Request: Source for snakeos-V1.3.2-20101130-from-snake.bin

snake.bin?
I would like to see if I can update the usb driver which I think is
causing some problems on my NS-K330.
Thanks.

In that way some of the problems we have with the NAS could be
hopefully solved.

Look here:
http://code.google.com/p/snake-os/issues/detail?id=100&q=1.3
On comment 11 is the link to the source.
http://www.4shared.com/dir/IQJ0qjtt/sharing.html#
I had downloaded and it is 320 MB. I will see if it possible to upload
on the download area of the snake site...
If you failed to download, ask me and I can help you.

Is there any thought about putting all of this source in SVN or github?

repository for Google Code enabled. My thought is that the official
source should go there, and the proposed changes should be reviewed to
see if they should be folded into the official source (and this may
aid this whole process). It also may help encourage code
contributions.

I'm happy to have TWO professionals for putting source to CVS/github.
None volunteered for this at least for last one year... :))
I bend to consider what Duncan suggests. The snake source site should
be the home of CVS.
I have some rights on that site, and ask Douglas to give to you both.
Is that enough to start guys?
I hope this is the task for me...

If you don't mind, I would strongly suggest using git instead of CVS. Git
makes it easier to track regressions, to bisect code looking for a bad
commit. Also, if the people with wwrite access to the git tree decide to
create branches for different tests or flavors of SnakeOS, git makes it
cheaper and easier. IIRC git the initial idea on this thread.

correct or is it Git? Would github be a better alternative purely for
code hosting?
Duncan McQueen
some that could be done to reduce the code size.

Maybe I ask very dummy :) but has Sourceforge any relation to Oracle?
In this case I feel some small risk about long term cooperation....
SF could be the 3.th option. Is it is also SVN?

Mendel and Louis has some strong arguments about GIT.
I don't really know any of them. So I suggest Duncan and Mendel should
agree which will be choosen, and who will do what.
Mendel !
Regarding your question about SIze limit at Googlecode:
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/FAQ
"What other limits exist?
There are disk-space quota limits for both issue tracker attachments
and total Subversion repository size, along with a limit on how many
total projects you are able to create. If you hit these limits, please
contact us via our Google Group or email google-code-
hos...@googlegroups.com directly to discuss the situation.
"
Which is not exact answer but promissing.
But Gogglecode only SVN and Mercurial as you wrote.
1.3 GB seems too much. Have you any result with clean up?
So I suggest to vote.
One vote to free github.
Douglas didn't answer yet :(

Robert

the code so that we everything is on one place - but not sure whether
SVN , GIT or Mercurial is best for hosting the code in this method -
any thoughts?
Douglas Gazineu
Well, I'm not a great Linux enthusiast and expert. I used Kurumin in
emergencies, in early 2003, tested Ubuntu, Slackware and Mint and now
I'm using Ubuntu at work and doing something on SNAKE at home. I'm
mostly on Windows. The point is that I still don't get some of Linux
structures and I don't know what I can strip from the source without
screwing up. I don't even know how to cross-compile for ARM (but I'm
trying to learn). So, I like the idea suggested by Veli-Pekka Peltola
but I don't know hos to do it, effectively.
BTW, I want to know Gazineu's thoughts about these ideas. Hope he's
not too busy to see what we're planning, as well to get with us.
And, when I have the minimum knowledge, I plan to fork SNAKE to a
project of Twitter gateway using a cellphone. It's a simple fetcher of
replies/dms that sends them as SMS messages through a cellphone
connected to serial (pl2303.ko!). The project will use some kind of
basic Twitter client and SQLite. I can do this easily on a chrooted
Debian, but the challenge of developing for SNAKE is more attractive.
I think there is no need to chroot because I believe in SNAKE's
power. :)

There is no point to store full Linux kernel in version control system for example. That makes easier to see what changes are when compared to vanilla versions. Forward porting is easier too.

