Re: [RFC] Adding a 686-bigmem netboot image for PAE/Xen (was: Structural changes needed for switch to 2.6.25 kernels)

  Now seems like a good time to remind you that I would like to add

 I don't see any real objection to adding only a netboot image, except
 maybe that it may proof too hard to find for users. So at the very least
 a very good wiki page should be written that includes a link.

Yes, my plan was to update the wiki page on installing Xen once daily
builds started appearing. Perhaps a paragraph in the release notes might
be appropriate as well?

 If anybody else has fundamental objections, I guess this would be a good
 time to voice them!
 
 
 The fairly trivial patch below is required to add 686-bigmem udebs.
 Not sure why generic_serial is missing in 686-bigmem. Could be a minor
 config error in linux-2.6.

It's because CONFIG_SX and CONFIG_RIO are not set in the 686-bigmem
config to pull it in. I don't know why that is but I'll take a look. I
don't think these drivers are particularly critical at install time...

 It would be nice if you could build those, dump them in localudebs, and
 see if you can figure out what changes are needed in the config dir to
 add only netboot images for that kernel (if you've never really looked
 at that it can be a nice challenge; AFAICT changes should only be needed
 below the installer/build/config dir).
 Feel free to ask for help if needed.

Thanks, I've actually had the config dir changes ready for a while, was
just waiting for the beta before submitting them.

I've attached the patches which I've been using, updated and freshly
tested this morning (make all_build to check nothing else broke and then
booted the bigmem one).

kernel-wedge.patch: generic_serial is optional and add Xen block and net
devices. The block device isn't strictly a SCSI device but it seemed
like the best place for it since it isn't worthy of its own udeb, any of
sata, pata, ata, ide would be as good...

kernel.patch: the entirely trivial linux-kernel-di-i686 patch you have
below.

base-installer.patch: the selection of a 686-bigmem kernel for install
if the installer itself is running 686-bigmem. Has been discussed on
list already.

hw-detect.patch: a probably useless patch to hw-detect but seems right
for completeness.

installer.patch: adds the netboot-bigmem flavour to the build. watch out
since this also includes the 2.6.24-2.6.25 jump.

I still have one or two outstanding patches relating to Xen
specifically (mainly hvc0 handling) which I will post separately when
I'm happy with them.

Cheers,
Ian.

Re: suboptimal cat usage

2008-05-29 Thread Frans Pop
On Wednesday 28 May 2008, Philip Hands wrote:
  I've had a quick look, but after only a few items I have some doubts...

Let me explain why I had doubts.

We are currently at the point where we should be stabilizing D-I for Lenny. 
We're supposed to be removing the last pesky and dumb code errors, not 
introducing new ones.
The huge risk here is that some stupid little error is going to slip through 
in a little used codepath that does not get tested anymore before the 
release, but happens to break any install on type Y systems for arch X.

Also, we have seen in the past that busybox can sometimes either not support 
some options or behave slightly differently, especially for more obscure 
(less used / advanced) options.

So basically I agree with the concept, but have problems with the timing.


However, that does not mean you cannot work on this. Especially as you use 
local a git-svn checkout, relatively small changes like this should keep 
quite well, even if not committed in the central repository.

So let me suggest the following:
- Commit your changes in git locally.
- Use separate commits per patch or set of related patches (like the
  partman 'cut -c-N' ones).
- Add meaningful commit messages, especially when a change is not trivial
  (as in the case of 'uniq -u'); don't bother with changelogs yet.
- When you have a bunch of changes, sort them into separate branches for
  'trivial, impossible that it breaks anything', 'probably OK, but not
  100% sure', 'needs review/testing', 'changes or could change behavior'.
  The sorting can be done using 'git cherry-pick'.
- The first category you could IMO just commit. We can review them based
  on the commit messages.
- Anything other than the first category should IMO wait until after the
  Lenny release. We could possibly do the second with reviews, but I'd
  rather spend the energy on testing and functional changes we want in
  Lenny.
- After Lenny it should be fairly trivial to rebase the changes against
  then current SVN. I'd expect very little fallout or conflicts (best
  avoid making loads of changes in a single larger block of code though).
  Accidental breakage is then a lesser concern.


