IRC chat. Sounds good. Should I register a mentalunix channel on openprojects with the Chanserv? I'm already busy opping on #indrema(we had a dev chat with the CEO last night). Well, for the package manager, using apt/dpkg is the best thing to do. Apt eliminates all of the pesky problems that rpms have(dependencies), but grabbing everything a package needs to be installed. Building from source is also much easier(apt-get -b source program). My idea with yozilla is to get skipstone, and use it as the browser component. Improve stuff like its prefs dialog(add mime type support), and allow it to auto install plugins and such. All the while, adding support for things like mail clients and page compositing. Just use some off the shelf stuff, and integrate it nicely. BTW, there are no folders in your briefcase! --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

For the kernel version, I'd recommend whatever the most recent stable version is when we compile. For XFree86, 4.0 is nice for those that can run it--if we can spare the space, it might not be a bad idea to include that and the last 3.x version so that those who are running older video cards for which support has been dropped can still run X. As to filesystem, I believe there should be a choice--I'm personally going to try ReiserFS if/when I get S.u.S.E. However, some might still want ext2 or ext3. Oh, after experiencing the pain of patching the kernel for PCSP support (I wouldn't generally recommend this patch, actually, but the TBS Montego is, to the best of my knowledge, not supported in Linux), I think it might be a good idea to patch the kernel for DVD ioctl support if we choose a kernel that doesn't have the support built in. Of course, there are so many kernel options that I'm in favor of using Slackware-type tactics--let the user choose one to install based on hardware support needs. ~CoolProgrammer --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

same here, so no prob. Yesterday was the last day of the fall quarter, so i have about 3 weeks to work on all this. My ideas were similar, but i dont like the idea of using GTK+ for much of anything. The reason for that is that GTK is Gnome TK and requires the gnome libs. There isnt necessarily anything wrong with that, but it would be better to be able to create system wide stuff. So, my plan is learning and using python. I've used a few apps created in python, and their great. It may be a little more work, but I'm all for it. I agree with X stuff, and kernel. I'm running 2.4 test 10 and its great, except my network card still aint working under linux. Filesystem stuff, sounds good, I have heard much about ext3 lately, thats why I listed it. And Reiserfs is likely to replace ext2 soon (or so I've heard) and as for tux2fs, havent heard of it, so Im not sure there. I just started working on the docs and stuff, so I'll consider your ideas, and try to find some common ground. Since I'm out of school for a while now, I think its time we actually set up a irc chat or something. But, we'll set that up later. I really want to try debian again, I know its great, but im stuck with my current favorite SuSE!! Initially, during the development of mpkg, we should use either rpm or deb for the overall installation of stuff. i havent had much experience with dpkg cause i havent used debian much, but, I think we need to start fresh, and create a entirely new system. I'm not going to take the time to explain it, here, I'll type up my thoughts and post my thoughts of how it should work. As for install stuff, I'm thinking we need at least some simply text install by 0.0.x. that way it can be tested. All the install has to do is beable to run fdisk, and install the kernel and some basic apps like dpkg (or rpm), gcc, bash, and other basic apps. the 0.0.x series wont be much, just a base with a lot of unstable software. by 0.5 yozilla should be partly done, and I'll post my ideas on that later as well, and I'll write up a general work plan and idea paper that we can work off of to get a roadmap in place. Yozilla will be semi functional by the 1.0 release (think lynx functionality) and by 2.0 by a fully fledged web browser. Mozilla isnt exactly fast under linux, so I plan on taking the gecko engine, and rewrite it (both statically linked and dynamically) to speed it up. New name will be decided later. Also, I strongly suggest you read the docs I post later, because the will explain, in much detail what I think, and how I want to develop this stuff. We are not going to base the distro off of another to create a reliable interface and system. It will make everything easier in the long run. deb and apt aren't bad ideas, and neither is using debian specific apps, but their are problems with that, and those will be explained in my docs. So expect to need a lot of time reading by friday or saturday night! --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

