Updates, upgrades e soluções

Conforme disse no outro post, o problema maior com estas manobras é mesmo o usuário. Neste caso: eu!

Vamos as etapas de entendimento e medidas práticas que adoto.

Use a versão instável ou mesmo a alpha: os repositórios estão maduros e eles não colocam lixo lá, são profissionais demais para fazer isto. Quanto antes nos deparamos com as novidades, mais cedo aprendemos a conviver com elas.

Entretanto, nunca use-as num sistema crítico ou se você tem uma atividade para apresentar amanhã. Deixe uma partição com o sistema instável instalada, para estas emergências.

Porque o Software Livre não pode, não deve depender do ms-novell-mono

Há muito que digo isto, mas agora a voz de Richard Stallman fez-se ouvir neste artigo em que ele explica as razões pelas quais o Software Livre não pode depender de tecnologia com problemas de patentes da microsoft.

Embora pelo que eu tenha percebido a Debian é um caso mais relativo porque a enorme quantidade de opções que dá a quem a vai instalar permite que caso não se escolha o GNOME, não tenhamos pacotes do ms-novell-mono(poly) incluidos.

Stop Making Linux and Open Source Ideological

Recently, Slashdot reported that Free Software Foundation (FSF) leader Richard Stallman criticized Debian’s decision to include Mono in its future releases of its Linux distribution. Mono is an interpreter for Microsoft’s .NET platform that allows certain prorams coded for the Windows .NET platform to be executed inside of Linux natively. Arguing that this maneuver further indebts the development of GNU Linux to Microsoft, Stallman vehemently arued that it was a mistake and will have dire consequences for the continued development of Linux, open source, and free software as a whole.

Installer and benchmarks

Debian developer Kenshi Muto backported the latest 2.6.30 kernel plus firmware for Lenny. So if you have to deal with newer hardware and need the latest kernel, read his blog about it. You can also download the installer images from a French mirror, which could be faster because of better bandwidth. Thanks, Kenshi!

Stackless-Python in Netkit VM

I needed to do this, since I’m running a x86_64 machine, and netkit emulates a 32-bit one. Thus external programs cannot be run inside Netkit, which, surprise, is also a security feature.

1. Install netkit:

# yaourt netkit

2. Use the second method described in the Netkit FAQ to update packages in the VM image:

# mkdir /mnt/nkft
# mount -o loop,offset=32768 $NETKIT_HOME/fs/netkit-fs /mnt/nkfs
# chroot /mnt/nkfs

3. Install the build tools:

# apt-get install gcc g++ make automake autoconf libc6-dev binutils

4. Then proceed with Stackless (there seems to be no Debian package yet). First, install dependencies:

# apt-get install bzip2 openssl

Then:

Compilando para máquinas 32-bits em uma máquina AMD64

É bem simples fazer a compilação cruzada de aplicativos x86 em máquinas AMD64 com gcc. Assegure-se de ter os includes e bibliotecas 32 bits instaladas. Pelo menos, tenha os pacotes ia32-libs (as bibliotecas mínimas) e libc6-dev-i386 (para as inclusões). O gcc estará com suporte a multilib (múltiplas bibliotecas).
apt-get install ia32-libs libc6-dev-i386

A partir daí, basta acrescentar a opção -m32 ao compilador gcc.
gcc -m32 -o hello hello.c

Uma arquitetura em particular (i386, i486, pentium etc.), pode ser especificada com -march.
gcc -m32 -march=i386 -o hello hello.c

Upgraded to Debian Lenny

Upgraded to lenny about three weeks back. But it took three weeks for a blog post on it. Could not get enough time to post about it(Belive me ) When i moved from Ubuntu to Etch, i had faced a lot of issues. First issue was with Wireless card. Next one was with ALSA. Not sure what the issue was, but at times the volume remains at 0 and when tried raising goes upto 100 with a lot of noise. Running alsaconf fixed the issue everytime, but i could not get enough time to set it right. Badly needed Firefox 3.0, but it required GNOME higher version hence the rendering was not all that great. So was waiting for Lenny for a very long time.
