-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Did you ever need to store logs or other files in a way that would
-allow it to be used as evidence in court, and needed a way to
-demonstrate without reasonable doubt that the file had not been
-changed since it was created?  Or, did you ever need to document that
-a given document was received at some point in time, like some
-archived document or the answer to an exam, and not changed after it
-was received?  The problem in these settings is to remove the need to
-trust yourself and your computers, while still being able to prove
-that a file is the same as it was at some given time in the past.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A solution to these problems is to have a trusted third party
-&quot;stamp&quot; the document and verify that at some given time the document
-looked a given way.  Such
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notarius&quot;&gt;notarius&lt;/a&gt; service
-have been around for thousands of years, and its digital equivalent is
-called a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_timestamping&quot;&gt;trusted
-timestamping service&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ietf.org/&quot;&gt;The Internet
-Engineering Task Force&lt;/a&gt; standardised how such service could work a
-few years ago as &lt;a href=&quot;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3161&quot;&gt;RFC
-3161&lt;/a&gt;.  The mechanism is simple.  Create a hash of the file in
-question, send it to a trusted third party which add a time stamp to
-the hash and sign the result with its private key, and send back the
-signed hash + timestamp.  Both email, FTP and HTTP can be used to
-request such signature, depending on what is provided by the service
-used. Anyone with the document and the signature can then verify that
-the document matches the signature by creating their own hash and
-checking the signature using the trusted third party public key.
-There are several commercial services around providing such
-timestamping.  A quick search for
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rfc+3161+service&quot;&gt;rfc 3161
-service&lt;/a&gt;&quot; pointed me to at least
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.digistamp.com/technical/how-a-digital-time-stamp-works/&quot;&gt;DigiStamp&lt;/a&gt;,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.quovadisglobal.co.uk/CertificateServices/SigningServices/TimeStamp.aspx&quot;&gt;Quo
-Vadis&lt;/a&gt;,
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.globalsign.com/timestamp-service/&quot;&gt;Global Sign&lt;/a&gt;
-and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.globaltrustfinder.com/TSADefault.aspx&quot;&gt;Global
-Trust Finder&lt;/a&gt;.  The system work as long as the private key of the
-trusted third party is not compromised.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But as far as I can tell, there are very few public trusted
-timestamp services available for everyone.  I&#39;ve been looking for one
-for a while now. But yesterday I found one over at
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pki.dfn.de/zeitstempeldienst/&quot;&gt;Deutches
-Forschungsnetz&lt;/a&gt; mentioned in
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.d-mueller.de/blog/dealing-with-trusted-timestamps-in-php-rfc-3161/&quot;&gt;a
-blog by David Müller&lt;/a&gt;.  I then found a good recipe on how to use
-over at the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rz.uni-greifswald.de/support/dfn-pki-zertifikate/zeitstempeldienst.html&quot;&gt;University
-of Greifswald&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openssl.org/&quot;&gt;The OpenSSL library&lt;/a&gt; contain
-both server and tools to use and set up your own signing service.  See
-the ts(1SSL), tsget(1SSL) manual pages for more details.  The
-following shell script demonstrate how to extract a signed timestamp
-for any file on the disk in a Debian environment:&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;For en stund tilbake spurte jeg Fornyingsdepartementet om hvilke
+juridiske vurderinger rundt patentproblemstillingen som var gjort da
+H.264 ble tatt inn i &lt;a href=&quot;http://standard.difi.no/&quot;&gt;statens
+referansekatalog over standarder&lt;/a&gt;.  Stig Hornnes i FAD tipset meg
+om følgende som står i oppsumeringen til høringen om
+referansekatalogen versjon 2.0, som jeg siden ved hjelp av en
+innsynsforespørsel fikk tak i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.nuug.no/uttalelser/200901-standardkatalog-v2?action=AttachFile&amp;do=get&amp;target=kongelig-resolusjon.pdf&quot;&gt;PDF-utgaven av&lt;/a&gt;
+datert 2009-06-03 (saksnummer 200803291, saksbehandler Henrik
+Linnestad).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Der står det følgende om problemstillingen:&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;strong&gt;4.4 Patentproblematikk&lt;/strong&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;NUUG og Opera ser det som særlig viktig at forslagene knyttet til
+lyd og video baserer seg på de royalty-frie standardene Vorbis, Theora
+og FLAC.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Kommentarene relaterer seg til at enkelte standarder er åpne, men
+inneholder tekniske prosedyrer som det i USA (og noen andre land som
+Japan) er gitt patentrettigheter til. I vårt tilfelle berører dette
+spesielt standardene Mp3 og H.264, selv om Politidirektoratet peker på
+at det muligens kan være tilsvarende problematikk også for Theora og
+Vorbis.  Dette medfører at det i USA kan kreves royalties for bruk av
+tekniske løsninger knyttet til standardene, et krav som også
+håndheves. Patenter kan imidlertid bare hevdes i de landene hvor
+patentet er gitt, så amerikanske patenter gjelder ikke andre steder
+enn USA.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Spesielt for utvikling av fri programvare er patenter
+problematisk. GPL, en &quot;grunnleggende&quot; lisens for distribusjon av fri
+programvare, avviser at programvare kan distribueres under denne
+lisensen hvis det inneholder referanser til patenterte rutiner som
+utløser krav om royalties. Det er imidlertid uproblematisk å
+distribuere fri programvareløsninger under GPL som benytter de
+aktuelle standardene innen eller mellom land som ikke anerkjenner
+patentene. Derfor finner vi også flere implementeringer av Mp3 og
+H.264 som er fri programvare, lisensiert under GPL.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I Norge og EU er patentlovgivningen langt mer restriktiv enn i USA,
+men det er også her mulig å få patentert metoder for løsning av et
+problem som relaterer seg til databehandling. Det er AIF bekjent ikke
+relevante patenter i EU eller Norge hva gjelder H.264 og Mp3, men
+muligheten for at det finnes patenter uten at det er gjort krav om
+royalties eller at det senere vil gis slike patenter kan ikke helt
+avvises.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;AIF mener det er et behov for å gi offentlige virksomheter mulighet
+til å benytte antatt royaltyfrie åpne standarder som et likeverdig
