Interrupted Sleep

Had to get up in the middle of the night to investigate why my home server's over-temperature alarm had gone off, to find that I had multiple firefox and mysqld processes consuming 100% CPU. The mysqld process on the Internet server was also at 100% though it was coping with it. Strangely, restarting these processes didn't help but after a bit of googling I resorted to rebooting the servers, and that did fix it. Further research today suggests I was hit by the leap-second bug, though why it only started misbehaving overnight when the leap second occurred over 24 hours earlier I don't know.

Fedora Project

• Patched perl-Net-SSH-Perl in Rawhide for Perl 5.16 compatibility (CPAN RT#76482)

• Submitted a review request for libpari23 (2.3.5), which was reviewed and approved by Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade, so I was able to import and build it in Rawhide; this was needed for perl-Math-Pari, which won't build with the later pari 2.5.x series

• Updated perl-Math-Pari in Rawhide (f18-perl) to build against libpari23 rather than pari (Bug #836835)

• Updated pari to 2.5.1 in Rawhide (Bug #821191)

Local Packages

• Updated dovecot to build-require quota-devel where available (F-10, EL-6 onwards) to make quota work with NFS-mounted mailboxes

• Updated perl-DateTime to 0.76:

  • The DateTime->subtract method ignored the end_of_month parameter (CPAN RT#77844)

• Updated perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime to 1.52 (rpm version 1.5200 to maintain upgrade path):

  • Shut up "unescaped braces in regex" warning from 5.17.0 (CPAN RT#77514)

• Updated perl-Perl-Tidy to 20120701 (see CHANGES for details)

• Updated php-Smarty to 3.1.11:

  • Bugfix: the patch for Topic 21856 broke tabs between tag attributes (Forum Topic 22124)

  • Bugfix: escape modifier support for PHP < 5.2.3 (Forum Topic 21176)

  • Bugfix: the default plugin handler did not allow static class methods for modifier (Issue 85)

  • Bugfix: {block.. hide} did not work as nested child (Forum Topic 22216)

• Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-Test-HTML-Tidy, perl-Test-Prereq, perl-Test-Script, perl-Test-Without-Module, perl-Text-Diff and perl-YAML-Tiny

Tuesday 3rd July 2012

Fedora Project

• Rebuilt perl-Math-Pari against libpari23 in Rawhide to fix broken dependencies (the old version wanted pari version 2.3.5, but pari has been upgraded in Rawhide to 2.5.1, and my previous perl-Math-Pari rebuild for libpari23 was in the special f18-perl tag rather than Rawhide)

• Updated proftpd in Rawhide to move the tmpfiles.d configuration from /etc to /usr/lib

Local Packages

• Updated dovecot:

  • dovecot updated to 2.1.8:

    • Incorporated the sieve_duplicate plugin into main Pigeonhole tree as a normal extension (vnd.dovecot.duplicate)

    • Added support for specifying multiple sieve_before and sieve_after paths

    • Added a "session ID" string for managesieve connections, available in %{session} variable (analogous to Dovecot change)

    • Fixed several small issues, including a few potential segfault bugs, based on static source code analysis

    • ManageSieve: changed use of EPROTO error to EIO in ManageSieve string stream implementation because it is apparently not known in BSD

    • Gave stamp.h.in (needed for autotools) some content to prevent it from disappearing in patch files

    • Fixed bug that caused a SunStudio CC compile failure

• Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-Archive-Tar, perl-Data-OptList, perl-File-Find-Rule-Perl, perl-File-Which, perl-HTTP-SimpleLinkChecker, perl-IPC-Cmd, perl-Mail-Mbox-MessageParser, perl-Mail-SPF-Query, perl-Mail-SPF-Test and perl-Module-Extract-VERSION

Friday 6th July 2012

Fedora Project

  • Made Math::BigInt::* dependency dynamic to avoid Math::BigInt falling back to BigInt backends that are too slow for practical use

• Updated perl-SUPER to 1.20120705 in Rawhide (f18-perl):

  • Resolved PAUSE packaging nit (CPAN RT#77110)

Local Packages

• New package plusnet-fttc, a set of scripts to bring up my Internet connection (I'm with UK ISP Plusnet with a Fibre broadband product, and I'm connecting a Linux server directly to the VDSL modem using PPPoE)

• I was hoping to be able to create an ifcfg-ppp0 configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and let NetworkManager look after the connection but it seems the current version of NetworkManager can't do that for xDSL connections (unlike ethernet ones), and, worse, it wants to be configured using the nm-connection-editor GUI and store the password in the Gnome keyring, neither of which are particularly helpful on a minimal server that doesn't have Gnome installed. So,what I ended up with was a systemd unit to run pppd:

• [Unit]
  Description=Plusnet FTTC connection
  Requires=network.target
  After=network.target
  
  [Service]
  ExecStart=/sbin/pppd call plusnet-fttc
  Restart=always
  
  [Install]
  WantedBy=multi-user.target

• ... and a /etc/ppp/peers/plusnet-fttc file for the connection details:

• #
  # pppd options file for connection to Plusnet using FTTC/PPPoE
  #
  
  #
  # We will use the PPPoE plugin for ppp
  plugin rp-pppoe.so
  
  #
  # Our DSL modem (preconfigured for PPPoE) is on interface em1
  #
  em1
  
  #
  # Specify your username here, which should be of the form username@plusdsl.net
  # You'll also need to set up /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (owned by root, mode 600)
  # to look like this:
  #
  # # client              server  secret                  IP addresses
  # username@plusdsl.net  *       password
  #
  name username@plusdsl.net
  
  #
  # Log messages to a convenient place.
  #
  logfile /var/log/ppp/plusnet-fttc
  
  #
  # Create a /var/run/ppp-plusnet-fttc.pid file with our PID in it.
  #
  linkname plusnet-fttc
  
  #
  # Pass parameter 6 to ip-up and ip-up.local as "plusnet"
  #
  ipparam plusnet
  
  #
  # Debug the connection
  #
  #debug
  
  # ============================================
  # SHOULDN'T NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW HERE
  # ============================================
  
  #
  # Ask the peer for the addresses of some nameservers to use. If you're not
  # running your own nameserver, you may wish to get /etc/ppp/ip-up to use
  # the environment variables DNS1 and DNS2 to set up /etc/resolv.conf
  #
  usepeerdns
  
  #
  # Set up the default route to go through PlusNet
  #
  defaultroute
  
  #
  # If the connection breaks, try to restore it.
  #
  persist
  
  #
  # Don't fork as we're using systemd
  #
  nodetach
  
  #
  # We don't need the remote server to authenticate itself
  #
  noauth
  
  #
  # Turn off transmission protocols we know won't be used
  #
  nobsdcomp
  nodeflate
  
  #
  # Time this thing out if it goes poof
  #
  lcp-echo-failure 20
  lcp-echo-interval 10

• ... and the password goes in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets as usual:

• # You'll need to add a line to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets in order
  # for the PPP daemon to authenticate your PlusNet username and
  # password when connecting.
  #
  # Change "username" to whatever your PlusNet account name is.
  # For instance, if your host is linuxwizard.plus.com, change
  # "username" to "linuxwizard".
  #
  # Your login realm might be something other than "plusdsl.net";
  # long-time customers may have "plus.net" and there may be others.
  # Your documentation from PlusNet should tell you what it is.
  # Change "plusdsl.net" to whatever your login realm is.
  #
  # Change "password" to whatever your password is.
  #
  # Make sure that /etc/ppp/chap-secrets is owned by root and
  # has permissions 0600.
  #
  # client                server  secret                  IP addresses
  username@plusdsl.net    *       password

• Updated getmail to 4.31.0:

Since the Perl 5.16 rebuild landed in Rawhide, I've pushed what I've got so far of my own Perl 5.16 rebuild, which is about 90% done, meaning there are broken dependencies in Rawhide for the top 10% of my Perl stack. I'll be working to fix these over the next week.

Friday 13th July 2012

Fedora Project

• Raised Bug #839815 to get the Miscellanea::RequireRcsKeywords policy added to perl-Perl-Critic-More

Sunday 15th July 2012

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-Class-Load in Rawhide to 0.19 and then to 0.20 since 0.19 had already been released before in April (CPAN RT#78389):

  • The load_class() subroutine now returns the class name on success (CPAN RT#76931)

  • Exceptions and errors from Class::Load no longer contain references to line numbers in Class::Load or Module::Runtime; this applies to exceptions thrown by load_class, load_first_existing_class, and load_optional_class, as well as the error returned by try_load_class

  • Exceptions are now croaked properly so they appear to come from the calling code, not from an internal subroutine; this makes the exceptions look more like the ones thrown by Perl's require (CPAN RT#68663)

Local Packages

Olympic Football Tickets

Bought some tickets for the men's quarter final at the Swamp, taking advantage of the "pay your age" offer for the children. Unfortunately I couldn't get any Category B tickets so had to make do with Category C tickets, up in the north-east corner where we'll probably need binoculars to see what's going on on the pitch. I inadventently managed to select "collection" rather than "delivery" and then got a bit worried when the only listed place for ticket collection was the Stratford Gate box office in London. After a lot of searching I came across a more complete list of box offices so I'll be picking up my tickets from the venue over the weekend.
