Gentoo Weekly Newsletter
http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/current.xml
This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of April 28th, 2003.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposed changes to how ebuilds are managed
-------------------------------------------
The explosive growth of Gentoo Linux has brought on its share of growing
pains, one of which is the fact that Gentoo Linux now has over 4000
packages in the Portage tree, with under 100 active developers to maintain
them all. With a ratio of 40 packages per developer, its no surprise that
some applications have fallen behind their most current versions.
In an effort to remedy at least part of this problem, Gentoo developer Dan
Armak recently summarized and RFC'd a proposal for reorganizing how Gentoo
Linux manages and maintains ebuilds within the Portage tree. The new
proposal has four key features:
* All ebuilds should, if at all possible, have at least one maintainer
assigned to them. Major ebuilds, such as KDE, GNOME and XFree86 might have
two or three developers assigned to them. Realistically, only those
ebuilds which are complicated or otherwise unusual are likely to have
their own maintainers.
* For the ebuilds that cannot have their own maintainer and are not
complicated enough to require one, they will be organized into thematic
groups. So, there might be a "sound" category and a "video" category. Each
themed group will have one or more maintainers assigned to it who are
responsible for watching for newer upstream versions and bumping those
ebuilds in the testing branch of Portage.
* These thematic groups are not intended to replace or even necessarily
align with Portage categories. Portage categories are a user-side
convenience designed to make organizing packages easier. Themed groups of
maintainers are a developer-side convenience, designed to ensure complete
coverage of the Portage tree.
* Finally, if an ebuild is deemed to be complicated enough to need a
dedicated maintainer, it will be listed as "unmaintained" and in need of a
new owner. If it is not picked up within a pre-determined amount of time,
it will be masked and later dropped from Portage. For those people
familiar with Debian Linux, this is similar to the method they use for
their package maintenance.
Currently, this solution is in the draft stage and is subject to revision
or even complete abandonment if a better solution comes along.
Mailing list changes
--------------------
Many of the Gentoo Linux mailing lists have been abuzz this week regarding
developer communication, the openness of the private gentoo-core list and
other issues related to keeping users appraised of the future of Gentoo
Linux. In an effort to address these issues, the following changes will be
made:
* All communication related to development issues will be kept on
gentoo-dev. Previously, because of the signal to noise ratio on dev, many
developers chose gentoo-core to discuss development issues. As a result of
this, users posting support-related quesitons or other non-development
related issues to gentoo-dev may be politely asked to instead post their
questions to gentoo-user.
* gentoo-core will continue to be a private list, but relevant issues
from it will be summarized here in the GWN. (Actually, this has always
been the case since the GWN was first published. We've just never
explicitly explained that)
* Depending on how successfuly the efforts are to improve the signal to
noise ratio on gentoo-dev, a third list may be created which would be
restricted to posting by Gentoo Linux developers only, but read-only to
anyone who wishes to subscribe.
Users can help this effort by ensuring that each list is used for its
proper purpose. gentoo-user is for support-related questions and general
discussion about Gentoo Linux. gentoo-dev is for discussions related to
the development of Gentoo Linux.
Early addition of tcl/tk
------------------------
Earlier this week, tcl-8.4.2 was added to the testing tree ahead of
schedule and before the supporting scripts to help users migrate from
previous versions of tcl were in place. tcl-8.4.2 requires all
applications using tcl to be recompiled before they will function with the
new version. The development team is working on a migration strategy to
help users migrate from previous versions. In the meantime, anyone using
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~<arch>" should be aware of the recompilation
requirements.
==================
2. Gentoo Security
==================
Summary
-------
* GLSA: snort
* New Security Bug Reports
GLSA: snort
-----------
The snort intrusion detection package has been found to contain an integer
overflow vulnerability that could permit a DoS attack on a vulnerable
computer. It is theoretically possible to exploit the overflow to run
arbitrary code as the snort user, typically root. This compromise may be
corrected by disabling the stream4 preprocessor in snort.conf. Doing so
reduces the utility of snort.
* Severity: High - Potential remote root compromise, with published
defence.
* Packages Affected: net-analyzer/snort versions prior to snort-2.0.0
* Rectification: Synchronize and emerge snort, emerge clean.
* GLSA Announcement[1]
* Advisory[2]

3. Featured Developer of the Week
=================================
George Shapovalov
This week's featured developer, George Shapovalov[5], is the caretaker of
app-sci and "alternative" parts of dev-lang (mostly Pascal-esque and
functional languages like Caml[6] and Haskell[7]) and the coordinator of
the Russian Gentoo community, and also spends a lot of time tackling
organizational and design-related issues, his most notable contribution
being the "distributed ebuild processing system" he proposed. Posted as
Bug #1523[8], it was a proposed method to ease the load on the core
developers' shoulders by delegating ebuild review to users. George
submitted this suggestion after he had used Gentoo for a while and had
submitted several ebuilds; apparently it caused quite a bit of debate in
gentoo-core, and resulted in an invitation to the Gentoo team. While the
proposal hasn't been implemented completely, parts of it have been, and
George feels that Portage is slowly moving closer to what he suggested. On
the Russian front, George coordinates the translation of documentation and
the GWN (Russian version coming soon to a browser near you), as well as
the community at www.gentoo.ru, comprising forums, a mailing list, and,
soon to come, social activities.