 That should be this instead:
   wc -l  massbuild.versions

 cat file | foo can always be done more efficiently as foo  file
 but I generally leave out the redirection if I can get away with it
 (which of course in this case, I could not :-/ )

Agreed, though it always feels a bit like reading right to left or top 
posting to me.

 well, we could go for the redirection approach instead, but I'd be very
 surprised if you found any more such errors, as I'm pretty sure that the
 other examples were well tested (except that I'll admit to having tested
 them under busybox on a full Debian system, rather than in a d-i system
 -- I'll test them all again under d-i proper if you think that there's a
 danger that busybox varies in its behaviour (which I _seriously_ hope it
 doesn't)

See above. Please do check anything that is not already commonly used in D-I 
with busybox. I checked the 'cut -c-N' and 'uniq -u' and those seem OK.

   - for dir in $( (cat /tmp/mount.pre /tmp/mount.pre; mountpoints ) | \
   -  sort -r | uniq -c | grep ^[[:space:]]*1[[:space:]] | \
   -  sed s/^[[:space:]]*[0-9][[:space:]]//); do
   + for dir in $(mountpoints | sort -r /tmp/mount.pre /tmp/mount.pre -
   | uniq -u); do
 
  1) I find the combination of using a pipe _and_ named files for sort
 unintuitive and less readable

 Yeah, I'll give you that -- I was wondering if that was such a good idea.

  2) Where did the grep and sed statements disappear to?

 they're a somewhat log-winded reimplementation of uniq -u

OK. That could have been explained in a (git) commit message included in the 
patch. It was non-obvious to me (at least not within the time I want to 
spend on review). Having the comment would have avoided the question.

 For improved readability, how about:
   for dir in $( (cat /tmp/mount.pre /tmp/mount.pre; mountpoints) | \
 sort -r | uniq -u); do

Yes, better. Maybe add a space before the last closing parenthesis too.


Re some of the other changes in your original patch:
- yaboot-installer: category 1
- floppy-retriever/debian/load-floppy.postinst
  In current script spaces get dropped by not quoting in the echo statements
  a bit lower down, so should be OK. Category 2.
- localechooser
  - redundant use of cat: no problem
  - 'wc -l': broken
- partman: fine with me, needs good commit and changelog messages
  These statements should IMO already have had a comment. Can you add one?
  Maybe: # Truncate label to N characters


If you need any help with git for this, feel free to ask.

Re: d-i status wrt i386 amd64 EFI machines

2008-05-29 Thread Frans Pop
On Wednesday 28 May 2008, Julien BLACHE wrote:
  There already is code to recognize Intel Macs as a separate subarch
  which allows to use separate partitioning recipes that could include a
  EFI system partition, but currently that means the existing one would
  probably be lost.

 Which is not a good idea :) So if Mac  1st partition is FAT32 -
 mark the partition as being the EFI partition (can be generalized to
 all the EFI machines I think).

The real problem here is that partman-auto will always start from scratch 
when partitioning a drive (except when largest free space is used, but 
that only works if the free space is already there [1]).
The only way to keep an existing partition is by using a custom recipe and 
setting its size to _exactly_ the current size and doing the same for all 
partitions that come before it. Any deviation will mean that start of 
partition and actual start of file system will no longer be the same.

This is further complicated by the size calculations and rounding done by 
partman and libparted. Throw LVM and crypto overheads in the mix and you 
have a recipe for disaster...

There is no provision to say partition the drive, but leave the first one 
alone. Especially for the first partition (if it is #1 and at the 
beginning of the disk) that should be possible to implement though by 
coding what I described in [1] (the recipe used should then of course not 
include an EFI partition).

I'm now going to move this thread to /dev/null and just let you get on with 
things :-)

Good luck,
FJP

[1] A trick I sometimes use is to use manual partitioning to delete unwanted
partitions and then start guided partitioning from partman's main menu to 
partition the freed up space.

