grub-installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy template

2009-07-30 Thread Felix Zielcke
Now that squeeze probable will freeze in December, I somehow have the
feeling it won't use grub2 by default.
So I suggest to change the grub2 instead of grub-legacy template.
It shouldn't say anymore that grub2 is experimental.
Ubuntu karmic is now using it by default and there aren't any critical
bug reports (neither on LP or debbugs).

Unfortunately I'm not at all good at these things and my english isn't
that great either.
I think it should mention that grub2 has support for UUIDs,ext4,lvm and
RAID and that it lacks currently password support and savedefault.
Or maybe the last part should be left out, so the translations won't
need to be updated if we implement it.

There are still important features that grub supports, but grub2 does not.
IMO those should be resolved *before* this is done.

Ah I forgot about the meta-bug.
But anyway, any reason against changing the template text?
I'd really like that more people test/use it.
Popcon still only lists ~2800 users.

Yes. As long as grub2 does not for example pass on boot options (such at 
noapic), its integration in D-I is essentially broken and thus the 
experimental warning 100% valid and necessary.

A desire for more testing is not a justification to ignore known issues or 
to put users in situations from which they may have trouble recovering.

If you want that warning removed, I suggest you (or others) provide 
patches to fix the known issues.

Unfortunately I'm not a sed expert but that should be easy to fix.

if [ $kopt_params ]; then
sed -i s!^\(# kopt=.*\)!\1 $kopt_params! $ROOT/boot/grub/$menu_file

That needs to be only modified to change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= in $ROOT/etc/default/grub

 to put users in situations from which they may have trouble recovering.
 
 If you want that warning removed, I suggest you (or others) provide 
 patches to fix the known issues.

What other known issues?
I said that we could add a sentence that grub2 lacks savedefault and
password.
I don't mind if multipath and dmraid gets added their too.
So people know it then.
Are you talking also about 502446? Any reason against not to apply that
patch?
And looking over the bug list of grub2 about the stuff which doestn't
just waits for a confirmation of the repoter there aren't any problems
why grub-installer should tell that grub2 is experimental.

Switching to grub2 by default would instantly solve a few reports
against grub-installer.

But if you want we could say something like grub2 has still known
problems and isn't that well tested then grub-legegacy. 
or similiar.
The initial template is from August 2006.
At that time I even didn't know grub2 exists, but I can image that it
was really experimental at that time. We fixed a bunch of bugs since I
joined.

Probable you didn't recently (!) tried out grub2, did you?

 That's not true.
 
 There are several reasons why loop-AES has not been merged 
 upstream, and has very little chance of getting upstream in the
 current form at all.
 
 But hostility of the loop-AES upstream author towards linux-2.6
 upstream is definately not the case. I'd like to ask you to take 
 more care before making such statements.

boah just search lmkl for one minute and you find plenty of examples.
 
 Anyways, on a constructive point, looking forward:
 
 I'm about to submit a patchset that adds support for the loop-AES 
 crypto modes to the upstream kernel, so that it can be used with 
 plain dm-crypt and cryptsetup.
 
 I hope this will reduce the need for using the OOT module in the
 medium term, and will allow us in d-i to drop the reliance on the
 OOT module builds for fully featured crypto support.
 
   Max

that is a sound idea and something that it's author should have
prioritised from day 1.
work with in tree kernel crypto implementation is the road forward.
the author got told this years ago:

It does not. That is something your MUA is responsible for: it should

(although different lists/communities do have different policies).
Kmail automatically replies correctly only to the list.

 That issue needs to be resolved.

Where?
In 533287 message #53 he says:
Let's discount the question of /etc/default/grub; it's not at issue
here, and the solution you're using now for it is not questionable
AFAICS.

On the debian-policy mailing list there isn't either a reply to this.
We use now ucf for it, so the problem is solved now AFAICS.

  What other known issues?
 
 See the meta BR...

Uhm maybe we are talking about different things?
I don't want to argue if we should make grub2 now the default or not.
I only want to change the template that it doestn't say anymore
experimental software.
I don't know Ubuntu that much, but do they actually use high
experimental software as default in their main repository and not
universe/multiverse?
Serious question.

The meta BR says:

Fix blocked by 470894: grub-installer: user parameters are not added to
grub.cfg for grub2, 477090: grub-installer: no support for dmraid and
multipath for grub2, 477092: grub-installer: does not support setting
password for grub2, 483971: support for device-mapper multipath

470894 can be solved and all others can be mentioned in the template as
I already said.

 One other is no support for bootloader password, but I guess that is 
 something that could be accepted as it is only an expert option.

As I said now twice, we can mention that in the template.
Why doesn't it do this already if that's so important to people?
They should know that then if we offer them the choice about grub-legacy
or grub2.

