Guillaume Kulakowski: RPM Fedora 10 pour le plugin Pidgin privacy-please

Posted: January 6th, 2009, 8:41pm CET

img src=http://llaumgui.fedorapeople.org/GuillaumeKulakowski.png alt= style=float: right; pDepuis quelques temps, je subis du a href=http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam hreflang=frspam/a un peu particulier puisqu'il provient de mes contacts MSN et transite par le protocole a href=http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSNP hreflang=frMSNP/a. Comme je ne peux pas appliquer la solution radicale d'abandonner MSN et de forcer mes contacts à migrer sous a href=http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabber hreflang=frJabber/a (c'est bon, mangez en !); j'ai été obligé d'installer un plugin anti-spam sur mon client MSN, à savoir a href=http://www.pidgin.im/ hreflang=enPidgin/a. Sur a href=http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins hreflang=enla page de plugins non-officiels/a pour Pidgin, il y avait 2 extensions répondant à mes attentes : a href=http://pidgin-bs.sourceforge.net/ hreflang=enBot Sentry/a amp; a href=http://freshmeat.net/projects/pidgin-pp/ hreflang=en Pidgin-privacy-please/a.

Fedora Mexico: Cargando Linux en 5 segundos

Posted: January 6th, 2009, 5:26pm CET

img src=http://proyectofedora.org/mexico/mexico.png alt= style=float: right; pEn la “Linux Plumber Conference” -que ha sido una conferencia sobre toda la “fontanería” de bajo nivel que hace funcionar a un sistema Linux y que, según lo que dicen muchos de los que han asistido, ha sido la conferencia linuxera más interesante que jamás se ha celebrado- los desarrolladores de Linux de Intel han mostrado al público una cosa sorprendente: Un sistema Linux -concretamente un EEE PC de asus- que tarda en cargar tan solo cinco segundos. Por cierto, eso con un disco duro flash, con un disco duro tradicional el tiempo se eleva a 10 segundos./p pPuede parecer el típico hackeo radical que no tiene mucha utilidad para las distros normales, pero no lo es, aunque sin duda muchas de sus conclusiones son algo radicales. Por ejemplo, no se utiliza initrd (al parecer, el 95% de los sistemas de escritorio, que es en quien en teoría se deberían centrar el desarrollo, pueden soportarse con un kernel con unos cuantos módulos compilados estáticamente. El 5% restante puede soportarse con un kernel alternativo que tenga initrd). Y se salta GDM, y utiliza XFCE. Pero no se salta udev, ni HAL, ni DBUS. Aunque quizás las distros no van a cargar en 5 segundos, sin duda podrían hacerlo en muy poco tiempo más./p pArticulos Similares: /pul class=similar-posts lia href=http://proyectofedora.org/mexico/2008/07/17/mi-nombre-es-linux-gnulinux/ rel=bookmark title=Julio 17, 2008Mi nombre es Linux.

James Morris: Security changes in the 2.6.28 kernel

Posted: January 6th, 2009, 12:11pm CET

img src=http://planet.fedoraproject.org/images/heads/default.png alt= style=float: right; Version a href=http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_282.6.28/a of the Linux kernel was released during Christmas, so I thought it'd be worthwhile waiting until after typical vacation days to post a summary of changes to the security subsystem. As always, thanks to the a href=http://kernelnewbies.org/Kernel Newbies/a folk who track major kernel changes.br /ulbr /libDummy SELinux policy support/bbr /Serge Hallyn added a a href=http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=93c06cbbf9fea5d5be1778febb7fa9ab1a74e5f5dummy policy/a for SELinux to the kernel tree. This is useful for testing SELinux and a base for building minimal and experimental security policies.br //libr /libBouned per-thread security contexts for SELinux/bbr /KaiGai Kohei submitted a href=http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d9250dea3f89fe808a525f08888016b495240ed4a patch/a which allows different threads in a process to be labeled with distinct security contexts. Such threads are guaranteed to not exceed the security policy permissions of the parent process. This is part of his work in extending SELinux to the web application stack, and in this case, is aimed at constraining in-process web server scripts (e.g. mod_python applications)./libr /libLabeled networking updates/bbr /Paul Moore provided a series of updates to the Labeled networking subsystem, which he promises to document on his a href=http://paulmoore.livejournal.com/blog/a./libr /libMAC policy for privilege in Smack/bbr /Casey Schaufler a href=http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=15446235367fa4a621ff5abfa4b6ebbe25b33763extended Smack/a so that MAC policy may be used to limit the use of privilege. Previously, the Smack model maintained strict orthogonality between privilege and access control, where privileged processes were exempted from MAC policy enforcement. This feature allows for MAC policy enforcement of processes running with specific security label (as written to code/smack/onlycap/code), or for all processes if the codeonlycap/code label is specified as '*'./libr /libTPM updates/bbr /Rajiv Andrade provided a href=http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/23/261several updates/a for the a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_ModuleTPM/a driver.br //li/ulbr /This was not a terribly exciting release for the security subsystem.br /br /Thus far for the 2.6.29 kernel, the main change is the massive credentials API change from David Howells. This has caused a couple of regressions, which were picked up by subsystem testing of Linus' tree. Fixes have been developed and are currently partially merged upstream. It seems we need to get more testing done in linux-next to avoid such breakage during future merge windows.br /br /Also noteworthy is the merge of the a href=http://marc.info/?l=git-commits-headamp;m=123077158301181amp;w=2pathname security/a hooks for LSM, which should pave the way for TOMOYO and AppArmor in 2.6.30, subject to the general patch submission review process. TOMOYO is only a couple of acks from approval, has been baking in -mm, and is pretty much self-contained. It may even appear in 2.6.29 if the merge window is open for features long enough.
Karsten Wade: The outside and inside of documentation, or, why aren’t you publishing on the Fedora wiki?