 No, this has nothing to do with dead keys or characters composed by

 See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Qwertz_de.svg

 In VT2 all keys work correctly.

OK. I have just confirmed the regression.
As VT2 is correct, it is unlikely that this is an issue in the keymap, 
although that should be checked for changes.

Most likely the regression is in either cairo or directfb, but reassigning 
to cdebconf until we can trace it more exactly.

It would be good if someone could confirm whether the same problem also 
affects other languages that have similar keys.
I checked the Dutch keyboard and that is also affected: the ± and ˚ keys 
(first gives +, second is dead).

 And: I just tried with a 4.0r1 installation DVD: no problems, all
 keys work correctly.

I have just checked and Lenny Beta1 was still good.

Also being able to automatically protect a partition could be also

been like forever since I last ran d-i on an SGI.

Anyway, one thing at a time; there are several levels of support we
can provide, let's get something basic working first and build from
there.

Yes.  What happens if you try:

ls (hd0,1)/
cat (hd0,1)/grub.cfg

Please include the output of each of these commands (a picture is ok as

Uploads of daily D-I builds (was: on .ssh/authorized_keys files)

2008-05-29 Thread Frans Pop
So basically this is what needs to be done to get uploads for daily D-I 
builds working again for remaining architectures.
Does anybody who has a build running want to coordinate that? Maybe setup a 
(more) common system for it?

Subject: on .ssh/authorized_keys files
Date: Thursday 29 May 2008
From: Peter Palfrader [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The use of ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys files has been disabled since
DSA1571 was announced.  While our initial plan was to allow them
again eventually some bad experience with DDs' key handling has
led us to reconsider that intent.

So ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys will remain disabled.

If you want to login to debian.org hosts using keys you should send them
to the LDAP as outlined at URL:https://db.debian.org/doc-mail.html,
which allows us to do at least some quality control.

Should you need keys only on specific hosts for automated tasks like
updating stuff or syncing files between project machines or similar
we can enable a user editable authorized_keys file for specific users
on specific hosts.  Usually we would expect those keys to be limited
to use only from certain hosts (using from=xyz) and limited to
allow execution of only certain commands (using command=foobar).
Contact DSA if you have such a case.

[RFC] Some love for partman-md

2008-05-29 Thread Jérémy Bobbio
Hi!

After loosing 2 hours yesterday fighting against the RAIDvsCrypto
issue [1], I decided that I should not let this happen to anyone else.

Attached you will find an attempt to do so.  The changeset is only broke
down in two patches:
 * The first is a bit invasive (partman-md, partman-base, mdcfg) and
   improve globally the way MD devices are initialized and from my tests
   fix 10 bugs at ounce (counting merged ones).
 * The second is in partman-partitioning and prevent deletion and
   resizing for MD, LVM and crypto devices as they do not work correctly
   for any of these devices.

I have done quite some testing inside partman and I think they should be
right.  Unfortunately, my offline mirror was broken and I was not able
to do any full installations.  As I'll be very happy to have such fixes
in Lenny, I would very much welcome reviews and tests.

commit e5f830e53c38b4d214326c8a33db556ac3ede504
Author: Jérémy Bobbio [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date:   Thu May 29 16:12:16 2008 +

Clean up the initialization of MD devices

The initialization of MD devices in partman previously diverged from what
others partman components are doing, resulting in quite few bugs and
really bad interactions with crypto setup.

 * Scanning for existing MD devices

   The loading of kernel modules and the initial scan for MD devices has
   been factor out in the md-init script, shipped in both mdcfg and
   mdcfg-utils packages.

   This script is called by both the init.d/md-devices in partman-md and
   by mdcfg itself.  init.d/md-devices is now called before init.d/parted
   to have existing RAID partitions listed on the first partitioner run.

   Existing MD devices will now be activated at the begining of the
   partionner.  (Closes: #391474)

 * Keep configurations of RAID partitions accross partman restarts

   MD devices were previously skipped in init.d/parted, resulting in the
   loss of the previous configuration.  We now only skip deactivated RAID
   devices, in a similar way than sataraid and multipath devices are
   skipped.

