Project Description

I want to extend my PoC at https://github.com/bmwiedemann/opensuse-redir-cache to provide efficient package downloads to zypper without extra support from the download.o.o server.

Goal for this Hackweek

I will ignore the caching part (because nginx can already do that) and concentrate on the redir logic, tracking mirror perfomance.

Resources

Looking for hackers with the skills:

perl curl http

    Create a page with all devel:languages:perl packages and their versions by tinita

    Description

    Perl projects now live in git: https://src.opensuse.org/perl

    It would be useful to have an easy way to check which version of which perl module is in devel:languages:perl. Also we have meta overrides and patches for various modules, and it would be good to have them at a central place, so it is easier to lookup, and we can share with other vendors.

    I did some initial data dump here a while ago: https://github.com/perlpunk/cpan-meta

    But I never had the time to automate this.

    I can also use the data to check if there are necessary updates (currently it uses data from download.opensuse.org, so there is some delay and it depends on building).

    Goals

    • Have a script that updates a central repository (e.g. https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_metadata) with metadata by looking at https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_ObsPrj (check if there are any changes from the last run)
    • Create a HTML page with the list of packages (use Javascript and some table library to make it easily searchable)

    pudc - A PID 1 process that barks to the internet by mssola

    Description

    As a fun exercise in order to dig deeper into the Linux kernel, its interfaces, the RISC-V architecture, and all the dragons in between; I'm building a blog site cooked like this:

    • The backend is written in a mixture of C and RISC-V assembly.
    • The backend is actually PID1 (for real, not within a container).
    • We poll and parse incoming HTTP requests ourselves.
    • The frontend is a mere HTML page with htmx.

    The project is meant to be Linux-specific, so I'm going to use io_uring, pidfs, namespaces, and Linux-specific features in order to drive all of this.

    I'm open for suggestions and so on, but this is meant to be a solo project, as this is more of a learning exercise for me than anything else.

    Goals

    • Have a better understanding of different Linux features from user space down to the kernel internals.
    • Most importantly: have fun.
