Announce and release GNU Boot 0.1 RC2 and project status.
The file adding the news is named gnuboot-december-2023.md instead of gnuboot-0.1-rc1.md as the later is understood as a translation in the '1-rc1' lang. Renaming the file to gnuboot-0.1-rc1.en.md instead makes untitled detect the lang correctly but then it assumes this is a translation and adds a broken link for "English" on the new page. For now the older Libreboot news were kept as this shows the history of the project and since GNU Boot is a continuation of the Libreboot project it makes sense to also keep them. The CSS also needed to be separated from the template because otherwise the generated news page would be incomplete and miss all what comes before the CSS like '<!DOCTYPE html>' for instance. Finally x-reviewed was changed into x-unreviewed because we can't set x-reviewed for the news, so the only way to remove the banner for the individual news is to default to reviewed (and to mark all unreviewed files as such). As for the Untitled patch it is needed to make the news page work. Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org> Acked-by: Adrien 'neox' Bourmault <neox@gnu.org>

GNU Boot December 2023 News
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
Announcements:
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
The last project announcement was made in the gnuboot mailing
|
||||
list[1][2] at a time where we didn't have a website or an announce
|
||||
mailing list yet.
|
||||
|
||||
So this announce and the next ones will be published in multiple
|
||||
places:
|
||||
|
||||
- On the gnuboot[3] and gnuboot-announce[4] mailing lists
|
||||
|
||||
- On the GNU Boot website[5].
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Boot 0.1 RC2:
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
We just released GNU Boot 0.1 RC2. We also need help from testers for
|
||||
this release, especially because few intrusive changes were made.
|
||||
|
||||
Website:
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Since the last announce a lot of work was done on the code to deploy
|
||||
the website to make to make it easy for contributors and maintainers
|
||||
to do changes to the website and review them.
|
||||
|
||||
The website has also been published. Not everything is ready in
|
||||
it, but it contains enough to understand how to contribute to GNU Boot.
|
||||
|
||||
The pages that are not ready yet were also published with a special
|
||||
banner to indicate that.
|
||||
|
||||
Since we now have a website, contribution instructions[6], and even a
|
||||
list of areas where we are looking for contributions[6], we can now
|
||||
accept patches.
|
||||
|
||||
The website is also now integrated in the GNU Boot source code and we
|
||||
have special code to make it easy to test it locally (and deploy it
|
||||
semi-automatically). So it should make contributions easier.
|
||||
|
||||
Testing:
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
We would also like to thank all the people who tested GNU Boot 0.1 RC1
|
||||
since the last announce, especially since this can be a lot of
|
||||
work, especially because there are many computers to test.
|
||||
|
||||
The following computers were tested with GNU Boot 0.1 RC1 and they all
|
||||
boot fine:
|
||||
* Lenovo Thinkpad R400, T400, T500, T60, W500, X60, X60T, X200, X301
|
||||
* Asus: KGPE-D16
|
||||
* Apple: MacBook 2.1
|
||||
|
||||
Since some popular computers were tested[7], we are now also looking
|
||||
for testers and contributions on the installation instructions. Even
|
||||
if GNU Boot 0.1 RC2 has already been published, it's probably easier
|
||||
to do the tests with GNU Boot 0.1 RC1 and a computer that was already
|
||||
tested as there is no changes that could affect the installation
|
||||
instructions between 0.1 RC1 and 0.1 RC2.
|
||||
|
||||
The following computers / mainboards weren't tested yet with the 0.1
|
||||
RC1 yet so we also need testers for them (ideally on the 0.1 RC2):
|
||||
|
||||
* Chromebook: C201
|
||||
* Intel: D410PT, D510MO, D945GCLF2D
|
||||
* Gigabyte: D945GCLF, GA-G41M-ES2L
|
||||
* Asus: KCMA-D8, KFSN4-DRE
|
||||
* Apple: MacBook 1.1, iMac 5,2
|
||||
* Lenovo Thinkpads: R500, T400s, X60s, X200s, X200T, X60T.
|
||||
|
||||
And as stated above we also need to re-test with the RC2 the computers
|
||||
that were already tested with the RC1 to make sure that we didn't
|
||||
break anything.
|
||||
|
||||
Nonfree software found in the source release of GNU Boot 0.1 RC1.
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In the GNU Boot source release (gnuboot-0.1-rc1_src.tar.xz) we found
|
||||
the 3 files (F12MicrocodePatch03000002.c, F12MicrocodePatch0300000e.c,
|
||||
F12MicrocodePatch03000027.c) that contain microcode in binary form,
|
||||
without corresponding source code. They already have been removed from
|
||||
GNU Boot and an RC2 release without these files is on its way.
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Boot running nonfree software:
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
GNU Boot is still in its early stages and many of the directions the
|
||||
project can take are still being evaluated.
|
||||
|
||||
So it's a good time to warn people that in some cases GNU Boot does
|
