News

new (Debian):

  • libvpoll-eventfd, vdeplug-slirp, vdeplug-vdels, vdeplug-vlan, vdeplug-agno, vdeplug-pcap are now in SID.
  • libexecs package has been updated (converted to cmake and migrated to the virtualsquare team management)
  • fuse-umfuse-ext2, vdetelweb: debhelper updated.

We are ready for Bullseye freeze and release as stable.

new: libioth: The definitive API for the Internet of Threads

  • the API is minimal: Berkeley Sockets + msocket + newstack/delstack.
  • the stack implementation can be chosen as a plugin at run time.
  • netlink based stack/interface/ip configuration via nlinline.
  • ioth sockets are real file descriptors, poll/select/ppoll/pselect/epoll friendly
  • plug-ins are loaded in private address namespaces: libioth supports several stacks of the same type (same plugin) even if the stack implementation library was designed to provide just one stack.

new: vdeplug4, libpam-net ad umps3 are now in SID

As a consequence of vdeplug4, user-mode linux and virtualbox available in SID can now use the rich set of new vde plugins out of the box... pardon, out of the package. (qemu/kvm was already compatible).

new: vde-2 new packet is in Debian SID.

new: picotcp: picoTCP is a small-footprint, modular TCP/IP stack designed for embedded systems and the Internet of Things. There is also an exprerimental-still unofficial Debian package (on salsa) which generates/installs a shared library to support IoTh (Internet of Threads).

Warning: picotcp is not yet ready to enter Debian. We are working on it.

New: vufusearchive A `vufuse module based on libarchive: it supports tar/zip/iso (including compressed archives)

New: fusefatfs/vufusefatfs: FUSE/VUOS-vufuse module for FAT12/16/32 and exFAT.

New: The pages of the tutorials are almost complete. Give it a try, it is the third menu here above!

New vde_plug: vdesl.

This vde_plug creates a virtual point to point ethernet link over a serial line.

Example: connect the uart ports of two Raspberry PI boards (GND->GND, TXD->RXD, RXD->TXD).

The following command (on both RasPIs):

       sudo vde_plug -d tap://vdesl0 vdesl:///dev/ttyAMA0[speed=4000000]

creates a 4Mbps ethernet link connecting the two vdesl0 interfaces.

Debian

Warning: debhelper compat 5 and 6 are now planned for removal. V² packages affected: fuse-umfuse-ext2, vdetelweb.

TODO:

  • purelibc: FTBFS still pending a FTBFS error for riscv64

  • vuos: fix module/submodule install path to support multi arch. To be packaged

  • fusefatfs: to be packaged (after vuos?)

  • vufusearchive: to be packaged (after vuos).

  • libnlq: docs/man missing, to be packaged

  • nsutils? change cmdline syntax? convert from autotools to cmake. Is this meaningful in Debian? compare with lsns
