FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE named, final release coming!

• Development

Today Scott Long has named FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, this is a significant step toward final 5.3-RELEASE.

Please note that before the team has a PGP signed 5.3-RELEASE announcement, don’t download the ISOs even they have appeared on any site. We may still do changes after the naming.

Starting to use GAIM etc under FreeBSD

• Development

In order to touch more bugs in FreeBSD so I can fix it, I have switched to FreeBSD and installed GAIM, etc. Amazingly, it seems that 5-STABLE is much more stable then I expect :D

I have installed GAIM and OpenQ (Yes, thanks for all folks who ported it, while I rarely and rarely using QQ these days), and it’s quite good!

ReiserFS3.6 has been ported to FreeBSD!

• Kernel

Jean-Sébastien Pédron [jspedron club-internet.fr] has announced that he has ported ReiserFS 3.6 (from kernel 2.6.7) to FreeBSD (with only Read-Only support this time).

Scott Long suggests to import these to base because 6-CURRENT will have a focus on the file system. I suggested that we have a directory under somewhere in the src/ tree to keep these Linux bits so we can backport their fixes more easily and it should be better for us to rip these things out when we have re-written something from scratch.

Two PRs and an ongoing patch

• Development

ZHAO Xin (a colleague of mine) has pointed out that GNOME Simplified Chinese does not did a good work when displaying time. He then filed ports/72722 and ports/72723.

Adam Weinberger (adamw@, one of the major FreeBSD GNOME maintainers) has then pointed out that it might be better to contact the Simplified Chinese Translation team. In a private mail, I have explained that the root cause of the issue, however, is that our libc implementation does not implemented the GNU Extensions, say, the -_^0 extensions of strftime(3). Adam have then kindly approved that the patches should be committed, and we should have a long-run solution then finally remove them.

Investigating 5.3-RC1 panic

• Kernel

Before reporting this to the list, I would first gather enough information.

Alu’s server boxes is suffering in continued reboot when server is loaded. Because he is supporting FreeBSD by utilizing 5.3-RC1 in his production environment (and it’s moderately loaded as it is connected to the ChinaNet Backbone), and donated many devices for dedicated services of the FreeBSD China Community, I think we must help him to solve these out.

I have plugged a new kernel configuration on his box in order to obtain a (potential) crashdump and figure out what is happening. Maybe we will get it tomorrow.

Debian值得我们学习的地方

• Development

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。
