FS#1567: [chroot-nspawn] Create mount points if mountpoint exit code is different to zero

David P. — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 03:03:46 +0000

The actual behavior is to create mount points if mountpoint exits with exit status 1, however it may also exit with code 32 and thus creating a real mess:

$ sudo chroot-nspawn
Spawning container megver83 on /var/lib/archbuild/chroot1/megver83
Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup: mount point does not exist.
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio': No such file or directory
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu': No such file or directory
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/devices': No such file or directory  
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/freezer': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/memory': No such file or directory

mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls,net_prio': No such file or directory
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/pids': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd': No such file or directory
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/devices: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/memory: mount point does not exist.
mount: /sys/fs/cgroup/pids: mount point does not exist.

So I created a patch to fix this.

P.S.: although I can git clone the repo with ssh access, whenever I do a push I get:

error: remote unpack failed: unable to create temporary object directory
To ssh://git.hyperbola.info:51100/~git/software/chroot-nspawn.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (unpacker error)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git.hyperbola.info:51100/~git/software/chroot-nspawn.git'

Do I have the permission to write in this repo? If not, I’d like it, as I’m planning to improve this great script

FS#1099: Swiftdove-UXP theme for Icedove-UXP

André Silva — Sun, 15 Jul 2018 22:16:56 +0000

Description:
Historically, Swiftdove was a Thunderbird-based application built on XUL platform around 2007 and abandoned in 2010. It was optimized for several architectures using the following methods such as the Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) and binary code optimization for computers with limited resources.

Since FossaMail may potentially be revived on UXP in the future [0] and Swiftdove contains non-trademarked graphics and logos, we could port Swiftdove to UXP platform as theme for Icedove-UXP.

FS#1098: Swiftweasel-UXP theme for Iceweasel-UXP

André Silva — Sun, 15 Jul 2018 21:55:39 +0000

Description:
Historically, Swiftweasel was a Firefox-based application built on XUL platform around 2007 and abandoned in 2010. It was optimized for several architectures using the following methods such as the Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) and binary code optimization for computers with limited resources.

Since there are users encouraging us develop a Palemoon-based application , and Swiftweasel contains non-trademarked graphics and logos, we could port Swiftweasel to UXP platform as theme for Iceweasel-UXP.

FS#1338: RISC-V (riscv64) porting + multilib support

André Silva — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 23:37:52 +0000

The unfortunate reality is that x86 computers come encumbered with built-in low-level backdoors like the Intel Management Engine , as well as nonfree boot firmware. This means that users can’t gain full control over their computers, even if they install a free operating system such as Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

Hyperbola is working hard to fix these issues and getting closer every day, but for the time being, this is why many current Respects Your Freedom (RYF) offerings are refurbished older devices.

For the future of free computing, we need support architectures that do not come with such malware pre-installed, and RISC-V promises to be a great architecture example for low-power computers, laptops and embedded systems, also as ARM architecture replacement.

Devices like this are the future of computing that Respects Your Freedom and for that reason it’s a high priority for Hyperbola port all packages for the RISC-V architecture (riscv64) with multilib support.

NOTE: RISC-V porting is focused only for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .

FS#1336: POWER (ppc64le) porting

For the future of free computing, we need support architectures that do not come with such malware pre-installed, and the Power9-based Talos II promises to be a great architecture example for workstations and servers environments where Hyperbola is focused since is a fully free long-term support distribution.

Devices like this are the future of computing that Respects Your Freedom and for that reason it’s a high priority for Hyperbola port all packages for the POWER architecture (power64le).

NOTE: POWER porting is focused only for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre .
