Planning for Ubuntu Edgy: A mid-week report from the Ubuntu developer's conference
Thursday June 22, 2006 (04:00 PM GMT)
By: Benjamin Mako Hill
PARIS -- On Monday of this week, more than 60 Ubuntu developers gathered in a hotel near Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport to plan Ubuntu's next release, codenamed Edgy Eft. The goal of the meeting is to set the goals for the upcoming release and to chart the set of steps that will be necessary to implement it.
Ubuntu's last release, 6.06 Long Term Support (LTS) was codenamed the Dapper Drake. It was designed to be a well-polished and well-supported release befitting its long lifecycle, and by most accounts it has succeeded.
On the other hand, Mark Shuttleworth's announcement of Edgy set different goals for the upcoming release:Edgy is all about cutting edge, perhaps bleeding edge, brand new code and infrastructure. It will be the right time to bring in some seriously interesting but definitely edgy new technologies which lay the groundwork for the next wave of Ubuntu development.
Perhaps more importantly, while Ubuntu developers and the community decided to delay the release of Dapper by six full weeks to focus on quality assurance and polish, they agreed to make up for the delay in by slashing the Edgy release preparation period by a quarter. Edgy aims to take Ubuntu in some new, interesting directions -- and to do so at a breakneck pace.
Shuttleworth and Ubuntu technical board chair Matt Zimmerman are already quietly warning that Edgy may be "rougher" than previous Ubuntu releases, although they do not see this a liability; users can continue using Dapper with full support for a three to five years. Developers, however, will be able to use the window of long-term stability offered by Dapper to explore new and more risky choices in the Edgy time frame.
Dapper crowned a successful two-year period of growth for the Ubuntu project. Just as Ubuntu's first release, the Warty Warthog, broke new ground for GNU/Linux distributions while risking a few warts, Edgy aims to push development "to the edge."
At the time of writing, there are more than 170 identified goals under discussion at the Paris developer summit. Only a portion of these are marked as high priority, few have moved past the stage of "braindump," and only a handful have been approved. These specifications provide an idea of where Ubuntu might go in the next release. Of course, no promises are being made -- officially or unofficially.
A number of interesting feature goals stand a decent chance of being implemented in the Edgy release.
A cleaner house
While the software distributed with and supported in Ubuntu has only grown in size over the last four releases, core developers are taking advantage of the opportunity in Edgy to audit the list of supported packages and to make bold decisions that aim to build a smaller, stronger, and more well supported distribution around an updated list of software.
Ubuntu's priorities have changed over the last two years -- as has role of the desktop and supported lists of packages and of the universe component and the process of support. The Ubuntu core developers aim to revisit the lists of packages with all of this in mind.
Polish and consistency
Several specs under discussion involve improving polish and consistency on the Ubuntu desktop through pervasive and invasive types changes. One good example is a suggestion to to include consistent tab behavior across applications on the Ubuntu desktop.
Firefox, Gaim, GNOME Terminal, and other applications implement tabs with different key-bindings and interaction techniques. The Ubuntu developers are considering making changes to these applications in Edgy to make this behavior more consistent. Similar types of polish aim to improve user experience in other important ways.
Xen-enabled kernels by default
The kernel team is looking seriously at shipping kernels with Ubuntu that can be used with Xen without modifications as a way of making effortless virtualization an option for any Ubuntu user that wants to take advantage of it.
Widespread accessibility improvements
Ubuntu has, since day one, made accessibility support one of its most important philosophical goals. Led in large part by a big push by Henrik Nilsen Omma, Edgy aims to improve the state of accessibility in Ubuntu by including some of the best and most cutting edge accessibility tools in the free software world. This includes software to take advantage of hardware video acceleration for screen magnification and evaluation and integration of a whole set of next-generation tools for screen-reading and more. In addition to this being the right thing to do, it will open doors to Ubuntu in government and big business environments.
File type magic
Several goals discussed mapping unknown or unsupported files types to the applications necessary to run them in the Ubuntu package database. Just as Firefox can suggest and install software to help view unsupported media, the next version of Ubuntu may be able to suggest and install software necessary to support media and other types of files when a user does not have the necessary software installed.
GCC-SSP
Core developers are making a plan for the integration of GCC with "stack-smashing protector" into the distribution. SSP is an option on top of the GNU C Compiler which proactively blocks a wide number of buffer overflows; the end result is software that is proactively secure.
SSP has already been integrated into several other operating systems. Rather than building everything with SSP in Edgy, Ubuntu will probably experiment with SSP for many selected packages and then, once the team has worked the kinks out, will apply it to the whole archive for the release after Edgy.
Enterprise Grade Commercial Support
Through a number of specifications, Canonical seems to be gearing up for a serious push in providing improved support for Ubuntu. While the support seems to largely geared around supporting the Dapper Drake release, and not Edgy itself, Canonical Ltd. seems to interested in making a series of large investments into building infrastructure for community support and offering more traditional professional and enterprise support of the type offered by other "mainstream" distributions.
SMART Package Manager
SMART is a new package manager written from scratch in Python. It is able to deal with RPMs, Debian, and Slackware packages at the same time and includes a series of improved algorithms for resolving package dependency issues. Already in use by several other distributions, Ubuntu is looking at rolling out SMART as an option in Edgy. Once a list of issues are resolved in the Edgy and Edgy+1 time frames, the team plans to work on integrating SMART more fully into the project.
Conspicuously missing from the list of likely features is the crowd-pleasing Xgl. It, or the alternative AIGLX, might end up in the release but there don't seem to plans on doing it at the moment and the release schedule leaves little room for changes of heart.
The conference will continue through Friday, June 23. The list of full specifications can be read viewed on the Ubuntu Development Summit Web page. A second report on the conference will be released here after the conferences conclusion.
Upcoming Release of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
July 24th, 2006
The Debian project confirms December 2006 as the date for the next release of its distribution which will be named Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias 'etch'. This will be the first official release to include the AMD64 architecture. The distribution will be released synchronously for 11 architectures in total.
At this stage, the upcoming release will ship with Linux 2.6.17 as its default kernel. This kernel will be used across all architectures and on the installer. A later version may be selected during a review in October.
New features of this release include the GNU Compiler Collection 4.1 as default compiler. X.Org will replace XFree86 as implementation of the X Window System X11. Secure APT will add extra security by easily supporting strong cryptography and digital signatures to validate downloaded packages.
Bug Squashing Parties
A number of real-life bug squashing parties will happen before the new distribution is released in order to squash as many of the open release-critical bugs as possible. They will be held in different cities so that many people can participate in real-life.
Interested people who cannot join the developers in the respective cities are invited to join the #debian-bugs channel on irc.debian.org and participate online.

Hello everybody out there using minix -
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things).
I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)
Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)
PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

Linux s'appelle dès sa première version publique ainsi, mais il devait s'appeler Freax (combinaison de freaks, free, et X). Ari Lemmke (professeur à l'université et programmeur) qui avait encouragé Linus à le distribuer publiquement afin de recevoir des retours, n'était pas très content du nom et quand il lui a créé le répertoire FTP sur les serveurs de l'université, pour héberger le téléchargement, il l'a nommé (sans doute temporairement) linux.
Ari a ainsi au moins une ligne assez unique qu'il peut ajouter à son cv:

Linux Watch a écrit:Sep. 15, 2006
According to police in Oakland Calif., Nina Reiser, the estranged wife of well-known open-source programmer Hans Reiser, has been missing since Sept. 3. Hans Reiser (pictured here) is the founder of Namesys and creator and primary developer of the highly popular ReiserFS Linux filesystem.
The ReiserFS filesystem, while its lastest version Reiser4 is not part of the Linux kernel, is well-regarded for its outstanding performance. Consequently, these days, Reiser4 is almost always an option in commercial and community Linux distributions, and is the default for some.
Bay Area news reports state that "Police have still not been able to contact Hans Reiser since Sept. 5 to speak with him about his wife's disappearance. Police believe he is the last person to have seen his wife before she was reported missing on Sept. 4."
Hans Reiser's attorney, William Dubois, has denied that Mr. Reiser was avoiding the police. "I've called police several times during the week and offered to make the client available and they just blow it off," Dubois reportedly said.
Nina Reiser had dropped off their children at Mr. Reiser's home in Oakland's Montclair area, but never returned to pick them up. Her car was later found abandoned in another part of Montclair, according to reports.
At this time, the police are still treating the matter as a missing person case. Nevertheless, according to the San Jose Mercury News, Oakland police have searched Mr. Reiser's house and have used a cadaver dog in their search. Mr. Reiser has not been named a suspect in the case.
The Reisers were married in 1999 but had separated by 2004. The divorce, which has not been finalized, has been a bitter affair. Custody of their two children had reportedly also become a major issue.
The legal costs, and the low rewards from open-source programming, had also been upsetting Mr. Reiser. In a 2005 email conversation, he wrote, "Free software is not a good way to make money. We as a society don't create rewards for it. We could, but we don't. We could create a system in which hardware was taxed and the users allocated the taxes to the software they use, and that would fix the problem."
"So, when I go to conferences, and people say odd things like 'It is an honor to meet you.,' doing free software is great, but in the Alameda County courts, if you don't have money, you are s***," he added.
Their children are currently in the custody of Child Protective Services.
Michael Robertson's MP3.com was one of the original financing companies for ReiserFS and his Linux company, Linspire, has remained a strong sponsor for ReiserFS.
Kevin Carmony, CEO of Linspire, said, "Hans is a brilliant guy, and has been a real asset to Linux with his work on ReiserFS. I certainly hope this all resolves well, but I'm not getting a very good feeling about it."
Linux-Watch has tried to reach Mr. Reiser but has been unable to contact him.
Anyone with information concerning Nina Reiser is asked to call Oakland police at 510-777-3333 or a special tip line at 510-637-0298.