Posted: January 6th, 2009, 10:53am CET

img src=http://quaid.fedorapeople.org/media/images/quaid-kwade.png alt= style=float: right; pYou may have noticed there is a larger world of free software emoutside/em of Fedora than inside. The number of packages inside the Fedora Universe has really grown./p pYou may have noticed there is a larger world of Fedora-specific how-to documentation emoutside/em of Fedora than inside. A really huge amount. You may notice that the amount inside has grown very little by comparison./p pThere is new how-to documentation on the Fedora Planet nearly every day. The a href=http://fedoraforum.orgFedora Forum/a is full of useful (and not so useful) content. Sub-communities such as Fedora-fr have a href=http://doc.fedora-fr.org/wiki/Accueilrich document sets/a. People write how-to content in to their blogs, to their own wikis or CMS systems, or post downloadable content from any number of places. I just caught up on a a href=http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-December/msg00300.htmlthread on Fedora Ambassadors list about a Fedora 10 how-to document/a. As cool as it the document is, as great as the effort is, I could not help my first thought. “Why is this document not written as part of Fedora itself?”/p pYou know, just write it and add a href=https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:How_to[[Category:How to]]/a and a href=https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Draft_documentation[[Category:Draft documentation]]/a to the pages./p pThe irony is, it is emharder/em to get a package in to Fedora than a document, but because of our a href=http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Docs_Project_processpoor documentation/a (compared to the a href=http://fedoraprojectorg/wiki/Packaging:GuidelinesPackaging Guidelines/a) and equally poor marketing(?), not many people are taking the step to bring Fedora content eminside/em of Fedora./p pSince there are going to be a large number of contributors handy at the upcoming a href=http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:FUDConF11FUDCon/a, maybe that’s a chance to talk about it./p pThere are some very-near-term fixes that are going to make it easier to bring content inside of Fedora. Then all we need is the better marketing. img src=http://iquaid.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif alt=:) class=wp-smiley / /p ul liRecent wiki gardening work, including page renaming and smart a href=https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Categoriescategory/a usage, is yielding a useful wiki. Ian Weller, myself, and others are going to be a href=http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:FUDConF11#BarCamp_Sessions_with_Ownersswinging the wiki hammer/a at FUDConF11, and it’s much more than learning about the markup. There are real and useful best practices that yield you a useful set of wiki content. Looked at the a href=https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FontsFonts SIG pages lately/a? That’s one way to do it. Hopefully I’ll be showing off the newly trimmed, renamed, and categorized a href=http://fedoraprojectorg/wiki/Docs_ProjectDocs Project pages/a at FUDCon./li liBetter localization for the wiki — a wiki per native-language means people can include locale-specific content as well as content translated from the main English wiki. What would help more here is a way to track when new pages are created in native-language wikis that do not correspond to one from the English wiki. This flags those pages as possibly worthy of translation to other languages, including English./li liA content management system. I’ve been talking about this for a while, and hope that FUDCon helps move the needle on this activity. This helps by distributing publishing rights to the teams who own the content — the writing teams, the SIGs, and the other sub-projects. By having content more tied to Fedora versions, it make it easier on writers who only want to maintain content for a specific version of Fedora./li liThis all makes using DocBook XML much easier for everyone. We’ve already had a boost from the relative ease of using a href=http://fedorahosted.org/publicanPublican/a. By hosting each guide as a separate project on fedorahosted.org, the onus and accountability is firmly in the writing team and not blocked by project administrators. This was how we rolled for Fedora 10 in doing the a href=http://fedorahosted.org/install-guideInstallation Guide/a and a href=http://fedorahosted.org/release-notesRelease Notes/a — task tracking with Trac and project management from within the team. When that content is using an installable, upstream maintained system such as Publican surrounded by standard processes, we are much farther in the goal of creating a useful, repeatable documentation process that can be borrowed from Fedora and used in other places./li /ul pIf you are writing content that really could or should be on the Fedora wiki, please join the a href=http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-wikiwiki mailing list/a and find out how to do it right./p

