The article refered to instructions +and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjwgNd_as30">a recipe by +Keld Norman on Youtube on how to make a simple $7 IMSI Catcher</a>, and I decided to test them out.</p> + +<p>The instructions said to use Ubuntu, install pip using apt (to +bypass apt), use pip to install pybombs (to bypass both apt and pip), +and the ask pybombs to fetch and build everything you need from +scratch. I wanted to see if I could do the same on the most recent +Debian packages, but this did not work because pybombs tried to build +stuff that no longer build with the most recent openssl library or +some other version skew problem. While trying to get this recipe +working, I learned that the apt->pip->pybombs route was a long detour, +and the only piece of software dependency missing in Debian was the +gr-gsm package. I also found out that the lead upstream developer of +gr-gsm (the name stand for GNU Radio GSM) project already had a set of +Debian packages provided in an Ubuntu PPA repository. All I needed to +do was to dget the Debian source package and built it.</p> + +<p>The IMSI collector is a python script listening for packages on the +loopback network device and printing to the terminal some specific GSM +packages with IMSI numbers in them. The code is fairly short and easy +to understand. The reason this work is because gr-gsm include a tool +to read GSM data from a software defined radio like a DVB-T USB stick +and other software defined radios, decode them and inject them into a +network device on your Linux machine (using the loopback device by +default). This proved to work just fine, and I've been testing the +collector for a few days now.</p> + +<p>The updated and simpler recipe is thus to</p> + +<ol> + +<li>start with a Debian machine running Stretch or newer,</li> + +<li>build and install the gr-gsm package available from +<a href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gr-gsm/">http://ppa.launchpad.net/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gr-gsm/</a>,</li> + +<li>clone the git repostory from <a href="https://github.com/Oros42/IMSI-catcher">https://github.com/Oros42/IMSI-catcher</a>,</li> + +<li>run grgsm_livemon and adjust the frequency until the terminal +where it was started is filled with a stream of text (meaning you +found a GSM station).</li> + +<li>go into the IMSI-catcher directory and run 'sudo python simple_IMSI-catcher.py' to extract the IMSI numbers.</li> + +</ol> + +<p>To make it even easier in the future to get this sniffer up and +running, I decided to package +<a href="https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/">the gr-gsm project</a> +for Debian (<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/871055">WNPP +#871055</a>), and the package was uploaded into the NEW queue today. +Luckily the gnuradio maintainer has promised to help me, as I do not +know much about gnuradio stuff yet.</p> + +<p>I doubt this "IMSI cacher" is anywhere near as powerfull as +commercial tools like +<a href="https://www.thespyphone.com/portable-imsi-imei-catcher/">The +Spy Phone Portable IMSI / IMEI Catcher</a> or the +<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_phone_tracker">Harris +Stingray</a>, but I hope the existance of cheap alternatives can make +more people realise how their whereabouts when carrying a cell phone +is easily tracked.

It will only collect one frequency at the time, +while a typical phone will be using several frequencies, and not all +phones will be using the frequencies tracked by the grgsm_livemod +program. Also, there is a lot of radio chatter being ignored by the +simple_IMSI-catcher script, which would be collected by extending the +parser code.

