We must regain control! 6 What’s wrong with Apt/Yum/Pacman/etc.? Global state (/usr) that prevents multiple versions of a package from coexisting. Non-atomic installation, removal, upgrade of software. No way to roll back. Nondeterminstic package builds and maintainer-uploaded binaries. (though this is changing!) Reliance on pre-built binaries provided by a single point of trust. Requires superuser privileges. 7 The problem is bigger Proliferation of language-specific package managers and binary bundles that complicate secure system maintenance.

  • UNIX and High-Level Language Education Using Windows Operating Systems
    UNIX and High-level Language Education Using Windows Operating Systems R. W. Skeith M. A. Thornton Department of Computer Engineering Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Arkansas Mississippi State University 313 Engineering Hall ECE Dept., P. O. Box 9571 Fayetteville, AR 72701-1201 Miss. State, MS. 39762-9571 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Entering and continuing engineering students need to learn skills in the use of high-level languages and the use of the UNIX operating system [1] including the development of shell scripts. In the past, this requirement has been very challenging to educators since it requires access to a laboratory containing (sometimes expensive) computers that are UNIX-based workstations. The widespread availability of the LINUX operating system [2] helps to alleviate this problem somewhat since the operating system is free and associated high-level language compilers are also freely available through the GNU project [3]. Unfortunately, the skills required to successfully install and use LINUX often precludes its use as a classroom tool that students can easily maintain. An alternative and free solution based on the use of a UNIX emulator that runs under Microsoft Windows operating systems is described here. INTRODUCTION Recently, several UNIX emulators that are easily installed and used under the Microsoft Operating Systems (OS) commonly referred to as “Windows” have become available [4,5,6,7]. This paper describes the authors’ experiences in using these tools in an undergraduate setting for the purpose of teaching the use of UNIX and various high-level languages such as PERL, FORTRAN, C and C++.

About the Free Software Foundation The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is dedicated to eliminating restrictions on copying, redistribution, understanding, and modification of computer programs. We do this by promoting the development and use of free software in all areas of computing---but most particularly, by helping to develop the GNU operating system. Many organizations distribute whatever free software happens to be available. In contrast, the Free Software Foundation concentrates on development of new free software---and on making that software into a coherent system that can eliminate the need to use proprietary software. Besides developing GNU, FSF distributes copies of GNU software and manuals for a distribution fee, and accepts tax-deductible gifts to support GNU development.

It examines the social and technological requirements of cooperation in parallel for writing and considers the effectiveness of existing technologies ability to address them. It then presents the design and evaluation of TextNet: a wiki for document writing that uses techniques from software development including branch creation and tracking features and introduces a text-specific interface for merging changes and representing and resolving conflicts.

  • ELF Handling for Thread-Local Storage
    ELF Handling For Thread-Local Storage Ulrich Drepper, Red Hat Inc. [email protected] Version 0.20 December 21, 2005 Based on: Intel Itanium Processorspecific Application Binary Interface, May 2001, Document Number: 245370-003 Thread-Local Storage, Version 0.68, Sun Microsystems, September 4, 2001 1 Motivation Increasing use of threads lead developers to wish for a better way of dealing with thread-local data. The POSIX thread interface defines interfaces which allow storing void * objects separate for each thread. But the interface is cumbersome to use. A key for the object has to be allocated dynamically at run-time. If the key isn’t used anymore it must be freed. While this is already a lot of work and error prone it becomes a real problem when combined with dynamically loaded code. To counter these problems it was decided to extend the programming languages to let the compiler take over the job. For C and C++ the new keyword thread can be used in variable definitions and declarations. This is not an official extension of the language but compiler writers are encouraged to implement them to support the new ABI. Variables defined and declared this way would automatically be allocated local to each thread: __thread int i; __thread struct state s; extern __thread char *p; The usefulness of this is not limited to user-programs. The run-time environment can also take advantage of it (e.g., the global variable errno must be thread-local) and compilers can perform optimizations which create non-automatic variables. Note that adding thread to the definition of an automatic variable makes no sense and is not allowed since automatic variables are always thread-local.