I've been really bogged down with school work, so I haven't been able to do much work(that and my hidden addiction...IRC). I, unfortuanetely, have become addicted to debian. I say, let us use dpkg and apt, as well as some of the other debian programs. I'm not saying base the distro on Debian, but just use the nice apps that make the user experience good. Then, package everything from the ground up. I envision mpkg as the universal packager. It could use the debian database as its internal format, but use librpm, the slackware stuff, and the stampede stuff to modify their databases. And, keep the package databases for the different formats synchronized. And, eventually, have a daemon that monitors the /usr partition for changes, and checks a file databse to see if they belong in a package. For the file system, the user should have the option of using ext2 or reiserFS. Ext3fs is a waste of time, since it is so slow. When Tux2fs is released, it should also be included(since it is so nice). Using the 2.4.0testX kernels would be a good idea, since they will be final come january. Including support for every known peice of hardware, by including everything as modules, should be a goal. X: well, Xfree86 4.0.1 is good, but include XFree86 3.2.6 as well, since not all cards are supported by xf4(like my S3 trio64). The xlibs should all be 4.0.1, because the 3.3.6 servers can use them. Installation program: Using the Mandrake / Debian Potato installers as references is good. Grab the source for them, and admire the beauty. The MentalUNIX installer has to be graphical, and text based. My solution is to use ncurses, and port the library to X(requiring a simple relink of a program for it to work in graphics mode), or to use QT(since framebuffers QT is pretty nice). Everything is best done in C++(I have seen the dark, evil light), since objects are nice to have when doing GUI work(and since I am becoming good at coding in it). Using a modular install should be a goal as well, just write a seperate program for each step, and integrate it into one fully functioning app that calls them(or just uses their function compiled as a library). Also, try reading the source to the caldera and redhat installers...it can never hurt. The goals for 0.0.1 / the 0.0.x series should be to get the base system running. I'm talking, the package managers, core programs(update-menus, etc), and the shells all running. Just as a huge, bootable image / a downloadable tarball. By 0.5, the text mode installer should be ready. 1.0 should feature an up to date, functioning system. By 2.0, Yozilla and mpkg should be finished, but I don't know about vk(imagine it as a kernel module...). Oh, and yozilla. Yozilla should be built on Gtk+, and integrate mozilla using GtkMozEmbed(). Basing it on skipstone is not a bad idea, and then adding all of the communicator features to it. Of course, rewriting the MPL portions of gecko to be GPL is neccesary. And, why not improve the engine too? Full CSS2 would be nice... --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

I have started going over what needs to be done, and how I think we should develop the apps and distribution. Over the next few days I will post a bunch of information on mentalunix, mpkg, yozilla, virtua-kernels (new name for virtual kernels thingy). I have a lot of stuff on mpkg and what options it should have and how they should be used. later today, after i get about a weeks worth of sleep! i will begin typing everything up, and i'll post everything somewhere. Before I leave and get some sleep. I need some quick answers on kernel we should use and stuff like that. Post your ideas for Kernel, xfree86 version, filesystem (ext2, ext3, or reiserfs), and general ideas on how the installation program should go so i can get to work while the rest of you have to sit in school and do homework!! Well, post asap. And I plan on getting a cd-r soon, so im guessing we can get a 0.0.1 release within the next 3 months.

I have been using Debian(2.2) for the past month, and it is an amazing distro. But, the install is horrible(everything up to getting thrown into dselect at 2am is fine). apt/dpkg is IMHO the best package manager currently. So, I have a proposal: Write a new installer like planned, and base the distro completely from the ground up(pacakge wise), and use it. Basically, write an installer based on apt/dpkg, and then create a system of packages(but letting users use the Debian/helixcode/Corel/LibraNet archives if they want too). Later, we can write mpkg, and have it support installation of debs, rpms, tgzs(slackware), and sli(stampede) packages; as well as the importation of their package databases. Basically, make mpkg a unifying package manager, with its own format on the side. Using the debian utilities(update-menus, update-alternatives, etc) can really cut down on the development time too. So, in essence, use the great parts of debian, and then write a new installer, and create the rest of the distro from scratch. This brings me to another point: I suck badly at programming This is a true fact. So, I have a way to fix this: I don't code I can "manage" the project, and write specs while I improve my coding skills to help get the distro off the ground.