When we install more than 2000 packages in -<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux / Debian Edu</a> using -tasksel in the installer, unpacking the binary packages take forever. -A part of the slow I/O issue was discussed in -<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/613428">bug #613428</a> about too -much file system sync-ing done by dpkg, which is the package -responsible for unpacking the binary packages. Other parts (like code -executed by postinst scripts) might also sync to disk during -installation. All this sync-ing to disk do not really make sense to -me. If the machine crash half-way through, I start over, I do not try -to salvage the half installed system. So the failure sync-ing is -supposed to protect against, hardware or system crash, is not really -relevant while the installer is running.</p> - -<p>A few days ago, I thought of a way to get rid of all the file -system sync()-ing in a fairly non-intrusive way, without the need to -change the code in several packages. The idea is not new, but I have -not heard anyone propose the approach using dpkg-divert before. It -depend on the small and clever package -<a href="https://packages.qa.debian.org/eatmydata">eatmydata</a>, which -uses LD_PRELOAD to replace the system functions for syncing data to -disk with functions doing nothing, thus allowing programs to live -dangerous while speeding up disk I/O significantly. Instead of -modifying the implementation of dpkg, apt and tasksel (which are the -packages responsible for selecting, fetching and installing packages), -it occurred to me that we could just divert the programs away, replace -them with a simple shell wrapper calling -"eatmydata&nbsp;$program&nbsp;$@", to get the same effect. -Two days ago I decided to test the idea, and wrapped up a simple -implementation for the Debian Edu udeb.</p> - -<p>The effect was stunning. In my first test it reduced the running -time of the pkgsel step (installing tasks) from 64 to less than 44 -minutes (20 minutes shaved off the installation) on an old Dell -Latitude D505 machine. I am not quite sure what the optimised time -would have been, as I messed up the testing a bit, causing the debconf -priority to get low enough for two questions to pop up during -installation. As soon as I saw the questions I moved the installation -along, but do not know how long the question were holding up the -installation. I did some more measurements using Debian Edu Jessie, -and got these results. The time measured is the time stamp in -/var/log/syslog between the "pkgsel: starting tasksel" and the -"pkgsel: finishing up" lines, if you want to do the same measurement -yourself. In Debian Edu, the tasksel dialog do not show up, and the -timing thus do not depend on how quickly the user handle the tasksel -dialog.</p> - -<p><table> + Updated sales number for my Free Culture paper editions + http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Updated_sales_number_for_my_Free_Culture_paper_editions.html + http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Updated_sales_number_for_my_Free_Culture_paper_editions.html + Mon, 12 Jun 2017 11:40:00 +0200 + <p>It is pleasing to see that the work we put down in publishing new +editions of the classic <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free +Culture book</a> by the founder of the Creative Commons movement, +Lawrence Lessig, is still being appreciated.

The connection to the Internet -was 100Mbit/s during testing, so downloading should not be a -significant factor in the measurement. Download typically took a few -seconds to a few minutes, depending on the amount of packages being -installed.</p> - -<p>The speedup is implemented by using two hooks in -<a href="https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/">Debian -Installer</a>, the pre-pkgsel.d hook to set up the diverts, and the -finish-install.d hook to remove the divert at the end of the -installation. I picked the pre-pkgsel.d hook instead of the -post-base-installer.d hook because I test using an ISO without the -eatmydata package included, and the post-base-installer.d hook in -Debian Edu can only operate on packages included in the ISO. The -negative effect of this is that I am unable to activate this -optimization for the kernel installation step in d-i. If the code is -moved to the post-base-installer.d hook, the speedup would be larger -for the entire installation.</p> - -<p>I've implemented this in the -<a href="https://packages.qa.debian.org/debian-edu-install">debian-edu-install</a> -git repository, and plan to provide the optimization as part of the -Debian Edu installation. If you want to test this yourself, you can -create two files in the installer (or in an udeb). One shell script -need do go into /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/, with content like this:</p> - -<p><blockquote><pre> -#!/bin/sh -set -e -. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule -info() { - logger -t my-pkgsel "info: $*" -} -error() { - logger -t my-pkgsel "error: $*" -} -override_install() { - apt-install eatmydata || true - if [ -x /target/usr/bin/eatmydata ] ; then - for bin in dpkg apt-get aptitude tasksel ; do - file=/usr/bin/$bin - # Test that the file exist and have not been diverted already. - if [ -f /target$file ] ; then - info "diverting $file using eatmydata" - printf "#!/bin/sh\neatmydata $bin.distrib \"\$@\"\n" \ - > /target$file.edu - chmod 755 /target$file.edu - in-target dpkg-divert --package debian-edu-config \ - --rename --quiet --add $file - ln -sf ./$bin.edu /target$file - else - error "unable to divert $file, as it is missing." - fi - done - else - error "unable to find /usr/bin/eatmydata after installing the eatmydata pacage" - fi -} - -override_install -</pre></blockquote></p> - -<p>To clean up, another shell script should go into -/usr/lib/finish-install.d/ with code like this: - -<p><blockquote><pre> -#! /bin/sh -e -. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule -error() { - logger -t my-finish-install "error: $@" -} -remove_install_override() { - for bin in dpkg apt-get aptitude tasksel ; do - file=/usr/bin/$bin - if [ -x /target$file.edu ] ; then - rm /target$file - in-target dpkg-divert --package debian-edu-config \ - --rename --quiet --remove $file - rm /target$file.edu - else - error "Missing divert for $file." - fi - done - sync # Flush file buffers before continuing -} - -remove_install_override -</pre></blockquote></p> - -<p>In Debian Edu, I placed both code fragments in a separate script -edu-eatmydata-install and call it from the pre-pkgsel.d and -finish-install.d scripts.</p> - -<p>By now you might ask if this change should get into the normal -Debian installer too? I suspect it should, but am not sure the -current debian-installer coordinators find it useful enough. It also -depend on the side effects of the change. I'm not aware of any, but I -guess we will see if the change is safe after some more testing. -Perhaps there is some package in Debian depending on sync() and -fsync() having effect? Perhaps it should go into its own udeb, to -allow those of us wanting to enable it to do so without affecting -everyone.</p> +<p>If you would like to translate and publish the book in your native +language, I would be happy to help make it happen.