||||
run nonfree software on computers other than laptops, and that it
|
||||
may change in the future (we have to decide how to deal with this
|
||||
problem).
|
||||
|
||||
The issue is that ATI and Nvidia external GPUs do contain nonfree
|
||||
software. That nonfree software is stored on the card in a memory chip.
|
||||
|
||||
At least in some configurations[8], if such GPU is present, GNU Boot
|
||||
downloads and executes that software. Then later on in the boot,
|
||||
Linux-libre also downloads and execute another nonfree software from
|
||||
that same GPU.
|
||||
|
||||
If we decide to block that (it's relatively easy to do that in GNU
|
||||
Boot) then users won't be able to use such GPU anymore. If we don't
|
||||
block it, many users will not know about this freedom issue and will
|
||||
think that they only run free software while nonfree software is
|
||||
being executed behind their back.
|
||||
|
||||
This is also why the FSF RYF (Respect Your freedom) certification[9] is
|
||||
important: it takes care of details like that and these GPUs or systems
|
||||
with such GPUs are not certified by it.
|
||||
|
||||
Work in progress and future directions:
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
Work also started to improve the build system to make it easier to
|
||||
understand and contribute. We also started adding tests along the way.
|
||||
|
||||
Though we still use old versions of Coreboot especially for the Asus
|
||||
KCMA-D8, KFSN4-DRE and KGPE D16. Compiling GNU Boot images for these
|
||||
computers requires specific distributions like PureOS 10 (byzantium)
|
||||
or Trisquel 10 (nabia).
|
||||
|
||||
We plan to try to change that after the GNU Boot 0.1 release.
|
||||
|
||||
To do it we plan to update the versions of the software we build (like
|
||||
Coreboot, GRUB, etc) but also to progressively switch to Guix to build
|
||||
more and more parts of the images.
|
||||
|
||||
So far we managed to use Guix to building a GRUB payload (part of
|
||||
that work was already upstreamed in Guix) and to build a custom Flashrom
|
||||
that can be used to do installation on the I945 Thinkpads (X60, T60,
|
||||
etc) but more work is needed (code cleanup, documentation, making it
|
||||
easy to use for contributors) before we can integrate that code.
|
||||
|
||||
Integrating it now instead of waiting for the release would increase
|
||||
the risk of introducing new bugs and inconsistencies (for instance in
|
||||
the documentation), and reduce the amount of help we can get, and
|
||||
since it is a big task there is also the risk of never finishing
|
||||
it[10]. So we chose to do that step by step without breaking the
|
||||
documentation or current usage of GNU Boot.
|
||||
|
||||
As for the website we are currently using Untitled, a static website
|
||||
generator that use files in markdown with a custom header format.
|
||||
|
||||
We plan to migrate at least part of the website to Texinfo to generate a
|
||||
proper manual with it and we already have code to convert from the
|
||||
special markdown used to Texinfo, but the conversion sometimes needs
|
||||
some manual intervention.
|
||||
|
||||
We're also not ready yet to do that conversion as keeping the markdown
|
||||
a bit longer might make it easier for contributors to help us fix the
|
||||
website.
|
||||
|
||||
We also evaluated Haunt, a static website generator that supports
|
||||
markdown and Texinfo and that is also used by Guix for their website.
|
||||
|
||||
We managed to validate that we could easily write code to make it use
|
||||
the custom markdown used by untitled. However we didn't invest time in
|
||||
trying to make it generate a website (by default it generate blog
|
||||
posts), so if some people already know haunt well or want to learn it
|
||||
and are interested in helping it could be very useful. For that the
|
||||
best would be to contact us on the gnuboot mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
This is also important because according to its author, Untitled has
|
||||
some design issues (and it is written in shell scripts) and so it will
|
||||
most likely be rewritten from scratch in another programming language
|
||||
by its author at some point.
|
||||
|
||||
In the meantime we sent patches upstream to fix some of the issues we
|
||||
had with it and the patches were accepted.
|
||||
|
||||
Toward the 0.1 release:
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
What is missing before we release GNU Boot 0.1 is basically more
|
||||
testing and help on the website, especially the installation
|
||||
instructions.

execute nonfree software from GPU cards that are added to the

computer. But we're not sure what happens if SeaBIOS is not

||||
used. An easy way to find out is if the GPU works under GNU/Linux
|
||||
and that the display is initialized, then at least some nonfree
|
||||
bytecode has been downloaded and executed by the operating system.

Subject: [PATCH] Enable to deploy websites in subdirectories.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes people just have shell accounts on a server and the machine
|
||||
is setup to serve web pages from their home directory. In that case
|
||||
the domains typically looks like https://domain.org/~username/.