+alternativ eller i tillegg til de markedsledende åpne standardene.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;The argument to the script is the file to timestamp, and the output
-is a base64 encoded version of the signature to STDOUT and details
-about the signature to STDERR.  Note that due to
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=742553&quot;&gt;a bug
-in the tsget script&lt;/a&gt;, you might need to modify the included script
-and remove the last line.  Or just write your own HTTP uploader using
-curl. :) Now you too can prove and verify that files have not been
-changed.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But the Internet need more public trusted timestamp services.
-Perhaps something for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uninett.no/&quot;&gt;Uninett&lt;/a&gt; or
-my work place the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uio.no/&quot;&gt;University of Oslo&lt;/a&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Keeping your DVD collection safe from scratches and curious
-children fingers while still having it available when you want to see a
-movie is not straight forward.  My preferred method at the moment is
-to store a full copy of the ISO on a hard drive, and use VLC, Popcorn
-Hour or other useful players to view the resulting file.  This way the
-subtitles and bonus material are still available and using the ISO is
-just like inserting the original DVD record in the DVD player.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Earlier I used dd for taking security copies, but it do not handle
-DVDs giving read errors (which are quite a few of them).  I&#39;ve also
-tried using
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Ripping_problematic_DVDs_using_dvdbackup_and_genisoimage.html&quot;&gt;dvdbackup
-and genisoimage&lt;/a&gt;, but these days I use the marvellous python library
-and program
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bblank.thinkmo.de/blog/new-software-python-dvdvideo&quot;&gt;python-dvdvideo&lt;/a&gt;
-written by Bastian Blank.  It is
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python-dvdvideo.html&quot;&gt;in Debian
-already&lt;/a&gt; and the binary package name is python3-dvdvideo. Instead
-of trying to read every block from the DVD, it parses the file
-structure and figure out which block on the DVD is actually in used,
-and only read those blocks from the DVD.  This work surprisingly well,
-and I have been able to almost backup my entire DVD collection using
-this method.&lt;/p&gt; So far, python-dvdvideo have failed on between 10 and
-20 DVDs, which is a small fraction of my collection.  The most common
-problem is
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720831&quot;&gt;DVDs
-using UTF-16 instead of UTF-8 characters&lt;/a&gt;, which according to
-Bastian is against the DVD specification (and seem to cause some
-players to fail too).  A rarer problem is what seem to be inconsistent
-DVD structures, as the python library
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=723079&quot;&gt;claim
-there is a overlap between objects&lt;/a&gt;.  An equally rare problem claim
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=741878&quot;&gt;some
-value is out of range&lt;/a&gt;.  No idea what is going on there.  I wish I
-knew enough about the DVD format to fix these, to ensure my movie
-collection will stay with me in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So, if you need to keep your DVDs safe, back them up using
-python-dvdvideo. :)&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Det offentlige Norge har mye kunnskap og informasjon.  Men hvordan
-kan en få tilgang til den på en enkel måte?  Takket være et lite
-knippe lover og tilhørende forskrifter, blant annet
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2006-05-19-16&quot;&gt;offentlighetsloven&lt;/a&gt;,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2003-05-09-31&quot;&gt;miljøinformasjonsloven&lt;/a&gt;
-og
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1967-02-10/&quot;&gt;forvaltningsloven&lt;/a&gt;
-har en rett til å spørre det offentlige og få svar.  Men det finnes
-intet offentlig arkiv over hva andre har spurt om, og dermed risikerer en
-å måtte forstyrre myndighetene gang på gang for å få tak i samme
-informasjonen på nytt.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysociety.org/&quot;&gt;Britiske
-mySociety&lt;/a&gt; har laget tjenesten
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/&quot;&gt;WhatDoTheyKnow&lt;/a&gt; som gjør
-noe med dette.  I Storbritannia blir WhatdoTheyKnow brukt i
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysociety.org/2011/07/01/whatdotheyknows-share-of-central-government-foi-requests-q2-2011/&quot;&gt;ca
-15% av alle innsynsforespørsler mot sentraladministrasjonen&lt;/a&gt;.
-Prosjektet heter &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.alaveteli.org/&quot;&gt;Alaveteli&lt;/A&gt;, og
-er takk i bruk en rekke steder etter at løsningen ble generalisert og
-gjort mulig å oversette.  Den hjelper borgerne med å be om innsyn,
-rådgir ved purringer og klager og lar alle se hvilke henvendelser som
-er sendt til det offentlige og hvilke svar som er kommet inn, i et
-søkpart arkiv.  Her i Norge holder vi i foreningen NUUG på å få opp en
-norsk utgave av Alaveteli, og her trenger vi din hjelp med
-oversettelsen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Så langt er 76 % av Alaveteli oversatt til norsk bokmål, men vi
-skulle gjerne vært oppe i 100 % før lansering.  Oversettelsen gjøres
-på &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/alaveteli/&quot;&gt;Transifex,
-der enhver som registrerer seg&lt;/a&gt; og ber om tilgang til
-bokmålsoversettelsen får bidra.  Vi har satt opp en test av tjenesten
-(som ikke sender epost til det offentlige, kun til oss som holder på å
-sette opp tjenesten) på maskinen
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://alaveteli-dev.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;alaveteli-dev.nuug.no&lt;/a&gt;, der
-en kan se hvordan de oversatte meldingen blir seende ut på nettsiden.
-Når tjenesten lanseres vil den hete
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mimesbrønn.no/&quot;&gt;Mimes brønn&lt;/a&gt;, etter
-visdomskilden som Odin måtte gi øyet sitt for å få drikke i.  Den
-nettsiden er er ennå ikke klar til bruk.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hvis noen vil oversette til nynorsk også, så skal vi finne ut
-hvordan vi lager en flerspråklig tjeneste.  Men i første omgang er
-fokus på bokmålsoversettelsen, der vi selv har nok peiling til å ha
-fått oversatt 76%, men trenger hjelp for å komme helt i mål. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Det ser dermed ikke ut til at de har vurdert patentspørsmålet i
+sammenheng med opphavsrettsvilkår slik de er formulert for f.eks.
+Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid og Sorenson-verktøyene,
+der det kreves brukstillatelse for patenter som ikke er gyldige i
+Norge for å bruke disse verktøyene til annet en personlig og ikke
+kommersiell aktivitet når det gjelder H.264-video.  Jeg må nok lete
+videre etter svar på det spørsmålet.&lt;/p&gt;