I managed to interview him this summer.</p> - -<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p> - -<p>My name is Bernd Zeitzen and I'm married with Hedda, a self -employed physiotherapist. My former profession is tool maker, but I -haven't worked for 30 years in this job. 30 years ago I started to -support my wife and become her officeworker and a few years later the -administrator for a small computer network, today based on Ubuntu -Server (Samba, OpenVPN). For her daily work she has to use Windows -Desktops because the software she needs to organize her business only -works with Windows . :-(</p> - -<p>In 1988 we started with one PC and DOS, then I learned to use -Windows 98, 2000, XP, …, 8, Ubuntu, MacOSX. Today we are running a -Linux server with 6 Windows clients and 10 persons (teacher of -children with special needs, speech therapist, occupational therapist, -psychologist and officeworkers) using our Samba shares via OpenVPN to -work with the documentations of our patients.</p> - -<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu -project?</strong></p> - -<p>Two years ago a friend of mine asked me, if I want to get a job in -his school (<a href="http://www.gymnasium-harsewinkel.de/">Gymnasium -Harsewinkel</a>). They started with Skolelinux / Debian Edu and they -were looking for people to give support to the teachers using the -software and the network and teaching the pupils increasing their -computer skills in optional lessons. I'm spending 4-6 hours a week -with this job.</p> - -<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian -Edu?</strong></p> - -<p>The independence.</p> - -<p>First: Every person is allowed to use, share and develop the -software. Even if you are poor, you are allowed to use the software -included in Skolelinux/Debian Edu and all the other Free Software.</p> - -<p>Second: The software runs on old machines and this gives us the -possibility to recycle computers, weeded out from offices. The -servers and desktops are running for more than two years and they are -working reliable. </p> - -<p>We have two servers (one tjener and one terminal server), 45 -workstations in three classrooms and seven laptops as a mobile -solution for all classrooms. These machines are all booting from the -terminal server. In the moment we are installing 30 laptops as mobile -workstations. Then the pupils have the possibility to work with these -machines in their classrooms. Internet access is realized by a WLAN -router, connected to the schools network. This is all done without a -dedicated system administrator or a computer science teacher.</p> - -<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian -Edu?</strong></p> - -<p>Teachers and pupils are Windows users. &lt;Irony on&gt; And Linux -isn't cool. It's software for freaks using the command line. &lt;Irony -off&gt; They don't realize the stability of the system. </p> - -<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p> - -<p>Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Ubuntu Server 12.04 (Samba, -Apache, MySQL, Joomla!, … and Skolelinux / Debian Edu)</p> - -<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to -get schools to use free software?</strong></p> - -<p>In Germany we have the situation: every school is free to decide -which software they want to use. This decision is influenced by -teachers who learned to use Windows and MS Office. They buy a PC with -Windows preinstalled and an additional testing version of MS -Office. They don't know about the possibility to use Free Software -instead. Another problem are the publisher of school books. They -develop their software, added to the school books, for Windows.</p> - - - - - 98.6 percent done with the Norwegian draft translation of Free Culture - http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/98_6_percent_done_with_the_Norwegian_draft_translation_of_Free_Culture.html - http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/98_6_percent_done_with_the_Norwegian_draft_translation_of_Free_Culture.html - Wed, 23 Jul 2014 22:40:00 +0200 - <p>This summer I finally had time to continue working on the Norwegian -<a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book -<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig, -to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with todays copyright -law.

