• On June 19th, Chris Lamb presented at LinuxCon China 2017 on Reproducible Builds.
• h01ger created a poll for a date for the next Reproducible Builds summit, please vote if you are interested in attending.
• Our next IRC meeting will be on the 6th of July at 17:00 UTC with the following agenda.

• Bernhard M. Wiedemann:
  • gnuradio + volk
  • pymol
  • distorm
  • qtscriptgenerator
  • cpython
  • x3270 x3270
  • sphinx
  • obs-service-tar_scm
  • osc
  • matplotlib merged
  • pyparted merged
  • bjoern merged

• Adrian Bunk (1)
• Edmund Grimley Evans (1)

• Chris Lamb:
  • Document the 'h' variable in our raw_feeder
  • Split diffoscope.difference into feeders
  • Tidy diffoscope/difference.py
• Ximin Luo:
  • Add a PartialString class
  • More ydiff/linediff from diffoscope. difference => diff to group unified_diff related things together
  • difference: has_children -> has_visible_children, and take into account comments
  • Add various traverse_ methods to Difference
  • Move side-by-side and linediff algorithms to difference.py
  • Refactor html-dir presenter to be a class instance, avoiding global state
  • html-dir: show/hide diff comments, which can be very large

• Vagrant Cascadian:
  • Proposed reducing the number of concurrent builds each armhf machine runs, to reduce out-of-memory errors, crashes and false positives with FTBFS on armhf, reducing the number of armhf build workers from 70 to 51.
• Valerie Young: Add highlighting in navigation for the new nodes health pages.
• Mattia Rizzolo:
  • Do not dump database ACL in the backups.
  • Deduplicate SSLCertificateFile directive into the common-directives-ssl macro
  • Apache: t.r-b.o: redirect /testing/ to /stretch/
  • db: s/testing/stretch/g
  • Start adding code to test buster...
• Holger Levsen:
  • Update README.infrastructure to explain who has root access where.
  • reproducible_nodes_info.sh: correctly recognize zero builds per day.
  • Add build nodes health overview page, then split it in three: health overview, daily munin graphs and weekly munin graphs.
  • reproducible_worker.sh: improve handling of systemctl timeouts.
  • reproducible_build_service: sleep less and thus restart failed workers sooner.
  • Replace ftp.(de uk us).debian.org with deb.debian.org everywhere.
  • Performance page: also show local problems with _build_service.sh (which are autofixed after a maximum of 133.7 minutes).
  • Rename nodes_info job to html_nodes_info.
  • Add new node health check jobs, split off from maintenance jobs, run every 15 minutes.
    • Add two new checks: 1. for correct future (2019 is incorrect atm, and we sometimes got that). 2.) for writeable /tmp (sometimes happens on borked armhf nodes).
  • Add jobs for testing buster.
  • s/testing/stretch/g in all the code.
  • Finish the code to deal with buster.
  • Teach jessie and Ubuntu 16.04 how to debootstrap buster.

• several packages have been merged, some are dropped (eg. texlive-htmlxml) and one new package (texlive-plain-generic) has been added
• luatex got updated to 1.0.4, and is now considered stable
• updmap and fmtutil now require either -sys or -user
• tlmgr got a shell mode (interactive/scripting interface) and a new feature to add arbitrary TEXMF trees (conf auxtrees)

Dedicated to Ian Murdock
------------------------
Ian Murdock, the founder of the Debian project, passed away
on 28th December 2015 at his home in San Francisco. He was 42.
It is difficult to exaggerate Ian's contribution to Free
Software. He led the Debian Project from its inception in
1993 to 1996, wrote the Debian manifesto in January 1994 and
nurtured the fledgling project throughout his studies at
Purdue University.
Ian went on to be founding director of Linux International,
CTO of the Free Standards Group and later the Linux
Foundation, and leader of Project Indiana at Sun
Microsystems, which he described as "taking the lesson
that Linux has brought to the operating system and providing
that for Solaris".
Debian's success is testament to Ian's vision. He inspired
countless people around the world to contribute their own free
time and skills. More than 350 distributions are known to be
derived from Debian.
We therefore dedicate Debian 9 "stretch" to Ian.

