Council Meeting Summary |
40 |
----------------------- |
41 |
|
42 |
The Gentoo Council[5] held its monthly meeting on May 8, 2008. The items put |
43 |
up for discussion were: |
44 |
|
45 |
5. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/ |
46 |
|
47 |
* Active-developer document: We reviewed it and made some suggestions |
48 |
for improving both the document and the online developer list (adding |
49 |
dates). |
50 |
* ChangeLog entries: Always required. If you aren't making them now, |
51 |
fix your script to call echangelog. |
52 |
* Ignored arch-team bugs: What's the workflow for undermanned arch |
53 |
teams? Can we improve it? |
54 |
* 8-digit versions: Ask package maintainers with extremely long PVs |
55 |
whether they were needed and test the impact of extending |
56 |
versionator.eclass. Make decision once this data is available. |
57 |
* Enforced retirement: After 2.5 hours on the previous topics, people |
58 |
had to go to sleep and jokey[6]'s computer broke. Instead of waiting till |
59 |
the next regular meeting, because of its urgency, we scheduled a special |
60 |
session next week at the same time. The appeals will *not* be decided |
61 |
then -- it's about figuring out the validity and the process. |
62 |
* New meeting process: 105 minutes were closed and 57 were open. It |
63 |
might save some time if we always moderated, but it won't cut it in half. |
64 |
Should we keep doing this, or modify it a little to have a moderated |
65 |
#gentoo-council and open backchannel? |
66 |
|
67 |
6. jokey@g.o |
68 |
|
69 |
Some items were rolled over from the previous meeting: |
70 |
|
71 |
* Document of being an active developer: araujo[7] made |
72 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~araujo/gcert1.pdf in Scribus. He'd like to ask for |
73 |
approval of this design and discuss the script, in particular its |
74 |
infrastructure requirements. |
75 |
* Slacker arches: No updates |
76 |
|
77 |

78 |
|
79 |
Coming Up |
80 |
--------- |
81 |
|
82 |
* LinuxTag Berlin[8]: The biggest European Linux event is on again. On |
83 |
the Berlin Fairgrounds, Gentoo will be featured again. Join developers |
84 |
and users on the booth between May 28 and 31, we hope it'll be as much |
85 |
fun as Chemnitz was! |
86 |
* Bugday[9]: Looking for a way to help out Gentoo without investing a |
87 |
lot of time? Join us on June 07 for our monthly bugday, and help us |
88 |
squash some bugs[10]. |
89 |
* Council Meeting[5]: The Gentoo Council meets every month to discuss |
90 |
important technical issues that affect Gentoo as a whole. This month's |
91 |
meeting is scheduled to be held on June 12, and everyone is welcome to |
92 |
participate - #gentoo-council on irc.freenode.net at 2000UTC. |
93 |
* Trustees Meeting: There will be a trustees meeting on June 22 - |
94 |
#gentoo-trustees on irc.freenode.net at 1900 UTC. The agenda will be |
95 |
posted in the channel's topic closer to the meeting time. All are welcome |
96 |
to attend. |

Interview: Google Summer of Code Student Eric Thibodeau |
108 |
------------------------------------------------------- |
109 |
|
110 |
GSOC has started, and GMN editor Anant Narayanan[11] has interviewed one of |
111 |
Gentoo's students, Eric Thibodeau[12]. |
112 |
|
113 |