This text is about how the -text processing of this manual is handled in the project.</p> - -<p>One goal of the project is to provide information in the native -language of its users, and for this we need to handle translations. -But we also want to make sure each language contain the same -information, so for this we need a good way to keep the translations -in sync. And we want it to be easy for our users to improve the -documentation, avoiding the need to learn special formats or tools to -contribute, and the obvious way to do this is to make it possible to -edit the documentation using a web browser. We also want it to be -easy for translators to keep the translation up to date, and give them -help in figuring out what need to be translated. Here is the list of -tools and the process we have found trying to reach all these -goals.</p> - -<p>We maintain the authoritative source of our manual in the -<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/">Debian -wiki</a>, as several wiki pages written in English. It consist of one -front page with references to the different chapters, several pages -for each chapter, and finally one "collection page" gluing all the -chapters together into one large web page (aka -<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/AllInOne">the -AllInOne page</a>). The AllInOne page is the one used for further -processing and translations. Thanks to the fact that the -<a href="http://moinmo.in/">MoinMoin</a> installation on -wiki.debian.org support exporting pages in -<a href="http://www.docbook.org/">the Docbook format</a>, we can fetch -the list of pages to export using the raw version of the AllInOne -page, loop over each of them to generate a Docbook XML version of the -manual. This process also download images and transform image -references to use the locally downloaded images. The generated -Docbook XML files are slightly broken, so some post-processing is done -using the <tt>documentation/scripts/get_manual</tt> program, and the -result is a nice Docbook XML file (debian-edu-wheezy-manual.xml) and -a handfull of images. The XML file can now be used to generate PDF, HTML -and epub versions of the English manual. This is the basic step of -our process, making PDF (using dblatex), HTML (using xsltproc) and -epub (using dbtoepub) version from Docbook XML, and the resulting files -are placed in the debian-edu-doc-en binary package.</p> - -<p>But English documentation is not enough for us. We want translated -documentation too, and we want to make it easy for translators to -track the English original. For this we use the -<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/poxml.html">poxml</a> package, -which allow us to transform the English Docbook XML file into a -translation file (a .pot file), usable with the normal gettext based -translation tools used by those translating free software. The pot -file is used to create and maintain translation files (several .po -files), which the translations update with the native language -translations of all titles, paragraphs and blocks of text in the -original. The next step is combining the original English Docbook XML -and the translation file (say debian-edu-wheezy-manual.nb.po), to -create a translated Docbook XML file (in this case -debian-edu-wheezy-manual.nb.xml). This translated (or partly -translated, if the translation is not complete) Docbook XML file can -then be used like the original to create a PDF, HTML and epub version -of the documentation.</p> - -<p>The translators use different tools to edit the .po files. We -recommend using -<a href="http://www.kde.org/applications/development/lokalize/">lokalize</a>, -while some use emacs and vi, others can use web based editors like -<a href="http://pootle.translatehouse.org/">Poodle</a> or -<a href="https://www.transifex.com/">Transifex</a>. All we care about -is where the .po file end up, in our git repository. Updated -translations can either be committed directly to git, or submitted as -<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/src:debian-edu-doc">bug reports -against the debian-edu-doc package</a>.</p> - -<p>One challenge is images, which both might need to be translated (if -they show translated user applications), and are needed in different -formats when creating PDF and HTML versions (epub is a HTML version in -this regard). For this we transform the original PNG images to the -needed density and format during build, and have a way to provide -translated images by storing translated versions in -images/$LANGUAGECODE/. I am a bit unsure about the details here. The -package maintainers know more.</p> - -<p>If you wonder what the result look like, we provide -<a href="http://maintainer.skolelinux.org/debian-edu-doc/">the content -of the documentation packages on the web</a>. See for example the -<a href="http://maintainer.skolelinux.org/debian-edu-doc/it/debian-edu-wheezy-manual.pdf">Italian -PDF version</a> or the -<a href="http://maintainer.skolelinux.org/debian-edu-doc/de/debian-edu-wheezy-manual.html">German -HTML version</a>. We do not yet build the epub version by default, -but perhaps it will be done in the future.</p> - -<p>To learn more, check out -<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/debian-edu-doc.html">the -debian-edu-doc package</a>, -<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/">the -manual on the wiki</a> and -<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/Translations">the -translation instructions</a> in the manual.</p> +<p>Note, the public key should be stored alongside the timestamps in +the archive to make sure it is also available 100 years from now. It +is probably a good idea to standardise how and were to store such +public keys, to make it easier to find for those trying to verify +documents 100 or 1000 years from now. :)</p> + +<p>The verification itself is a simple openssl command:</p> + +<p><blockquote><pre> +openssl ts -verify -data $inputfile -in $sha256.tsr \ + -CAfile ca-cert.txt -text +</pre></blockquote></p> + +<p>Is there any reason this approach would not work?