Máirín Duffy: Chatty Applications

Some questions that I have that maybe could be used to come up with a set of guidelines if there aren't any:br /br /ulbr /liClassify the message you're sending out. Is it a critical message, a warning, or simple information? Is it hardware-related, security-related, long-running task related (task failed or task succeeded), do I need to take any action from it or is it not possible to take action from it? /libr /liWhat should the user do to address the issue, if there is any action to be taken? Can you allow the user to say, always treat this type of action this way without bugging me?/libr /li For each message classification, what is the most appropriate iconography needed for the message? Is there any special wording needed? Should it be displayed on a frequent basis? What basis? Or should it be displayed just once?/libr /liAllow users to 'unsubscribe' from particular types of notification. But perhaps don't make it all or none (although I may want to opt-out of all messages from a particular app, I should be able to turn it off at a more fine-grained level.) In each alert dialog/notification bubble, allow users to one-click visit the notification preferences for that (or all?) applications so they can quiet it. Also, should there be both 'shut up now' and 'shut up forever' buttons? If not which should be more prominent?/libr /liAlerts are going to the desktop, to the currently-logged in user. Are there users of the system who aren't logged in who would want to be kept notified of the alerts? Are there users logged in remotely who might want an alert on the shell? How do desktop notifications/alerts translate?/libr /liHow do you enable users to take action on alerts? What if there are many alerts from the same application? How do you consolidate them so that users can perform the same action on multiple alerts at once but in a well-informed manner (or at least as informed as the user wants to be)? /libr /liWhen do you decide to alert a user vs. take action on their behalf without bugging them? To what level should the user be allowed to dictate this if they want more or less notification/control than provided by default?/libr //ulbr /br /Just some half-formed thoughts anyway. I would be curious to see if anyone is familiar with guidelines on these. I've looked in a few UI books and guidelines (GNOME HIG, Apple UI guidelines, MS UI guidelines) and haven't found any yet but maybe I'm not looking in the right spots.
Greg DeKoenigsberg: Synching OLPC and Fedora development

Posted: January 5th, 2009, 10:57pm CET

img src=http://gdk.fedorapeople.org/gdk-hackergotchi.jpg alt= style=float: right; OLPC is now working hard on their 9.1.0 release, and their a href=http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap/Page_of_all_features_that_target_9.1.0roadmap/a is very clearly outlined. Well done to all the OLPC people for their ever-increasing efforts to keep external folks in the loop.br /br /There are two items to which interested Fedora contributors should be paying particularly close attention.br /br /First: a href=http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap/Page_of_all_features_that_target_9.1.0#Feature_roadmap.2FRebase_on_Fedora_10Rebase 9.1.0 on Fedora 10/a. This is a big one. OLPC has made a strong commitment to move as much of their work as possible into Fedora packages upstream. At latest count, there are approximately 25 packages in the OLPC-4 repository that are forked from their F10 counterparts. We can use all the help we can get from the Fedora community to help bring these packages into mainline Fedora. Peter Robinson in particular has been a big help, but we can always use more. Remember: every hour an OLPC developer spends maintaining a forked package is an hour they cannot use to save the world. br /br /Second: a href=http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Feature_roadmap/Page_of_all_features_that_target_9.1.0#Feature_roadmap.2FRun_Fedora_applications_on_XORun Fedora applications on the XO/a. This is another big one. Users all over the world love Sugar, but its limitations can be painful. Many users want to run Fedora applications that simply don't look good under Sugar. There are some good approaches to solving this problem -- replacing Matchbox with a tiled window manager, for instance -- but it's a problem that can use more eyes.br /br /If you are interested in helping with either of these problems, leave a comment and find us at FUDCon.