Trading nice features for tightness, George runs KDE apps like konqueror
and kmail for day-to-day stuff under Fluxbox. The other apps he uses are
quite standard, although being in charge of app-sci he ends up playing
with quite a few fun and special apps. His workspace, an IBM Thinkpad A21m
(P3 800, 512MB RAM, 20GB HD) follows him around everywhere; he also has
two boxen at home, one serving as a workstation for his wife, the other
serving files and routing. When not busy helping shape the future of
Portage or translating documents, George can be found doing graduate work
in biophysics at Caltech in Pasadena, CA, spending time with his family,
or on the occasional mountain climbing or biking trip. He'll be graduating
soon, and is thinking of going to Europe, quite possibly Germany.

Web Forums

Two New Moderators
The Gentoo Forums continue to grow at their own mind-boggling pace, and at
times some reenforcement of the happy lot that assumes responsibility for
moderation is necessary. Last week, bsolar and andrd joined the group of
moderators offering some guidance in polite speech to the occasional
hothead, redirecting posts to appropriate context, deleting duplicate
threads and the rare occurrences of spam posts:

Public Key Signing
A hot topic in the gentoo-user list was that of PGP keys, encryption and
secure communications in general. Lots of good information popped up in
the thread. Notably, the Reverand Jeffrey Paul preached[12] the dangers of
ignorance in cryptography and recommended this PDF[13] as required
reading. In summary of the thread, due to the nature of the communities
trust in its members, it should not be easy to get your key signed by just
anybody. There are pay services offering "Digital IDs", however that's
beside the point. A good place to get connected is at your local LUG
(Linux User Group), or better yet, at the next Gentoo gathering.

Upgrading Gentoo RCs (release canidates)
This week it was Joel Palimus asking the question, ".. is there then any
reason to install a later release candidate or final release?". Not
surprisingly, the -user community responded with a unanimous 'no'. Once
you have a base system installed and working, it is brought completely up
to date through a series of emerge 'syncs' and 'update worlds'. It was
stated, however, that the move from Gentoo 1.2 to 1.4 was a little more
rocky. The upgrade required recompiling the whole system with a 'emerge -e
world' due to the compiler changing from gcc 2.95 to gcc 3.2. Once
gcc-config[15] was released, however, it allowed gcc 2.95.3-r8 and gcc 3.x
compilers to co-exist peacefully, making the upgrade even easier. Janne
Johansson provided an excellent explanation[16] sourced from the gcc
website. And yes, you can rest safely knowing the GWN team will announce
any special circumstances in the future.

Several Portage Trees
Francisco Gimeno started[18] a big thread with his "I was wondering about
having several portage trees to allow external distributor having
repositories of packages." He received several comments from Foser[19] and
Method[20], along with other Gentoo developers, regarding the problems
that may arise if such a thing was allowed. Of chief concern is how to
properly track dependencies and cache metadata across multiple trees.

5. Gentoo International
=======================
The Gentoo Weekly Newsletter is pleased to announce the creation of a
Turkish version of the GWN. For our Turkish users, you can now enjoy the
GWN in your native toungue.
Interested in translating the GWN into a different language? As you can
see from each issue that comes out, translating the GWN is a fair amount
of work. As such, we prefer to have teams of at least 2-3 people per
language, rather than having just one person per language. This helps to
distribute the load and also ensures that vacations, illnesses and family
emergencies don't disrupt our publishing schedule. If you'd like to help
translate the GWN, please send an email to gwn-feedback@gentoo.org.

8. Tips and Tricks
==================
Privilege Separation in Portage
One nice feature of Portage is that it can drop privileges and compile as a
less privileged user. It can also sandbox most phases of the installation.
This week's tip shows you how to enable these features of Portage to increase
the security of your system. While some later versions of Portage install
this user and group automatically, many users may find that they need to make
these changes manually.
The first step is to create the portage user and group accounts. Portage
will use these accounts when running its processes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 8.1: |
| Adding the portage user and groups |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
|# groupadd -g 250 portage |
|# useradd -u 250 -g 250 -s /bin/false portage |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next step is to fix the ownership on the areas portage will need
access to. By default, these directories are /usr/portage,
/var/tmp/portage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 8.2: |
| Fixing ownership on Portage directories |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
|# chown -R portage:portage /usr/portage |
|# chown -R portage:portage /var/tmp/portage |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you've specified different locations in /etc/make.conf, you will need
to ensure that portage has the proper ownership on PORTAGE_TMPDIR,
PORTDIR, DISTDIR, PKGDIR, PORT_LOGDIR, and PORTDIR_OVERLAY.
After the ownership has been set properly, you need to enable the features
for privilege separate in /etc/make.conf. To do this, you need to edit the
FEATURES line.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Code Listing 8.3: |
| /etc/make.conf FEATURES |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
|FEATURES should look something like the following |
|FEATURES="sandbox userpriv usersandbox" |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portage is now set up to drop root privileges and build packages under the
portage user account. To test it, use the command top. When you have top
open, type u to display processes for a specific user, and type portage at
the prompt to display processes for portage. Now emerge something, and
watch as the portage user shows up as the owner of all the commands.