Som en kan se er det ikke mye tid igjen før fristen +som går ut på søndag. Denne forskriften er det som lister opp hvilke +formater det er greit å arkivere i +<a href="http://www.arkivverket.no/arkivverket/Offentleg-forvalting/Noark/Noark-5">Noark +5-løsninger</a> i Norge.</p> + +<p>Jeg fant høringsdokumentene hos +<a href="https://www.arkivrad.no/aktuelt/riksarkivarens-forskrift-pa-horing">Norsk +Arkivråd</a> etter å ha blitt tipset på epostlisten til +<a href="https://github.com/hiOA-ABI/nikita-noark5-core">fri +programvareprosjektet Nikita Noark5-Core</a>, som lager et Noark 5 +Tjenestegresesnitt. Jeg er involvert i Nikita-prosjektet og takket +være min interesse for tjenestegrensesnittsprosjektet har jeg lest en +god del Noark 5-relaterte dokumenter, og til min overraskelse oppdaget +at standard epost ikke er på listen over godkjente formater som kan +arkiveres. Høringen med frist søndag er en glimrende mulighet til å +forsøke å gjøre noe med det. Jeg holder på med +<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/blob/master/docs/hoering-arkivforskrift.tex">egen +høringsuttalelse</a>, og lurer på om andre er interessert i å støtte +forslaget om å tillate arkivering av epost som epost i arkivet.</p> + +<p>Er du igang med å skrive egen høringsuttalelse allerede? I så fall +kan du jo vurdere å ta med en formulering om epost-lagring. Jeg tror +ikke det trengs så mye.

Vet +ikke hvor mange det gjelder, men det gjelder i hvert fall libwww-perl +og curl. For å teste selv, kjør følgende:</p> - <li>Warn when approaching speed cameras and speed camera ranges - (speed calculated between two cameras).</li> +<blockquote><pre> +% curl -v -s https://www.oep.no/pub/report.xhtml?reportId=3 2>&1 |grep '< HTTP' +< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found +% curl -v -s --header 'User-Agent:Opera/12.0' https://www.oep.no/pub/report.xhtml?reportId=3 2>&1 |grep '< HTTP' +< HTTP/1.1 200 OK +% +</pre></blockquote> - <li>Suport dashboard/front facing camera to discover speed limits and - run OCR to track registration number of passing cars.</li> +<p>Her kan en se at tjenesten gir «404 Not Found» for curl i +standardoppsettet, mens den gir «200 OK» hvis curl hevder å være Opera +versjon 12.0. Offentlig elektronisk postjournal startet blokkeringen +2017-03-02.</p> + +<p>Blokkeringen vil gjøre det litt vanskeligere å maskinelt hente +informasjon fra oep.no. Kan blokkeringen være gjort for å hindre +automatisert innsamling av informasjon fra OEP, slik Pressens +Offentlighetsutvalg gjorde for å dokumentere hvordan departementene +hindrer innsyn i +<a href="http://presse.no/dette-mener-np/undergraver-offentlighetsloven/">rapporten +«Slik hindrer departementer innsyn» som ble publiserte i januar +2017</a>.

