</a></div>
51 <div class=
"date">14th April
2024</div>
52 <div class=
"body"><p>There are several packages in Debian without a associated git
53 repository with the packaging history. This is unfortunate and it
54 would be nice if more of these would do so. Quote a lot of these are
55 without a maintainer, ie listed as maintained by the
56 '
<a href=
"https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=packages%40qa.debian.org">Debian
57 QA Group
</a>' place holder. In fact,
438 packages have this property
58 according to UDD (
<tt>SELECT source FROM sources WHERE release = 'sid'
59 AND (vcs_url ilike '%anonscm.debian.org%' OR vcs_browser ilike
60 '%anonscm.debian.org%' or vcs_url IS NULL OR vcs_browser IS NULL) AND
61 maintainer ilike '%packages@qa.debian.org%';
</tt>). Such packages can
62 be updated without much coordination by any Debian developer, as they
63 are considered orphaned.
</p>
65 <p>To try to improve the situation and reduce the number of packages
66 without associated git repository, I started a few days ago to search
67 out candiates and provide them with a git repository under the
68 'debian' collaborative Salsa project. I started with the packages
69 pointing to obsolete Alioth git repositories, and am now working my
70 way across the ones completely without git references. In addition to
71 updating the Vcs-* debian/control fields, I try to update
72 Standards-Version, debhelper compat level, simplify d/rules, switch to
73 Rules-Requires-Root: no and fix lintian issues reported. I only
74 implement those that are trivial to fix, to avoid spending too much
75 time on each orphaned package. So far my experience is that it take
76 aproximately
20 minutes to convert a package without any git
77 references, and a lot more for packages with existing git repositories
78 incompatible with git-buildpackages.
</p>
80 <p>So far I have converted
10 packages, and I will keep going until I
81 run out of steam. As should be clear from the numbers, there is
82 enough packages remaining for more people to do the same without
83 stepping on each others toes. I find it useful to start by searching
84 for a git repo already on salsa, as I find that some times a git repo
85 has already been created, but no new version is uploaded to Debian
86 yet. In those cases I start with the existing git repository. I
87 convert to the git-buildpackage+pristine-tar workflow, and ensure a
88 debian/gbp.conf file with "pristine-tar=True" is added early, to avoid
89 uploading a orig.tar.gz with the wrong checksum by mistake. Did that
90 three times in the begin before I remembered my mistake.
</p>
92 <p>So, if you are a Debian Developer and got some spare time, perhaps
93 considering migrating some orphaned packages to git?

