La Fonera: A better way to enable RedBoot via Telnet / Ethernet (safely) [HowTo]
Posted by coldtobi | 21 Jan, 2008, 02:11Booting La Fonera -- Redboot Bootloader
RedBoot is the bootloader used in the La Fonera. As this bootloader can not only operate over RS232, it also can be configured to offer a simple -- but powerful -- dedicated shell over telnet / Ethernet. This is also true for the La Fonera, but has only one problem: It has no IP configured, therefore you cannot use it. We'll gonna change that now!

Ooops -- RSS was not working well
Posted by coldtobi | 15 Jan, 2008, 20:15Due a configuration error, all the RSSs where inaccessible. However, I wonder that it was undetected till now...
As I upgraded to the latest lifetype last summer, just symlinked the old directory to the new one to keep the old ones working. However, now I figured out, that this lead to a "Internal Server Error", because there was one slash to much in the path. Well, now its working again...
Internal Server Error
File "/srv/www//webXXX/html/lifetype-XXX/rss.php" is not in document root of Vhost "/srv/www/webXXX/html"
suPHP 0.6.2
Maybe just a bug in phpSU, as ASFAIK "//" should be fine, at least in a shell, it works.

Updated Navit [Updated debian files]
Posted by coldtobi | 10 Jan, 2008, 23:17
Navit has been updated upstream. Unfortunately this time it's harder to package.the "0.03". But I'm working on it!
Well, it was a stupd error, that caused the build failure. However, I solved it, and now my navit packages are updated.
Please not, that I did not package the latest stable, but the CVS version from Friday, January 11. But this is more an advantage, as since the release of the latest stable navigation software, much has been done and some interesting features had been addes.

Not all "defects" are security bugs
Posted by coldtobi | 9 Jan, 2008, 08:54
Today's slashdot is linking to an interesting article on Information Week, the analyzed took the results of an DHS (Department of Homeland Security) Scan about some used FOSS-Software.
Its especially interesting for me, as they used Coverity, a static code analyzing tool, which I came across not long ago during the Embedded World last year A like system is used in our company for automotive embedded software analyzises, so I know how these software works and how the reports looks like. .
