Cross compiling bugs fixed
One and half yes ago, gniibe filed a bunch of bugs to BTS.
At the Debconf6 Hacklab, gniibe rescan those bugs. Finding some bugs
were already fixed, and closed #280884, #283032, and #284439.
University of Colombo
Today, gniibe is visiting University of Colombo.
He expects to see the four guys (being Debian Developers) again, sometime in this week.
FAM rebuild and G++ ABI Change
As investigated, fam rebuild is needed, because of G++ ABI Change.
To do that, we need to change the package name, if gniibe
understands correctly.
QwikWeb in Debian
Gniibe is about to package QwikWeb for Debian.
How I became Debian Developer
Gniibe presented a talk on 'How I became Debian Developer'.
Morioka mentioned reinventing wheel *is* requirement for futher innovations sometimes, gniibe agreed. Gniibe noted that it is easier writing new code than understanding old code, so people tend to write new code without good understanding of old one. Gniibe said reinventing wheel intentionally with good understanding is welcome.
/etc/modprobe.d/arch/m32r.something
Gniibe received a message from Marco. Gniibe didn't know
there was no support for m32r in module-init-utils yet.
Back in Japan, gniibe will do that.
Gniibe left Oldenburg, visited Bremen for a hour, then back to Hamburg. Will fly to Zurich, then Tokyo.
GCC in Debian
Gniibe had a concern about Binary Only NMU of gcc-3.4 in Debian.
Today, he filed a report to improbe situation: Bug#329820.
Besides, M32R-Linux project had a update for M32R's libffi in gcc-3.4 in Debian.
Gniibe filed a report for it: Bug#329893.
Linux kernel in Debian (2)
Gniibe didn't know that <cpu>-linux is obsolete,
but it's now <cpu>-linux-gnu in Debian.
Gniibe tried to support M32R for linux-2.6-2.6.12 source package, sent a bug report: Bug#329739.
Linux kernel in Debian
Gniibe didn't know that make-kpkg and building kernel-image from kernel-source
is obsolete.
Gniibe tries to support M32R for linux-2.6-2.6.12 source package this week.
Oldenburg 2005 (3)
Gniibe arrived Oldenburg University.
Thanks Joey, to bring me there. Gniibe found that there is the bus 306 which goes to University.
Oldenburg 2005 (2)
Gniibe left Japan to join
Oldenburg meeting.
Oldenburg 2005
Gniibe will join
Oldenburg meeting.
Gniibe is seeking flights. This season seemed very crowded from/to Europe.
Ghostscript buggy?
I don't know what's the problem, but ps2pdf doesn't work for me.
I wrote using prosper. From second page, it's landscape, good. But the firstpage is portrait. Ummm...
Debian Developer
Finally, gniibe becomes debian developer.
GTK2+ 2.6 in SID and applications
Gniibe upgraded sid, and found some issues in sylpheed-gtk2 and epiphany.
In epiphany, invoking 'Find' through menu doesn't work, while Ctrl+F works well. In sylpheed-gtk2, focus in folders didn't move as before.
Debian New Maintainer Status
New Maintainer Status Page seems has problem today.
gniibe checked this page today, and saw
Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"? in /org/nm.debian.org/web/common.inc on line 17gniibe understood that it runs on PostgreSQL.
Problem with connecting to database:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource in /org/nm.debian.org/web/common.inc on line 18
Debian New Maintainer Process
gniibe's status has been changed.
Now, all that remains is only account creation.
Guess, which comes first, the account creation or the end of fsck of the storage of snapshot.debian.net.
Exim4 with TLS server feature
Here at LinuxTag, the connection to SMTP is prohibited.
Connections to SSMTP (465/tcp) or SUBMISSION (587/tcp) are allowed.
So, I thought that setup my exim4 server with SSMTP. I added a file /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_enable_tls, which contents are:
So far, so good. But I found that the network where my server resides has 465 port disabled. Duh.MAIN_TLS_ENABLE=true tls_on_connect_ports = 465 daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 465
OpenLDAP 2.2 in Debian
I had a problem using OpenLDAP 2.2 in Debian.
I forgot when I've done it, but I've upgraded our LDAP to OpenLDAP2.2.
I use the feature of 'syncrepl', the client side replication. The primary server runs on HIKARU, and secondary server runs on AKIRA. AKIRA polls, and whenever HIKARU has update, AKIRA gets its information. But after the update, this feature has not worked for a while.
When upgrading OpenLDAP and dumping the database , I think that I needed specify '-m' option for slapcat to preserve the syncrepl provider information. Perhaps.
-m Include syncProviderSubentry of the syncrepl provider in the
generated LDIF output.
The fixes are that, reload the database using slapadd with appropriate
options.
-p If the LDIF input represents a syncrepl consumer replica, pro-
mote it to the syncrepl provider's content after adding the
entries.
-r If the LDIF input represents a syncrepl provider, demote it
to the syncrepl consumer replica after adding the entries.
-w When used with either -p or -r, rebuild the new syncrepl infor-
mation from the contents of the added entries. The syncrepl
information contained in the LDIF input file is ignored.
Following was what I did:
- Stop LDAP (both of primary and secondary): /etc/init.d/slapd stop
- Dump its database: slapcat -b dc=fsij,dc=org -l fsij-20050614.ldif
- Primary side: slapadd -b dc=fsij,dc=org -p -w -l fsij-20050614.ldif
- Secondary side: slapadd -b dc=fsij,dc=org -r -w -l fsij-20050614.ldif
- Start LDAP (both of primary and secondary): /etc/init.d/slapd start
Debian kernel 2.6.11
Today, I installed kernel 2.6.11 (from Debian kernel-source 2.6.11-5) for my notebook
PC, Sharp Mebius Muramasa.
I've heard that Debian now has kernel team and how they work (in Beijing by Simon). I found that the kernel-source looks very good. In May 2004, it was not so good, there were some questionable Debian-only things for 2.6 kernel. I chose installing vanilla 2.6.x at that time.
Now, I consider Debian kernel-source is good. Next, I will try to cross build kernel-image from kernel-source.