</a></div>
265 <div class=
"date"> 3rd March
2024</div>
266 <div class=
"body"><p>The last few days I have revisited RAID setup using the LSI
267 Megaraid controller. These are a family of controllers called PERC by
268 Dell, and is present in several old PowerEdge servers, and I recently
269 got my hands on one of these. I had forgotten how to handle this RAID
270 controller in Debian, so I had to take a peek in the
271 <a href=
"https://wiki.debian.org/LinuxRaidForAdmins">Debian wiki page
272 "Linux and Hardware RAID: an administrator's summary"
</a> to remember
273 what kind of software is available to configure and monitor the disks
274 and controller. I prefer Free Software alternatives to proprietary
275 tools, as the later tend to fall into disarray once the manufacturer
276 loose interest, and often do not work with newer Linux Distributions.
277 Sadly there is no free software tool to configure the RAID setup, only
278 to monitor it. RAID can provide improved reliability and resilience in
279 a storage solution, but only if it is being regularly checked and any
280 broken disks are being replaced in time. I thus want to ensure some
281 automatic monitoring is available.
</p>
283 <p>In the discovery process, I came across a old free software tool to
284 monitor PERC2, PERC3, PERC4 and PERC5 controllers, which to my
285 surprise is not present in debian. To help change that I created a
286 <a href=
"https://bugs.debian.org/1065322">request for packaging of the
287 megactl package
</a>, and tried to track down a usable version.
288 <a href=
"https://sourceforge.net/p/megactl/">The original project
289 site
</a> is on Sourceforge, but as far as I can tell that project has
290 been dead for more than
15 years. I managed to find a
291 <a href=
"https://github.com/hmage/megactl">more recent fork on
292 github
</a> from user hmage, but it is unclear to me if this is still
293 being maintained. It has not seen much improvements since
2016. A
294 <a href=
"https://github.com/namiltd/megactl">more up to date
295 edition
</a> is a git fork from the original github fork by user
296 namiltd, and this newer fork seem a lot more promising. The owner of
297 this github repository has replied to change proposals within hours,
298 and had already added some improvements and support for more hardware.
299 Sadly he is reluctant to commit to maintaining the tool and stated in
300 <a href=
"https://github.com/namiltd/megactl/pull/1">my first pull
301 request
</A> that he think a new release should be made based on the
302 git repository owned by hmage. I perfectly understand this
303 reluctance, as I feel the same about maintaining yet another package
304 in Debian when I barely have time to take care of the ones I already
305 maintain, but do not really have high hopes that hmage will have time
306 to spend on it and hope namiltd will change his mind.
</p>
308 <p>In any case, I created
309 <a href=
"https://salsa.debian.org/debian/megactl">a draft package
</a>
310 based on the namiltd edition and put it under the debian group on
311 salsa.debian.org. If you own a Dell PowerEdge server with one of the
312 PERC controllers, or any other RAID controller using the megaraid or
313 megaraid_sas Linux kernel modules, you might want to check it out. If
314 enough people are interested, perhaps the package will make it into
315 the Debian archive.
</p>
317 <p>There are two tools provided, megactl for the megaraid Linux kernel
318 module, and megasasctl for the megaraid_sas Linux kernel module. The
319 simple output from the command on one of my machines look like this
320 (yes, I know some of the disks have problems. :).

403 <p>Today, the animation figure Mickey Mouse finally was released from

405 <a href=

408 probation, thanks to trademark laws and a the Disney corporations
409 powerful pack of lawyers, as described in the
2017 article
410 in
<a href=

412 positive side, the primary driver for repeated extentions of the
413 duration of copyright has been Disney thanks to Mickey Mouse and the
414 2028 movie, and as it now in the public domain I hope it will cause
415 less urge to extend the already unreasonable long copyright

468 <a href=
"https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent">the VLC
469 bittorrent plugin
</a> to Debian, version
2.14-
4, to fix a few
470 packaging issues. This plugin extend VLC allowing it to stream videos
471 directly from a bittorrent source using both torrent files and magnet
472 links, as easy as using a HTTP or local file source. I believe such
473 protocol support is a vital feature in VLC, allowing efficient
474 streaming from sources such at the
11 million movies in
475 <a href=
"https://archive.org/">the Internet Archive
</a>. Bittorrent is
476 one of the most efficient content distribution protocols on the
477 Internet, without centralised control, and should be used more.
</p>
479 <p>The new version is now both in Debian Unstable and Testing, as well
480 as Ubuntu. While looking after the package, I decided to ask the VLC
481 upstream community if there was any hope to get Bittorrent support
482 into the official VLC program, and was very happy to learn that
483 someone is already working on it. I hope we can see some fruits of
484 that labour next year, but do not hold my breath. In the mean time we
485 can use the plugin, which is already
486 <a href=
"https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=vlc-plugin-bittorrent">installed
487 by
0.23 percent of the Debian population
</a> according to
488 popularity-contest. It could use a new upstream release, and I hope
489 the upstream developer soon find time to polish it even more.
</p>
491 <p>It is worth noting that the plugin store the downloaded files in
492 <tt>~/Downloads/vlc-bittorrent/
</tt>, which can quickly fill up the
493 user home directory during use. Users of the plugin should keep an
494 eye with disk usage when streaming a bittorrent source.

522 <p><strong>Når «på» blir «pÃ¥»: Et reservoar av tegn sett fra
525 <p>av Thomas Sødring og Petter Reinholdtsen
</p>
527 <p>De færreste av oss tenker over hva som skjer dypere i datamaskinen
528 mens vi sitter der og skriver noe på tastaturet. Når du trykker på
529 tasten «Å», så vises bokstaven Å. Men noen ganger blir det
530 feil. Hvorfor det – og hva er viktig å være klar over i
533 <p>Dersom bokstaver tolkes forskjellig mellom systemer, blir det fort
534 rot, dette kalles mojibake blant kjennere, etter det japanske
535 uttrykket for tegnomforming. Det er en lang historie her som tidvis
536 har vært preget av rot. Noen husker kanskje tilbake til en tid der
537 bokstavene æ, ø og å ofte var ødelagt i e-poster – et klassisk
538 eksempel på tegnsettproblemstilling.
</p>
540 <p id=
"tegnsett_access_nå_og_før"><strong>«Nå» og «før»
</strong></p>
542 <p>Tid er et skjult problem for depot fordi vi danner dokumentasjon i
543 en kontekst som er preget av å være «nå». Vår forståelse av verden og
544 bruken av teknologi er utgangspunktet for denne konteksten. Tenk selv
545 hvordan verden har utviklet seg de siste
20 årene, hva samfunnet er
546 opptatt av, og hvordan vi bruker teknologi i hverdagen. Tid er et
547 skjult problem fordi når vi trekker dokumentasjon ut av systemer og
548 deponerer for langtidsbevaring, er konteksten til materialet «nå», men
549 verden går videre. Ettersom teknologien og måten vi bruker den på,
550 utvikler seg, blir «nå» til «før», og dokumentasjonen befinner seg
551 snart i en «før»-kontekst.
</p>
553 <p>Dette med «før» og «nå» i forhold til dokumentasjonens kontekst er
554 noe vi er veldig lite bevisste på, men det er en problemstilling
555 depotarkivene eier og forvalter. En av disse utfordringene er hvorfor
556 «Ø» ikke nødvendigvis er det samme som «Ø», og hvorfor det i det hele
557 tatt gir mening å si noe sånt. Vi snakker her om noe som heter
558 tegnsett, som er en avtalt måte å representere bokstaver, tall og
559 andre symboler på slik at vi på en feilfri måte kan utveksle tekst
560 mellom datasystemer.
</p>
562 <p>Tegnsettproblemstillingen er satt sammen av fire fasetter;
563 repertoar, representasjon, koding og uttegning.
</p>
565 <p id=
"tegnsett_access_repertoarer"><strong>Repertoarer
</strong></p>
567 <p>Repertoar er en samling med tegn og symboler som kan
568 representeres. Tenk norsk alfabet eller japanske piktogrammer, men
569 også matematiske og elektroniske symboler. Bokstaven «stor a» kan være
570 en oppføring i et slikt repertoar. For å kunne brukes i en datamaskin
571 trenger hver oppføring i et slikt repertoar en representasjon, hvilket
572 i datamaskinsammenheng betyr at det tilordnes et tall. Tallet kan
573 lagres på ulike vis i en eller flere kodingsformater. For eksempel kan
574 en skrive tallet ti som både
10, X og A, i henholdsvis
575 titallssystemet, romertallssystemet og sekstentallssystemet.
</p>
577 <p>Hvis en skal kunne lese inn filer og vite hvilket tall og hvilken
578 representasjon og instans i et repertoar det er snakk om, så må en
579 vite hvordan tallet er kodet. Sist, men ikke minst, for å kunne bruke
580 symbolet til noe må det kunne være kjent hvordan det skal se ut eller
581 tegnes på ark. Det finnes utallige skrifttyper med norske bokstaver,
582 alle litt forskjellige, og skal en kunne tegne en stor A på skjermen,
583 så må datamaskinen vite hva den skal tegne. Skrifttyper inneholder
584 informasjon om hvordan ulike tall skal tegnes. De inneholder ikke
585 alltid alle symbolene som er brukt i en tekst, hvilket gjør at ikke
586 alle forståtte tegn vil kunne vises på skjerm eller ark.
</p>
588 <p>Hver av disse fasettene må være avklart for å kunne ta vare på og vise
589 frem tekst med en datamaskin. Kombinasjon av repertoar, representasjon
590 og koding er det en kaller et tegnsett. Kombinasjonen av
591 representasjon og uttegning kalles en skrifttype. De fleste
592 skrifttyper har også informasjon om repertoar, men det finnes
593 skrifttyper som kun kobler mellom tallkode og uttegning, uten å
594 fortelle noe om hvordan tallkodene egentlig skal tolkes.
</p>
596 <p id=
"tegnsett_access_fra_ascii_til_iso_8859"><strong>Fra ASCII til ISO-
8859</strong></p>
598 <p>Vi begynner historien med ASCII (American Standard Code for
599 Information Interchange) som har en historie som spores tilbake til
600 1963. Utgangspunktet til ASCII var at det kunne kode opp til
128
601 forskjellige symboler i vanlig bruk i USA. De visuelle symbolene i
602 ASCII er de små og store bokstavene (a til z og A til Z), tall (
0 til
603 9) og tegnsettingssymboler (for eksempel semikolon, komma og
604 punktum). ASCII har også noen usynlige symboler som ble brukt for
605 bl.a. kommunikasjon. Før ASCII var det for eksempel teleks-tegnsett
606 med plass til bare
32 tegn og EBCDIC med plass til
256 tegn, alle med
607 en helt annen rekkefølge på symbolene enn ASCII, men de har vært lite
608 brukt de siste femti årene. Et eksempel på noen utvalgte symboler i
609 repertoaret til ASCII vises i tabell
1.

672 <p>Det opprinnelige ASCII-tegnsettet ble også omtalt som ASCII-
7 og
673 brukte
7 bits (
0 og
1) for å representere symboler. Datamaskiner er
674 ofte konfigurert til å jobbe med enheter der bits er gruppert som
4
675 eller
8 bits . Det lå en mulighet i å ta i bruk bit åtte. En slik
676 endring ville gjøre det mulig for datamaskiner å øke antall symboler
677 de kunne representere, noe som ga en økning fra
128 forskjellige
678 symboler til
256 forskjellige symboler. Det ble åpnet for å innlemme
679 de nordiske bokstavene sammen med ASCII, og dette ble etter hvert
680 standardisert som ISO-
8859-
1. Tabell
2 viser deler av ISO-
8859-

681 støtter de norske bokstavene.
</p>
683 <p>Det sier seg selv at muligheten til å representere inntil
256 symboler
684 ikke holder når vi snakker om en global verden, og det ble gjort et
685 standardiseringsløp som tok utgangspunkt i ASCII-
7 med en utvidelse
686 til å bruke den åttende biten for ulike språkgrupper. Denne standarden
687 heter ISO-
8859 og er inndelt i opptil
16 varianter, altså fra
688 ISO-
8859-
1 til ISO-
8859-
16.

15 er en
737 revisjon av ISO-
8859-

738 erstatter bokstaver som er mer brukt, og introduserer €-symbolet. Det
739 er viktig å merke at alle ISO-
8859-variantene har overlapp med
740 ASCII-
7, noe som ga samvirke med de engelskspråklige landene som ikke
741 trengte å gjøre noe. Det innebærer også at de første
128 verdiene i
742 ISO-
8859-variantene representerer de samme symbolene. Det er først når
743 du kommer til tolkningen av de resterende
128 verdiene med nummer

8859-verdenen fungerte godt så lenge tegnsettet som ble brukt når
748 innhold ble skapt, også ble brukt når innhold ble gjengitt og du ikke
749 trengte å kombinere innhold fra forskjellige tegnsett i samme
750 dokument. Utfordringen med bruken av ISO-
8859-variantene ble raskt
751 tydelig i en mer globalisert verden med utveksling av tekst på tvers
752 av landegrenser der tekstlig innhold i dokumenter, e-poster og
753 websider kunne bli skrevet med ett tegnsett og gjengitt med et annet

901 <p>Det er egentlig ingen utfordring med dette så lenge du vet hvilket
902 tegnsett innholdet ditt er representert med, og det ikke har skjedd
903 omforminger som du ikke er klar over. Det er det siste som er
904 problematisk, spesielt de datasystemene som har vært i bruk de siste
905 20 årene, som ikke har noe innebygd funksjonalitet for å forvalte
906 tegnsettproblematikken. Et godt eksempel på dette er
907 Microsoft-tegnsettet Windows-
1252, som ble forvekslet som
100 %
908 kompatibel med ISO-
8859-
1, men hadde byttet ut plassene fra
127 til
909 159. Historisk vil det finnes en del variasjon i hvilket tegnsett som
910 har vært i bruk, og hvor vellykket konvertering mellom tegnsett har

"tegnsett_access_unicode_som_løsning"><strong>Unicode som løsning
</strong></p>
915 <p>Tegnsettforvirring ble etter hvert et irritasjonsmoment og
916 samvirkeproblem. Ofte fikk man en e-post der æøå var erstattet av rare
917 symboler fordi e-posten hadde vært innom et eller annet datasystem som
918 ikke brukte samme tegnsett.
</p>
920 <p>For å løse dette samvirkeproblemet for tegnsett ble det startet et
921 arbeid og en ny standard så dagens lys etter hvert. Denne standarden
922 fikk navnet Unicode (ISO/ IEC
10646) og skulle resultere i et tegnsett
923 som alle skulle være enige om. Unicode er et repertoar og en
924 representasjon, dvs. navngivning og tilordning av tallverdi til alle
925 symboler i bruk i verden i dag. Oppføringer i Unicode skrives gjerne
926 U+XXXX der XXXX er tallkoden i sekstentallssystemet som oppføringen
927 har i Unicode-katalogen. Her finner vi tegn brukt av både levende og
928 døde språk, konstruerte språk, tekniske symboler, morsomme tegninger
929 (såkalte emojier) og tegn ingen vet hva betyr eller skal brukes
930 til. Et morsomt eksempel er i nettartikkelen: U+
237C ⍼ RIGHT ANGLE
931 WITH DOWNWARDS ZIGZAG ARROW, av Jonathan Chan.
<sup>[
<a id=
"tegnsett_access_footnoteref_2" href=
"#tegnsett_access_footnotedef_2" title=
"View footnote.">2</a>]
</sup></p>
933 <p>Sammen med Unicode kom det tre måter å kode disse tallene på; UTF-
8,
934 UTF-
16 og UTF-
32. Av datatekniske årsaker er UTF-
8 mye brukt, spesielt
935 når det gjelder utveksling av tekst over Internett, mens UTF-
16 er
936 brukt en del til tekstfiler lagret på Windows. En utfordring med
937 Unicode og UTF-variantene er at disse gir flere måter å kode samme
938 symbol på med en kombinasjonsmekanisme. Dette kan gi utfordringer ved
939 søk, hvis en skal søke etter et ord som har ett eller flere symboler
940 som kan skrives på ulikt vis, så er det ikke sikkert at søkesystemet
941 vil finne alle forekomster. For eksempel kan bokstaven U+
00F8 «Latin
942 Small Letter O with Stroke» kodes som den tradisjonelle norske tegnet
943 ø, men også som o kombinert med skråstrek U+
0338. Begge deler er
944 gyldig bruk av Unicode, selv om det er tradisjon for å foretrekke å
945 «normalisere» kombinasjoner som enkelttegn der det er mulig, nettopp
946 for å forenkle søk.

948 <p id=
"tegnsett_access_bare_unicode_fremover"><strong>Bare Unicode fremover

950 <p>Forvaltningens bruk av tegnsett er regulert i Forskrift om
951 IT-standarder i offentlig forvaltning
<sup>[
<a id=
"tegnsett_access_footnoteref_3" href=
"#tegnsett_access_footnotedef_3" title=

</sup>. Her står det: «Ved all
952 utveksling av informasjon mellom forvaltningsorganer og fra
953 forvaltningsorgan til innbyggere og næringsliv skal tegnsettstandarden
954 ISO/IEC
10646 representert ved UTF8 benyttes.» Det er forskjellige
955 bruksområder til UTF-
8, UTF-
16 og UTF-
32, men UTF-
8 er kodingen vi
956 kjenner mest til. Det er flere grunner at UTF-
8 «vant» konkurransen
957 til å bli den utvalgte. Den kanskje viktigste er at UTF-
8 er fullt
958 samvirkende med ASCII-
7, slik at den engelskspråklige delen av verden
959 kunne rulle ut UTF-
8 uten å merke noe forskjell. En tekstfil med kun
960 ASCII-tekst vil være identisk på disken hvis den lagres som UTF-
8 og
961 ASCII. UTF-
16 og UTF-
32 byr på noen optimaliseringer som gjør dem
962 relevant for spesifikke problemområder, men for det meste vil vi aldri
963 oppleve disse standardene på nært hold i hverdagen. Det er uansett kun
964 bruken av UTF-
8 som er lovregulert i Norge.
</p>
966 <p>Det er ikke slik at hele verden bruker ISO/IEC
10646 og UTF-
8. Kina
967 har egne standarder for tegnsett, mye brukt er GB
18030, som er
968 Unicode med en annen koding enn UTF-
8, mens Taiwan og andre asiatiske
969 land gjerne bruker Big5 eller andre tegnsett.
</p>
971 <p>UTF-
8 er dominerende i Norge, men det er tidsperioder der forskjellige
972 datasystemer utvekslet data i henhold til ISO-
8859-
1, ISO-
8859-
15,
973 Windows-
1252, Codepage
865 og ISO-
646-
60 / Codepage
1016 mens
974 overgangen til UTF-
8 pågikk. Det er ikke slik at et datasystem enkelt
975 kan tvinges til å bruke et tegnsett, da det er flere lag i et
976 datasystem som må settes opp til å bruke riktig tegnsett, og
977 tegnsettproblemet fort oppstår når det er et eller annet i
978 datasystemet som bruker feil tegnsett.
</p>
980 <p>Et klassisk eksempel på problemet er en utveksling av tekst mellom to
981 systemer der teksten i utgangspunktet er kodet i UTF-
8, men går
982 gjennom noe som er ISO-
8859-
1 underveis. Dette kan vises med at ordet
983 «på» i et slik scenario ender opp som «pÃ¥». Det er mulig å spore
984 dette tilbake til verdiene symbolene er tilordnet i tegnsettene. «på»
985 blir til «pÃ¥» fordi «å» i UTF-
8 er representert med U+C3AF, og dersom
986 vi ser på hva disse verdiene representerer, ser vi at
987 sekstentallssystemverdien C3 er
1100 0011 i totallssystemet og
988 symbolet med dette tallet i ISO-
8859-
1 er Ã.
</p>
990 <p>Vi ser det samme med sekstentallssystemverdien A5, som er
1010 0101 i
991 totallssystemet, og tilsvarende symbol i ISO-
8859-
1 er ¥. Slik
992 mojibake kan lett skje hvis «på» i utgangspunktet var representert med
993 UTF-
8, men ble behandlet med et system som bruker ISO-
8859-
1. Det er
994 ingen automatikk i å fange opp slike ødeleggelser mens tekstlig
995 innhold utveksles mellom datasystemer.
</p>
997 <p>En utfordring for depotarkivene er at bruken av tegnsett ikke alltid
998 har vært regulert, og at det kan finnes flere dokumentasjonssamlinger
999 som er opprettet med varierende tegnsett før gjeldende forskrift
1000 inntraff – uten at det er mulig å avlede fra filene hvilket tegnsett
1001 som ble brukt. Et eksempel på dette er €-symbolet, som kom først etter
1002 at ISO-
8859-
1 var tatt i bruk. Det kan bli en utfordring for et
1003 depotarkiv, men så lenge det er kjent hvilket tegnsett var i bruk, så
1004 bør det gå bra. Riksarkivarens

8 som primærtegnsett for
1032 utveksling av tekstlig innhold, begrenser problematikken betraktelig,
1033 men globalt sett så er tegnsettutfordringen ikke løst fordi ikke alle
1034 er enige om å bruke samme tegnsett. Det kan være geopolitiske eller
1035 kulturelle hensyn som ligger til grunn for dette.
</p>
1037 <p>Det er uansett verdt å merke at selv om bruken av UTF-
8 skulle bli
1038 100% utbredt, så er det et historisk perspektiv (ASCII-
7,
1039 ISO-
8859-variantene, UTF-
8) her som gjør tegnsett til et problemområde
1040 arkivarene må forstå og håndtere. Som danningsarkivar har du et
1041 ansvar for å vite hvilket tegnsett systemene og databasene dere
1042 forvalter, er i samsvar med. Det er noe IT-avdelingen din eller
1043 programvareleverandørene enkelt skal kunne svare på, og svaret skal
1044 være UTF-
8 for alle nye systemer.

</a></div>
1078 <div class=
"date">12th November
2023</div>
1079 <div class=
"body"><p>For a while now I wanted to have direct access to the
1080 <a href=
"https://signal.org/">Signal
</a> database of messages and
1081 channels of my Desktop edition of Signal. I prefer the enforced end
1082 to end encryption of Signal these days for my communication with
1083 friends and family, to increase the level of safety and privacy as
1084 well as raising the cost of the mass surveillance government and
1085 non-government entities practice these days. In August I came across
1087 <a href=
"https://www.yoranbrondsema.com/post/the-guide-to-extracting-statistics-from-your-signal-conversations/">recipe
1088 on how to use sqlcipher to extract statistics from the Signal
1089 database
</a> explaining how to do this. Unfortunately this did not
1090 work with the version of sqlcipher in Debian. The
1091 <a href=
"http://tracker.debian.org/sqlcipher/">sqlcipher
</a>
1092 package is a "fork" of the sqlite package with added support for
1093 encrypted databases. Sadly the current Debian maintainer
1094 <a href=
"https://bugs.debian.org/961598">announced more than three
1095 years ago that he did not have time to maintain sqlcipher
</a>, so it
1096 seemed unlikely to be upgraded by the maintainer. I was reluctant to
1097 take on the job myself, as I have very limited experience maintaining
1098 shared libraries in Debian. After waiting and hoping for a few
1099 months, I gave up the last week, and set out to update the package. In
1100 the process I orphaned it to make it more obvious for the next person
1101 looking at it that the package need proper maintenance.
</p>
1103 <p>The version in Debian was around five years old, and quite a lot of
1104 changes had taken place upstream into the Debian maintenance git
1105 repository. After spending a few days importing the new upstream
1106 versions, realising that upstream did not care much for SONAME
1107 versioning as I saw library symbols being both added and removed with
1108 minor version number changes to the project, I concluded that I had to
1109 do a SONAME bump of the library package to avoid surprising the
1110 reverse dependencies. I even added a simple
1111 autopkgtest script to ensure the package work as intended. Dug deep
1112 into the hole of learning shared library maintenance, I set out a few
1113 days ago to upload the new version to Debian experimental to see what
1114 the quality assurance framework in Debian had to say about the result.
1115 The feedback told me the pacakge was not too shabby, and yesterday I
1116 uploaded the latest version to Debian unstable. It should enter
1117 testing today or tomorrow, perhaps delayed by
1118 <a href=
"https://bugs.debian.org/1055812">a small library
1121 <p>Armed with a new version of sqlcipher, I can now have a look at the
1122 SQL database in ~/.config/Signal/sql/db.sqlite. First, one need to
1123 fetch the encryption key from the Signal configuration using this
1124 simple JSON extraction command:
</p>
1126 <pre>/usr/bin/jq -r '."key"' ~/.config/Signal/config.json
</pre>
1128 <p>Assuming the result from that command is 'secretkey', which is a
1129 hexadecimal number representing the key used to encrypt the database.
1130 Next, one can now connect to the database and inject the encryption
1131 key for access via SQL to fetch information from the database. Here
1132 is an example dumping the database structure:
</p>
1135 % sqlcipher ~/.config/Signal/sql/db.sqlite

1560 modify the rpath or runpath of compiled ELF program. It is almost
10
1561 years since I updated the code base, but I stumbled over the tool
1562 today, and decided it was time to move the code base from Subversion
1563 to git and find a new home for it, as the previous one (Debian Alioth)
1564 has been shut down. I decided to go with
1565 <a href=
"https://codeberg.org/">Codeberg
</a> this time, as it is my git
1566 service of choice these days, did a quick and dirty migration to git
1567 and updated the code with a few patches I found in the Debian bug
1568 tracker. These are the release notes:
