Re: Providing official virtualisation images of Debian

[olivier sallou]

Let's not just forget that Amazon EC2 AMI is a nice thing to provide, but
interface to get ssh-keys etc... (just look at ip used to get meta data) is
propriatory and will not work with other cloud softwares (public or private,
such as open nebula/open stack).
Only EC2 interface is shared to manage the interface, but not the init
scripts required etc...

So Debian would need to create virtuals machines images specific to Amazon
but also some others...

Generic images (basic vm with ssh logging instead of using ssh keys) would
be required for use in private clouds or just companies/users using virtual
machines...

Bug#636114: ITP: libdssialsacompat -- DSSI ALSA compatibility library for non-Linux platforms

[Alessio Treglia]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Alessio Treglia 

* Package name: libdssialsacompat
  Version : 1.0.8
  Upstream Author : Sean Bolton 
* URL : http://smbolton.com/linux.html
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : DSSI ALSA compatibility library for non-Linux platforms

 libdssialsacompat is simply an extraction from and repackaging of
 the code from alsa-lib, necessary to support DSSI on non-ALSA
 systems.
 .
 libdssialsacompat is intended to provide the snd_seq_event_t
 declarations and handling code necessary to compile and use DSSI on
 non-ALSA systems. It aims to allows compiling DSSI code with as
 little change as possible, while not presenting itself in such a way
 as to fool other autoconf-enabled code into thinking a system has
 ALSA.
 .
 This library does NOT provide any sort of emulation of the ALSA
 audio, MIDI, or sequencer devices. The only part of ALSA that is
 required by the DSSI specification is the snd_seq_event_t definition
 and handling, and that is all libdssialsacompat is intended to
 replace. Other ALSA code should be ported to native facilities.

Interesting.  How can we make this interact with liboss-salsa?

Hm. But what exactly is wrong with update-rc.d  enable | disable ?

It seems to do what you want (in the case there is no black magick in
/etc/default, of course, or simply when {ENABLE|RUN|WHATEVER}=yes by
default).

Debian already has chkconfig, sysv-rc-conf etc. and I use them to disable
and enable services.
It's a pity that apparently a lot of people think that ENABLE= in
/etc/default is not only default, but even acceptable/preferred way.

I would be glad if all services (at least network-enabled or especially
insecure for other reasons) didn't start by default.

Hi Samuel, hi all,

Good point, this library provides just a small compatibility layer to
make DSSI plugins able to compile on non-Linux architectures.

*-bsd porters can surely give more information on the topic, a certain
amout of porting would be needed, I think.

Bug#636139: ITP: istgt -- iSCSI userspace target daemon for Unix-like operating systems

[Arno Töll]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Arno Töll" 

* Package name: istgt
  Version : 0.4
  Upstream Author : Daisuke Aoyama 
* URL : http://www.peach.ne.jp/archives/istgt/
* License : BSD-2-clause
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : iSCSI userspace target daemon for Unix-like operating 
systems

 istgt is a iSCSI target for Unix-like operating systems (including those with
 Linux and kFreeBSD kernels) running as daemon process in in user space.
 
 It supports:
 
  * Multipath I/O
  * 64bit LBA for volumes over 2 TiB size
  * Header/Data digest by CRC32C
  * Mutual authentication with CHAP
  * Multiple LUNs and ACLs for portals
  * IPv6/IPv4 support


 istgt is currently the only alternative to provide an iSCSI target for our 
kFreeBSD branch. 
 This package will be maintained in the GNU/kFreeBSD Maintainers team and I'm 
filing this
 WNPP bug on behalf of it. 

 If someone else - with or without FreeBSD knowledge - is interested to join 
me/us, any help is
 appreciated. The package itself is almost ready and can be found on [1].

Maybe everyone would be happy if there were a central place to set

Bug#636164: RFP: apt-clone -- ZFS integrated APT package handling utility

[Robert Millan]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: apt-clone
  Version : 0.7.9nexenta28
* URL : see below
* License : CDDL
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : ZFS integrated APT package handling utility

apt-clone is the command-line tool for handling packages, and may be considered
the user's "front-end" to the apt-get(8). It manages GRUB menu and ZFS 'syspool'
filesystems. Two upgrade methods supported: 1) safe upgrades via cloning a
currently active filesystem and later chrooting into it to perform actual
upgrade operation; 2) in-place (live) upgrades by checkpointing a currently
active filesystem prior to any upgrade modifications done by apt-get utility.
The live upgrading, as the name implies, happens in-place on the running system,
and without reboot. Unless the  safe -s option is explicitly specified, the
system will automatically detect whether the upgrade will require reboot, and
if so, it will clone the active filesystem and safely perform the software
upgrade within this ZFS clone. A user then has two options: reboot into the new
(upgraded) system folder or continue working (and possibly activate the upgrade
and reboot into it later).

apt-clone may be obtained from Nexenta APT repository.  It is shipped as part
of the apt package:

http://apt.nexenta.org/dists/hardy-unstable/main/source/admin/apt_0.7.9nexenta28.dsc