   Most of the job of init.d/md and init.d/md-devices have been cleaned up
   and merged into init.d/md to cope with the previous change. The
   initialization scheme is now closer to what is done for LVM.

   (Closes: #391479, #391483, #393728, #398668)

Package: debian-installer


Hello,

not an installation report, because they are working fine.

But I need some pointers into the right direction, how to install debian
on a software raid1 using a preseed file.

We are installing Debian for our customer fully unattended. That works
just great, I already sent you guys the installation report template a
few months ago.

So far I was unable to partition more than one harddrive in a preseed
file.=20

I apologize if this is the wrong email address. If so, please direct it
to someone who can help me out on this.

The actual question would be, is there an existing hook for my problem?
If so, is there some documentation how to use it? Because I couldn't
find anything.

We could also write a hook ourselfs, but we need some documentation here
too.

Thank you in advance
Sascha

Hi!

Preseeding software RAID setup is possible since the introduction of
the partman-auto-raid package and is available in the current stable
release.

It is documented in the appendix B of the installation manual.

Package: installation-reports
Severity: minor

While testing RAID creation I realized that if you create the RAID
volume before finishing the partition table, then the partition table
is broken, because the kernel cannot acknowledge the new partition.

Actually, I realized that this was somewhat explained in the pre-RAID
screen, but not strongly enough.  I didn't get the message until I had
already broken the partition table.

So, what I'm suggesting is to make the message a bit stronger like:

DO NOT CREATE ANY RAID VOLUMES UNTIL YOU'VE **FINISHED** WORKING ON THE
PARTITION TABLE.

:).  I know you don't like to change template for translation reasons,
but please keep this in mind.  The present message is not strong enough.

Hi!

 Of course, in the latest versions of Partman you are required to
 commit all changes before you can go on to raid or lvm setup so this
 point may be moot. If so, please check that all paths are covered and
 close this bug?

I think the current behaviour of partman is fine, and as we had no
further comments on this bug for a while, I am closing it.

moving tasksel to git

2008-05-29 Thread Joey Hess
I'd really like to move tasksel to git. It frequently needs to be
branched around release time; maintaining those branches will be much
less painful with git. Doing it with svn seems sufficiently painful now
that I'm taking ugly shortcuts. Now that Frans has implemented awesome
autobyhand processing of the overrides, there is no need for a canonical
svn repo that override info can be pulled from. Finally, derivatives and
CDDs have many good reasons to want to maintain their own tasksel branches.

If moving it to git will cause any significant trouble for translators and
task maintainers, please let me know.

Package: tasksel
Version: 2.74

During an installation today I noticed the following errors in the syslog:
in-target: my variable @deps masks earlier declaration in same scope 
at /usr/bin/tasksel line 535.
in-target: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/bin/tasksel line 529.
in-target: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/bin/tasksel line 529.

[... loads of repeats ...]
in-target: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/bin/tasksel line 529.
in-target: Reading package lists...

Note there are two errors: the first in 535 and a lot of repeats for 529.
The errors happen at the beginning of tasksel, in the syslog they are
shown right after popcon has been purged. The first probably happens
before the task dialog, the rest may happen after (6 seconds between
first and second).

As I already had perl installed at that point, this looks unrelated to the
perl-base issue.
IMO it would be nice to have this fixed in time for Beta2.

Package: tasksel
Version 2.74

Using tasksel on already installed system (Debian testing AMD64,
installed 24.5.2008. using daily built buissines card iso, installed
desktop system, installation went OK) gives following error:

my variable @deps masks earlier declaration in same scope at
/usr/bin/tasksel line 535.

then tasksel apparently starts, but leaving it or selecting manual
package selection, tasksel exits with:

Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/bin/tasksel line 529.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/bin/tasksel line 529.

... and so on 114 times.

To make it clear there were no problems during installation. Both
tasksel and tasksel-data were upgraded on 26.5.2008. from 2.73 to
2.74, so this version was not used during installation.


Best regards,
Predrag Gavrilovic