-project&lt;/a&gt; is working on providing the software and hardware for
-making it easy for non-technical people to host their data and
-communication at home, and being able to communicate with their
-friends and family encrypted and away from prying eyes.  It has been
-going on for a while, and is slowly progressing towards a new test
-release (0.2).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;And what day could be better than the Pi day to announce that the
-new version will provide &quot;hard drive&quot; / SD card / USB stick images for
-Dreamplug, Raspberry Pi and VirtualBox (or any other virtualization
-system), and can also be installed using a Debian installer preseed
-file.  The Debian based Freedombox is now based on Debian Jessie,
-where most of the needed packages used are already present.  Only one,
-the freedombox-setup package, is missing.  To try to build your own
-boot image to test the current status, fetch the freedom-maker scripts
-and build using
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/vmdebootstrap&quot;&gt;vmdebootstrap&lt;/a&gt;
-with a user with sudo access to become root:
-
-&lt;pre&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The right to communicate with your friends and family in private,
+without anyone snooping, is a right every citicen have in a liberal
+democracy.  But this right is under serious attack these days.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;A while back it occurred to me that one way to make the dragnet
+surveillance conducted by NSA, GCHQ, FRA and others (and confirmed by
+the whisleblower Snowden) more expensive for Internet email,
+is to deliver all email using SMTP via Tor.  Such SMTP option would be
+a nice addition to the FreedomBox project if we could send email
+between FreedomBox machines without leaking metadata about the emails
+to the people peeking on the wire.  I
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2014-October/006493.html&quot;&gt;proposed
+this on the FreedomBox project mailing list in October&lt;/a&gt; and got a
+lot of useful feedback and suggestions.  It also became obvious to me
+that this was not a novel idea, as the same idea was tested and
+documented by Johannes Berg as early as 2006, and both
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/pagekite/Mailpile/wiki/SMTorP&quot;&gt;the
+Mailpile&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://dee.su/cables&quot;&gt;the Cables&lt;/a&gt; systems
+propose a similar method / protocol to pass emails between users.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To implement such system one need to set up a Tor hidden service
+providing the SMTP protocol on port 25, and use email addresses
+looking like username@hidden-service-name.onion.  With such addresses
+the connections to port 25 on hidden-service-name.onion using Tor will
+go to the correct SMTP server.  To do this, one need to configure the
+Tor daemon to provide the hidden service and the mail server to accept
+emails for this .onion domain.  To learn more about Exim configuration
+in Debian and test the design provided by Johannes Berg in his FAQ, I
+set out yesterday to create a Debian package for making it trivial to
+set up such SMTP over Tor service based on Debian.  Getting it to work
+were fairly easy, and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/exim4-smtorp&quot;&gt;the
+source code for the Debian package&lt;/a&gt; is available from github.  I
+plan to move it into Debian if further testing prove this to be a
+useful approach.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you want to test this, set up a blank Debian machine without any
+mail system installed (or run &lt;tt&gt;apt-get purge exim4-config&lt;/tt&gt; to
+get rid of exim4).  Install tor, clone the git repository mentioned
+above, build the deb and install it on the machine.  Next, run
+&lt;tt&gt;/usr/lib/exim4-smtorp/setup-exim-hidden-service&lt;/tt&gt; and follow
+the instructions to get the service up and running.  Restart tor and
+exim when it is done, and test mail delivery using swaks like
+this:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Root access is needed to run debootstrap and mount loopback
-devices.  See the README for more details on the build. If you do not
-want all three images, trim the make line.  But note that thanks to &lt;a
-href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/741407&quot;&gt;a race condition in
-vmdebootstrap&lt;/a&gt;, the build might fail without the patch to the
-kpartx call.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you instead want to install using a Debian CD and the preseed
-method, boot a Debian Wheezy ISO and use this boot argument to load
-the preseed values:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;pre&gt;
-url=&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat&quot;&gt;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat&lt;/a&gt;
-&lt;/pre&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+torsocks swaks --server dutlqrrmjhtfa3vp.onion \
+  --to fbx@dutlqrrmjhtfa3vp.onion
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;But note that due to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/740673&quot;&gt;a
-recently introduced bug in apt in Jessie&lt;/a&gt;, the installer will
-currently hang while setting up APT sources.  Killing the
-&#39;&lt;tt&gt;apt-cdrom ident&lt;/tt&gt;&#39; process when it hang a few times during the
-installation will get the installation going.  This affect all
-installations in Jessie, and I expect it will be fixed soon.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-Give it a go and let us know how it goes on the mailing list, and help
-us get the new release published. :) Please join us on
-&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox&quot;&gt;IRC (#freedombox on
-irc.debian.org)&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss&quot;&gt;the
-mailing list&lt;/a&gt; if you want to help make this vision come true.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This will test the SMTP delivery using tor.  Replace the email
+address with your own address to test your server. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The setup procedure is still to complex, and I hope it can be made
+easier and more automatic.  Especially the tor setup need more work.
+Also, the package include a tor-smtp tool written in C, but its task
+should probably be rewritten in some script language to make the deb
+architecture independent.  It would probably also make the code easier
+to review.  The tor-smtp tool currently need to listen on a socket for
+exim to talk to it and is started using xinetd.  It would be better if
+no daemon and no socket is needed.  I suspect it is possible to get
+exim to run a command line tool for delivery instead of talking to a
+socket, and hope to figure out how in a future version of this
+system.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Until I wipe my test machine, I can be reached using the
+&lt;tt&gt;fbx@dutlqrrmjhtfa3vp.onion&lt;/tt&gt; mail address, deliverable over
+SMTorP. :)&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;On larger sites, it is useful to use a dedicated storage server for
-storing user home directories and data.  The design for handling this
-in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is
-to update the automount rules in LDAP and let the automount daemon on
-the clients take care of the rest.  I was reminded about the need to
-document this better when one of the customers of
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slxdrift.no/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux Drift AS&lt;/a&gt;, where I am
-on the board of directors, asked about how to do this.  The steps to
-get this working are the following:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Add new storage server in DNS.  I use nas-server.intern as the
-example host here.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Add automoun LDAP information about this server in LDAP, to allow
-all clients to automatically mount it on reqeust.&lt;/li&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I am happy to report that I on behalf of the Debian Edu team just
+sent out
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2014/10/msg00000.html&quot;&gt;this
+announcement&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;Add the relevant entries in tjener.intern:/etc/fstab, because
-tjener.intern do not use automount to avoid mounting loops.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;pre&gt;
+The Debian Edu Team is pleased to announce the release of Debian Edu
+Jessie 8.0+edu0~alpha0
+
+Debian Edu is a complete operating system for schools. Through its
+various installation profiles you can install servers, workstations
+and laptops which will work together on the school network. With
+Debian Edu, the teachers themselves or their technical support can
+roll out a complete multi-user multi-machine study environment within
+hours or a few days. Debian Edu comes with hundreds of applications
+pre-installed, but you can always add more packages from Debian.
+
+For those who want to give Debian Edu Jessie a try, download and
+installation instructions are available, including detailed
+instructions in the manual[1] explaining the first steps, such as
+setting up a network or adding users. Please note that the password
+for the user your prompted for during installation must have a length
+of at least 5 characters!

+
+Would you like to give your school&#39;s computer a longer life? Are you
+tired of sneaker administration, running from computer to computer
+reinstalling the operating system? Would you like to administrate all
+the computers in your school using only a couple of hours every week?
+Check out Debian Edu Jessie!
+
+Skolelinux is used by at least two hundred schools all over the world,
+mostly in Germany and Norway.
+
+About Debian Edu and Skolelinux
+===============================
+
+Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux[2], is a Linux distribution based
+on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
+configured school network. Immediately after installation a school
+server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
+waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
+Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
+initial installation of the main server from CD or USB stick all other
+machines can be installed via the network.  The provided school server
+provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service,
+centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other
+services.  The desktop contains more than 60 educational software
+packages[3] and more are available from the Debian archive, and
+schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE, Xfce and MATE desktop
+environment.

+   Will be fixed when Debian bug #766960 is fixed in Jessie.

 
 

-&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+See the status page[8] for the complete list.

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;DNS entries are added in GOsa², and not described here.  Follow the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/GettingStarted&quot;&gt;instructions
-in the manual&lt;/a&gt; (Machine Management with GOsa² in section Getting
-started).&lt;/p&gt;
+ [8] &amp;lt;URL: &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Jessie&quot;&gt;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Jessie&lt;/a&gt; &amp;gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Ensure that the NFS export points on the server are exported to the
-relevant subnets or machines:&lt;/p&gt;
+How to report bugs
+------------------

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-root@tjener:~# showmount -e nas-server
-Export list for nas-server:
-/storage         10.0.0.0/8
-root@tjener:~#
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&amp;lt;URL: &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/ReportBugs&quot;&gt;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/ReportBugs&lt;/a&gt; &amp;gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Here everything on the backbone network is granted access to the
-/storage export.  With NFSv3 it is slightly better to limit it to
-netgroup membership or single IP addresses to have some limits on the
-NFS access.&lt;/p&gt;
+About Debian
+============

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;The next step is to update LDAP.  This can not be done using GOsa²,
-because it lack a module for automount.  Instead, use ldapvi and add
-the required LDAP objects using an editor.&lt;/p&gt;
+The Debian Project was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock to be a truly
+free community project. Since then the project has grown to be one of
+the largest and most influential open source projects. Thousands of
+volunteers from all over the world work together to create and
+maintain Debian software. Available in 70 languages, and supporting a
+huge range of computer types, Debian calls itself the universal
+operating system.

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-ldapvi --ldap-conf -ZD &#39;(cn=admin)&#39; -b ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When the editor show up, add the following LDAP objects at the
-bottom of the document.  The &quot;/&amp;&quot; part in the last LDAP object is a
-wild card matching everything the nas-server exports, removing the
-need to list individual mount points in LDAP.&lt;/p&gt;
+Contact Information
+For further information, please visit the Debian web pages[9] or send
+mail to press@debian.org.

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-add cn=nas-server,ou=auto.skole,ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
-objectClass: automount
-cn: nas-server
-automountInformation: -fstype=autofs --timeout=60 ldap:ou=auto.nas-server,ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
-
-add ou=auto.nas-server,ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
-objectClass: top
-objectClass: automountMap
-ou: auto.nas-server
-
-add cn=/,ou=auto.nas-server,ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no

-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The last step to remember is to mount the relevant mount points in
-tjener.intern by adding them to /etc/fstab, creating the mount
-directories using mkdir and running &quot;mount -a&quot; to mount them.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When this is done, your users should be able to access the files on
-the storage server directly by just visiting the
-/tjener/nas-server/storage/ directory using any application on any
-workstation, LTSP client or LTSP server.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <title>Hvordan bør RFC 822-formattert epost lagres i en NOARK5-database?</title>
-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_b_r_RFC_822_formattert_epost_lagres_i_en_NOARK5_database_.html</link>

