Bug#662763: RFS - libaio-ocaml 1.0-1
Hi, I've just uploaded libaio-ocaml_1.0-1_amd64.changes to mentors [1] and also taged it in git [2,3] as debian/1.0-1. The debian/rules file now has a release target that creates the orig tarball, imports it into the upstream branch and pristine-tar branch if needed and tags the release. I couldn't get it to work with git merge since that complains about a modify/delete conflict if anything in the debian dir is changed. But git-import-orig works fine too. I will see if I can get the histories of the master and upstream branch connected for later releases.

Greetings Timo I've been thinking about the problem of memory consumption too. But I've come to a different solution. One that doesn't need memory at all. I know yet another solution. For each file you visit, you simply visit the complete tree. Than you have n + 1 visits, but get constant space usage. Instead of remembering inodes, filenames and checksums create a global cache (e.g. directory hierachy like .cache/start of hash/hash) and hardlink every file to there. If you want/need to include uid, gid, mtime, mode in there then make that part of the .cache path. Garbage collection in the cache would be removing all files with a link count of 1. Going one step further link files with unique size [uid, gid, mtime, ...] to .cache/size and change that into .cache/size/start of hash/hash when you find a second file with the same size that isn't identical. That would save on the expensive hashing of clearly unique files. So implement an object store and replace files outside the object store with hardlinks to the store. Yes, this is guaranteed to work for some cases, but also has problems. If you create files first, and then move them to the store, you still need to check every file with link count != 1 and check whether it is in the cache already. And for this, you need a lookup by inode if you want to avoid hashing. And this is basically the same hierarchy as git has: .git/objects/first 2 hex digits of sha1sum/remaining sha1sum In the above every file is in the cache. A link count of 1 would indicate a new file that hasn't been processed yet. Unfortunately you can also have files with link count != 1 that aren't processed yet, e.g. 2 new files that are hardlinked to each other. Detecting wether a file is already in cache or not actualy needs to check 2 things: 1) link count == 1 = new file, add to cache 2) link count != 1 but hash of file not known (e.g. extended attribute not set) = new set of files that are hardlinks to each other Actually the link count can be completly ignored if you always add a flag when you've processed a file. Note: The above wastes time in the 2nd case since it would checksum all the files that are hardlinks one by one and replace them with hardlinks into the cache. But you could remember the inode and name of the first occurance. This would only use up memory proportionally to the number of new inodes. You could also use a hash that computes the first byte from the first 4k, second byte from 64k, thrid from 1mb and so on. That way you can check if the beginning of 2 files match without having to checksum the whole file or literally comprare the two. If the beginning can match. They're not guaranteed to match just because the hashes match. This wouldn't be to proof identity but to quickly proof difference. If the first 4k differ then the file will not match. Only makes sense if you have a lot of big files of equal size. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

See bug # 540333 The package description is: apt-cross is intended to make it easier to locate, download, install and update your cross-compiling libraries, directly from the Debian archives. . By default, apt-cross uses /etc/apt/sources.list to find the current Debian package file for the architecture specified (or dpkg-cross default) and in the suite specified (default is unstable). Alternatively, you can specify a different mirror. Downloaded files can be passed directly to dpkg-cross using the -b or -i commands to apt-cross. I'm maintaining ia32-apt-get, which is verry similar and yet somewhat different. ia32-apt-get so far aims at installing packages from another architecture to run binaries. My hope was that in the long run ia32-apt-get would merge with dpkg-cross and apt-cross and then fade into true multiarch. What would really help would be some person familiar with the cross building setup to work hand in hand to discover the similarities and differences and work out how to merge them. Also the multiarch proposal has no actual implementation plan for -dev packages. At some point we need to sit down and work out what -dev packages should look like in the end and how we get there. That also includes finding ways to make libtool or pkg-config multiarch aware. Sorry if I steal volunteers from apt-cross here but I think planing ahead will benefit everyone in the end.