Der tilgang gis eller ikke alt etter +hva klienten sier at den heter? Da OEP eies av DIFI og driftes av +Basefarm, finnes det kanskje noen dokumenter sendt mellom disse to +aktørene man kan be om innsyn i for å forstå hva som har skjedd.

I've been involved +in the project since a few weeks before Christmas, when the Norwegian +Unix User Group +<a href="https://www.nuug.no/news/NOARK5_kjerne_som_fri_programvare_f_r_epostliste_hos_NUUG.shtml">announced +it supported the project</a>. I believe this is an important project, +and hope it can make it possible for the government archives in the +future to use free software to keep the archives we citizens depend +on. But as I do not hold such archive myself, personally my first use +case is to store and analyse public mail journal metadata published +from the government. I find it useful to have a clear use case in +mind when developing, to make sure the system scratches one of my +itches.</p> + +<p>If you would like to help make sure there is a free software +alternatives for the archives, please join our IRC channel +(<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23nikita"">#nikita on +irc.freenode.net</a>) and +<a href="https://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/nikita-noark">the +project mailing list</a>.</p> + +<p>When I got involved, the web service could store metadata about +documents. But a few weeks ago, a new milestone was reached when it +became possible to store full text documents too. Yesterday, I +completed an implementation of a command line tool +<tt>archive-pdf</tt> to upload a PDF file to the archive using this +API. The tool is very simple at the moment, and find existing +<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonds">fonds</a>, series and +files while asking the user to select which one to use if more than +one exist. Once a file is identified, the PDF is associated with the +file and uploaded, using the title extracted from the PDF itself. The +process is fairly similar to visiting the archive, opening a cabinet, +locating a file and storing a piece of paper in the archive. Here is +a test run directly after populating the database with test data using +our API tester:</p> -</ul> +<p><blockquote><pre> +~/src//noark5-tester$ ./archive-pdf mangelmelding/mangler.pdf +using arkiv: Title of the test fonds created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446 +using arkivdel: Title of the test series created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446 + + 0 - Title of the test case file created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446 + 1 - Title of the test file created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446 +Select which mappe you want (or search term): 0 +Uploading mangelmelding/mangler.pdf + PDF title: Mangler i spesifikasjonsdokumentet for NOARK 5 Tjenestegrensesnitt + File 2017/1: Title of the test case file created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446 +~/src//noark5-tester$ +</pre></blockquote></p> -<p>If you know of any free software car computer system supporting -some or all of these features, please let me know.</p> +<p>You can see here how the fonds (arkiv) and serie (arkivdel) only had +one option, while the user need to choose which file (mappe) to use +among the two created by the API tester. The <tt>archive-pdf</tt> +tool can be found in the git repository for the API tester.</p> + +<p>In the project, I have been mostly working on +<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester">the API +tester</a> so far, while getting to know the code base. The API +tester currently use +<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS">the HATEOAS links</a> +to traverse the entire exposed service API and verify that the exposed +operations and objects match the specification, as well as trying to +create objects holding metadata and uploading a simple XML file to +store. The tester has proved very useful for finding flaws in our +implementation, as well as flaws in the reference site and the +specification.</p> + +<p>The test document I uploaded is a summary of all the specification +defects we have collected so far while implementing the web service. +There are several unclear and conflicting parts of the specification, +and we have +<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/tree/master/mangelmelding">started +writing down</a> the questions we get from implementing it. We use a +format inspired by how <a href="http://www.opengroup.org/austin/">The +Austin Group</a> collect defect reports for the POSIX standard with +<a href="http://www.opengroup.org/austin/mantis.html">their +instructions for the MANTIS defect tracker system</a>, in lack of an official way to structure defect reports for Noark 5 (our first submitted defect report was a <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/blob/master/mangelmelding/sendt/2017-03-15-mangel-prosess.md">request for a procedure for submitting defect reports</a> :). + +<p>The Nikita project is implemented using Java and Spring, and is +fairly easy to get up and running using Docker containers for those +that want to test the current code base. The API tester is +implemented in Python.</p>
