[leaf-devel] initial 3.0 beta feedback
Just my random notes. I built a leaf flash from scratch using pxeboot on a spare box using the CVS .lrp packages diff.lrp is not being built? a port of traceroute would be a good thing (feedback from burning man) ditto iperf not having a WRAP configdb kinda sucked... (the whole serial console thing was a pain in the ass again). Could we uncomment the /dev/ttyS0 line in the default /etc/inittab until this stuff gets hammered out? It's much better to have to turn off a tty that you don't want than be unable to access an unconfigured machine. lrpstat friends aren't in the packages directory webwlan was not either should we be saving /var/lib/random-seed in configdb? - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[leaf-devel] dynamic modules building idea
I don't know how popular this is going to be, but I'll toss it out anyway.
For 99% of leaf users, storage is no longer ultra critical. This idea
is not meant to eliminate the current way of doing things (for those
folks who really are tight on secondary storage, things stay the same),
but I'd like to make a modest proposal.
If a file on the boot media called modules.tgz (or
Bering-uClibC-modules-2.4.33.tar.gz for the ISO image) is present,
extract the required modules from that file in realtime, on boot. That
way we're not saving storing custom moddb.lrps if all the modules that
would normally be in that file are already in the default distribution.
It's fairly trivial, I wrote some shell code in realtime to do it
because I needed to populate /lib/modules for my box. I like this idea
better (or as an alternate to the web based stuff Arne did) because I
know the source of my modules and keep them in exact sync with the kernel.
The code I kinda cobbled together in realtime did something like this.
This is just for an example, it is not productized or tested...
# generate a list of module names
modules=`sed -e 's/#.*//' -e 's/[^tab ].*//' -e '/^[tab ]*$/d'
/etc/modules`
mkdir /tmp/mods.$$
cd /tmp/mods.$$
zcat /mnt/Bering-uClibc-2.4.33.tar.gz | tar xf -
for file in $modules ; do
fn=`find /tmp/mods.$$ -name ${file}.o`
if [ ! -f /lib/modules/`basename $fn` ] ; then
echo -n Extracting $fn
cp $fn /lib/modules
echo .
fi
done
cd /tmp
rm -rf /tmp/mods.$$
Obviously, it should be done with tar -X so we don't fill up /tmp with a
bunch of memory resident crap that is just going away, but that's tbd
only if this sounds interesting to the B-U community.

[leaf-devel] dynamic generation of dropbear keys if not present
Please consider applying this patch to dropbear. It will dynamically create the dropbear host key files if they don't exist. This is EXTREMELY useful for bringup from scratch. If you don't have access to the serial port, at least you can ssh into the box. I wish I had had it today. With this change, there is no need for gendropbearkeys anymore. rm gendropbearkeys cvs rm gendropbearkeys Index: buildtool.cfg === RCS file: /cvsroot/leaf/src/bering-uclibc/apps/dropbear/buildtool.cfg,v retrieving revision 1.9 diff -u -r1.9 buildtool.cfg --- buildtool.cfg 26 Jun 2006 17:56:31 - 1.9 +++ buildtool.cfg 8 Sep 2006 04:54:58 - @@ -17,12 +17,6 @@ Directory = dropbear /File -File gendropbearkeys - Server = cvs-sourceforge - Revision = HEAD - Directory = dropbear -/File - File dropbear.init Server = cvs-sourceforge Revision = HEAD @@ -99,12 +93,6 @@ Type= link /File File - Source = usr/bin/gendropbearkeys - Filename= usr/bin/gendropbearkeys - Type= binary - Permissions = 755 - /File - File Filename= etc/dropbear Type= directory Type= local Index: dropbear.init === RCS file: /cvsroot/leaf/src/bering-uclibc/apps/dropbear/dropbear.init,v retrieving revision 1.1 diff -u -r1.1 dropbear.init --- dropbear.init 1 Jul 2004 14:40:54 - 1.1 +++ dropbear.init 8 Sep 2006 04:54:58 - @@ -20,10 +20,12 @@ if [ -n $DB_RSAFILE ]; then DB_OPTIONS=$DB_OPTIONS -r $DB_RSAFILE + test -f $DB_RSAFILE || dropbearkey -t rsa $DB_RSAFILE fi if [ -n $DB_DSSFILE ]; then DB_OPTIONS=$DB_OPTIONS -d $DB_DSSFILE + test -f $DB_DSSFILE || dropbearkey -t dss $DB_DSSFILE fi if [ -n $DB_BANNER ]; then - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