 But all basic functionality should be there, and respecting boot 
 parameters (also quiet and vga=) is very much basic functionality.

Ok vga= is for some people a problem with the new linux loader.
But upstream's solution for this is a gfxpayload variable which is in
the form hightxwidth,depth, like 1024x768x32

  The initial template is from August 2006.
  At that time I even didn't know grub2 exists, but I can image that it
  was really experimental at that time. We fixed a bunch of bugs since I
  joined.
 
 The question is not if grub2 itself is still experimental, but that its 
 integration in D-I is incomplete, which makes its use *in D-I* 
 experimental. Users should be able to expect no regressions relative to 
 grub when the switch is made.

Then the templete should say that the integration into D-I is
experimental (or not complete) not that grub2 itself is experimental
software.

  Probable you didn't recently (!) tried out grub2, did you?
 
 No. Why should I have? I _know_ that grub2 has been improving, but I also 
 know that nothing has been done to complete its integration in D-I.

If you don't have any problems with grub-legacy or need/want
savedefault/fallback support you don't need to.
But it case it breaks it can be sometimes easier to fix, because it has
for example an `ls' command.
You can use grub-emu to get a small impression of the commandline, it's
included in grub-common which grub-legacy depends on since lenny.

Well on the upstream grub-devel list, the Reply-To is correctly set to
the list. So this is something configurable with the list software.
But okay on -project and -devel it's the same so seems like on Debian
this isn't wanted by default for dumb MUAs like Evolution.
I file a wishlist report about it.

kFreeBSD progress report week 10

2009-07-30 Thread Luca Favatella
In the past two weeks I got network configuration and udeb download
working in the GNU/kFreeBSD debian-installer (d-i) port.
I also started working on disk partitioning.


Network configuration is working, even if with some short term
solutions, i.e. using
* ifconfig and route from freebsd-net-tools-udeb instead of ip
from BusyBox
 + the patch to create the freebsd-net-tools-udeb is at [0.0]
* ISC DHCP client instead of BusyBox udhcpc
 + substituting dhclient-script.udeb with that from [0.1] is needed
Thanks to my mentor (Aurelien Jarno) and to Julián Moreno Patiño.

My mentor also solved issues on
* BusyBox syslogd
 + understanding why it was not working on GNU/kFreeBSD [1.0]
* netcfg
 + filtering loopback interfaces [1.1]
 + fixing the multiple detection of network interfaces [1.2]
* adding netboot d-i configuration files [1.3]

About disk partitioning, I started porting GNU Parted.
I initially had some problems with its build environment.
I refreshed the previous kfreebsd-gnu patch in the Debian package
[2.0], splitting and updating it [2.1].
I started to merge this work upstream [2.2] [2.3].
Following instructions at [2.4], parted builds.
It segfaults when executed; if you want to test/debug it, you find the
debs at [2.5] [2.6] [2.7] [2.8]

I also worked on
* doc
 + HOWTO build BusyBox package on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD [3.0]
 + HOWTO build debian-installer monolithic mini.iso on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD [3.1]
* merging some patches to d-i trunk
 + committing already proposed patches
  - generalize rootskel splitting Linux specific stuff [3.2]
 + proposing and committing new patches
  - rootskel: add GNU/kFreeBSD inittab [3.3]
  - rootskel: add GNU/kFreeBSD fstab and init [3.4]
  - rootskel: add GNU/kFreeBSD detect-console [3.5]
  - netcfg: generalize loopback network interface name [3.6]

I have not been able to build iso images due to a misconfiguration on
ftp.debian.org; I will provide them when the problem is fixed.


In the next two weeks I should get disk partitioning working.

If possible, I should also work on
* BusyBox
 + understanding if [4.0] fixes some known problems or is unuseful
(this task is inherited from the previous progress report [4.1])
* makefs Debian package [4.2] (thanks to Thorsten Glaser)
 + testing it
 + trying to use it to create ufs2 initrd as normal user in [4.3]

 I'm currently uploading my variant in two versions: one of 4:33 minutes

 It's not as spectacular as Joey's version, but shows much more detail.
 For some reason they display a lot brighter on the LVD screen of my laptop 
 than on the external CRT monitor.
 
 I'll leave them up for a month or so.


I intend to ask a Lightning talk slot for today's Lightning talks and
show the video.

Any objection?

PS: untested as of now. I'm downloading the video, which will take
time and I have a short time to test if everything is working.