How about you guys first adding the source code tarball and then working on
the SVN repo?
I suggested git earlier mainly because of the kernel code, but as long as
there is a version control system in place, it is a win. :)

Thanks Gusmão.
I am myself downloading the entire lenny repository from Debian so I can keep a copy here for the armv4 build they provide. That is for making sure I can install software even after they stop supporting armv4 (such as other OSes like Fedora which only support armv7 and newer ones) or when they stop hosting lenny builds.
Regards,
Rogério Schneider
(instead of opening a new topic, I'll use this because what I want is
related to repositories)
I created a GIT/SVN repository to store cross-compiled software for
our NAS. I spent a lot of time trying to find ARMv4 versions of
sqlite, lynx and others (unsuccessfully). The centralized source will
be very useful to someone who might need'em.
The address of the repository is: https://github.com/MendelGusmao/Snake-OS-Software
Please, suggest links of compatible software, so I can upload them to
the repository.
Cheers

For instance, kernels/linux should be a symbolic link to kernels/linux-2.6.16-gazineu and not a duplicate directory for the same. I think your error message has something to do with that.

branching out 1.3.2 and adding in what I have identified as changes
(some of the web, plus transmission and a few other small things).
I imagine we could bring transmission totally up to date (along with
openssh) - any thoughts?

source, imported it, and then did a directory diff to see what was
missing / changed with the 1.3.2 source. I then copied over what
appeared to be new on 1.3.2 (mostly Transmission and some new web
interface files). If anyone else knows of a changelog of what is new
in 1.3.2, I am anxious to hear it.
My plan is to get the 1.3.2 branch working (and test out the 1.1 which
should work), perhaps update transmission and openssh then fold it
back in to mainline. Then we can work on additional enhancements.

installed could that be a reason it is not created?

I believe the "sudo" calls is causing the issues if your user, the one which issued "make", does not have a password-less sudo permission.
Try this **with caution**:
$ su -
# visudo
youruser ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL
# exit
$ make

error about the jffs file. I think the issue is make rootfs isn't
getting executed everytime. I'll investigate more.
Rogério Schneider
make clean
./mk_snakeos_image.sh
make gen_rootfs

Running everything as root with sudoers password-less for that user.
Perhaps we could inform the user:
- build as root
Also, we may remove that nonsense sudo calls, if are building with root whatsoever.

All works! Except too big of a rootfs error I got. But I removed

to the code repository).
I successfully built a 1.3.2 firmware (although size was an issue, but
stripping out transmission worked). Anyone else get 1.3.2 to compile?
I'd like to fold that source back into main part from the branch then
we have a clean source to build on.
So, basically my next steps (in no order) are this:
1. See if there is any advantage to folding in the kernel patches
against a later kernel.
2. Investigating a simple package management system - this may allow
the rootfs to be smaller, while moving transmission and other packages
to a cleaner area.
3. See what other code changes are necessary to address current issues.
Rogério Schneider
I will try compile your 1.3.2 branch latter at home.

think it is unnecessary. I believe someone to get 1.3.2 full, we need
to compress something down but not sure.

be warned that I am a bit active in that area. I updated dropbear
(the SSH server) to the latest version, removed transmission
(temporarily due to space), and added a package manager.
Anyone want to voluntary to:
1. Figure out where we can host opkg files (maybe on the project but
need a repository)
2. Start building opkg files for snake os?
I'd like to see Transmission go as an opkg and run from the attached drive.

