[GSoC 2018: XFS support] Week #7 and #8

Blog post by abx1 on Mon, 2018-07-02 21:28

Hi all, I have been reading through the XFS documentation and looking more into the on-disk structures. Previously, I had looked into AG inode management, but not inode core structure. So I thought it would be better to look into how files, directories and links are stored on disk with inodes. I implemented struct xfs_dinode_core, the core part of the inode, which includes stat data information about data and attribute forks.

Blog post by PulkoMandy on Mon, 2018-07-02 13:26

Hi there, I'm back for an activity report! Let's see what happened last month. This report covers hrev51986-52054 Donations and funding I just wanted to note that the 5 Haiku contributors who joined Liberapay are now part of a "team". In case you missed it, Liberapay is a way to donate money to some Haiku contributors directly. They are an open source project, funded themselves by donations from their users, and with an interesting approach to funding free software and other commons creations.

[GSoC 2018 - TrackGit] Progress Report 9

Blog post by hrily on Mon, 2018-07-02 18:00

This is the ninth progress report for TrackGit project. I did the following in last week. Implemented Pull command I implemented the equivalent of git pull. The implementation was a little trickier as there was no direct API for pull in libgit2. The git pull command is combination of a fetch and then a merge. In merge there are three cases: Repository up to date Fast forward Merge commit The merge commit can lead to conflicts.

Hello everyone! Here’s the update of week #6, in the last update we were not able to access the registers. When we tried mapping it, there were all zeros. so we knew there’s something wrong in the way we were accessing the register and in between this we got to know that qemu emulation for sdhc hardware only supports spec version 2 and 3 and the spec which we intended to implement was 4.

[NOTICE] Data Security Incident

Blog post by kallisti5 on Mon, 2018-06-25 18:51

This afternoon, I noticed some strange heavy load on our Postgres database. After some initial investigation, it was discovered that a server misconfiguration left our Postgres database open to the internet since late January 2018. Impact Translation services (i18n.haiku-os.org) Email addresses Hashed passwords (old accounts sha1, newer accounts pbkdf2_sha256) Trac (dev.haiku-os.org) Usernames Some emails (based on last session age) We got extremely lucky that user passwords were not contained in the database for Trac.

This is the eighth progress report for TrackGit project. I did the following in last week. Implemented Commit command I implemented the equivalent of git commit in TrackGit. The implementation was a little bit trickier because libgit2 used a different logic when the commit is first or non-first. The link to commit. Below is a screenshot of Commit window. Added test for commit command I also added the test case for commit command.

[GSoC 2018: SDHCI MMC Driver]: Second Phase Outline

Blog post by krish_iyer on Thu, 2018-06-14 11:51

Hey, folks! So we are at the end of first phase of the project and I had expected that I would be able to implement PIO but it seems that I have lagged a bit. Till now we have got our controller driver setting up the mmc bus and mmc disk driver to publish a slot. To implement PIO before DMA, also requires register mapping which we are currently working on.

This is the sixth progress report for TrackGit project. I did the following in last week. Addressed Stephen’s comments My mentor Stephen had put up few comments on my commits so far. I addressed them earlier this week. You can have a look at the comments thread here and here. Made clone process threaded The initial implementation of clone was blocking the UI thread. I used the pthread library to make the clone processes threaded.

[GSoC 2018: SDHCI MMC Driver]: Week #5

Blog post by krish_iyer on Mon, 2018-06-11 18:34

Hey, here I am with another update! Last time I mentioned about splitting up the module but due to time constraint we agreed to skip that currently and move forward. After setting up the bus, I thought it would be bus manager which needs to be setted up for data transfer and other read and write operations but it turns out to few things which need to be done before that and it’s actually not the bus manager who do these operations, it will just create an instance of the interrupts and the operations to be done, and call back after it’s done.
