[Leaf-devel] korn shell script

2002-07-18 Thread kimoppalfens

hi all,

Is there anybody who knows wether korn shell scripting is compatible
with ash?

Reason I ask is because mij dns registrar has a dynamic subscription type.
Which updates your ip by using a korn shell script.

If not is there somebody in here with both korn  ash shell scripting
that would like  try to convert it?

Thanks in advance
Kim

Aanhalen Erich Titl [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

At this point it is not working.
For various reasons.

So far I changed the obvious /usr/bin/ksh to /bin/sh on line 1.

I replaced all instances of print with echo.
There are a lot of [] in the script which apparently are not tolerated by ash.
The script makes use of lynx to call a php frontend at their site and I 
can't get lynx to work (error opening terminal: xterm).

And the script makes use of elif and I have no clue wether ash supports that.

if 
   then ...
   elif 

   then
   fi
fi

Maybe I should attach the original script?

Charles,

Thanks for your input :) Comments and more questions inline;

 Pretty much whatever you want :)

Heh... :)
 
  The majority of the code is written by myself. But there *are*

snippage 

 IMHO, writing code is a lot like writing books.  Everyone copies
 everyone else's ideas, but you need to stay away from actually
 plagerizing something.  Of course, trying to define exactly how much
 modification makes something entirely yours vs. a modified version of
 another author's code (or story, or whatever) is a pretty blurry line...

Agreed...
 
  Does anyone have any good links on the subject?
 
 Saddly, no.  Please share with the list if you find some good
 references.

Bummer :( I *was* kind of hoping for a reference to the GPL in 'human
readable' format...

If I find anthing useful, I'll post it.
 
  Personally I'd be only happy to see people using this thingie, but I
 ...

 Most of the open-source licenses are pretty strong about continuing to
 credit previous authors (one of the biggest sins in the open-source
 world is to deny credit to someone whose work you have built on).  I

Which makes perfect sense. And since I'm all for giving credit where
credit's due, that's all fine.

 doubt you found any major pieces of code that are reproduced in your new
 blind application (ie your work is basically original, not derrived), so
 you probably don't have to worry too much about licensing, but it would
 still maybe be nice if you included references to some of the material
 you used as references.

Yeah, this is what I intend to.
 
 Of course, if a big chunk of your code is lifted from somewhere, you
 will definately need to acknowledge that fact, and consider any
 licensing implications.

No *big* chunks, tiny ones, but still.
 
 BTW:  I consider the weblet code (cgi-bin scripts) to be GPL'd, although
 there is no license specified.  I guess I haven't worried about it too
 much because:

O.K.
 
 - Adding licensing notices and author credits takes space, and I was
 trying to make everything as small as possible

Smallness is not so much of a concern for me right now. One of the 
rationales for this app, is that it sits on a dedicated box, *well* 
shielded from public access. So after I ripped out most of the functions 
from the Bering system, there was plenty space...

At this point, smallness is more of a matter of code optimization/reuse
and speedy execution (the less code that runs, the faster it goes,
hopefully ;)
 
 - I'm not particularly worried about recieving ongoing credit for the
 cgi-bin stuff...it wasn't that much work.

O.K. But you won't *mind* it if I give you credit for it?
 
 - The shell-script stuff is pretty much open-source anyway...it's kind
 of hard to release a closed-source shell script :-)

lol... Yeah, you're right about that ;)
 
 NOTE: There *IS* a GPL notification at the start of sh-httpd, it was a
 bit more work :)

And that is what it takes? So I basically 'just declare' my stuff to be
GPL'ed (providing it lives up to any requirements) and that's that? Or
rather:

Considering that the whole thing consists of a number ~(10 - 12)
scripts/C-programs, do I need to put the 'notice' in each one? Or is it
sufficient to put it in, say, a README, packaged with the rest?

Also there's the matter of the source for the C-exes. As was mentioned
in the 'bering=GNU?' thread, it seems kind of overkill to put that in the
.lrp... So is it sufficient to post it on a website, or is it
better/preferred that I make a 'developer' tarball, with everything in
it, and make *that* available for download as well?

As for packaging in general, my intention is to makes the blinder.lrp
available, as a standalone package. That is, *not* to make complete
floppy images. So that anyone who wants to use it, will have to get a
Bering/(whatever) image, and strip that to make space and subsequently
install the blinder.lrp to it. The rationale being that anyone who's
about to build/use such a system, may as well get to know LEAF in the
process, plus it makes my life much easier. AND I avoid any licensing
issues in the process...

Thanks again for the response...

Jon Clausen

I'm going to reverse my recommendation in the post below.

CVS is the preferred place for source, and the alternate is a source
tarball.

Jon,
I think it's acceptable to place it in a LICENSE file. Embedded releases
can't practically include full license text, so I think linking is
acceptable. Note: IANAL.


I remember this topic being debated on the Debian lists about a year ago. 
The question there was a tiny bit different -- some people were arguing 
that having a single licenses file for the distribution as a whole was 
insufficient to comply with the GPL, and that each individual .deb binary 
package needed to include an actual copy of the license text (each one that 
used the GPL, that is; there are other DFSG-compliant licenses, of course).

I don't know (or at least don't recall) how this debate played out in 
principle. I do know that the proposed change to the contents of .deb files 
actually distributed as part of Debian (there are unofficial .deb 
packages around too)
was not made. The distro does include one copy of each of the various 
DFSG-compliant licenses in its base package set, though; certainly at least 
the CD-based LEAF versions could manage this (I haven't looked but I bet 
they already do).

I never see the full text of licenses included in the actual source code 
files themselves, though an accompanying LICENSE file is fairly common with 
the source packages.

 Hmm.  From http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/biabout.html :

 Maybe part of that 10k came out of gzip. ;)  I didn't see the
 busybox config file posted under
 http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/rc3/ ,
 so we may need the Bering crew to step in for futher diagnosis.

Here is the response:
There is indeed a bug in the 0.63 version of busybox as far a gzip is 
concerned. I was indeed the first one to notice it since backup was not 
working any more :-(. But you can fix it easily (I did it in the backup 
script but forgot /bin/savelog

firewall: -root-
# gzip --help
BusyBox v0.60.3 (2002.06.08-17:56+) multi-call binary

-rw-r--r--1 root root   27 Jul 18 20:17 foo.gz

So the fix in /bin/savelog
is to replace the line:
 $COMPRESS  $newname.0  $newfile
by 
 $COMPRESS  $newname.0 -  $newfile

Then save root.lrp

That's all folks !
Will be corrected in rc4. Thanks for spotting the bug