Hey guys! What's up?
I'm having some nice ideas to make Snake OS better, but I'm struggling to deal with SVN. After using GIT for two years I really feel uncomfortable when I have to type svn.
The way it works, with commits being pushed directly to the repository as they happen, in conjunction with the way that SVN deals with branches (full copy of the trunk) really makes the job harder. To think twice before committing, with the fear of screwing up something is bad.
A think that migrating to GIT and Github is a good step with a long list of advantages.
- Branches for everything, from small fixes to big refactorings. The simplicity of its branching system allow us to choose between a huge variety of branching strategies and develop more than one feature at a time.
- With its submodules system we can stop manually downloading the source code of applications bundled with Snake OS.
- Github and your strong community are a plus when we talk about gathering new contributors and making the system popular and open to changes as new simple devices are released. We won't need to get out of Google Code. Instead, it would be a mirror.
- We can automate the builds with Travis CI. Also, if we somehow implement basic tests within a QEMU environment, it turns easy to offer the latest versions of the bundled applications. Not only about having new features, but building a more secure system.
One issue with Github is the limitation of the repository's size. If we push the actual repository, which has more than 1 GB of size, surely we'd receive a notification asking to reduce its size. We need to strip the cross-compiling toolchain binaries and everything that isn't source code to different repositories, as well as removing the compiled images.
My ideas are:
- A modern interface, using recent technologies, such as Ajax and some CSS framework. A few days ago I discovered psDash [ https://github.com/Jahaja/psdash ] and really liked its interface. It should be a great start point.
- A better, centralized way to deal with the many configuration sections. A webserver made on purpose, Ajax and JSON-based, modular (each section has a dynamic loaded module), eliminating the pair httpd+haserl and the need to have shell scripts embedded in HTML.
- A Package Manager like the one in Sublime Text. We host the packages along with an index and they should be instalable directly from Snake's web interface.
These ideas came a bit late and we have a lot of newer devices and software that are clearly better than ours (RasPi is a huge example), but I really love the fun that is to have the pair K330 + Snake OS. The environment constraints are a good challenge for evolving programming skills in the universe of embedded devices. To see recent commits is an stimulus to make it "at home" instead of forking. Also, K330 still sells and it looks like there's already some code to support K340, regarding its WiFi functionality.
If anyone's out there interested in working over this step in the development of the Snake OS, let's start working! If I said something wrong or completable, let's discuss.
Regards,

Sure why not. Google disabled downloads a while back so we'd need a new
home for those anyway. I was actually thinking of setting up a site
myself, but considering how little activity there is around snake os it
wasn't really a priority.

The Econa/CNS21XX series seems to have dropped from Caviums product
pages, so they probably aren't even selling them anymore.

built from a repositories? If not one option might be to just pack
up the toolchain in a tarball. You can point the snake os build system
to use an external toolchain with an environment variable so it doesn't
strictly need to be in-tree.
The source for the toolchain is available on cnsusers.org btw. It looks
like just a somewhat patched up buildroot.

The main draw of the httpd+haserl combination is that it's really tiny.
Httpd must be around anyway for the web server function and haserl is
just a few kilobyte in size. Haserl can be compiled with with lua
support if you want to avoid shell scripts.

external repositories (like apt-get). It just needs an interface ..well
and a repository somewhere. Would github be suitable for that?

will run on those any time soon. The wifi stuff in svn is for usb
adapters. See: https://code.google.com/p/snake-os/issues/detail?id=62

Ok, the actual toolchain is under tools/arm-uclibc-3.4.6 though. The
rest are just auxiliary files. Most of them aren't even needed.
After a quick look the ones that are referenced somewhere are:
depmod.pl - at some point some new version of depmod started to hardwire
some path components so this was a replacement. maybe that
has changed
sumtool - comes with mtd-utils. so it's actually redundant because
we depend on mtd-utils for mkfs.jffs2 already
usb_device.bin - some optional u-boot code. I'm not sure what this does.
strings in the binary and u-boot suggest that it's for
booting via usb or something like that
The rest could probably go.
There's also a newer version of u-boot under
https://code.google.com/p/snake-os/source/browse/u-boot
It runs and can load snake from flash, network and usb. But it's
still experminental. I don't know if you want to add it.
How could I get added to the project? I'm not familiar with github and
my knowledge of git is pretty basic too..
