After the Update to Fedora 20 I forgot to update the linker to Gold. Today I released that linking Samba is horribly slow. Time to change the linker to Gold again: Fedora: ll /etc/alternatives/ld /usr/sbin/alternatives –set ld /usr/bin/ld.gold openSUSE: ll /etc/alternatives/ld /usr/sbin/update-alternatives –set ld /usr/bin/ld.gold To still build a special project with ld.bfd use: LDFLAGS=”-fuse-ld=bfd”

on one single machine! FOSDEM/Brussels, February 2nd, I gave a talk about cwrap. I announced and released version 1.0.0 of cwrap, a set of tools to create a fully isolated network environment to test client/server components on a single host. It provides synthetic account information, hostname resolution and privilege separation support. The heart of cwrap consists of three libraries you can preload to any executable....

After another development cycle, this time of 2,5 years, the libssh Team is proud to announce version 0.6.0 of libssh. The most important functionality which has been added is a new callback-based server API. Also we added ECDSA support and a new algorithm called for key exchange to have something better than the NIST curves. OpenSSH also uses as the default for key...
I spent the day to look at tmux and vim and found a lot of great plugins. What I really like for tmux and also vim is powerline. Powerline is a status-line and prompts utility to change the look and feel of your vim or tmux status lines. It looks like this: It consists of a special font, a python tool and plugins for applications....
If you build Android or CyanogenMod and you run into issues with HashSet_jni.h you need the following changes to the chromium_org project: diff –git a/base/android/jni_generator/jni_generator.py b/base/android/jni_generator/jni_generator.py index de865d5..d4a2324 100755 — a/base/android/jni_generator/jni_generator.py +++ b/base/android/jni_generator/jni_generator.py @@ -555,18 +555,21 @@ class JNIFromJavaSource(object): contents) return JNIFromJavaSource(contents, fully_qualified_class) +def MultipleReplace(string, rep_dict): + pattern = re.compile(“|”.join([re.escape(k) for k in rep_dict.keys()]), re.M) + return pattern.sub(lambda x: rep_dict[x.group(0)], string) class InlHeaderFileGenerator(object): “””Generates an...

Since some hours is the default KEX in OpenSSH! Several weeks ago Aris added a new Elliptic Curve algorithm for key exchange using Curve25519. After he wrote some kind of a RFC and implemented it in libssh he started to suggest a patch for OpenSSH which finally has been integrated.
I’ve updated my PGP key. I’ve signed it with my old key. You can find the key here. The fingerprint of the new key is: 8DFF 53E1 8F2A BC8D 8F3C 9223 7EE0 FC4D CC01 4E3D
For the SSH Library we try to keep up with OpenSSH features and implement the most important stuff. After what we read about the NSA and NIST it became clear that the new ECDSA support we added in libssh 0.6.0rc1 needs new curves. So Aris implemented and wrote a draft. At the same time he implemented the first draft and you can find the...

Finally after 3 years there is a new version of csync available. csync is a file synchronizer especially designed for you, the normal user. About two years ago, Klaas started to use csync as the backend for the owncloud sync client. The last years we added a lot of features, improved our test framework and fixed several bugs. I have to thank Klaas for all...
