Turtle Kevux 0.8.11 ChangeLog
Turtle 0.8.11 ChangeLog
To be Released in April 2009
Fixes of Turtle 0.8.10 Problems
* Fixed the Alt+Tab issue; this was a result of a misinterpretation of what was needed to be done to get the XKB to work.
* Fixed an issue with the boot process where the firewall start/stop script was not changed when the firewall parameters were not changed, causing the firewall to not be turned on.
* Fixed an issue where mpd would cause the system to never reboot! (a problem with the initng boot scripts not handling respawn properly)
* Fix a serious (yet simple) screwup with the initng rules that was failing to start the firewall on boot!!
* Fixed the problem with the scripting engine that results in the /checksum/lib using md5 checksums instead of sha256 checksums as it is with all of the other checksums.
* Fixed improper / missing group permissions for version script: (/bin/version), the group permissions should be r-x and not ---
OLPC
* Add setolpckeys to enable special olpckeys
* Add udev rule to enable dynamic calling of setolpckeys
Logging
* Implemented basic traffic logging in both the metalog and iptables firewall scripts
Linux Kernel
* Update to latest kernel series
* Re-configure kernel rules
* Change AOE to be modular (was compiled in) to reduce very minor network broadcast spamming when AOE is not needed
Firewall
* Correct some comments
* Fix a typo in the firewall settings where 4951 should be 49151, which resulted in openning up ports that should not be opened
* Add basic traffic logging
* For whatever reason /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range defines the range to be at max 61000, so break the "all other ports" sections into two ranges 32768->61000 and 61001->65535
TKIS
* Added subversion support, primarily to make kernel upgrades easier
* That is, the patches and premade config files for 2.6.27 series can use a 2.6.27 prefix instead of something like 2.6.27.1 so that any 2.6.27.* should work with renaming or copying the existing patches
Pidgin
* Added facebook plugin
* Added RSA encryption plugin
Multimedia
* Fixed pkgconfig/dependency issues that were not noticed before
* Updated mpd
* Added dependencies of the newer mpd such as libshout
* Other misc fixes to some multimedia libraries & packages
