Boston Linux World Expo: The Après-Show report |
12 |
----------------------------------------------- |
13 |
|
14 |
The Linux World Conference and Exposition was held last week at the Hynes |
15 |
Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Gentoo Linux had a booth |
16 |
in the .org pavilion, nestled between the friendly folks from Fedora and |
17 |
that lovable lot from the Linux Terminal Server Project. On display were |
18 |
an array of systems demonstrating the wide array of architectures that |
19 |
Gentoo is available for. The main draw was clearly the diminutive Mac Mini |
20 |
with the big cinema screen, brought by Daniel Ostrow[1]. Also present were |
21 |
Daniel's Sparc Ultra 60, several x86 laptops, and an AMD64 and several |
22 |
embedded goodies brought by Mike Frysinger[2]. |

Besides the perennial requests for CDs (which we had) and T-shirts (which |
50 |
we didn't), there was a steady flow of interest in the PPC release, and a |
51 |
gratifying number of comments by people who have come to realize that |
52 |
Gentoo has a role to play in the enterprise. Also of note was the |
53 |
forthcoming launch of a Gentoo-based startup[13] that will provide custom |
54 |
binary packages to subscribing users through standard Portage mechanisms. |
55 |
A highlight of the week was the anti-bof, where 30-40 users and developers |
56 |
took over the top floor of the Globe Bar and Grill and got the chance to |
57 |
meet and mingle in person. |

This was the first year that the LWE was held in Boston, instead of New |
61 |
York, and by all accounts, it was a success. There was a twenty percent |
62 |
increase in vendor exhibits, and attendance was up by a similar amount. It |
63 |
seems likely that LWE will return again next winter, so start making plans |
64 |
for next year. Thanks to everyone who helped to make our presence at the |
65 |
show a success. For those on the west coast, LWE will be in San Francisco |
66 |
from 8 to 11 August. If you are interested in helping with the Gentoo |
67 |
booth at that meeting, please contact the PR team. |

Last call for FOSDEM |
70 |
-------------------- |
71 |
|
72 |
More than 40 Gentoo developers, activists and power users have confirmed |
73 |
their presence at this year's FOSDEM[14] on 26 and 27 February in Brussels |
74 |
at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. The local youth hostel has literally |
75 |
been taken over by the participants in the DevRoom organised by Gentoo at |
76 |
Europe's largest open-source conference, and the schedule is packed with |
77 |
presentations by developers from all over Europe. Saturday night life in |
78 |
Brussels will make it challenging to keep the tight schedule for the |
79 |
Gentoo developer meeting on Sunday morning. |

|
98 |
Michael Kohl[18] has made an OPML file[19] available that allows to |
99 |
automatically subscribe to three different RSS feeds from Gentoo at once, |
100 |
i.e. the Gentoo Linux news as published on the Gentoo website, the Gentoo |
101 |
Linux Security Announcements (GLSAs), and the feed for packages for x86. |
102 |
Many RSS-readers support importing from an OPML file, making subscriptions |

Gentooified Kuro-Box |
112 |
-------------------- |
113 |
|
114 |
The Kuro-Box is a toaster-sized PowerPC NAS (Network Attached Storage) |
115 |
device designed for Linux hackers, owing at least part of its appeal to |
116 |
the clever name: much better than its English translation of simply |
117 |
"black" already does, the "kuro" of the Kuro-Box hints at both the colour |
118 |
and the occultness of what may be lurking in the dark. Based on a |
119 |
Freescale MPC8241[20] (a 603e processor), it exists in two versions: |
120 |
20. http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8241 |
121 |
|
122 |
* the original one, at 200MHz with 64MB RAM, a 100Mb ethernet controler |
123 |
and one USB plug (around 160 USD without hard-drive) |
124 |
* the HG version, at 266MHz with 128MB RAM, a 1Gb ethernet controler and |
125 |
two USB plugs (240 USD without hard-drive) |
126 |
|
127 |
Obscured by the fact that it was spawned off Buffalo Technology's |
128 |
"LinkStation" storage device series, it's probably the most inexpensive |
129 |
Linux/PPC development environment currently in the market. |

133 |
|
134 |
The history[21] of the Kuro-Box begins in Japan back in early 2004, when a |
135 |
Buffalo sister company, Kurouto Shikou, decided to sell older LinkStation |
136 |
inventory on the "power users" market. Thus, the oldest and biggest |
137 |
Kuro-Box hackers community is Japanese, and the amount of documentation on |
138 |
their Linkstation Wiki[22] or on Yasunari Yamashita's blog[23] show how |
139 |
active it is. Since a few months, Kuro-Boxes are also distributed in the |
140 |
US and Europe by Revogear[24], and a new non-Japanese community centering |
141 |
around a forum[25] and a wiki[26] now has plenty of English information |
142 |
available to them. |

150 |
In both communities, there had been several attempts at replacing the |
151 |
stock firmware with more generic Linux distributions ever since the first |
152 |
Kuro-Box shipped about a year ago. The original firmware is too much |
153 |
NAS-oriented, i.e. only designed to be a file and printing server, whereas |
154 |
a complete Linux distribution would allow for easy experimentation and |
155 |
unlocking of the platform's full potential. Even setting up Gentoo systems |
156 |
inside the Kuro-Box had been tried before: jmgdean[27] released a Gentoo |
157 |
Total Conversion alpha1[28], and much work was done inside the Japanese |
158 |
community. However, all of those earlier attempts were mixed installations |
159 |
of Gentoo Linux on top of the original firmware: the toolchains were still |
160 |
based on gcc-2.95, many files were not managed by Portage, and there was |
161 |
still some non-free code inside. My beta1 release[29], on the other hand, |
162 |
is entirely built from sources, and exclusively via Portage. It is |
163 |
composed of: |