-                <pubDate>Fri, 7 Mar 2014 15:20:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;For noen uker siden ble NXCs fri programvarelisenserte
-NOARK5-løsning
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20140211-noark/&quot;&gt;presentert hos
-NUUG&lt;/a&gt; (video
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCb_dNS3MHQ&quot;&gt;på youtube
-foreløbig&lt;/a&gt;), og det fikk meg til å titte litt mer på NOARK5,
-standarden for arkivhåndtering i det offentlige Norge.  Jeg lurer på
-om denne kjernen kan være nyttig i et par av mine prosjekter, og for ett
-av dem er det mest aktuelt å lagre epost.  Jeg klarte ikke finne noen
-anbefaling om hvordan RFC 822-formattert epost (aka Internett-epost)
-burde lagres i NOARK5, selv om jeg vet at noen arkiver tar
-PDF-utskrift av eposten med sitt epostprogram og så arkiverer PDF-en
-(eller enda værre, tar papirutskrift og lagrer bildet av eposten som
-PDF i arkivet).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er ikke så mange formater som er akseptert av riksarkivet til
-langtidsoppbevaring av offentlige arkiver, og PDF og XML er de mest
-aktuelle i så måte.  Det slo meg at det måtte da finnes en eller annen
-egnet XML-representasjon og at det kanskje var enighet om hvilken som
-burde brukes, så jeg tok mot til meg og spurte
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://samdok.com/&quot;&gt;SAMDOK&lt;/a&gt;, en gruppe tilknyttet
-arkivverket som ser ut til å jobbe med NOARK-samhandling, om de hadde
-noen anbefalinger:
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Hei.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Usikker på om dette er riktig forum å ta opp mitt spørsmål, men jeg
-lurer på om det er definert en anbefaling om hvordan RFC
-822-formatterte epost (aka vanlig Internet-epost) bør lages håndteres
-i NOARK5, slik at en bevarer all informasjon i eposten
-(f.eks. Received-linjer).  Finnes det en anbefalt XML-mapping ala den
-som beskrives på
-&amp;lt;URL: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=32074&quot;&gt;https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=32074&lt;/a&gt; &amp;gt;?  Mitt
-mål er at det skal være mulig å lagre eposten i en NOARK5-kjerne og
-kunne få ut en identisk formattert kopi av opprinnelig epost ved
-behov.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Postmottaker hos SAMDOK mente spørsmålet heller burde stilles
-direkte til riksarkivet, og jeg fikk i dag svar derfra formulert av
-seniorrådgiver Geir Ivar Tungesvik:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Riksarkivet har ingen anbefalinger når det gjelder konvertering fra
-e-post til XML.  Det står arkivskaper fritt å eventuelt definere/bruke
-eget format.  Inklusive da - som det spørres om - et format der det er
-mulig å re-etablere e-post format ut fra XML-en.  XML (e-post)
-dokumenter må være referert i arkivstrukturen, og det må vedlegges et
-gyldig XML skjema (.xsd) for XML-filene. Arkivskaper står altså fritt
-til å gjøre hva de vil, bare det dokumenteres og det kan dannes et
-utrekk ved avlevering til depot.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;De obligatoriske kravene i Noark 5 standarden må altså oppfylles -
-etter dialog med Riksarkivet i forbindelse med godkjenning. For
-offentlige arkiv er det særlig viktig med filene loependeJournal.xml
-og offentligJournal.xml. Private arkiv som vil forholde seg til Noark
-5 standarden er selvsagt frie til å bruke det som er relevant for dem
-av obligatoriske krav.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det ser dermed ut for meg som om det er et lite behov for å
-standardisere XML-lagring av RFC-822-formatterte meldinger.  Noen som
-vet om god spesifikasjon i så måte?  I tillegg til den omtalt over,
-har jeg kommet over flere aktuelle beskrivelser (søk på &quot;rfc 822
-xml&quot;, så finner du aktuelle alternativer).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openhealth.org/xmtp/&quot;&gt;XML MIME Transformation
-protocol (XMTP)&lt;/a&gt; fra OpenHealth, sist oppdatert 2001.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-klyne-message-rfc822-xml-03&quot;&gt;An
-XML format for mail and other messages&lt;/a&gt; utkast fra IETF datert
-2001.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=32074&quot;&gt;xMail:
-E-mail as XML&lt;/a&gt; en artikkel fra 2003 som beskriver python-modulen
-rfc822 som gir ut XML-representasjon av en RFC 822-formattert epost.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Finnes det andre og bedre spesifikasjoner for slik lagring?  Send
-meg en epost hvis du har innspill.&lt;/p&gt;

+Nordic&lt;/a&gt;, a great conference and workshop for makers in Norway and
+the surrounding countries.  I had volunteered on behalf of the
+Norwegian Unix Users Group (NUUG) to video record the talks, and we
+had a great and exhausting time recording the entire day, two days in
+a row.  There were only two of us, Hans-Petter and me, and we used the
+regular video equipment for NUUG, with a
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/&quot;&gt;dvswitch&lt;/a&gt;, a
+camera and a VGA to DV convert box, and mixed video and slides
+live.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Hans-Petter did the post-processing, consisting of uploading the
+around 180 GiB of raw video to Youtube, and the result is
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/user/MakerConNordic/&quot;&gt;now becoming
+public&lt;/a&gt; on the MakerConNordic account.  The videos have the license
+NUUG always use on our recordings, which is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/no/&quot;&gt;Creative
+Commons Navngivelse-Del på samme vilkår 3.0 Norge&lt;/a&gt;.  Many great
+talks available.  Check it out! :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;If you ever had to moderate a mailman list, like the ones on
+alioth.debian.org, you know the web interface is fairly slow to
+operate.  First you visit one web page, enter the moderation password
+and get a new page shown with a list of all the messages to moderate
+and various options for each email address.  This take a while for
+every list you moderate, and you need to do it regularly to do a good
+job as a list moderator.  But there is a quick alternative,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://heim.ifi.uio.no/kjetilho/hacks/#listadmin&quot;&gt;the
+listadmin program&lt;/a&gt;.  It allow you to check lists for new messages
+to moderate in a fraction of a second.  Here is a test run on two
+lists I recently took over:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% time listadmin xiph
+fetching data for pkg-xiph-commits@lists.alioth.debian.org ... nothing in queue
+fetching data for pkg-xiph-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org ... nothing in queue
+
+real    0m1.709s

