#1483064 OpenPLi 8.3 release beschikbaar

Posted by WanWizard on 19 September 2022 - 19:39

Wat is er nieuw aan, wat is er verbetert, wat is niet meer aanwezig, plugins vernieuwd of niet meer bruikbaar, kortom is er een lijst met de futures.

 

De release notes zullen binnenkort wel online komen.

Dat is op zich geen probleem, dat betekent dat de geselecteerde NTP server het even te druk heeft, en "nu even niet ja!" roept... ;)

 

Dit soort offsets is wat ik graag zou zien, rond de 0.01s,

Ik ben inmiddels door de 10-verschillen-lijst van OE heen, dus ook uit de basis in de eerstvolgende build.

Vooral met dank aan @Beeker, die heeft zeker een dikke veer in 't achterste verdiend !

#1481660 Who is Who in OpenPLi-land ?

Posted by WanWizard on 15 September 2022 - 15:15

Er valt op zich niet zo veel te vertellen.

 

Er is inderdaad een Vereniging PLi, met volledige rechtsbevoegdheid. Die is in het leven geroepen om drie redenen:

  • beheer van de financieen, werd nodig toen we het stadium "servertje thuis" ontgroeid waren en er kosten waren die gedekt moesten worden
  • rechtsbescherming, om persoonlijke aansprakelijkheid te voorkomen
  • formele contacten met fabrikanten en OEM's

Het had ook een stichting kunnen worden, maar het toenmalige "PLi team" zagen liever een vereniging met inspraak mogelijkheid. "Leden" werd dus ook eerder gezien als "zij die actief zijn voor het product", en niet "gebruikers van".

 

Inmiddels is bijna niemand van die oorspronkelijke club nog actief, dus eigenlijk is er alleen nog een bestuur dat bovenstaande punten afhandeld.

What is ruined where?

 

Instead of being sarcastic it would be better to be constuctive and point us to the mistake so it can be addressed.

Door de nieuwe structuur moeten de images nog gebouwd worden en daar gaat een hele tijd overheen. Zie de status rechtsboven op onze home pagina. Ergens morgen tegen de avond is het pas af… het is nu 43% gebouwd.

 

Kan zijn dat het langer duurt, er nogal wat issues met qtwebengine die eerst opgelost moeten worden, zowel qtwebengine als chromium bouwen niet zonder python2 support.




#1479872 End of an era

Posted by WanWizard on 8 September 2022 - 20:41

End of an era.
 

This weekend, we will officially retire Python version 2, and switch to Python version 3. The reason for this is very simple: version 2 has been end of support for quite some time.

 

There will be a final release based on version 2, created from the current Nightly Build, which will be 8.3-releasse. The version 3 codebase will become the basis for OpenPLi 9.

 

Wat does this mean?
 
For those of you running OpenPLi release images, absolutely nothing.
 
So for why is this relevant?
 
For those who are currently running either a Nightly Build image, or a Python 3 test image.
 
What is the impact?
 

We will start with removing both the Nightly Build and Python 3 test images, and their corresponding feeds, from the servers. Once done, those images can no longer be installed or updated.

 

After that new Nightly Build images will come online, using a Python 3 codebase, and a continuation of the current Python 3 test images. They will also be based on a new OE version.

 

For those who have installed either a Nightly Build or a Python 3 test image, it means you'll have to flash you box early next week.

 
Anything we should know?
 
Yes, absolutely!

 

Most of the day to day functions of the new Nightly Build will work fine, in as far we have been able to conclude from internal testing. But undoubtely there will be bugs, things we've missed when converting the codebase.,

 

We therefore ask everyone who can and want to test, to install a new Nightly Build image when they come online next week, and report any problems you encounter here:https://forums.openp...666-openpli-py3, accompanied with a problem description and preferably a log.
 

You will also notice that there will be a lot less plugins in the feed.

 

This is caused by the fact we have cleaned up our internal plugin repository, and removed everything that could no longer work, and because everything from the 3rd-party feed we only had as an ipk, not as source, and could therefore not be made compatible with Python 3.

 

So, the more people test, the quicker we can fix things, move on to a stable Nightly Build, and a release of OpenPLi 9.

 

We count on you !

The only possibly relevant part of that plugin is the option to install or remove any package from the feed (package management in advanced), for those that can't deal with a commandline.

 

Ideally, if that code could be moved to the current plugins code (there are still 2 colour buttons available), it could be retired. Currently it is still in the feed but no longer preinstalled.

In general NFS is faster than CIFS, less protocol overhead. That speed is quite decent given the age of the box and the slow USB port.

nfs client (from the box to an NFS server) yes, NFS server (from another client to the box) not without installing NFS server.

 

And yes, the USB ports of the box are slow, 25Mbps if you're lucky with a USB stick, probably a bit more with a disk.

Yes, by default samba is installed and every mount point is automatically defined as a CIFS share that you can access from any compatible device.

 

If you want NFS, you need to install NFS server first.

 

There is an howto available in our wiki: https://wiki.openpli.org/Data_sharing

There is no practical limit (well, there is, but is is exabytes). But the maximum partition size for the ext4 filesystem is 16TB, so that might as well be your problem.

How handy are you with the commandline ?
