Hello and welcome to the third issue of the Gentoo Monthly Newsletter. We |
16 |
would like to thank our readers for their enthusiastic response, and hope |
17 |
that you will continue to write in. Although it may not be possible to |
18 |
respond to each and every one of you, we can assure you that every mail we |
19 |
receive is read and plays a role in shaping future editions of the GMN. |
20 |
Remember, the GMN is what its readers want it to be – please see the section |
21 |
on how you can get involved – at the end of the newsletter for more |
22 |
information. |

24 |
Last month we ran graphical statistics on an experimental basis. While most |
25 |
of you think they're a good idea in general, there seemed to be general |
26 |
dislike for 3D pie-charts. We've replaced two pie-charts with bar-graphs, and |
27 |
made the remaining pie-chart two dimensional. We've also split the package |
28 |
addition and removal lists by week, in hopes of improving readability. |
29 |
|

You can discuss any aspect of this issue of the GMN in the corresponding |
31 |
forum thread[1]. We look forward to hearing from you. |

Scherbaum last year, another Gentoo developer has written a book. Gunnar |
85 |
Wrobel's 'Gentoo Linux – Installation - Konfiguration - Administration[11]' |
86 |
hit the stores at the end of February. Both books are written in German. |

Council Meeting Summary |
92 |
----------------------- |
93 |
|
94 |
The Gentoo Council[12] held its monthly meeting on 13 March, 2008. The items |
95 |
put up for discussion were: |
96 |
|
97 |
12. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/ |
98 |
|
99 |
* Summer of Code (Should Gentoo developers be allowed to participate?): |
100 |
Council members will become additional SoC admins, and will serve as |
101 |
tiebreaker votes if they aren't actively participating in project |
102 |
selection. The SoC admins will decide whether non-contributors should be |
103 |
favored over contributors. |
104 |
* Package maintainers (Creation of a new post): The general agreement |
105 |
was that the current recruitment process serves its purpose very well. |
106 |
proxy-maintainers will be promoted more aggressively in order to attract |
107 |
new contributors. |
108 |
* AMD64 arch team's big bug list: Mike Doty[13] noted that it is hard |
109 |
to keep people interested in keywording. Anyone interested has had |
110 |
permission to keyword and stabilize non-system packages since 2007.1. |
111 |
* Open floor: It was decided that having a list of attendees for every |
112 |
meeting would be useful. Donnie Berkholz[14] will start creating the |
113 |
agenda along with the list in advance of the meeting. Diego Pettenò[15] |
114 |
will start working with the PR team on posting agenda and other items on |
115 |
a common Google calendar. |

|
121 |
Some items were rolled over from the previous meeting: |
122 |
|
123 |
* EAPI=0: Ciaran McCreesh has been contributing and has committed quite |
124 |
a few things. Mark Loeser[16] hopes to work on it in the next couple of |
125 |
weeks. EAPI=0 is probably a week of solid work away from having a draft |
126 |
for review. |
127 |
* GLEP 46 (Allow upstream tags in metadata.xml): No updates, as no |
128 |
authors were present. |
129 |
* Document of being an active developer: No updates. |
130 |
* Slacker arches: Mike Frysinger[17] said he was going to work on |
131 |
Richard Freeman[18]'s suggestion this weekend, and repost it for |
132 |
discussion on the development mailing list. |

lot of time? Join us on April 05 for our monthly bugday, and help us |
143 |
squash some bugs[20]. |
144 |
* Council Meeting[12]: The Gentoo Council meets every month to discuss |

Australia: linux.conf.au |
158 |
------------------------ |
159 |
|
160 |
Towards the end of January, a first happened for Gentoo in Australia. Roughly |
161 |
thirty users, developers and other Gentoo enthusiasts gathered into a lecture |
162 |
theatre at the University of Melbourne during 'linux.conf.au[21]' for a |
163 |
series of talks making up the first 'Gentoo Down Under Mini-Conf[22]' |
164 |
|
165 |
21. http://mel8ourne.org/ |
166 |
22. http://mel8ourne.org/programme/tuesday#gentoo |
167 |
|
168 |
The morning began with Sura Mendis's introduction to the Mini-Conf and - for |
169 |
those who had entered the wrong room - an introduction to exactly what Gentoo |
170 |
is. Unfortunately the talk focusing on the Gentoo Hardened project was |
171 |
cancelled, but that didn't seem to faze Ivan Miljenovic who stepped up to the |
172 |
mark and discussed many of the tools that can assist in everyday Gentoo |
173 |
administration. After morning tea, Patrick Ohearn gave his introduction to |
174 |
Paludis, followed by Mark Kowarsky[23] with pkgcore. Interestingly, no-one in |
175 |
the auditorium had used either of these, with only a handful having heard of |
176 |
them before. The Mini-Conf ended with Andrew Cowie delivering a talk first |
177 |
given at Gentoo UK 2007 entitled "Looking back up the river". It suffices to |
178 |
say it was very well done, and the discussions of the topic proceeded right |
179 |
through lunch. |

Germany: Chemnitzer Linuxtage |
195 |
----------------------------- |
196 |
|
197 |
This year Gentoo was present at the Chemnitzer Linuxtage[26] in Germany for |
198 |
the fifth time in a row, and it was indeed a massive success. As usual, there |
199 |
was a booth showing Gentoo on common architectures like x86 and amd64, but |
200 |
visitors could also see Gentoo running on an Efika PPC system, a Geode based |
201 |
media center built into a wooden box, and on a PPC featuring KDE 4.0.1 and in |
202 |
a prefixed Mac OS X. |

206 |
Tobias Scherbaum[27] held a talk[28] about building custom Live-CDs with |
207 |
catalyst and genkernel, but that wasn't all. The whole of saturday afternoon |
208 |
was dedicated to a developer meeting in the seminar room, which the team from |
209 |
the Chemnitzer Linuxtage provided (as well as a nice buffet). Short talks |
210 |
were given about interesting topics such as a review of supported |
211 |
architectures, Gentoo on OS X[29], Gentoo Vservers[30], the arch testing tool |
212 |
gatt[31], Overlays[32], Status of Kolab2[33] and general discussion about |
213 |
many more topics. Approximately 15 developers and users took the chance to |
214 |
have a both an interesting and amusing time. |

5. Tips and Tricks |
341 |
================== |
342 |
|
343 |
Encrypted USB Swap |
344 |
------------------ |
345 |
|
346 |
Large, high speed USB flash drives are now more affordable than ever. At |
347 |
sizes of 2GB and 4GB, these drives are an interesting alternative to swapping |
348 |
on disk. When machines are thrashing to and from swap, a relatively huge |
349 |
amount of time is spent seeking. Swapping on flash makes the seek time |
350 |
relatively negligible. |
351 |
|
352 |
Market Speak for Speed: Affordable drives boast sustained speeds of 20 MBps |
353 |
for writing and 30 MBps for reading. When purchasing flash drives, speeds are |
354 |
measured by factors such as 133X and 200X. The X factor is the same as for CD |
355 |
ROM drives: 150 KBps. |
356 |
|
357 |
Measuring the Speed: You can use the dd command to measure the speed of your |
358 |
drive for reading: |
359 |
|
360 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
361 |
| Code Listing 5.1 | |
362 |
| Using dd to measure speed | |
363 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
364 |
| $ dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000 iflag=direct | |
365 |
| | |
366 |
| # Or: (THIS COMMAND WILL OVERWRITE DATA ON YOUR DEVICE) | |
367 |
| | |
368 |
| $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct | |
369 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
370 |
|
371 |
Flash devices have an internal block size of 4K so it is important to specify |
372 |
a block size of at least this amount to accurately measure the device's |
373 |
optimal speed. |
374 |
|
375 |
Encypted USB Swap: Encrypting your swap prevents unencrypted sensitive data, |
376 |
such as passwords, from being stored on the flash drive. To enable |
377 |
encryption, your kernel must have the BLOCK_DEV_LOOP, BLOCK_DEV_CRYPTO_LOOP |
378 |
and CRYPTO_AES or CRYPTO_AES_X86_64 options enabled. |
379 |
|
380 |
Partitioning: While not strictly necessary, partitioning your drives makes |
381 |
the data easier to identify with the fdisk command. Partition your drive with |
382 |
fdisk and specify a partition type of 82. Find the unique name of your flash |
383 |
drive swap partition with: |
384 |

A word of Caution! Flash drives have a limited life span. For personal use, a |
431 |
flash drive can easily last years. For heavy duty use, using a hard drive may |
432 |
be a more appropriate alternative than occasionally replacing the flash |
433 |
drive. A typical flash drive will allow 10,000 or 100,000 writes per block. |
434 |
Decent flash drives use wear leveling techniques so that all the blocks wear |
435 |
out evenly. Considering the worst case, a 4GB drive which is written to |
436 |
constantly at 20MB/sec, a drive in such a situation would only last 23.7 to |
437 |
237 days. |

tmpwatch never sleeps |
440 |
--------------------- |
441 |
|
442 |
A cluttered /tmp is annoying, there are two possibilities to automatically |
443 |
prevent that. The first possibility is to use a feature of baselayout-2, |
444 |
simply set WIPE_TMP to "yes" in /etc/conf.d/bootmisc. The second possibility |
445 |
is to use tmpwatch: |
446 |
|
447 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
448 |
| Code Listing 5.1 | |
449 |
| Installing tmpwatch | |
450 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
451 |
| $ emerge tmpwatch | |
452 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
453 |
|
454 |
It will install a cron entry: /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch. Uncomment one or all |
455 |
of the examples in the file. You can also write your own, such as: |
456 |
|
457 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
458 |
| Code Listing 5.2 | |
459 |
| Custom tmpwatch cron entry | |
460 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
461 |
| | |
462 |
| # Delete everything except what is owned by one user | |
463 |
| | |
464 |
| if [[ -d /tmp ]]; then | |
465 |
| ${TMPWATCH} --exclude-user andrey --atime 168 /tmp | |
