1. There's been a judgement by the constitutional court that the current situation regarding which party may run for election in the BHV region is unconstitutional.
2. One group of politicians wishes to resolve this issue by splitting the BHV region in two. That would certainly solve the issue.
3. Another group of politicians dislikes this solution. They may be willing to go along, but they want other concessions before they will do so. This is what I referred to when I said that there were "a huge heap of all kinds of side issues" in my previous post.
4. The first group does not wish to make such concessions. Some of their numbers have even stated in the press that there is no need to make them, because, given the first point, there's only one solution and that is to split.

• tools based on diff3 (like ucf)
• Config::Model based upgrades

• minimal work required on upstream or packager

• may produce syntactically wrong files
• may leave conflicts unresolved
• may leave duplicated (and conflicting) statements
• may loose user data

• Very robust, should work in most cases
• Can be set up to migrate user data from old config format to new format
• Leave upstream more room to change their project

• Lot of work required from upstream or packager to create models

a configuration file cannot be validated if an unknown parameter can t be distinguished from a user typo.

1. Unexpected parameter that are actually simple leaf parameters. E.g. introduction of ClientAliveInterval.
2. Obsolete parameters that should be migrated. E.g KeepAlive is renamed into TCPKeepAlive
3. New structural parameters (introduction of Match element)

1. ClientAliveInterval value would be kept.
2. KeepAlive would be kept as is.TCPKeepAlive would also be kept. No migration is performed, but the configuration would be good. As long as sshd supports the old parameter, we re good. :-/
3. Without knowledge of the structure brought by Match parameters, Config::Model would consider that parameter in Match block would duplicate parameters in the main block and remove the duplicate. User data may be lost.

• to perform upgrade, the structure of the configuration must be specified
• A minimal model that would perform upgrade for Sshd without any validation would require only knowledge of Match parameter

Hello It s official: I m going to mentor a project related to config-model (without forgetting Augeas which might also be involved) this year:

Content-aware Config Files Upgrading
by Krzysztof Tyszecki, mentored by Dominique Dumont When a package deliver configuration files, the problem of merging user data with new configuration instructions will arise during package upgrades on users systems. Sometimes merging can be done with 3 way merge, but this process does not insure that the resulting file is correct or even legal. This project intends to create standards,
tools and heuristics to make the scary config file conflict resolution debconf prompt a thing of the past.

From you people, I d like feedback and more importantly, I d like to get real life use cases.

What are the configuration upgrade scenario that bothered you ? What was your configuration file ? What was the setup done by package maintainer ? What result did you get ? What result did you expected to get ?

All the best

AirTunes v2 UDP streaming forked-daapd can now do streaming to multiple AirTunes devices (as well as the local soundcard) and can be controlled from Remote (and, ideally, from anything that speaks DACP). I m releasing this early while the paint is still wet and not everything works on the DACP-side of things. Case in point, while playing a song or an album is supported, playing a playlist isn t. There s some work needed on this particular feature, and it ll get there eventually. There have been a couple of other changes in the codebase in recent weeks too; details after the jump. Implementing AirTunes v2 has been quite fun and, in addition to releasing the forked-daapd code today, I ve also taken the time to write down my findings about the protocol so others can experiment with it. This documentation is by no means exhaustive nor complete as far as the protocol goes; if you find out anything I haven t, let me know so I can update this document. Let s review the recent changes in the forked-daapd codebase over the past few weeks. AirTunes v2 You can now use Remote from your iSomething together with your AirTunes devices and forked-daapd to listen to your library. As mentioned above, playing a playlist is not supported; I have a few things to sort out before this can work and I suspect this will bring changes not only to the DACP interface but also to other parts of the code. So, stay tuned. forked-daapd supports synchronized playback to multiple AirTunes devices together with the local soundcard if so desired. You can expect the AirTunes devices to be in sync with each other, but the soundcard will usually run in circles around them. It looks like AirTunes plays sound a bit slower than 44.1 kHz; not a big deal, though, as AirTunes will catch up periodically and the desync, while it can be noticeable, isn t big (ie we re not talking seconds, not even one full second). Make sure your network can handle the load, as streaming to a single AirTunes device requires in excess of 1.6 Mbps (1.8 Mbps is actually closer to the real thing). Local audio output is supported via ALSA and OSS4, although note that the OSS4 code hasn t been very well tested. I intend to test and debug it fully at a later date, but feel free to beat me to it and send patches. Also note that, while there is code for FreeBSD in the player/streaming part of forked-daapd, it doesn t work well at all. The streaming code needs a timer with a higher resolution than kqueue/kevent has to offer, and I haven t found anything as capable as timerfd. So it s there, but it s broken. Read on about FreeBSD support. Metadata scanning Several fixes and enhancements have been made to the filescanner so it picks more and better metadata. Format-specific tagnames have been added to work around ffmpeg s limitations. Using a recent enough ffmpeg version (anything after mid-december 2009) will work best, especially for MP3 files. SQLite concurrency fixes The database code has been reworked to handle concurrency on the database. Issues with locked tables (or the whole database) were noticed pretty easily with big libraries when accessing forked-daapd during the library update after startup. On uniprocessor machines, this was even easier to hit. This, however, comes with new requirements for SQLite3: you ll now need SQLite3 v3.5.0 at least and it must be built with the unlock notify API enabled. Not all distributions ship SQLite3 with the unlock notify API enabled, so you may need to do a rebuild. Debian, for instance, doesn t; this is #579266. A word about FreeBSD support I m giving up on FreeBSD support. The streaming code doesn t work on FreeBSD due to timer issues, and I don t intend to fix it. I also don t intend to invest much time in porting future features to FreeBSD; if I can make it work, then fine, otherwise, too bad. Someone needs to step up if there s interest in having forked-daapd work on FreeBSD.
