a part of it before…)
Have you ever wondered if building more than one pkgsrc package at a time can be a problem? Others have too, and apparently there’s a fix. If you don’t want to have to get to a command line to find the answer, it’s:
PKGSRC_LOCKTYPE?= none
The type of locking that will be done if competing processes
attempt to do work on one package directory simultaneously.
Possible values:
* none: No locking takes place at all.
* once: When the lock has already been aquired by another
process, the current process is terminated.
* sleep: When the lock has already been acquired by another
process, the current process will sleep for PKGSRC_SLEEPSECS
seconds and then try again.You should also set OBJHOSTNAME when you are using the same
copy of pkgsrc on different hosts, maybe via NFS. This is because the locking process writes its process ID into the lockfile, and process IDs on different hosts are unrelated.See also: LOCALBASE_LOCKTYPE, WRKDIR_LOCKTYPE.
BSDTV has been launched, with 3 videos to start. Will there be DragonFly content? I hope so. (found via this and this)
We have several potential Summer of Code mentors already, but if you want to get in on the action, let me know. Org applications start Monday, and I’d like a count before then…
Michael Neumann has added his port of the e1000 driver from FreeBSD, though he doesn’t recommend using it yet. He’s looking for testers who have this hardware.
The ‘freeze’ for pkgsrc-2010Q1 is scheduled to start March 16th, which will be right around the same time of the DragonFly 2.6 release. The freeze lasts 2 weeks, usually, so new packages for 2.6 will be built probably about mid-April, based on this info…
A new, free issue of BSD Magazine is out, with the theme of “BSD as a Desktop“. The next issue is “Hosting BSD”, and if that sounds interesting, Dru Lavigne is a contact for writing an article on that theme.
clang, which many people look to as a gcc replacement, is now able to build itself. (Thanks John Marino for the heads-up, some time ago) It can also build world and kernel on DragonFly, going on the work of Sascha Wildner!
Using the pkgsrc package, put
clang_CC=/usr/pkg/bin/clang
in /etc/compilers.conf and then set $CCVER to “clang” when building:
env WORLD_CCVER=clang make -DNO_GCC44 buildworld
I haven’t tried this, so any errors in description are mine, not Sascha’s – can someone verify? I don’t have a test system to run it on right now.
Edit: see Sascha’s comment for the definitive method.
I think I’ve almost caught up on my backlog of Things To Post:
The March issue of the Open Source Business Resource is up, with the theme of “Mobile”. The BeagleBoard and OpenBTS articles are going to appeal to some specific people.
More links from Dru Lavigne.
“It’s sinking in that Sun is gone“, the vi Complete Key Binding List, and Post-quantum cryptography, all ganked from Trivium.
OpenSSL version 0.9.8m has been imported by Peter Avalos; this version contains a bugfix for a security issue.
The iPad is BSD-based, which is neat. I like the notion of covering more BSD devices and products here on the Digest.
But: do you like even the vague concept of open source? The iPad is expressly designed to limit your choices, especially with media consumption and the programs you run. It’s sort of like owning a TV circa 1975 – you get what large media groups and the network (Apple) want you to see. I don’t want to come across as someone who’s complaining because it’s different – I’m complaining because it’s not different.
There’s other people arguing the same idea, with even more reasons. This is one of the most specific. Plus, there’s the natural progression…
