Debian值得我们学习的地方

很多人管Debian叫「大便」，不过这里我还是宁愿称其为Debian。

今天ld说了Debian的包的一个比较有意思的维护模式，我之前也了解一些，那就是它的stable和unstable包。Stable和Unstable两种。

We're likely to cut 5.3-RELEASE one week later!!

Scott Long, the Release Engineering Team Lead, has announced the “Final MFC Call” which means we must MFC all changes in the next 24 hours. A Release Candidate would be tagged soon (in 1 day) by creating RELENG_5_3 branch.

Accroding to the historical release engineering practice, we will release at least two release candadites. However, the release engineering team thought that we have seven (7) beta releases and we may reduce the need of RC’s to only one.

为什么我反对从头编写操作系统的个人努力(1)

我在许多场合公开地发表过类似的意见，有时言辞比较激烈，有时只是委婉地反对。

这种意见，同意也好，不同意也好，我希望其他人能够把它当作一种意见，而不是某种强加于人的意志。我只是说出自己的看法，并不要求任何人接受——如果他们认为这是对的，愿意接受，我当然很高兴；但如果他们觉得我说的有道理而不愿意接受，那是他们的问题；如果他们觉得我说的没道理，我很希望看到反驳的意见。我始终相信，真理越辩越明。

其实，最关键的问题就在于，我们没有必要重新发明轮子。在阐述这个观点之前，我希望大家能够接受一个密码学界的常识，即安全不能建立在别人不知道的基础上。另一个常识是，安全总是从最薄弱的环节被突破的，不要去尝试解决最强点上的问题——因为那不解决问题。

ASP.net forum deployed

It seems that sater@ have deployed the necessary resources for ASP.net forum on Frontfree’s internal network. I have not read the code but I wish this a success.

A script to update site periodically through CVSup(R)

The script I am using for updating my own website(s) is not quite complex, it is here:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14

#!/bin/sh
# Detect and update the files
#
# $Phantasm$

CVSROOT="/home/ncvs"
SUPFILE="/home/delphij/cvsup/supfile-delphijweb"
LOCKFILE="/home/delphij/cvsup/cvsup-lock"

if [ -f ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/commitlogs/have_updates ]
then
	rm ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/commitlogs/have_updates
	cvsup -1gL 2 ${SUPFILE}
fi

Of course you need some CVSROOT scripts to get it work, but the idea is not too complex.

5.3-RC1 today

Today FreeBSD will have its 5.3-RC1 if there is no other problem occours. I have sent a private mail to Doug Barton about a strange issue I have in BIND9, however, it does seem to be serious enough nor it is clear to determine the impact. I may post it later on a public list.

5.3-RC1 is also the point that I can suggest you to install 5-STABLE instead of 4-STABLE because most of the show-stopping issues are addressed and being corrected.

beastie.frontfree.net is now running bind 9.3

I finally got beastie.frontfree.net running bind 9.3 (as FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 does, which is chroot’ed by default). While this is accomplished primarily with help of src/UPDATING’s instructions and Doug Barton’s excellent mergemaster(8). BIND stands for “Berkeley Internet Name Daemon” and is the de-facto standard of DNS implementation.

The FreeBSD Handbook (Simplified Chinese) committed!

Hiroki has committed it on behalf of me (doc/ freeze is imminent) today.

Praying for the FreeBSD Simplified Chinese Handbook to get committed

I have set the final tag for it and uploaded a copy to http://people.freebsd.org/~delphij/doc_CNPROJ_20040925.tbz and I hope this can soon get committed so 5.3 will have Handbook in Simplified Chinese.

I have fixed countless language issues in this snapshot… Weber has claimed that he will help out to find more.

Different _rc_subr_loaded approach adopted by FreeBSD and NetBSD

The RCng system was developed by NetBSD and FreeBSD have adopted it. _rc_subr_loaded is a flag that both system adopts to speed up the startup.

The FreeBSD approach is to determine whether to run for the whole rc.subr script, while NetBSD approach is to define it as a “:” so rc_subr won’t be loaded.

Which is better?