Actually, I believe there's a better way (under Linux):
#include <stdio.h>void main() { FILE *random; int i; random = fopen("/dev/random", "rb"); if(!random) return; fread(&i, sizeof(int), 1, random); printf("%d", i); fclose(random); return;}
This assumes that the /dev/random device is enabled, but, since the kernel obtains this data from the environment, it is truly random. These numbers are better for encryption--rand() is not so good for that.

I agree. It's time to get going on this. C, C++, Objective-C, whatever... I
can do 'em all. Let's just get going. :)
As far as random numbers in C, here's a quick sample of how you use the system
clock to generate a random seed:
/* Generate a random number and print it to the screen */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int number;
void main(void)
{
/* Use the time to seed the random number generator */
srand((unsigned) time(NULL));
/* Assign a random number using that seed to the 'number' variable */
number = rand();
/* Print the random number */
printf("\nThe random number generated is %d.", number);
}
Pretty simple really. The time function is really the best way to generate a
truly random number.
So anyway, just let me know what you guys want me to start working on and I'll
begin coding.

Seeing how fast we are developing stuff. I have a few ideas. First, i just finished reading The Code Book, and recently, I have developed a deep interest in encryption and security. And since we are trying to create a easy to use system for schools and whatnot, it seems logical, to me at least, to include some sort of security for the system. Idealy, maybe not for this project, but creating a kernel level encryption service to secure everything that is written to the harddrive. basically remember Randy's laptop and ordo-emacs (or whatever it was) from Cryptonomicon. THat basic kinda idea.

I love my cable modem, I need it now that I am testing my java classes. Well since I moved to NY my school has already chained me in some back room to work on their web page lol. 5 hours of Computer Sci homework? Wow, wish I got homework like that, unfortunatly I am stuck with Calculus, History, Spanish, and AP physics. no time to take computer sci classes. But I do get to make a C++ programm for Physics. Havnt decided what to do for it though. |

LOL--I understand the school system problem...
LOL--we have no heat at the moment--it's about 63 degrees in the house at the moment.
We finally got a cable modem, so we no longer use the phone line to use the Internet, but our ISP has been having major problems that they just solved today.
Five hours of computer science homework??? Dang!
LOL--a good way to use a random number:
int *haha;
haha = rand();
printf("%i", &haha);
Well, it would work if you're trying to crash the computer...

I am working on specs, but since I get 5 horus of computer sciecne homework a night(in addition to 3 hours on non-cs)...well, I have no free time. And it doesn't help that I have bene "volunteered" to do other things(paint a few buildings to help people..against my own will). I have been working in gnumeric to make a project schedule, and I have been writing specs and such, but not much has gotten done(since I lack more than 5 mintues a day of free time...this is the first time I have touched a box for non school purposes in 2 weeks). And, to make matters worse, my second phone lin e has died(well, the connector in this room at least), so I can't get on for more than 20 minutes at a time(I have call waitng on, but the connection seems impervious to it..it just keeps working, maybe it is time to set the rings to more than 3). I'll try to grab the specs I have done and upload them today(after I get all of my work done, seeing as today is the first day this weekend(3 days yay) to do anything but wake up at 6am to paint buildings, yank vines down, and pull up carpeting(and wash cars in 44 degree weather)). I'm busy trying ot learn to code right(this ap course in computer science is helping...except the boxes have been broken, and we have been learning all of this badstuff(the wrong way to use random numbers, data types that don't exist) that is book dependent, so I've been unlearning most of it(its wondeful how the american school system works), and I'm trying to get money to buy a book or two on C/Obj-C and using Gtk+. --------------------------------------------- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! --------------------------------------------- You have chosen to receive messages from "mentalunix" by email.

I agree--we need to get the project started. Do we have the specs done?

objective-C is elegant. It is C + objcts, and is therfore good. C++ is bad since it changes so many things. Therfore, if I had ot chooseb eween the three major language with C in their name, objective-C would be my choice. --------------------- ASCII ART ^It's HAL 7000 ^^the murder bot ^^^less homicidal tendencies than the HAL 9000 ^^^^but just as fun |