You want the amd64 images.
IA64 is for Intel Itanium which isn't at all compatible with x86_64 (how
amd64 is also named) or EM64T (how Intel calls it)

Re: grub-installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy template

2009-07-30 Thread Felix Zielcke
Am Donnerstag, den 30.07.2009, 10:17 +0200 schrieb Felix Zielcke:
 Now that squeeze probable will freeze in December, I somehow have the
 feeling it won't use grub2 by default.
 So I suggest to change the grub2 instead of grub-legacy template.
 It shouldn't say anymore that grub2 is experimental.
 Ubuntu karmic is now using it by default and there aren't any critical
 bug reports (neither on LP or debbugs).
 
 Unfortunately I'm not at all good at these things and my english isn't
 that great either.
 I think it should mention that grub2 has support for UUIDs,ext4,lvm and
 RAID and that it lacks currently password support and savedefault.
 Or maybe the last part should be left out, so the translations won't
 need to be updated if we implement it.
 

Ok now that Otavio agreed on IRC that it shouldn't say anymore that
grub2 itself is experimental but the d-i support for it, here's a
concrete proposal:

 GRUB 2 is the next generation of GNU GRUB. It has interesting new features
 like UUIDs, LVM, mdraid and ext4, but it lacks password and savedefault
 support. Note that the Debian-Installer support for it is still experimental.
 If you choose to install it, you should be prepared for breakage, and have an 
 idea on how to recover your system if it becomes unbootable. You're advised
 not to try this in production environments.

By the way what do these `# :sl2:' comments mean? man po-debconf
doestn't document them.

Heads-up: release goal affects kernel udebs

2009-07-30 Thread Frans Pop
From the announcement to d-a today:
|  * Discard and rebuild of binary packages uploaded by maintainers,
|leaving only packages build in a controlled environment

The team may want to request an exception for this for kernel udebs.

Although kernel udebs built with mass-build should in theory build 
correctly when rebuilt normally, there are two reasons why we might not 
want that:

- massbuild allows us to control *exactly* which kernel version the udebs
  are build against which helps avoid out-of-sync problems; if they would
  be rebuilt on a buildd, we'd lose some of the control we currently have.
- massbuild allows us to built against kernels that are not yet or no
  longer available in unstable, which has been very useful in the past.

Note that I do not plan to follow up on this myself.

Cheers,
FJP

Bug#382425: [PATCH] discover: use sysfs for pcmcia

2009-07-30 Thread Wolfram Sang
Hi,

trying to get rid of the old pcmcia-ioctl-interface in the kernel, I modified
discover to use sysfs for that. Please find the patch attached. It modifies
configure.ac, so autoreconf has to be used to generate the new configure.

Is this interesting? I hope so, it seems discover is the last more prominent
user of that old interface...

Regards,

   Wolfram

---

Finally get rid of these messages that discover uses the outdated pcmcia-ioctl
interface. For that, the sysfs-code was copied from PCI and adapted. That means
the ioctl-method is still there as a fallback.

Re: [PATCH] Basic Openmoko GTA02 support

* Gaudenz Steinlin gaud...@debian.org [2009-07-29 17:45]:
 The most important thing is that we can all agree on the same name.
 Which one we actually choose does not matter that much for me. I would prefer
 s3c24xx, though, as I've mostly settled for this name now for the things
 I've done in during the last days. Is there any opposition against this
 name?

It's fine with me.  I don't think it makes a big difference whether
it's s3c24xx or s3c... just pick one and stick to it. :)

  I think it's fine to apply patches for e.g. libdebian-installer,
  base-installer, flash-kernel, etc; but you obviously cannot change
  linux-kernel-di-armel-2.6 and the d-i build system before we have a
  kernel in the archive.
 
 Is there no way we can commit the patches to the build system but not
 activate it for Debian builds?

Yeah, you can do that.

Anyway, please post your new patches to the list for review first.

Re: Custom dialog during install?

2009-07-30 Thread Lucas Brasilino
 I have a need to prompt user for input during the installation using d-i. I
 have done quite a bit of searching but I don't seem to find the right words
 to actually find a solution. I came across this thread:
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2008/09/msg01078.html Which suggest I
 would need to create a custom udeb for it, or create the templates on the
 fly. As I need only a very basic question/answer I'd rather do it
 on-the-fly, however I did not find the solution from the web page linked
 from that answer.

 What would be the best place to look for examples to create this kind of
 simple dialog from the script run as late_command?

The way I got a custom dialog was reading this[1] to know how to create a udeb.
Then I hacked how simple-cdd-profiles[2] udeb package is loaded into
d-i and how it loads
a debconf template. Basically simple-cdd-profiles udeb is loaded by:

d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install simple-cdd-profiles

in a preseed file. Once added to d-i (installed) it's postinst script
calls debconf-loadtemplate[3].
I used this way and it still working quite well.

Lucas Brasilino
