Multi-User Subversion
chromatic writes "Rafael Garcia-Suarez has just penned an article about adopting Subversion for multi-user projects. (He also has a previous article on Single-User Subversion). With the recent release of Subversion 0.16 (see the File sharing link), the successor to CVS looks very good." -
IRIX Multithreading Emulation on NetBSD
GrosBill writes "Onlamp publishes one more paper about IRIX binary compatibility implementation on NetBSD. This time, this is about emulating IRIX native multithreading capabilities on NetBSD, which is quite interesting since NetBSD does not support native multithreading for its native binaries yet. The paper also covers some reverse engineering tricks: how to use a debugger to discover everything about IRIX multithreading." -

What's the Best Server for Home Use?
vrmlguy writes "I've seen recent posts about low-power, off-grid computing and about small systems, but neither quite captures the object of my desire. I'm looking for the ideal LAMP-based server for home use. Cost of ownership (though not TCO!) is one of my primary concerns, followed closely by reliability. Here's my idea of the perfect server. The software requirements are easy. I want to run Slash, WIKI and/or blogging software that I and my family can access worldwide. The system should be able to keep up with requests coming in via DSL or cable-modem, but doesn't need to withstand slashdotting. There are Linux-based systems available for under $200, which appeal to me as a low-cost base. I would want to add at least one additional disk for OS-level RAID. Also, since this is a server, it will need to be available 24x7, which could run up my electric bill. Therefore, I'm willing to spend a bit more for something that supports a 'napping' mode that can, say, spin down the disks and slow down the CPU, but still respond to web-page requests. Are there systems available that do what I need at a price I can afford?" -
A Paper on IRIX Binary Compatibility in NetBSD
jschauma writes "'IRIX Binary Compatibility', the first paper of a series on IRIX binary compatibility on NetBSD by Emmanuel Dreyfus has been published by ONLamp.com. The paper goes into the details of the implementation in the NetBSD kernel. As it explains how things are implemented, the paper documents various kernel susbsystems and reverse engineering techniques." -

How bnetd Developers Reverse Engineered Battle.net
battlebot writes: "O'Reilly's ONlamp.com is running an interview with the bnetd developers that goes into great detail about how exactly they reverse-engineered Battle.net. This is by the same guy who wrote the recent Salon article, though is far more technical. They talk a little bit about their legal troubles too, and even sheepishly admit that perhaps talking to a lawyer earlier in the process would have been a good idea. Has this project been successfully squashed?" -

Chromatic On The Wiki Plugin For Slash
lisam writes: "The Wiki plugin integrates nicely with Slash and has a lot of cool features, says Chromatic who introduces Wikis and gives a detailed explanation of how and why the Wiki plugin works in this OnLamp article. (chromatic is coauthor of O'Reilly's upcoming Running Weblogs with Slash.)" A lot of people just think of Slashdot style sites when thinking of the Slash codebase, but this article goes on about how to extend slash in cool ways. If you are interested in plugins, the repository is a good place to start. -

Running Windows Apps in FreeBSD
LiquidPC writes "ONLamp.com has a detailed new article on setting up and using Windows Applications in WINE, one of the many FreeBSD ports you could have alot of fun with. It also suggests going to WineHQ to find out which programs will work in wine, and which ones will not, so you dont have to waste all your time testing." -

mod_mp3 Introduction
dam_ned writes: "O'reilly has put a nice introduction to mod_mp3 online. Mod_mp3 is an apache module that offers shoutcast/icecast like mp3 and Ogg Vorbis streaming, and allows for playlists via frontends like ampache. The project is only a few months old, but it's quite stable, and has far more features than shoutcast/icecast." Heh. You might recognize Brian Aker, aka "krow", from his work on Slash. -

Implementing Linux Compatibility For NetBSD/PPC
Emmanuel Dreyfus writes: "Linux Compatibility on BSD for the PPC platform is a three-part series of articles published at O'Reilly's ONLamp.com. The series is intended to document various parts of the emulation subsystem, and to highlight some architecture-dependent issues that can arise in argument passing, signal handling, and with the way some system calls work. The first article is now available, with the others to follow soon." Though the article cautions that it is intended for the technically astute, it includes a very lucid description of what emulation requires, and how it actually works. -

Stack-Hacker Itojun Talks About IPv6
Alert reader Sin Yuhara writes: "I've encountered [an interview in which] Jun-ichiro "itojun" Ogino(KAME Project Core/NetBSD Core/FreeBSD Comitter) talks about IPv6. The KAME IPv6 [?] stack is very well known in the BSD world and beyond. I'm sure IPv6 and related stuff must deploy, and this article may help all people." It's a really good read -- itojun talks about the IPv6 tools that are already integrated into the various BSD systems, about the need for ever more testing, and about why Japan rocks.
