La semaine passée, Gentoo Linux était présente à la LinuxWorld Expo dans le pavillon .org. Gentoo Linux 1.4 est sortie à l'occasion du premier jour d'exposition et 300 CDs ont été distribués en seulement 4 heures. Des CDs étaient disponibles pour architecture Pentium III, Pentium 4, Athlon XP et PPC. Tous nos visiteurs ont reçu une description enthousiaste de Gentoo ainsi que des dépliants sur Gentoo, sur le projet de clustering de Gentoo et le projet Hardened Gentoo.

De nombreuses démonstrations ont eu lieu sur notre stand. Quelques machines x86 tournaient une version béta du jeu Savage qui sera bientôt disponible. Gentoo Linux sur PPC était présentée sur un Mac G3 et un iBook. Sun Microsystems nous ont gracieusement prêté un Ray 150 que nous avons ajouté à nos démonstrations après avoir installé Gentoo dessus. Nous avons aussi montré localement un cluster Gentoo installé ailleurs ainsi qu'une installation de Hardened Gentoo.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié de pouvoir rencontrer des utilisateurs de Gentoo, de les écouter nous raconter leurs expériences et nous complimenter. Nous avons ainsi pu mettre des visages sur les pseudos et établir de nouveaux liens avec des utilisateurs et d'autres groupes présents à l'expo.

La tombola organisée à la fin de la conférence a permis à Nathan Chilton et à Muthuvale Shanmugam de remporter respectivement un système Pentium 4 et une imprimante Epson. Toutes nos félicitations aux gagnants !

Gentoo Documentation Project recherche un nouveau responsable des traductions en néerlandais

Le responsable actuel des traductions en néerlandais, Sven Vermeulen, a décidé de quitter ce poste pour se concentrer pleinement sur ses activités de gestionnaire opérationnel du projet de documentation Gentoo. Nous le remercions pour son travail dans l'équipe néerlandophone. Nous recherchons dès lors un nouveau responsable des traductions en néerlandais. Il devra coordonner les traductions, les vérifier et les placer dans le CVS pour qu'elles soient disponibles sur le site web. Le candidat devra maîtriser l'anglais et le néerlandais écrits. La connaissance de XML et CVS est un plus mais peut être acquise après l'entrée en fonction si nécessaire. Les intéressés peuvent envoyer un courriel à Sven.

Forum Web

Graver sans émulation SCSI

Depuis la version 2.0, cdrtools ne nécessite plus l'option d'émulation SCSI du noyau pour graver des CD-Rs. Lisez ce fil de discussion pour en savoir plus.

• Kernel SCSI emulation for CD burning - the truth

Liste gentoo-user

Gentoo sur des serveurs

Michel Dicroci, collaborateur sur la liste de diffusion, a posé une question que beaucoup d'administrateurs Linux se posent : "Gentoo est-elle suffisamment stable pour être utilisée sur un serveur ?" La réponse fut un oui massif et entraîna une discussion sur les paramètres de ~arch et autres conseils pour des serveurs sous Gentoo. Voyez ici.

Le projet GLIS recherche des développeurs

Promis à un bel avenir, le projet GLIS (Gentoo Linux Installation Script) recherche des programmeurs pour développer l'interface. La discussion qui a commencé comme une simple demande d'aide, a, fidèlement à la tradition Open Source, rapidement dégénéré en une suite de suggestions et d'idées pour améliorer le projet. Cette discussion a été une des plus actives sur la liste gentoo-user cette semaine. Lisez tout sur le projet GLIS, puis voyez la discussion.

Liste gentoo-dev

Etes-vous plus ou moins conservatif ?

Jani Monoses a demandé des explications sur les choix de masquage des paquets. Différentes opinions quant à la signification précise du masquage ont été émises.

9.  Trucs et astuces

Utiliser script

Cette semaine, nous vous montrons comment utiliser script pour sauver ou partager tout ce qui s'affiche pendant une session sur un terminal. Cela peut être un bon moyen de montrer à distance comment utiliser la ligne de commande. C'est aussi un moyen de garder une trace de ce que vous faites ou avez fait dans une session.

Regardons d'abord comment garder une trace de vos actions. Il suffit d'entrer la commande script. Tout le texte affiché sera sauvé dans un fichier nommé typescript. Si vous voulez nommer le fichier, utilisez script nom_du_fichier.

% script
Script started, file is typescript
% uptime
 13:27:53 up 89 days,  3:50,  1 user,  load average: 0.27, 0.35, 0.29
% uname -srvmpio
Linux 2.4.20-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP Fri May 9 08:54:35 EDT 2003 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM)
 CPU 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
% exit
Script done, file is typescript

Ensuite, le fichier de la session peut être lu avec des commandes telles que more, less ou cat.

% more typescript
Script started on Wed Aug  6 13:27:47 2003
% uptime
 13:27:53 up 89 days,  3:50,  1 user,  load average: 0.27, 0.35, 0.29
% uname -srvmpio
Linux 2.4.20-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP Fri May 9 08:54:35 EDT 2003 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM)
 CPU 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
% exit

Script done on Wed Aug  6 13:28:01 2003

Regardons maintenant comment partager une session. Le plus facile est d'utiliser script avec mkfifo qui crée un named pipe. Remarquez qu'il faut utiliser l'option -f (script -f) pour provoquer l'envoi du texte au fur et à mesure. De cette façon, le texte entré par l'utilisateur A est vu pratiquement en temps réel par l'utilisateur B.

% mkfifo demo; script -f demo
Script started, file is demo
% echo 'Hello World'
Hello World
% exit
Script done, file is demo

% cat demo
Script started on Wed Aug  6 13:48:51 2003
% echo 'Hello World'
Hello World
% exit

Script done on Wed Aug  6 13:49:04 2003

Il y a beaucoup d'autres utilisations de script. Ceci devrait au moins vous aider à démarrer.