Description : Very Simple Archive Generator
Vsag is a very simple program aimed at generating Debian archives out of
a directory filled with packages.
.
It doesn't track state or manage the directory itself in any way. Its
purpose is to provide a very simple method to generate the files normally
provided by a Debian archive so that it can be used by programs like apt
or debootstrap.
Why not improve dpkg-scanpackages instead? What is there missing that
you'd need?
Not at all! dpkg-scanpackages works fine, in fact Vsag uses it to generate
Packages files. But it does also a few other things:
- Generates compressed Packages.{gz,bz2}.
- Generates Release indexes.
- Automated gpg signatures.
- DAK-like dists/ directory structure (with per-architecture separation)
- etc
Why not use reprepro ich is real simple to configure and does all this
and more.

If you are looking for a kernel-space implementation rather than a user-space, you want to go with unionfs or aufs. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-kvm Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#273713: Lustre packaging
Jimmy Tang [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Alastair, The 2.6.16 code I have works for light use: survives some tests such as bonnie, etc. but hangs in large workloads: I'm debugging this, but would prefer to target 2.6.17 for Etch. (even if we don't get in the Etch release, I'd like to support the stable kernel.) Some patches ported to 2.6.17. Out of curiousity what sort of heavy workloads are you trying out on the system? I'd be interested in testing the package out on a small test cluster here as well for users who have heavy IO needs. We usualy do a burn-in test that continiously copies a linux source tree to a new dir and compares it. And that with a few clients. Also some benchmarks like bonnie with 1-x clients to see how it scales. also is there any interest in testing these patches for 2.6.16/17 with with the openib patches/stacks? For that I'm waiting for 2.6.18. I'm assuming you mean the openib2 driver in the vanilla kernel and not the (extra) melanox drivers. With 2.6.15 we patch in the melanox drivers. Jimmy.

Jimmy Tang [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I guess i didnt phrase my initial mail too well, but yes openib2 in the vanilla kernel + lustre it is something I would like to test. though we havent sucessfully gotten openib2 to work correctly on our compute systems so we havent looked at lustre + openib2 yet. i guess we should look at getting openib2 working correctly at our site before i post more to this list in relation to openib2+lustre. Thanks, Jimmy. Since we intend to use the same here I'm very intrested in any progress and tests you make. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#273713: Lustre packaging
Alastair McKinstry [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I've initial packaging done for 1.5.91 (alias 1.6 beta 4). This is for kernel 2.6.16; I'm porting it to 2.6.17, but have work to do for this, because of the changes for 2.6.17 in ext3; now is a good time to put it up and merge our work :-) I have patches for 2.6.18rc3 but haven't yet test booted the result. The 2.6.15/16 patches though work fine in productive use here. Maybe you missed something. We should also investigate CFS e2fsprogs and check if we should get their changes into the Debian package. If it doesn't get included in the debian package then it has to divert all file overlaps. e2fsprogs is required so conflicting with that would be problematic for dpkg/apt I think.

Bug#237713: Lustre packaging
Alastair McKinstry [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I see from 237713 that you ITP'd lustre. Are you still actively working on packaging Lustre? I am packaging it as part of work, and have been porting it forward to 2.6.16 (amd64) - currently building and testing it (the 1.5.91 beta build). Do you have any work in progress, so should I upload if ready? Regards Alastair McKinstry I have 1.4.6.1 ported to 2.6.15 and 2.6.16 and the same for 1.4.6.94. I'm currently stuck at porting it to kernel 2.6.18 since there was a large change in ext3 in 2.6.17. I'm also trying out several revision control systems (arch, git, quilt) to see which one I like best and which one makes porting to new kernel and lustre versions the easiest. That has left me no time to do the actual debianization yet so if you have any of that done that would be more than welcome. There is already a project on Alioth http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-lustre/ setup by Andreas Salomon (dilinger) which is probably a good place to merge our efforts. We should ask him to add us there. Thoughts? MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Your goal is to conquer all of the planets in the game by sending ships there. Planets that are under your control generate new ships. Simple AI players are playing against you. As you gain more experience throughout the game, more AI players have to be kicked out of bigger solar systems. The Makefile needs some fixing: - use $(shell ...) instead of ``. - -W -Wall -g in CFLAGS And one maybe serious warning: planets.cpp:331: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void And maybe it should go to the next level on its own without having to restart. :) Apart from this it looks like a nice game.