• Chris Lamb: #864082 filed against fontconfig, forwarded upstream

• Adrian Bunk (4)
• Chris Lamb (1)
• Christoph Biedl (1)
• Niko Tyni (1)

• build: ensure that flock is available for make download (Felix Fietkau)
• include/toplevel: set env GIT_ASKPASS=/bin/true (Alexander 'lynxis' Couzens)

• Chris Lamb: Some code style improvements

• Build tar before downloading everything: On system without tar --sort=name we need to compile tar before downloading everything
• Set CONFIG_AUTOREMOVE to reduce required space
• Create a workaround for signing keys: LEDE signs the release with a signing key, but generates the signing key if it's not present. To have a reproducible release we need to take care of signing keys.
• openwrt_get_banner(): use staging_dir instead of build_dir because the former is persistent among the two builds.
• Don't build all packages to improve development speed for now.
• Only build one board instead of all boards. Reducing the build time improves developing speed. Once the image is reproducible we will enable more boards.
• Disable node_cleanup_tmpdirs

• Do full git reset/clean like Jenkins does
• hard code WORKSPACE dir names, as WORKSPACE cannot be generated from $0 as it's a temporary name.

• Remote scheduler:
  • English fix to error message.
  • Allow multiple architectures in one invocation.
  • Refactor: Break out a helper function. Rename variable to disambiguate with scheduling_args.message.
• Include timestamps in logs
• Set timestamps to second resolution (was millisecond by default).

• Improvements to the breakages page:
  • List broken packages and diffoscope problems first, and t.r-b.o problems last.
  • Reword, drop 'caused by'.
• Add niceness to our list of variations, running with niceness of 11 for the first build and niceness of 10 for the second one. Thanks to Vagrant for the idea.
• Automatic scheduler:
  • Reschedule after 12h packages that failed with error 404
  • Run scheduler every 3h instead of every 6h
• Add basic README about the infrastructure and merge Vagrants notes about his console host.

This post by Dirk Eddelbuettel originated on his Thinking inside the box blog. Please report excessive re-aggregation in third-party for-profit settings.

1. Add a line to end of /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main

2. Run:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install -t kali-rolling openvas

(if you want to simulate before install, add a -s option before -t)

3. Rermove or comment the previous line added to /etc/apt/sources.list file to avoid future problems in your Debian.

4. Run the following command to configure the OpenVAS and to download the initial database:

# openvas-setup

This step may take some time. Note that the initial password for user admin will be created and shown.

5. Finally, open a web browser and access the address https://127.0.0.1:9392 (use https!!!). Alternatively, you can call http://127.0.0.1 to be automagically redirected to https://127.0.0.1:9392.

The default user is admin and the password was shown in the last step. You will can change this password inside OpenVAS (menu Administration > Users > Edit User, which is an blue icon).

If your password was lost, you will be able to create a new administrative user via shell command. See the section "Some tips" below.

6. To see the packages installed from Kali Linux, use the command:

$ dpkg -l   grep kali

# openvasmd --create-user test --role Admin

# openvasmd --update
# openvasmd --rebuild
# service openvas-scanner restart

# openvas-start

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gsad --foreground --listen=127.0.0.1 --port=9392 --mlisten=127.0.0.1 --mport=9390

to

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gsad --foreground --listen=0.0.0.0 --port=9392 --mlisten=127.0.0.1 --mport=9390

# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart greenbone-security-assistant

1. For one thing, GNOME is thoroughly tested with one window button; adding a second one shouldn t be too big of a deal, but maybe adding a 3rd button might not work as well with the design of some apps.
2. When I maximize an app, I either double-click the titlebar or drag the app to the top of the screen so a maximize button just isn t needed.
3. A dedicated maximize just doesn t make as much sense when there is more than one possible maximization state. Besides traditional maximize, there is now left and right semi-maximize. There s even a goal for GNOME 3.26 to support quarter-tiling .