115 |
|
116 |
GMN: Give us a brief introduction of yourself. Where are you from? Where and |
117 |
what do you study? What's your homepage or other means for fans to stalk you? |
118 |
|
119 |
Eric: I am from Montréal, Québec (Canada) and have been studying at the École |
120 |
de technologies supérieures (aka ETS) since 2000. I've completed a bachelor's |
121 |
degree in Electrical Engineering (Information Technology profile) and was |
122 |
offered to continue on with a masters in parallel processing and |
123 |
Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm profiling which I am hoping/have to finish |
124 |
this summer ;). I've given BASH labs and classes at that same University on |
125 |
and off depending on my time availability (now why am I giving a lab this |
126 |
summer is beyond me ;) ). |
127 |
|
128 |
I use my personal wiki (http://wiki.neuralbs.com) mostly as a sandbox for |
129 |
jotting down stuff I do with Gentoo. I am not a big fan of personal web pages |
130 |
since they are outdated by definition and would require too much of my time. |
131 |
The best way to reach me is usually by poking at me on Freenode where I lurk |
132 |
around and pester the really smart people from |
133 |
#gentoo-(cluster|science|server). |
134 |
|
135 |
GMN: Were you already involved with Gentoo and/or open source in general |
136 |
before acceptance into SoC? If yes, briefly tell us how you got involved and |
137 |
why you like writing open source code. |
138 |
|
139 |
Eric: I've been mostly involved with Gentoo as a sysadmin, user and a |
140 |
preacher (of some sorts). Due to my studies, my involvement usually revolved |
141 |
around creating ebuilds for packages that were missing from the tree (ie: |
142 |
OpenMPI which I was really glad a real dev took over ;) ), reporting bugs and |
143 |
sharing my experience/expertise surrounding parallel processing, NFS booted |
144 |
Gentoo SSI (Single System Image) and High Performance Computing. |
145 |
|
146 |
GMN: How has your experience with the Gentoo community been so far? |
147 |
|
148 |
Eric: I can't really give an assessment of the Gentoo "community" since I've |
149 |
been using Gentoo since 2002 and might be biased by my first impression which |
150 |
was 1) excellent documentation, 2) The "raison d'être" of open-source and |
151 |
Linux: software compiled and optimized specifically for your hardware and |
152 |
finally 3) A very active community where anyone can easily contribute |
153 |
(ebuilds are just text files). |
154 |
|
155 |
GMN: Please tell our readers a little about the project you're working on, |
156 |
and why you think it will be helpful to Gentoo users. What was your |
157 |
inspiration for starting the project? What do you expect to achieve with it? |
158 |
|
159 |
Eric: I'll be working on building a Gentoo LiveCD/DVD with a twist: it will |
160 |
be used to create a Beowulf computation cluster "on the fly". I picked this |
161 |
project up after seeing a request for such a CD on the gentoo-science mailing |
162 |
list (it was actually "if there is someone crazy enough out there"). |
163 |
|
164 |
What prompted me to take on the project is the fact that I have rebuilt a |
165 |
cluster a few years back by creating my own Gentoo SSI and cluster head node. |
166 |
The process was long, frustrating, half-documented and mostly not completed |
167 |
to my satisfaction due to lack of tool integration and poor reproducibility |
168 |
of my setup. My primary goal is to make clustering under Gentoo more |
169 |
accessible and faster to deploy rather than learning every bits and pieces |
170 |
required to build such an infrastructure. |
171 |
|
172 |
GMN: What do you do when you're not coding? (hobbies, interests, favorite |
173 |
T.V. shows etc.) |
174 |
|
175 |
Eric: Apart from coming up with excuses to stay in front of the computer to |
176 |
"chat with this otherwise never accessible godlike dev" on IRC, I enjoy |
177 |
taking care of my nine month old daughter, watching off-beat movies with my |
178 |
girlfriend. Although it's been a while since I've had a chance to do so, I |
179 |
usually help out in designing some eccentric clothing |
180 |
(http://www.mekkreations.com) which tend to reuse computer parts (hard disks |
181 |
are so cool!) |
182 |
|
183 |
GMN: Thanks for your time, and wish you all the best for the Summer! |

Porthole 0.6.0 nearing release |
186 |
------------------------------ |
187 |
|
188 |
Porthole[13] is a gtk+ Portage tree browser and front-end. It strives to put |
189 |
the most important and useful information there for you to learn about a |
190 |
package before deciding to upgrade or install it. It also provides the most |
191 |
commonly used emerge operations with just a click or two. One of Porthole's |
192 |
greatest features is that information is much quicker to find, especially if |
193 |
you do not know what you are looking for. Porthole can search for (partial or |
194 |
complete) package names, as well as searching package descriptions. |
195 |
|
196 |
13. http://porthole.sourceforge.net/ |
197 |
|
198 |
Porthole allows you to easily select and set USE flags, keywords, select |
199 |
specific versions to emerge or unmerge, and toggle any of the emerge options |
200 |
off or on. There is also a "Run Custom Command" option to send nearly any |
201 |
command to Porthole's terminal. The terminal has configurable message |
202 |
filtering (since before Portage implemented elog capabilities) and has a |
203 |
command queue that can be paused and restarted. |
204 |
|
205 |
New in porthole-0.6.0 is a saved description database that Porthole creates |
206 |
and automatically updates when it sees that the Portage tree has been |
207 |
updated. This provides for very fast description searches even on older |
208 |
slower hardware. The results are browseable with just a mouse click. |
209 |
|
210 |
Another new feature in porthole-0.6.0 is the ability to add "Sets" support to |
211 |
existing Portage versions without waiting for portage-2.2 or switching to |
212 |
pkgcore or paludis. Sets let you easily create your own package groups such |
213 |
as a custom Gnome set, a server set, etc. |
214 |
|
215 |
Porthole is available in several languages, and its developers are looking |
216 |
for volunteers to update the translations and add new languages. They would |
217 |
also like additional arch testing. Follow its development on Bugzilla[14] and |
218 |
this forum thread[15]. |

Project Sunrise: the Gentoo user overlay |
224 |
---------------------------------------- |
225 |
|
226 |
We all know that the Portage tree is huge, but even with the size of Portage, |
227 |
sometimes some package is missing: a plug-in for some specific mail client, |
228 |
or a brand-new fork of a web server. In such cases, you'd usually file a bug |
229 |
at bugs.gentoo.org[16], but there's some chance your ebuilds won't make it to |
230 |
the tree from there, at least not for awhile. |
231 |
|
232 |
16. http://bugs.gentoo.org |
233 |
|
234 |
The trouble is "maintainer-wanted@g.o" in the AssignedTo field, which |
235 |
indicates that a Gentoo developer has yet to step up and maintain your |
236 |
package. How about being your own maintainer of a package? Guess what: it's |
237 |
possible! |
238 |
|
239 |
Thanks to Project Sunrise[17], you can make your own ebuild and add it to a |
240 |
package overlay maintained by users. After a review of your ebuild by Gentoo |
241 |
developers (which usually takes at most two days), everyone will be able to |
242 |
easily install your ebuild, as transparently as if it was in the Portage |
243 |
tree. |

Interview with Donnie Berkholz |

Gentoo developer Donnie Berkholz[19] talked to David Abbott of |

He described how he became a developer and his work on X, the council, and |
265 |
the public relations team and the Summer of Code project he's mentoring for. |
266 |
Donnie also recommended the best video cards to buy if you want to support |
267 |
open source. He saw the Linux desktop's future as increasing integration and |
268 |
security. Here's how Donnie described how Gentoo makes progress and where to |
269 |
go from here: |
270 |
|
271 |
"The more time I spend in Gentoo, the more I realize that it's the individual |
272 |
developers who really drive most of our innovations. They don't happen |
273 |
because the council makes a decision. They happen because the developer, or a |
274 |
few of them, think that it sounds like a cool idea, and make it happen." |
275 |
|
276 |
"Making Gentoo great is my biggest goal right now, and greatness is a |
277 |
process. It's not a place. So you can't get somewhere and say you're great. |
278 |
You always have to keep striving for it. For a while we've been content to |
279 |
stick with the status quo instead of striving for greatness, but we have to |
280 |
change that and to always improve Gentoo." |

Using it is easy: |
389 |
|
390 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
391 |
| Code Listing 4.2 | |
392 |
| Using IPTraf | |
393 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
394 |
| $ iptraf | |
395 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
396 |
|
397 |
It is a highly advanced ncurses interface. You can choose view your network |
398 |
status from many angles: IP traffic by port and IP address, general interface |
399 |
statistics such as number of packets passing through, speed and volume of |
400 |
packets passing through, and much more. |
401 |
|
402 |
Another network monitor is vnstat. This program is useful for historical |
403 |
statistics. It keeps a database for your interfaces. |
404 |
|
405 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
406 |
| Code Listing 4.3 | |
407 |
| Installing vnstat | |
408 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
409 |
| # emerge vnstat | |
410 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
411 |
|
412 |
It will need an hour to gather enough statistics. vnstat is installed with a |
413 |
cron script (/etc/cron.hourly/vnstat) that updates vnstat's database every |
414 |
hour. Once you have enough data in the database you can get hourly, daily, |
415 |
and monthly data from vnstat. For example, to see hourly statistics: |
416 |
|
417 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
418 |
| Code Listing 4.4 | |
419 |
| Viewing hourly statistics | |
420 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
421 |
| $ vnstat -h | |
422 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
423 |
|
424 |
A third program is iftop. iftop does for networking what top does for CPU |
425 |
usage. It shows you which connections have the most traffic going in and out. |
426 |
Install iftop: |
427 |
|
428 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
429 |
| Code Listing 4.5 | |
430 |
| Installing iftop | |
431 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
432 |
| # emerge iftop | |
433 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
434 |
|
435 |
Then run and use it just like top: |
436 |
|
437 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
438 |
| Code Listing 4.6 | |
439 |
| Running iftop | |
440 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
441 |
| $ iftop | |
