Gentoo 2007.0, code named "Secret Sauce", is released |
12 |
----------------------------------------------------- |
13 |
|
14 |
The Gentoo Release Engineering[1] project is pleased to announce the |
15 |
much-delayed release of Gentoo Linux 2007.0, code named "Secret Sauce". This |
16 |
release met with several delays due to an abnormally high number of security |
17 |
vulnerabilities in large packages which had to be rebuilt using the newer, |
18 |
secure versions of the packages. There was also a complete re-snapshot done |
19 |
about half-way through the release period due to the release taking so long |
20 |
and the packages becoming stale. |

Recent Coreutils update and shell script issues |
31 |
----------------------------------------------- |
32 |
|
33 |
If you recently updated coreutils, or are planning your next emerge -avNDu |
34 |
world while reading this, you might want to take note of some important |
35 |
changes. The recent update to sys-apps/coreutils moved some utilities around |
36 |
a bit. Some moved from /bin to /usr/bin, others, maybe because they felt the |
37 |
inodes were greener in the other directory, flipped from /usr/bin to /bin. |
38 |
While there are many important reasons these files moved, including to |
39 |
provide access to the tools while in single user mode, for instance, what is |
40 |
more important for those affected is knowing what this means for your shell |
41 |
scripts. How to look for problems, and, if necessary, how to fix your |
42 |
scripts. |
43 |
|
44 |
For many people, most scripts are run as root through cron, and might have |
45 |
taken the precaution of hard coding the path of each and every binary in the |
46 |
script (it is generally considered a more secure method of scripting, you |
47 |
can get more detail at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-548833.html). |
48 |
Hopefully, those paths to the location of the binaries in a variable at the |
49 |
beginning of the script, such as: |
50 |
|
51 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
52 |
| Code Listing 1.1 | |
53 |
| Example script | |
54 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
55 |
| #!/bin/bash | |
56 |
| MYNOHUP=/usr/bin/nohup | |
57 |
| MYCOMMAND=/usr/local/bin/somecommand | |
58 |
| $MYNOHUP $MYCOMMAND | |
59 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
60 |
|
61 |
This way, there is only one edit to make in the script. Of course, this |
62 |
isn't the only solution. In a recent discussion on the gentoo-dev mailing |
63 |
list, many potential solutions were offered. You can read the thread at |
64 |
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_144236.xml. One potential solution |
65 |
is to completely forgo the full path to binaries in your shell scripts. By |
66 |
ensuring that the PATH variable is properly set at the beginning of your |
67 |
scripts, this entire issue is completely avoidable. In fact, for those that |
68 |
currently subscribe to this method of shell scripting, the coreutils update |
69 |
may have gone completely unnoticed. A good default for the PATH variable in |
70 |
your scripts would be: |
71 |
|
72 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
73 |
| Code Listing 1.2 | |
74 |
| Default PATH example | |
75 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
76 |
| PATH=${PATH}:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin | |
77 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
78 |
|
79 |
Obviously, one might want to check the path of the binaries for more |
80 |
esoteric paths, for example /opt/vmware/server/bin is the location for |
81 |
VMWare Server utilities. Another option mentioned was the command -p program |
82 |
method. From the man page, command -p will "perform the command search using |
83 |
a default value for PATH that is guaranteed to find all of the standard |
84 |
utilities". This appears to be a fairly safe method of executing a command, |
85 |
albeit at the cost of a few extra keystrokes. Also, since command is a built |
86 |
in bash utility, it doesn't actually exist on the file system and is |
87 |
therefore immune to the changes made by coreutils. This of course assumes |
88 |
one is using the bash shell by default, which is a safe bet for most Linux |
89 |
users. |
90 |
|
91 |
Similar to command, env runs a program in a modified environment. Simply |
92 |
calling env program will run your utility with a drastically stripped-down |
93 |
path; /bin:/usr/bin according to the email thread. Contrary to the command |
94 |
utility, env is a file on the local file system and exists, via symbolic |
95 |
links, in both /bin and /usr/bin. |
96 |
|
97 |
Ultimately, the solution you choose is largely a matter of preference and |
98 |
personal experience. Your best bet is to experiment with the solutions |
99 |
listed above to find the one with which you are most comfortable. With your |
100 |
new-found knowledge, there is one last thing to do. You will need to make |
101 |
sure that you find the scripts running on your system and test them for |
102 |
problems. You can manually ran each of them in debug mode to look for |
103 |
issues. |
104 |
|
105 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
106 |
| Code Listing 1.3 | |
107 |
| Running a bash command in debug mode | |
108 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
109 |
| $ bash -x sample_cron_job | |
110 |
| + /bin/echo 'Hello World!' | |
111 |
| Hello World! | |
112 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
113 |
|
114 |
You will also want to look in /usr/local/bin for scripts (if that is where |
115 |
you keep them) and also /etc/conf.d/local.start and /etc/conf.d/local.stop. |
116 |
If everything works, then you are in great shape! |

Status of Gentoo MIPS |
126 |
|
127 |
Developer Alexander Færøy writes into his blog about the current optimistic |
128 |
status of the MIPS herd. With the addition of Bryan Østergaard, who will be |
129 |
working on general porting, and Richard Brown, who will be working on ruby |
130 |
support, the progress of bringing this architecture up to speed is |
131 |
accelerating toward the 2007.0 release. Alexander also mentions that they |
132 |
are seeking new recruits to "join the coolest team within Gentoo" and talks |
133 |
about his successes with their new Movidis[3] box. |

144 |
Jesse Adelman wrote into gentoo-user to ask how to be able to do an emerge |
145 |
-uDN world, but have portage not update one package. Jesse had a version of |
146 |
MythTV that had been removed from the tree that he wished to keep. However, |
147 |
the version in the tree was between a newer and older version, thus causing |
148 |
portage to want to downgrade if he simply put the newer version in |
149 |
package.mask. Vikas Kumar suggested the often forgotten |
150 |
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided. A package placed in this file will |
151 |
not be updated unless another package necessarily depends on a newer |
152 |
version. More information about package.provided is available in the portage |
153 |
man page. Developer Zac Medico suggested to instead simply mask the package |
154 |
versions that are both higher and lower than the version Jesse wanted to |
155 |
keep, which is the best solution. |

hacking is not required, but motivation to learn is the main qualification. |
165 |
Being a Gentoo developer is not required to offer assistance and could be a |

This section lists packages that have either been moved or added to the tree |

and packages that have had their "last rites" announcement given to be |
311 |
removed in the future. The package removals come from many locations, |
312 |
including the Treecleaners[12] and various developers. Most packages which |
313 |
are listed under the Last Rites section are in need of some love and care |
314 |
and can remain in the tree if proper maintainership is established. |