+&lt;p&gt;In 1.7 seconds I had checked two mailing lists and confirmed that
+there are no message in the moderation queue.  Every morning I
+currently moderate 68 mailman lists, and it normally take around two
+minutes.  When I took over the two pkg-xiph lists above a few days
+ago, there were 400 emails waiting in the moderator queue.  It took me
+less than 15 minutes to process them all using the listadmin
+program.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;p&gt;If you want to moderate a subset of the lists you take care of, you
+can provide an argument to the listadmin script like I do in the
+initial screen dump (the xiph argument).  Using an argument, only
+lists matching the argument string will be processed.  This make it
+quick to accept messages if you notice the moderation request in your
+email.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;When PXE installing laptops with Debian, I often run into the
+problem that the WiFi card require some firmware to work properly.
+And it has been a pain to fix this using preseeding in Debian.
+Normally something more is needed.  But thanks to
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://packages.qa.debian.org/i/isenkram.html&quot;&gt;my isenkram
+package&lt;/a&gt; and its recent tasksel extension, it has now become easy
+to do this using simple preseeding.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The isenkram-cli package provide tasksel tasks which will install
+firmware for the hardware found in the machine (actually, requested by
+the kernel modules for the hardware).  (It can also install user space
+programs supporting the hardware detected, but that is not the focus
+of this story.)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To get this working in the default installation, two preeseding
+values are needed.  First, the isenkram-cli package must be installed
+into the target chroot (aka the hard drive) before tasksel is executed
+in the pkgsel step of the debian-installer system.  This is done by
+preseeding the base-installer/includes debconf value to include the
+isenkram-cli package.  The package name is next passed to debootstrap
+for installation.  With the isenkram-cli package in place, tasksel
+will automatically use the isenkram tasks to detect hardware specific
+packages for the machine being installed and install them, because
+isenkram-cli contain tasksel tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Second, one need to enable the non-free APT repository, because
+most firmware unfortunately is non-free.  This is done by preseeding
+the apt-mirror-setup step.  This is unfortunate, but for a lot of
+hardware it is the only option in Debian.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The end result is two lines needed in your preseeding file to get
+firmware installed automatically by the installer:&lt;/p&gt;

-aftenposten.no&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The current version of isenkram-cli in testing/jessie will install
+both firmware and user space packages when using this method.  It also
+do not work well, so use version 0.15 or later.  Installing both
+firmware and user space packages might give you a bit more than you
+want, so I decided to split the tasksel task in two, one for firmware
+and one for user space programs.  The firmware task is enabled by
+default, while the one for user space programs is not.  This split is
+implemented in the package currently in unstable.&lt;/p&gt;

-aftenposten.no&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;So, I bet you are wondering, how can this work.  First and
+foremost, it work because tasksel is modular, and driven by whatever
+files it find in /usr/lib/tasksel/ and /usr/share/tasksel/.  So the
+isenkram-cli package place two files for tasksel to find.  First there
+is the task description file (/usr/share/tasksel/descs/isenkram.desc):&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Many years ago, I wrote a GPL licensed version of the netgroup and
-innetgr tools, because I needed them in
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;.  I called the project
-ng-utils, and it has served me well.  I placed the project under the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hungry.com/&quot;&gt;Hungry Programmer&lt;/a&gt; umbrella, and it was maintained in our CVS
-repository.  But many years ago, the CVS repository was dropped (lost,
-not migrated to new hardware, not sure), and the project have lacked a
-proper home since then.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Last summer, I had a look at the package and made a new release
-fixing a irritating crash bug, but was unable to store the changes in
-a proper source control system.  I applied for a project on
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Alioth&lt;/a&gt;, but did not have time
-to follow up on it.  Until today. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;After many hours of cleaning and migration, the ng-utils project
-now have a new home, and a git repository with the highlight of the
-history of the project.  I published all release tarballs and imported
-them into the git repository.  As the project is really stable and not
-expected to gain new features any time soon, I decided to make a new
-release and call it 1.0.  Visit the new project home on
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/&quot;&gt;https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/&lt;/a&gt;
-if you want to check it out.  The new version is also uploaded into
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/ng-utils.html&quot;&gt;Debian Unstable&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today I came across an unexpected Ubuntu boot screen.  Above the
+bread shelf on the ICA shop at Storo in Oslo, the grub menu of Ubuntu
+with Linux kernel 3.2.0-23 (ie probably version 12.04 LTS) was stuck
+on a screen normally showing the bread types and prizes:&lt;/p&gt;

+
+&lt;p&gt;If it had booted as it was supposed to, I would never had known
+about this hidden Linux installation.  It is interesting what

