+ <p><a href="http://www.coverity.com/">Coverity</a> is a nice tool to
+find problems in C, C++ and Java code using static source code
+analysis. It can detect a lot of different problems, and is very
+useful to find memory and locking bugs in the error handling part of
+the source. The company behind it provide
+<a href="https://scan.coverity.com/">check of free software projects as
+a community service</a>, and many hundred free software projects are
+already checked. A few days ago I decided to have a closer look at
+the Coverity system, and discovered that the
+<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/">gnash</a> and
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmitool/">ipmitool</a>
+projects I am involved with was already registered. But these are
+fairly big, and I would also like to have a small and easy project to
+check, and decided to <ahref="scan.coverity.com/projects/1179">request
+checking of the chrpath project</a>. It was
+added to the checker and discovered seven potential defects. Six of
+these were real, mostly resource "leak" when the program detected an
+error. Nothing serious, as the resources would be released a fraction
+of a second later when the program exited because of the error, but it
+is nice to do it right in case the source of the program some time in
+the future end up in a library. Having fixed all defects and added
+<a href="https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/chrpath-devel">a
+mailing list for the chrpath developers</a>, I decided it was time to
+publish a new release. These are the release notes:</p>
+
+<p>New in 0.16 released 2014-01-14:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>Fixed all minor bugs discovered by Coverity.</li>
+ <li>Updated config.sub and config.guess from the GNU project.</li>
+ <li>Mention new project mailing list in the documentation.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>You can

+new version 0.16 from alioth</a>. Please let us know via the Alioth
+project if something is wrong with the new release. The test suite
+did not discover any old errors, so if you find a new one, please also
+include a test suite check.</p>

+ <p>After many years break from the package and a vain hope that
+development would be continued by someone else, I finally pulled my
+acts together this morning and wrapped up a new release of chrpath,
+the command line tool to modify the rpath and runpath of already
+compiled ELF programs. The update was triggered by the persistence of
+Isha Vishnoi at IBM, which needed a new config.guess file to get
+support for the ppc64le architecture (powerpc 64-bit Little Endian) he
+is working on. I checked the
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/chrpath">Debian</a>,
+<a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrpath">Ubuntu</a> and
+<a href="https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/chrpath">Fedora</a>
+packages for interesting patches (failed to find the source from
+OpenSUSE and Mandriva packages), and found quite a few nice fixes.
+These are the release notes:</p>
+
+<p>New in 0.15 released 2013-11-24:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>Updated config.sub and config.guess from the GNU project to work
+ with newer architectures. Thanks to isha vishnoi for the heads
+ up.</li>
+
+ <li>Updated README with current URLs.</li>
+
+ <li>Added byteswap fix found in Ubuntu, credited Jeremy Kerr and
+ Matthias Klose.</li>
+
+ <li>Added missing help for -k|--keepgoing option, using patch by
+ Petr Machata found in Fedora.</li>
+
+ <li>Rewrite removal of RPATH/RUNPATH to make sure the entry in
+ .dynamic is a NULL terminated string. Based on patch found in
+ Fedora credited Axel Thimm and Christian Krause.</li>
+

+ <p>If one of the points of switching to a new init system in Debian is
+<a href="http://thomas.goirand.fr/blog/?p=147">to get rid of huge
+init.d scripts</a>, I doubt we need to switch away from sysvinit and
+init.d scripts at all. Here is an example init.d script, ie a rewrite
+of /etc/init.d/rsyslog:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+#!/lib/init/init-d-script
+### BEGIN INIT INFO
+# Provides: rsyslog
+# Required-Start: $remote_fs $time
+# Required-Stop: umountnfs $time
+# X-Stop-After: sendsigs
+# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
+# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
+# Short-Description: enhanced syslogd
+# Description: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd.
+# It is quite compatible to stock sysklogd and can be
+# used as a drop-in replacement.
+### END INIT INFO
+DESC="enhanced syslogd"
+DAEMON=/usr/sbin/rsyslogd
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>Pretty minimalistic to me... For the record, the original sysv-rc
+script was 137 lines, and the above is just 15 lines, most of it meta
+info/comments.</p>
+
+<p>How to do this, you ask? Well, one create a new script
+/lib/init/init-d-script looking something like this:
+
+<p><pre>

+<p>It is based on /etc/init.d/skeleton, and could be improved quite a
+lot. I did not really polish the approach, so it might not always
+work out of the box, but you get the idea. I did not try very hard to
+optimize it nor make it more robust either.</p>
+
+<p>A better argument for switching init system in Debian than reducing
+the size of init scripts (which is a good thing to do anyway), is to
+get boot system that is able to handle the kernel events sensibly and
+robustly, and do not depend on the boot to run sequentially. The boot
+and the kernel have not behaved sequentially in years.</p>

+ <p><a href="http://www.spice-space.org/">The SPICE protocol</a> for

+Enterprise Virtualization, and I was sad to discover the other day
+that the browser plugin needed to use these systems seamlessly was
+missing in Debian. The <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/668284">request
+for a package</a> was from 2012-04-10 with no progress since
+2013-04-01, so I decided to wrap up a package based on the great work
+from Cajus Pollmeier and put it in a collab-maint maintained git
+repository to get a package I could use. I would very much like

+NEW. I hope it will be available in Debian in a few days.</p>

+ </div>
+ <div class="date">
+ 27th October 2013
+ </div>
+ <div class="body">
+ <p>The
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/v/vmdebootstrap.html">vmdebootstrap</a>
+program is a a very nice system to create virtual machine images. It
+create a image file, add a partition table, mount it and run
+debootstrap in the mounted directory to create a Debian system on a
+stick. Yesterday, I decided to try to teach it how to make images for
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi">Raspberry Pi</a>, as part
+of a plan to simplify the build system for
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox">the FreedomBox
+project</a>. The FreedomBox project already uses vmdebootstrap for
+the virtualbox images, but its current build system made multistrap
+based system for Dreamplug images, and it is lacking support for
+Raspberry Pi.</p>
+
+<p>Armed with the knowledge on how to build "foreign" (aka non-native
+architecture) chroots for Raspberry Pi, I dived into the vmdebootstrap
+code and adjusted it to be able to build armel images on my amd64
+Debian laptop. I ended up giving vmdebootstrap five new options,
+allowing me to replicate the image creation process I use to make
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_Raspberry_Pi_based_batman_adv_Mesh_network_node.html">Debian
+Jessie based mesh node images for the Raspberry Pi</a>. First, the
+<tt>--foreign /path/to/binfm_handler</tt> option tell vmdebootstrap to
+call debootstrap with --foreign and to copy the handler into the
+generated chroot before running the second stage. This allow
+vmdebootstrap to create armel images on an amd64 host. Next I added
+two new options <tt>--bootsize size</tt> and <tt>--boottype
+fstype</tt> to teach it to create a separate /boot/ partition with the
+given file system type, allowing me to create an image with a vfat
+partition for the /boot/ stuff. I also added a <tt>--variant
+variant</tt> option to allow me to create smaller images without the
+Debian base system packages installed. Finally, I added an option
+<tt>--no-extlinux</tt> to tell vmdebootstrap to not install extlinux
+as a boot loader. It is not needed on the Raspberry Pi and probably
+most other non-x86 architectures. The changes were accepted by the
+upstream author of vmdebootstrap yesterday and today, and is now
+available from
+<a href="http://git.liw.fi/cgi-bin/cgit/cgit.cgi/vmdebootstrap/">the
+upstream project page</a>.</p>
+
+<p>To use it to build a Raspberry Pi image using Debian Jessie, first
+create a small script (the customize script) to add the non-free
+binary blob needed to boot the Raspberry Pi and the APT source
+list:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+#!/bin/sh
+set -e # Exit on first error
+rootdir="$1"
+cd "$rootdir"
+cat <<EOF > etc/apt/sources.list
+deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
+EOF
+# Install non-free binary blob needed to boot Raspberry Pi. This
+# install a kernel somewhere too.
+wget https://raw.github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/master/rpi-update \
+ -O $rootdir/usr/bin/rpi-update
+chmod a+x $rootdir/usr/bin/rpi-update
+mkdir -p $rootdir/lib/modules
+touch $rootdir/boot/start.elf
+chroot $rootdir rpi-update
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>Next, fetch the latest vmdebootstrap script and call it like this
+to build the image:</p>
+
+<pre>
+sudo ./vmdebootstrap \
+ --variant minbase \
+ --arch armel \
+ --distribution jessie \
+ --mirror http://http.debian.net/debian \
+ --image test.img \
+ --size 600M \
+ --bootsize 64M \
+ --boottype vfat \
+ --log-level debug \
+ --verbose \
+ --no-kernel \
+ --no-extlinux \
+ --root-password raspberry \
+ --hostname raspberrypi \
+ --foreign /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static \
+ --customize `pwd`/customize \
+ --package netbase \
+ --package git-core \
+ --package binutils \
+ --package ca-certificates \
+ --package wget \
+ --package kmod
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>The list of packages being installed are the ones needed by
+rpi-update to make the image bootable on the Raspberry Pi, with the
+exception of netbase, which is needed by debootstrap to find
+/etc/hosts with the minbase variant. I really wish there was a way to
+set up an Raspberry Pi using only packages in the Debian archive, but
+that is not possible as far as I know, because it boots from the GPU
+using a non-free binary blob.</p>
+
+<p>The build host need debootstrap, kpartx and qemu-user-static and
+probably a few others installed. I have not checked the complete
+build dependency list.</p>
+
+<p>The resulting image will not use the hardware floating point unit
+on the Raspberry PI, because the armel architecture in Debian is not
+optimized for that use. So the images created will be a bit slower
+than <a href="http://www.raspbian.org/">Raspbian</a> based images.</p>

+Tor should be available for testers of the Freedombox solution. :) In
+a few weeks I hope everything needed to test it is included in Debian.
+The withsqlite package is already in Debian, and the plinth package is
+pending in NEW. The third and vital part of that puzzle is the
+metapackage/setup framework, which is still pending an upload. Join
+us on <a href="irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox">IRC
+(#freedombox on irc.debian.org)</a> and
+<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss">the
+mailing list</a> if you want to help make this vision come true.</p>
