Thanks a lot! Yeah, I think the initial approach is just wrong. Consider if we ever had an (unlikely) SONAME bump for libc, the library might end up linked against libc.so.7 and the code loading libc.so.6. Depending on the intended usage there are possibly better ways to achieve that. If the library is supposed to be pre-loaded then using RTLD_NEXT as the handle is way better, and avoids having to use an explicit library name. If it's not, on GNU systems we can always use LIBC_SO and LIBPTHREAD_SO from , for example. Otherwise on non-GNU ELF systems, we could link a small program and then readelf (or objdump) it to find the NEEDED entry for libc. Or we could also try to readlink the libc.so symlink and make sure it's an ELF object at build time to try to get the SONAME (this will fail on at least GNU systems as the libc.so is a linker script there).

Re: kfreebsd -- encryption options
Hi, I checked a few other images, namely the daily netboot builds from 05/12, 05/18, 06/05 and 06/11 (today). They all have the same problem: "physical volume for encryption" doesn't show up during partitioning, neither with crypto-modules-10.3.0-amd64-di, nor with crypto-dm-modules-10.3.0-amd64-di, nor with both loaded. Also, zfs encryption doesn't seem to work (`zfs create -o encryption=on ...` gives "cannot create 'bsdpool/bsdroot': invalid property 'encryption'".

Installer for stable or testing
Hi, besides the problems I mentioned in my previous two mails from today and yesterday, the netboot daily images don't allow for installing a version other than sid. Hence, I tried the "official build" again, but it still only allows for installing wheezy. Can you estimate when a new version of the installer supporting more recent versions and finally a Jessie release will be out? (I'm a bit confused since Steven prefigured it for "1-2 weeks" on 24th November). Cheers, Philipp

We don't support it yet in the installer, but it is potentially possible, if you install some part that is unencrypted and set up encrypted partitions later. My laptop boots a very small unencrypted root (similar to an initramfs). An early /etc/rcS.d script prompts me to unlock a geli partition, inside which I have a ZFS pool which is mounted after that. The (encrypted) ZFS filesystems can be mounted anywhere - you could encrypt only /home if you prefer - or even over the top of /usr or / (the latter would be similar to doing a pivot_root, which is how full-disk encryption is usually implemented on Linux). Remember to move /lib/modules into /boot in this case, and put a symlink back from /lib/modules -> /boot/modules There are still other ways. Regular OpenSSH can be used for a dropbear-type setup. The FreeBSD kernel has some way to mount an encrypted root partition by itself; and GRUB2 supports encryption and GPG verification of things it loads too.

There isn't a kfreebsd "testing" suite at the moment. Only: wheezy, jessie-kfreebsd, and sid. > (I'm a bit confused since Steven prefigured it for "1-2 weeks" on 24th > November). It has always been 1-2 weeks away ;) I think I first said that in April 2015... The finished jessie-kfreebsd system, including installer, is staged in jessie-kfreebsd-proposed-updates suite. But I haven't been able to get it copied into the main jessie-kfreebsd suite though, which prevents us from building official images. I opened an ftpmaster bug ticket open for that: https://bugs.debian.org/819253 but there a few people who could action it, and it is probably a non-trivial thing we are asking of them. What I did in the meantime is build a custom installer image with the jessie-kfreebsd-proposed-updates suite enabled.

Bug#827070: kfreebsd-10: please use LDADD instead of LDFLAGS for aicasm
Package: kfreebsd-10 Version: 10.3~svn300087-1 Tags: patch Hi When building kfreebsd-10 on ubuntuBSD, at least with current toolchain (and possibly on Debian eventually), it fails with linker errors because the -lbsd -ldb flags are not with the rest of the flags (-ll) and for some reason the linker can't find symbols on those libraries (bsd_getopt, etc). This can be fixed by using LDADD instead. Could you include the patch? https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntubsd/ubuntubsd/kfreebsd-10/diff/694?context=3 I've also sent the Makefile part to FreeBSD: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210221 Thanks! -- Jon Boden ubuntuBSD -- The power of FreeBSD kernel with familiarity of Ubuntu OS! http://www.ubuntubsd.org/ -- https://twitter.com/ubuntuBSD

Debian has this too (update-notifier-common) but I'm not sure if it is typically installed. If the reboot-required notification turns out to be annoying for users, we can reconsider how to handle this, but I'm happy to apply it in the meantime.