• Ikey Doherty ported Tweak Tool from python2 to python3.
• Florian M llner switched the build system to meson. For an app like Tweak Tool, meson makes the build faster and simpler for developers to maintain.
• For more details about what s changed, see the log and the NEWS
• GNOME Tweak Tool 3.26 will be released alongside GNOME 3.26 in mid-September.

• On June 9th, Chris Lamb will present at the Hong Kong Open Source Conference 2017 on reproducible builds.
• We restarted our IRC meetings, now with a monthly schedule where we meet on the first Thursday of the month at a varying time. Our next meeting will be on the first 6th of July at 17:00 UTC. At the June meeting we had the following agenda, and if you are interested there is an automated summary and full logs too.
  1. Introductions
  2. Feedback for the reproducible.json spec format - is that suitable for Guix and F-Droid as well? LEDE/OpenWrt? Coreboot?
  3. writing parser + user interface for reproducible.json
  4. tests.r-b.o/Debian once Stretch has been released
  5. Reproducible Builds Summit 2017
  6. Next meeting
  7. Any other business

• Holger added a link to the blog post with a report about the recent hackathon to our website.

• Chris Lamb wrote a proof-of-concept implementation for #863622 ("apt: warn when installing packages that are not reproducible"). Try it, it's fun!
• Russ worked on making the debian-policy package build reproducibly which is a good opportunity to shamelessly plug that #844431 ("debian-policy: Packages should be reproducible") is still a work in progress.

• Bernhard M. Wiedemann:
  • pycryptopp
  • rpm
  • rpm
  • bam
  • boost/jam
  • premake
  • ruby/rdoc
  • ruby/rdoc
  • sdcc (merged)

• Adrian Bunk (2)
• Chris Lamb (1)

• Chris Lamb:
  • Add comparator for Fontconfig cache files.
• anthraxx:
  • tools: extend external Arch Linux tools
• Ximin Luo:
  • Add a --exclude-command CLI for filtering out long-running commands like "readelf --debug-dump=info"
  • Use unicode chars for the +/- controls instead of hacky punctuation
  • Don't show +/- controls for differences with no children
  • Fix create_limited_print_func
  • Add a size() method to Difference and check that self._visuals is empty in get_reverse()
  • Add a reader for the JSON format
  • Allow the "source" param to overridden compare() methods to be given as a positional argument

• packages-tests: go back to the shorter way of specifying JUnit jobs.
• update_jdn: call jenkins-jobs instead of jenkins-job-builder, as that's how it is named in 1.6.1 version.
• Upload jenkins-job-builder 1.6.1-1~bpo8+1 to jessie-backports.

• Contribute a few typo fixes.

• Update README to reflect switch to PostgreSQL (some time ago).
• Add three new boards for armhf tests:
  • ff64a-armhf-rb.debian.net: Firefly-rk3399, Rockchip six-core (Cortex-A72 x2 + Cortex-A53 x4), 2GB RAM, USB-sata (future plans for native sata.)
  • jtx1a-armhf-rb.debian.net: Jetson-tx1, quad-core (big.LITTLE Cortex-A53/A57), ~3.5GB RAM, native SATA ~500GB disk
  • odc2a-armhf-rb.debian.net: Odroic-C2, quad-core (Cortex-A53), ~2GB ram, 128GB eMMC
• Ressurect rpi2c-armhf-rb.debian.net (Raspberry PI 2B, broadcom bcm2836 quad-core (cortex-A7), 1GB RAM) from the dead.