* a stage3 image which can be installed directly on a fresh harddrive, |
170 |
and which completly replaces the original firmware |
171 |
* a Portage overlay, with a few new or modified ebuilds |
172 |
* a custom Portage profile, based on Gentoo PPC 2004.3 |
173 |
* many additional binary packages that should cover the most current |
174 |
needs for that kind of system |
175 |
|
176 |
The installation process is mostly similar to "normal" Gentoo systems, |
177 |
except that it begins in the so-called "EM mode" in which the box boots |
178 |
when it's not yet set up. This is a very minimalistic environment which |
179 |
can be accessed by both ftp and telnet. From there, you will be able to |
180 |
prepare your drive, chroot, and install the stage3 image. Then you switch |
181 |
the box to the "Normal mode", and hopefully it will reboot using your |
182 |
fresh Gentoo system, which should be accessible by ssh. Detailed |
183 |
instructions are available on a Wiki page[30]. |

Known limitation and future work |
187 |
|
188 |
The only thing that is not easily hackable is the content of the FlashROM, |
189 |
i.e. the EM mode system and the kernel. The format of the flash image is |
190 |
well-known and documented (at least on some Japanese websites), but, as |
191 |
opposed to many other Linux-based devices, there is absolutely no fallback |
192 |
in case of mistake once you've touched it -- a flashing error or a badly |
193 |
configured kernel will kill it for good. Because of that, most users are |
194 |
still stuck to the original 2.4.17 kernel, which is far from perfect. |
195 |
There are currently two directions explored to overcome this limitation: |
196 |
|
197 |
* Installing a proper bootloader in the FlashROM: U-Boot[31] would |
198 |
probably be the best choice, but this project is at too early a stage to |
199 |
give an estimate of its availability. |
200 |
* Dynamically replacing the running kernel. This has been made possible |
201 |
thanks to jochang's work[32], through the load of a simple kernel module. |
202 |
Integrating that kernel switching in the boot process is the top target |
203 |
for Gentoo beta2 (with everything it depends on, like a proper packaging |
204 |
of kuro-ified kernel sources, etc.) |

206 |
32. http://www.kurobox.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=277 |
207 |
|
208 |
Some other future work items include: |
209 |
|
210 |
* improve the distribution system: in particular, use rsync instead of |
211 |
tarballs for overlay/profile |
212 |
* by popular demand, add some meta-ebuilds for some common needs like |
213 |
"mail server" or "MacOSX-friendly server". Or release some kinds of |
214 |
customized "stage4" |
215 |
* some minor improvements all around, like better LED status, maybe more |
216 |
precompiled modules for the stock kernel, etc. |
217 |
* maybe a (semi-)automatic installation process (from a LiveCD?): for |
218 |
some users, installing Gentoo by telnet on a Kuro Box is their first Linux |
219 |
experience, and it seems to be a bit too much at a time... |

Runtime vs. devel packages |
385 |
|
386 |
Stuart Herbert[51] offers some thoughts on split ebuilds: "For years now, |
387 |
RedHat have split a lot of their packages into two sets ... a set |
388 |
containing what's needed at runtime to use the package, and another |
389 |
'devel' package containing header files etc which are only needed for |
390 |
building software. One thing that it's really nice to do with a server is |
391 |
build it with no compilers etc installed. The less that's on there, the |
392 |
less there is to maintain, upgrade, be reused by the black hats, etc etc." |
393 |

Way". Read on for a discussion of the pros and cons of both approaches. |

Security Focus (14 February 2005) |
405 |
--------------------------------- |
406 |
|
407 |
After being talked about in a Security Focus article the week before, |
408 |
Gentoo developer and operational manager for the Gentoo Linux Security |
409 |
Team Thierry Carrez[53] now had his own column last Monday: "More |
410 |
advisories, more security"[54] is the title of his piece on the |
411 |
relationship between activities in the security arms of Linux |
412 |
distributions and overall safety for users. "Security advisories from a |
413 |
software publisher or packager should not be seen as bad news. There are |
414 |
always vulnerabilities in software, and when an advisory is released it |
415 |
means that one of these flaws has been identified and fixed," explains |
416 |
Thierry. "It also means the good guys have done their homework, and that |
417 |
one less flaw can be used by the bad guys to harm you." |

Linux Times (14 and 18 February 2005) |
422 |
------------------------------------- |
423 |
|
424 |
A flamboyant installation report from Austria hit the online magazine |
425 |
Linux Times on Monday last week, under the heading "One week with Gentoo |
426 |
Linux." The article[55] describes in detail an installation of Gentoo |
427 |
Linux on slightly dated hardware, and tries to shatter the myth of Gentoo |
428 |
being not easily accessible: "If there was a list of biggest GNU/Linux |
429 |
cliches, the statement 'Gentoo is hard to install' would be ranked among |
430 |
the top. Let me tell you a little secret: Gentoo is easy to install," says |
431 |
author Imre Kálomista, a student at Vienna University. And if that wasn't |
432 |
enough, Gentoo again figures as a topic on Linux Times four days later in |
433 |
a review of the Vidalinux release 1.1 in direct comparison to a "real" |
434 |
Gentoo system. The article[56] concludes that the Puerto-Rican binary |
435 |
Gentoo clone strangely lacks binary package support, but mentions a club |
436 |
membership for access to a repository of precompiled packages. |

Using Xorg 6.8.2 & Composite[57] is the topic for Ben Rockwood's blog |
444 |
entry on the new transparency features in Xorg, with a pleasant side note |
445 |
on the ease of installation in his Gentoo environment: "Thanks to Gentoo I |
446 |
simply yanked XFree86 (unmerge) and merged in Xorg 6.8.2." |