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago I decided to try to help the Hurd people to get
-their changes into sysvinit, to allow them to use the normal sysvinit
-boot system instead of their old one.  This follow up on the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://teythoon.cryptobitch.de//categories/gsoc.html&quot;&gt;great
-Google Summer of Code work&lt;/a&gt; done last summer by Justus Winter to
-get Debian on Hurd working more like Debian on Linux.  To get started,
-I downloaded a prebuilt hard disk image from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz&quot;&gt;http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz&lt;/a&gt;,
-and started it using virt-manager.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The first think I had to do after logging in (root without any
-password) was to get the network operational.  I followed
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install&quot;&gt;the
-instructions on the Debian GNU/Hurd ports page&lt;/a&gt; and ran these
-commands as root to get the machine to accept a IP address from the
-kvm internal DHCP server:&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Sat, 4 Oct 2014 08:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/&quot;&gt;lsdvd project&lt;/a&gt;
+got a new set of developers a few weeks ago, after the original
+developer decided to step down and pass the project to fresh blood.
+This project is now maintained by Petter Reinholdtsen and Steve
+Dibb.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I just wrapped up
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/mailman/message/32896061/&quot;&gt;a
+new lsdvd release&lt;/a&gt;, available in git or from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/projects/lsdvd/files/lsdvd/&quot;&gt;the
+download page&lt;/a&gt;.  This is the changelog dated 2014-10-03 for version
+0.17.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-settrans -fgap /dev/netdde /hurd/netdde
-kill $(ps -ef|awk &#39;/[p]finet/ { print $2}&#39;)
-kill $(ps -ef|awk &#39;/[d]evnode/ { print $2}&#39;)
-dhclient /dev/eth0
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;After this, the machine had internet connectivity, and I could
-upgrade it and install the sysvinit packages from experimental and
-enable it as the default boot system in Hurd.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But before I did that, I set a password on the root user, as ssh is
-running on the machine it for ssh login to work a password need to be
-set.  Also, note that a bug somewhere in openssh on Hurd block
-compression from working.  Remember to turn that off on the client
-side.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Run these commands as root to upgrade and test the new sysvinit
-stuff:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-cat &gt; /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list &amp;lt;&amp;lt;EOF
-deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ experimental main
-EOF
-apt-get update
-apt-get dist-upgrade
-apt-get install -t experimental initscripts sysv-rc sysvinit \
-    sysvinit-core sysvinit-utils
-update-alternatives --config runsystem
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;To reboot after switching boot system, you have to use
-&lt;tt&gt;reboot-hurd&lt;/tt&gt; instead of just &lt;tt&gt;reboot&lt;/tt&gt;, as there is not
-yet a sysvinit process able to receive the signals from the normal
-&#39;reboot&#39; command.  After switching to sysvinit as the boot system,
-upgrading every package and rebooting, the network come up with DHCP
-after boot as it should, and the settrans/pkill hack mentioned at the
-start is no longer needed.  But for some strange reason, there are no
-longer any login prompt in the virtual console, so I logged in using
-ssh instead.
-
-&lt;p&gt;Note that there are some race conditions in Hurd making the boot
-fail some times.  No idea what the cause is, but hope the Hurd porters
-figure it out.  At least Justus said on IRC (#debian-hurd on
-irc.debian.org) that they are aware of the problem.  A way to reduce
-the impact is to upgrade to the Hurd packages built by Justus by
-adding this repository to the machine:&lt;/p&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Ignore &#39;phantom&#39; audio, subtitle tracks&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Check for garbage in the program chains, which indicate that a track is
+   non-existant, to work around additional copy protection&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Fix displaying content type for audio tracks, subtitles&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Fix pallete display of first entry&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Fix include orders&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Ignore read errors in titles that would not be displayed anyway&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Fix the chapter count&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Make sure the array size and the array limit used when initialising
+   the palette size is the same.&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Fix array printing.&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Correct subsecond calculations.&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Add sector information to the output format.&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Clean up code to be closer to ANSI C and compile without warnings
+   with more GCC compiler warnings.&lt;/li&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-cat &gt; /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hurd-ci.list &amp;lt;&amp;lt;EOF
-deb http://darnassus.sceen.net/~teythoon/hurd-ci/ sid main
-EOF
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;At the moment the prebuilt virtual machine get some packages from
-http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian, because some of the packages in
-unstable do not yet include the required patches that are lingering in
-BTS.  This is the completely list of &quot;unofficial&quot; packages installed:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This change bring together patches for lsdvd in use in various
+Linux and Unix distributions, as well as patches submitted to the
+project the last nine years.  Please check it out. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+project&lt;/a&gt; provide a Linux solution for schools, including a
+powerful desktop with education software, a central server providing
+web pages, user database, user home directories, central login and PXE
+boot of both  clients without disk and the installation to install Debian
+Edu on machines with disk (and a few other services perhaps to small
+to mention here).  We in the Debian Edu team are currently working on
+the Jessie based version, trying to get everything in shape before the
+freeze, to avoid having to maintain our own package repository in the
+future.  The
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Jessie&quot;&gt;current
+status&lt;/a&gt; can be seen on the Debian wiki, and there is still heaps of
+work left.  Some fatal problems block testing, breaking the installer,
+but it is possible to work around these to get anyway.  Here is a
+recipe on how to get the installation limping along.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;First, download the test ISO via
+&lt;a href=&quot;ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso&quot;&gt;ftp&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://ftp.skolelinux.no/cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso&quot;&gt;http&lt;/a&gt;
+or rsync (use
+ftp.skolelinux.org::cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso).
+The ISO build was broken on Tuesday, so we do not get a new ISO every
+12 hours or so, but thankfully the ISO we already got we are able to
+install with some tweaking.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When you get to the Debian Edu profile question, go to tty2
+(use Alt-Ctrl-F2), run&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;

-# aptitude search &#39;?narrow(?version(CURRENT),?origin(Debian Ports))&#39;
-i   emacs                   - GNU Emacs editor (metapackage)
-i   gdb                     - GNU Debugger
-i   hurd-recommended        - Miscellaneous translators

-i A xserver-xorg-input-all  - X.Org X server -- input driver metapackage
-#
+nano /usr/bin/edu-eatmydata-install

