• Issues with builds (only) on mips64el are not blockers for testing migration (nor RC yet).
  • Such bugs should be filed as important for now (unless they also affect a release architecture, in which case you should still make it an RC bug)
• Your package be an older version on mips64el compared to other architectures.
• Britney may decide to break your package on mips64el if it means something else can migrate on a release architecture.

Key signing party Each year, this is a really important tradition: people gather together and exchange GPG public key fingerprint and sign each other s keys. This contributes greatly to the growth of the web of trust.

I did exchange public key fingerprint with others. It was the first opportunity become more connected in the PGP web of trust. I think this is something that needs to make its way to the less technical people so that everyone can benefit from the network privacy features. There is support for some mail clients like Thunderbird, but I think there is still work to do there and mostly there is work to do about the opinion or point of view people have about encryption ; people don t care enough and they don t really know what encryption can do for them (digital signature, trust and privacy).

Ring now part of Debian During the first week at debcamp, Alexandre Viau, an employee at Savoir-Faire Linux and a also a Debian developer (DD for short), has packaged Ring for Debian. Users can now install Ring like so:

$ sudo apt-get install ring

This is an important moment as more people are now going to easily try Ring and potentially contribute to it.

Presentating Ring Alexandre Viau and I have been thinking about presenting Ring at debconf 2016. We finally did it.

The configuration of Linux hosts has become increasingly declarative, managed by tools like puppet and ansible, or by the composition of containers. But if a server is a collection of declarative properties, how do you make sure that changes to that configuration make sense? You can test them, but eventually it's 3 AM and you have an emergency fix that needs to go live immediately. Data types to the rescue! While data types are usually used to prevent eg, combining an Int and a Bool, they can be used at a much more abstract level, for example to prevent combining a property that needs a Debian system with a property that needs a Red Hat system. Propellor leverages Haskell's type system to prove the consistency of the properties it will apply to a host.

What s done Queries. The library will provide the additional following functions in its API:

void get(InfoHash id, GetCallbackSimple cb, DoneCallback donecb= , Value::Filter f = Value::AllFilter(), Where w =  )  
void query(const InfoHash& hash, QueryCallback cb, DoneCallback done_cb =  , Query q =  );

The structure Where in the first signature will allow the user to narrow the set of values received through the network those that verify the where statement. The Where actually encapsulates a statement of the following SQL-ish form: SELECT * WHERE <some_field>=<some_field_value>. Also, the DhtRunner::query function will let the user do something similar to what s explained in the last paragraph, but where the returned data is encapsulated in FieldValueIndex structure instead of Value. This structure has a std::map<Value::Field, FieldValue>. You can think of the FieldValueIndex as a subset of fields of a given Value. The Query structure then allows you to create both Select and Where statements .

What s next

• Value pagination. I have begun working on this and I now have a more clear idea of the first step to accomplish. I have to redesign the get operation callbacks calling process by making a callback execution per SearchNode instead of per Search (list of SearchNode). This will let us properly write the value pagination code with node concurrency in mind. This will therefor make sure we don t request a value from a node if it doesn t stores it;
