CVS

By Google’ing the web I got a 1.1.5.1-RELEASE tarball. FreeBSD 1.x was based on Net/2 and the USL lawsuit has caused FreeBSD project to re-start from 4.4BSD-Lite2, and 1.1.5.1 was the last 1.x RELEASE permitted to be released.

I have employed the following (ugly) script for MFC’ing, as I do not want to really make big difference between FreeBSD and my fork version:

Today I have finally started my lightweight fork of FreeBSD. The methodlity taken was, use the official mirror (cvsup5.cn)’s cvsup service and derive my own repository with CVSup’s local repository ablity by disabling its delete function, and exploiting FreeBSD’s stock CVS’s local branch numbering feature.

Wow… Erwin Lansing is requesting for a pointy hat with a blinking light in the top :-)

It seems that OpenBSD people has then patched cvs vulnerablity, though. In this version, OpenBSD has pf(4) improved a lot!

节录自2004.04.27日记

今天遇到有这么多事情需要去平，我开始有精疲力竭的感觉了，但是我知道自己不能倒下，不能退缩，因为我并不是自己一个人，还有一票兄弟在跟我一起做毕业设计，我必须向前冲，无论这个目标看上去多么的不可行——就像前几天在游泳池里面一样。我实在很不喜欢「死扛」这两个字，然而，这次我必须死扛。

由于之前的各种各样的原因，Grid Distribute已经到达了「必须立即提速」之前可以容忍的极限。预定的「原形最晚交付时间」是明天0点，但目前为止，接口定义只完成了不到10%，作为项目组长，我负有不可推卸的责任。

I have turned on cvs commit activities check on cvs.delphij.net. This will help us to have more accurate work statistion. This was done by writing a script named “awake” and some tweaks in CVSROOT/log_accum.pl

Today FreeBSD has upgraded CVS in their source tree, from 1.11.5 to 1.11.15, which addresses numerous security issues.

Finally we were grant the permission of opening the technical forum again at frontfree.net, after several days of delay due to the election in Taiwan.

Someone (name not disclosed as this is potentially to generate trouble for him) has asked me to help upgrade his FreeBSD 4.3 deployment to a “workable” state.