 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;All in all, testing hurd has been an interesting experience. :)
-X.org did not work out of the box and I never took the time to follow
-the porters instructions to fix it.  This time I was interested in the
-command line stuff.&lt;p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;and add &#39;exit 0&#39; as the second line, disabling the eatmydata
+optimization.  Return to the installation, select the profile you want
+and continue.  Without this change, exim4-config will fail to install
+due to a known bug in eatmydata.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When you get the grub question at the end, answer /dev/sda (or if
+this do not work, figure out what your correct value would be.  All my
+test machines need /dev/sda, so I have no advice if it do not fit
+your need.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you installed a profile including a graphical desktop, log in as
+root after the initial boot from hard drive, and install the
+education-desktop-XXX metapackage.  XXX can be kde, gnome, lxde, xfce
+or mate.  If you want several desktop options, install more than one
+metapackage.  Once this is done, reboot and you should have a working
+graphical login screen.  This workaround should no longer be needed
+once the education-tasks package version 1.801 enter testing in two
+days.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I believe the ISO build will start working on two days when the new
+tasksel package enter testing and Steve McIntyre get a chance to
+update the debian-cd git repository.  The eatmydata, grub and desktop
+issues are already fixed in unstable and testing, and should show up
+on the ISO as soon as the ISO build start working again.  Well the
+eatmydata optimization is really just disabled.  The proper fix
+require an upload by the eatmydata maintainer applying the patch
+provided in bug &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/702711&quot;&gt;#702711&lt;/a&gt;.
+The rest have proper fixes in unstable.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I hope this get you going with the installation testing, as we are
+quickly running out of time trying to get our Jessie based
+installation ready before the distribution freeze in a month.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <title>A fist full of non-anonymous Bitcoins</title>
-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_fist_full_of_non_anonymous_Bitcoins.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_fist_full_of_non_anonymous_Bitcoins.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:10:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Bitcoin is a incredible use of peer to peer communication and
-encryption, allowing direct and immediate money transfer without any
-central control.  It is sometimes claimed to be ideal for illegal
-activity, which I believe is quite a long way from the truth.  At least
-I would not conduct illegal money transfers using a system where the
-details of every transaction are kept forever.  This point is
-investigated in
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.usenix.org/publications/login&quot;&gt;USENIX ;login:&lt;/a&gt;
-from December 2013, in the article
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/03_meiklejohn-online.pdf&quot;&gt;A
-Fistful of Bitcoins - Characterizing Payments Among Men with No
-Names&lt;/a&gt;&quot; by Sarah Meiklejohn, Marjori Pomarole,Grant Jordan, Kirill
-Levchenko, Damon McCoy, Geoffrey M. Voelker, and Stefan Savage.  They
-analyse the transaction log in the Bitcoin system, using it to find
-addresses belong to individuals and organisations and follow the flow
-of money from both Bitcoin theft and trades on Silk Road to where the
-money end up.  This is how they wrap up their article:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;&quot;To demonstrate the usefulness of this type of analysis, we turned
-our attention to criminal activity. In the Bitcoin economy, criminal
-activity can appear in a number of forms, such as dealing drugs on
-Silk Road or simply stealing someone else’s bitcoins. We followed the
-flow of bitcoins out of Silk Road (in particular, from one notorious
-address) and from a number of highly publicized thefts to see whether
-we could track the bitcoins to known services. Although some of the
-thieves attempted to use sophisticated mixing techniques (or possibly
-mix services) to obscure the flow of bitcoins, for the most part
-tracking the bitcoins was quite straightforward, and we ultimately saw
-large quantities of bitcoins flow to a variety of exchanges directly
-from the point of theft (or the withdrawal from Silk Road).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;As acknowledged above, following stolen bitcoins to the point at
-which they are deposited into an exchange does not in itself identify
-the thief; however, it does enable further de-anonymization in the
-case in which certain agencies can determine (through, for example,
-subpoena power) the real-world owner of the account into which the
-stolen bitcoins were deposited.  Because such exchanges seem to serve
-as chokepoints into and out of the Bitcoin economy (i.e., there are
-few alternative ways to cash out), we conclude that using Bitcoin for
-money laundering or other illicit purposes does not (at least at
-present) seem to be particularly attractive.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;These researches are not the first to analyse the Bitcoin
-transaction log.  The 2011 paper
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524&quot;&gt;An Analysis of Anonymity in
-the Bitcoin System&lt;/A&gt;&quot; by Fergal Reid and Martin Harrigan is
-summarized like this:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&quot;Anonymity in Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer electronic currency system, is a
-complicated issue. Within the system, users are identified by
-public-keys only. An attacker wishing to de-anonymize its users will
-attempt to construct the one-to-many mapping between users and
-public-keys and associate information external to the system with the
-users. Bitcoin tries to prevent this attack by storing the mapping of
-a user to his or her public-keys on that user&#39;s node only and by
-allowing each user to generate as many public-keys as required. In
-this chapter we consider the topological structure of two networks
-derived from Bitcoin&#39;s public transaction history. We show that the
-two networks have a non-trivial topological structure, provide
-complementary views of the Bitcoin system and have implications for
-anonymity. We combine these structures with external information and
-techniques such as context discovery and flow analysis to investigate
-an alleged theft of Bitcoins, which, at the time of the theft, had a
-market value of approximately half a million U.S. dollars.&quot;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I hope these references can help kill the urban myth that Bitcoin
-is anonymous.  It isn&#39;t really a good fit for illegal activites.  Use
-cash if you need to stay anonymous, at least until regular DNA
-sampling of notes and coins become the norm. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
-activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
-&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&amp;label=PetterReinholdtsenBlog&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/&quot;&gt;lsdvd tool&lt;/a&gt;
+to handle my fairly large DVD collection.  It is a nice command line
+tool to get details about a DVD, like title, tracks, track length,
+etc, in XML, Perl or human readable format.  But lsdvd have not seen
+any new development since 2006 and had a few irritating bugs affecting
+its use with some DVDs.  Upstream seemed to be dead, and in January I
+sent a small probe asking for a version control repository for the
+project, without any reply.  But I use it regularly and would like to
+get &lt;a href=&quot;https://packages.qa.debian.org/lsdvd&quot;&gt;an updated version
+into Debian&lt;/a&gt;.  So two weeks ago I tried harder to get in touch with
+the project admin, and after getting a reply from him explaining that
+he was no longer interested in the project, I asked if I could take
+over.  And yesterday, I became project admin.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve been in touch with a Gentoo developer and the Debian
+maintainer interested in joining forces to maintain the upstream
+project, and I hope we can get a new release out fairly quickly,
+collecting the patches spread around on the internet into on place.
+I&#39;ve added the relevant Debian patches to the freshly created git
+repository, and expect the Gentoo patches to make it too.  If you got
+a DVD collection and care about command line tools, check out
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/git/ci/master/tree/&quot;&gt;the git source&lt;/a&gt; and join
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/mailman/&quot;&gt;the project mailing
+list&lt;/a&gt;. :)&lt;/p&gt;