• Configure the rc.local service on all build nodes to only start when the network is actually up, as configuring half of them to run in the future requires networking to determine the real current date. See Running Services After the Network is up if you want to learn more about networking with systemd. Somehow this doesnt work yet on the Ubuntu 16.05 arm64 nodes; help welcome, either on #debian-qa or #debian-reproducible.
• Add rpi2c back to the armhf network.
• Also add ff64a, odc2a & jtx1a to the armhf network.
  • Add pbuilder/schroot-setup jobs for the new nodes.
  • Add 10 new armhf builder jobs.
  • Disable all build jobs on odc2a again as haveged segfaults on 4.12~rc2, which is needed for this board & setup.
• Reproducible_cleanup_nodes.sh: adapt for new build service
• Make performance.html show if build jobs are down due to remote node problems and make code to count enabled jobs more robust.
• reproducible_build_service: Make it cope with disabled workers.
• jenkins-master-wrapper: Fail loudly if remote node is not accessable.
• Increase maximum scheduling queue sizes, to adjust for faster scheduler.
• New script, init_node, to initialize new build nodes (derived from refactored existing script).
• Update INSTALL documentation to reflect that we're testing arm64 now too.

• LuaTEX: More callbacks, more typesetting control, more access to internals; ffi library for dynamic code loading added on some platforms.
• pdfTEX: Environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH_TEX_PRIMITIVES from last year renamed to FORCE_SOURCE_DATE, with no changes in functionality; if the \pdfpageattr token list contains the string /MediaBox, omit output of the default /MediaBox.
• XeTEX: Unicode/OpenType math now based on HarfBuzz s MATH table support; some bug fixes.
• Dvips: Make the last papersize special win, for consistency with dvipdfmx and package expectations; the -L0 option (L0 config setting) restores the previous behavior of the first special winning.
• epTEX, eupTEX: New primitives \pdfuniformdeviate, \pdfnormaldeviate, \pdfrandomseed, \pdfsetrandomseed, \pdfelapsedtime, \pdfresettimer, from pdfTEX.
• MacTEX: As of this year, only Mac OS X releases for which Apple still releases security patches will be supported in MacTEX, under the platform name x86_64-darwin; currently this means Yosemite, El Capitan, and Sierra (10.10 and newer). Binaries for older Mac OS X versions are not included in MacTEX, but are still available in TEX Live (x86_64-darwinlegacy, i386-darwin, powerpc-darwin).
• Infrastructure: The TEXMFLOCAL tree is now searched before TEXMFSYSCONFIG and TEXMFSYSVAR (by default); the hope is that this will better match expectations of local files overriding system files. Also, tlmgr has a new mode shell for interactive and scripted use, and a new action conf auxtrees to easily add and remove extra trees.
• updmap and fmtutil: These scripts now give a warning when invoked without explicitly specifying either so-called system mode (updmap-sys, fmtutil-sys, or option -sys), or user mode (updmap-user, fmtutil-user, or option -user). The hope is that this will reduce the perennial problem of invoking user mode by accident and thus losing future system updates. See http://tug.org/texlive/scripts-sys-user.html and an upcoming TUGboat article for details.
• install-tl: Personal paths are now set to MacTEX values (~/Library/...) by default on Macs. New option -init-from-profile to start an installation with the values from a given profile; new command P to explicitly save a profile; new profile variable names (but previous ones are still accepted).
• SyncTEX: the temporary file name now looks like foo.synctex(busy), instead of foo.synctex.gz(busy) (no .gz). Front ends and build systems that want to remove temp files may need adjusting.
• Other utilities: texosquery-jre8 is a new cross-platform program for retrieving locale and other OS information from a TEX document; it is included in shell_escape_commands by default for restricted shell execution. (Older JRE versions are supported by texosquery, but cannot be enabled in restricted mode, as they are no longer supported by Oracle, even for security issues.)
• Platforms: See MacTEX entry above; no other changes.

1. lb config --linux-packages linux-image-$SOMETHING
2. Use equivs to build a linux-image-$SOMETHING-$ARCH package that depends on the kernel that you built.

• Wrote and released installation-birthday. Installing this package will celebrate the anniversary of installing your system by sending you an email via cron(8).
• Fixed an issue in the Django web development framework where you couldn't run the testsuite against a read-only copy of the source code. This was found by the Debian Continuous Integration service. (#26755)
• Provided a pull request for the "wammu" mobile phone manager to ensure the build is reproducible. (#49)
