[Devil-linux-develop] Kernel Recompilation

[Frischknecht P. <pe...@em...>]

Hello,

I am at my wits end on this one...all I need is a little bit of help.

I am unable to make kernel source changes  and then proceed to "make =
build , install, prepare, iso".

Very Specifically:
After a minor kernel change, "make build" stops and prompts me for =
approval on certain kernel compilation parameneters.
What it is actually doing, is within the kernel subdir =
(tmp/linux-2.4.22) running "make oldconfig".

After that it is a nightmare.  kernel compilation craps out, and nothing =
short of a complete cleaning of ALL the src files and recompilation =
(about 20hours in my 1Gig Athlon) cures the problem.
I do not know what packages touch the .config for the kernel.

I know that grsecurity touches I have attempted to selective delete =
.done_build_grsecurity and .done_build_gcc but the kernel still =
complains of invalid references.

Please, could somebody tell me:
If I want to recompile JUST THE KERNEL, what steps must I take?
(.done_ files to erase, etc)

I am sure that it has been covered in previous postings, but I was =
unable to find it.

Thank you for your time.

Peter Frischknecht

it's fair :) i'll check it, but come on and commit! :)

they're going to release alsa 1.0. surely it'll be 2.4.23 enabled :)

ops, extra care should be used when patching so many things... i want to test everything just now :)

i2c and lmsensors works, I couldn't try the alsa stuff. That will be you're
problem. ;-)
There were a lot of updates for alsa lately, I'm pretty sure one of them
was for 2.4.23.

Nope. If it doesn't fail, I don't check it. ;-)

that's great :) but it's also a dangerous thing. are you sure that it 
compiles without problems? mainly, the i2c patches (lmsensor stuff) and
the alsa modules are very closely related to the kernel version.

did you check for rejection files on the resulting compilation?

i'm waiting for your commit, because of this:

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] BusyBox 1.0.0-pre4 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '1.0.0-pre4' of
'BusyBox' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can
be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/busybox/

The changes in this release are as follows:
A major rework of sed was done. A new, tiny bunzip2 implementation was
created. Support was added for 2.6.x kernel modules. Many other
sundry cleanups and bugfixes were made.  

Project description:
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most
of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc.
The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their
full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their
GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX
environment for any small or embedded system.

I successfully replaced FreeS/WAN with Super-FreeS/WAN and it compiles just
fine.
I'll check in the updates next week, when I'm back from vacation (probably
Sunday).

I have - it actually only affects ALG-sha2, all the others are OK. I just 
commented out the appropriate line in the script and deleted the 
corresponding file.

My build (non modified, straight from CVS) also compiles fine with no aborts, 
even though it fails on sha2 and also a bit later on spi.c (different 
problem). I was surprised that the whole build didn't fail, but I haven't 
checked yet why not.

See if you have /usr/lib/ipsec/whack or /usr/lib/ipsec/pluto on your resulting 
build.

I haven't worked with FreeS/WAN 2.0x yet, so I'm unsure of all the changes. 
One major difference is the use of a method called OE (Opportunistic 
Encryption), which they are promoting heavily, as a method of automagically 
encrypting all traffic between 2 Linux boxes without prearrangement. To me, 
the jury is still out on whether this will actually be adopted by any other 
vendors, but I may be wrong. I'm also unsure of the state of the ALG patches, 
NAT traversal, X509 certs, etc in the official 2 release.

On the otherhand, I have worked quite extensively with SuperFreeS/WAN, and so 
I would recommend this be the route to follow. It has all the patches 
currently in DL now as well as a few others. The DL ipsec patchset is also 
currently a patch or 2 behind. It looks like SuperFreeS/WAN is also working 
on a V2 version, but haven't quite got the official release there yet.

I think you'll have to use the regular diff command with the -N option.

BTW, you really don't have to create a patch for _new_ files as far as
us developers are concerned.  You can just send us the file.

Re: [Devil-linux-develop] Freeswan failing to compile correctly?

[<hzu...@ra...>]

I didn't see this error before, but I'm also not using FreeS/WAN. Just turn
off ALG for now. ;-)
BUT I just did a few full compiles this week and it compiled fine, no
aborts. Did you modify anything ?

We have anyway the following task outstanding: either move to
SuperFreeS/WAN ( http://www.freeswan.ca ) or to FreeS/WAN 2.0x
When I asked last time, nobody answered which one is prefered.

I mean I personally have no interest, but there could be others (you have

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] SpamAssassin 2.61 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.61' of
'SpamAssassin' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful
information can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/spamassassin/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release adds dramatically reduced memory usage of the Bayes
expiry, avoidance of false positives on Outlook 2003 messages,
messages from Mac, Palm, and localized versions of Eudora, several
AOL MUAs, and newer versions of The Bat!, a new set of French
translations, an update to reflect a new Dynablock DNSBL location, a
fix for a possible hole that was giving AWL bonuses to spammer
forgeries on some networks, and miscellaneous bugfixes.  

Project description:
SpamAssassin is a mail filter that uses a wide range of heuristic
tests on mail headers and body text to identify spam. Once
identified, the mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for later
filtering. It provides a command line tool to perform filtering, a
client-server system to filter large volumes of mail, and
Mail::SpamAssassin, a set of Perl modules that implement a
Mail::Audit plugin -- allowing SpamAssassin to be used in a
Mail::Audit filter, a spam-protection proxy POP/IMAP server, or
almost anywhere.

Any way of using it to diff for new files? I think I tried all options and all 
it told me was which files had been added, but not what had been added in the 
files (ie, the whole file).  Doing it on an already existing file and it 
works great. I'm trying to create a patchfile for a new package.

[Devil-linux-develop] Freeswan failing to compile correctly?

[Martin G. <sou...@gl...>]

Hi

I'm using the latest version from CVS and it looks like Freeswan is failing to 
compile correctly - specifically, SHA2 from the ALG patches, which has a 
cascade effect and causes pluto to fail compilation. These failures do not 
appear to be picked up during the build or install process.

I'm using freeswan with all the extra patches

Is anyone else seeing this? You can check by seeing if /usr/lib/ipsec contains 
the pluto and whack executables.

Doing a manual compilation I get the following failure...
root:/build/tmp/freeswan-1.99# make programs
make[1]: Entering directory `/build/tmp/freeswan-1.99/libdes'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `programs'.

make[1]: *** [alg/libalg.o] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/tmp/freeswan-1.99/pluto'

Being the non-programmer that I am, I'm not sure what is causing this error - 
looks like the strip option, but I'm unsure where this is coming from...

Any help / ideas appreciated.

Thanks

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] ALSA driver 1.0.0rc2 released (Development branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '1.0.0rc2' of
'ALSA driver' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information
can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/alsadriver/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release introduces fixes for the intel8x0 driver and the OSS PCM
emulation. It also adds a bt87x driver.  

Project description:
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is composed of several parts.
The first is a fully modularized sound driver which supports module
autoloading, devfs, isapnp autoconfiguration, and gives complete
access to analog audio, digital audio, control, mixer, synthesizer,
DSP, MIDI, and timer components of audio hardware. It also includes a
fully-featured kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for
OSS/Free applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and
enhances the ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications
(client/server, plugins, PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering,
etc.), an interactive configuration program for the driver, and some
simple utilities for basic management.

You should check it out, it's a VERY useful command.

You can just "cvs diff file" and it will 'diff' the file on your hard
disk against the latest CVS version of the file to see what you've
changed.  

You can also diff your local file against a different CVS version with
the "-r" parameter.  "cvs diff -r 1.21 file" 

You can even diff two different CVS versions by specifying "-r" twice.  
"cvs diff -r 1.12 -r 1.13 file"

Comes in very handy!  I use it a lot!
