Re: [leaf-devel] initial 3.0 beta feedback
Hi Paul, 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? Diff is part of busybox and included. a port of traceroute would be a good thing (feedback from burning man) ditto iperf Iperf is pretty difficult to compile, it's c++ code and is known to have problems with crosscompiling (it's even noted on the website). Traceroute won't work on the router by default, shorewall will block the traffic in the standard config. But both are nice additions as addon packages. 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. You can just tar.gz a changed /etc/inittab and rename it to configdb. lrp to have an initial package. lrpstat friends aren't in the packages directory Lrpstat needs a java sdk to build, will take a look. But I think it is in CVS somewhere... webwlan was not either Not sure, wil take a look. (I think there is a webwlan.lwp somewhere in CVS). should we be saving /var/lib/random-seed in configdb? It is saved. Eric - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [leaf-devel] patch: enable traceroute in busybox

Hi Paul, Good idea, will take a look. Eric Please consider applying this patch to dropbear. It will dynamically create the dropbear host key files if they don't exist.

Re: [leaf-devel] dynamic modules building idea
Hi Paul,
Sounds interesting, but you can also unpack the modules tarball on
one of the storage media, mount it and load the modules directly from
there (some examples in the /etc/modules file).
But I like this idea, it's very easy this way to create or update a
moddb on a running system.
Eric
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.

Re: [leaf-devel] example 'build modules' engine...
Hi Paul, A few comments: -We do have tar -X, so you can use that. Take a look at the apkg upgrade code for an example. -The hardcoded name of the modules repository is somewhat ugly, maybe you can do something with uname to find the kernel version. Eric Here's what I was talking about... this is the core engine, obviously it should take some command arguments, and make some intelligent guesses about where .lrp files exist (stealing from apkg/lrcfg), but I wanted to show actual working code to make this a non-academic pitch. Even if folks don't like the idea of dynamic modules extraction at start, this is a useful tool in its current condition for building up your modules on demand and saving them with lrcfg.

Speaking of busybox, I noticed that you're linking busybox to its linked
commands with symbolic links instead of hardlinks. Using hardlinks
should be more memory and space efficient *if* using a symbolic link
takes up an inode in the filesystem in memory/on disk. Unfortunately,
my memory is too foggy to remember exactly which filesystems symbolic
links take inodes in vs directory entries.
Having argument processing is indeed nice, but automatically finding
boot media is not really necessary in my opinion. It doesn't need to
be a fully automatic process. If you just mount the device and
something like 'loadmod /mnt/Bering-uClibc-2.4.33.tar.gz' it should
be enough for a start.
OK, then you're welcome to add this to the distribution. :-)
Feel free to bang on it.

[leaf-devel] yet another functionality request for 3.0 - ancillary file storage .lrp
The 2.x distribution had one particularly nice feature that I'd like to see reimplemented in 3.x. From the looks of it, saving the config currently only checks the collection of config files enumerated in /var/lib/lrpkg/*.config. There are times when I need ancillary scripts and crap on the router and don't have them in a package format (and don't want them in their own separate package), but there's no way to save them between reboots. For example, when I'm working on tools like the modules building script, or if I'm doing some lightweight firewalling and don't want to use shorewall, I might just have a simple script in /usr/bin or /etc/init.d respectively. It would be cool if we could have a local.lrp similar to configdb and moddb that contained any extra files not explicitly enumerated in the loaded packages package lists (obviously excluding /dev and /var and any other random generated crap). We used to have a local.lrp that covered everthing in /usr/local, but honestly that was a bit limiting anyway (my local stuff inevitably got saved in the 2.x etc.lrp). If there's no official behavior for this currently (I could be blind, I'm cutting over to 3.x at high speed and not reading docs all that well), would you mind if I created something?

Re: [leaf-devel] yet another functionality request for 3.0 - ancillary file storage .lrp
Hi Paul, The 2.x distribution had one particularly nice feature that I'd like to see reimplemented in 3.x. From the looks of it, saving the config currently only checks the collection of config files enumerated in /var/lib/lrpkg/*.config. Nope, it checks the sha1sums of the files listed in /var/lib/lrpkg/*.local There are times when I need ancillary scripts and crap on the router and don't have them in a package format (and don't want them in their own separate package), but there's no way to save them between reboots.

Please take a look at the local.lrp package of 3.x, it has a new functionality. You can list the added files that you want to save. Before use check the help file of local.lrp.