The Makefile needs some fixing: - use $(shell ...) instead of ``. - -W -Wall -g in CFLAGS Also I think I have to make it possible to disable -O. -g shouldn't be only for debugging? You should (must?) always build with -g and the stip the result after installing them in debian/qonk. This allows users to build the package locally and run gdb ./qonk or to send you a core file that you can use with your local unstriped qonk. You can also support the no opt option to switch -O2 on and off. Sometimes you need that for debugging. Not very often though. And one maybe serious warning: planets.cpp:331: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void I will fix it. And maybe it should go to the next level on its own without having to restart. :) Yeah, upstream acknowledges that :) There is a shell script mentioned in the website that supposedly does the job, I will check if it's suitable. It should just have a loop inside main() that restarts in the next level. Shouldn't be that hard. With a shell script the screen would flicker between levels, not nice. Apart from this it looks like a nice game. Runs on amd64. Cool! Thanks again! -- MartÃn Ferrari MfG Goswin

Bug#284370: ITP: dak -- dak - Debian Archive Maintenance Scripts

Finaly. I looked at DAK a few times and always gave up because I couldn't make head or tails out of the millions of overlapping partly identical options. You don't want to use this if you only have a few hundred packages to maintain. Look at mini-dinstall or debarchiver or maybe even apt-ftparchive for this. Mirrorer (alioth project) is another one worth looking at. This is for a big archive, but there it is the best you can get. You need a running postgresql, but as this can be on some other host its only a Suggests - install package postgresql if you want it local. The package is still not finished (only about 2 weeks used for it at the moment), but its in a good enough state now to give it away for tests. At the moment I need some small fixes to the default setup, and I want to include another small script for user-handling. But it works nearly out of the box now, just a few steps that cant be automated (or for which I havent found the time/fun to automate them). At the moment its already running here and doing its job as it should, so it works at least for me. But I would like feedback from others before I upload it into the Archive. You should add -W to CXXFLAGS and check the lintian errors and warnings. I guess the multiple missing manpages can't be fixed that easily but the rest looks trivial. You can find it at http://ganneff.de/dak/pool/main/d/dak/ or use http://ganneff.de/dak/ for your sources.list as you would with a normal debian mirror, its the same structure, its running with dak. Well, that /dak/* is a bit messy at the moment, as I included more than I need in my config, but hey, its for my tests. :) deb http://ganneff.de/dak unstable main deb-src http://ganneff.de/dak unstable main No sid on your server. :) -- bye Joerg Das kannst du vielleicht mir erzaehlen, aber nicht jemanden, der Ahnung hat.

The package correctly installs any required dependencies for the rebuild, and cleans them up afterwards. . Whilst it is not expected to be used to gain a speed improvement offered by recompiling packages with arch specific optimizations it could be used for that with a sufficiently modifed compiler. Suggests: gcc-ssp, pentium-builder, athlon-builder. This ITP seems to overlap with sbuild or apt-src and maybe you would rather join one of them (or take over). MfG Goswin

Samuel Mimram [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: equeue Version : 2.0 Upstream Author : Gerd Stolpmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.ocaml-programming.de/programming/equeue.html * License : Proprietary, but DFSG free Description : Event queues OCaml library Equeue is an Objective Caml (OCaml) library containing a generic implementation of queues of events of any type, and a specific implementation of queues of file descriptor events. The generic module allows to associate an event queue with an event source, and one or several event handlers. The event source generates new events that are triggered from the outer world. The handlers consume events, but it is allowed that handlers also generate events. The module for file descriptor events already defines an event source; this source watches registered file descriptors and produces events if a descriptor wants to deliver data, or if a descriptor is ready to accept data. As in the generic module, the handlers consume the events. The main application of these modules are implementations of protocol stacks which can cooperate with each other. Can you select edge or level triggered events? Can you limit the throughput of file descriptors? MfG Goswin

Maybe we could work together on this? I've heard from Fabian that using LVM2 snapshots would be a interesting alternative, so I'll be sure to take a look at your current work. Method wise I can savely say my project is unique since the neccessary features are bleading edge in the linux kernel and lvm2. :) Anyway, I see quite a lot of overlap, I'm in the process of becoming a DD, so when that is over I'll be more than willing to sponsor you...
