Process.run
by Peter Bortas (nu med mindre Opera) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

I just checked in a Process.run() in 7.7: http://pike.ida.liu.se/development/cvs/diff.xml?module=Pike&file=7.7/lib/mo… The rational for that is that I was once again reminded by a user this week that getting Process.create_process() or Process.Process right without some corner case blocking is hard. It's not obvious that if you bind pipes to booth stderr and stdout you have to take in to account that OS buffers are not limetless. Process.run() is a thin wrapper around Process.Process that collects stdout, stderr and exitcode and return them in a mapping. This could potentially result in huge strings, but will do what most users want and even already do when they call create_process() with both pipes bound. Something like this should be in 7.8, but I'm open to suggestions for other things that might be usefull to return in the mapping or for changing member names.

It is time for a new release of Pike 7.6. Is there anyone who can do the release notes? If not, we'll just wait a bit longer...

Postgres tests broken in 7.6
by Peter Bortas ＠ Pike developers forum 29 May '06

29 May '06

The 7.6 Postgres module fails to build on OpenSolaris/Solaris 11. In 7.4 and 7.7 it works or does not fatally stop the compilation at least. Could some postgres guru take a look at why 7.6 and 7.7 does not behave in the same way? Ref: http://pike.ida.liu.se/generated/pikefarm/7.6/490_290/makelog.html http://pike.ida.liu.se/generated/pikefarm/7.7/1558_255/makelog.html

What's the right way to deal with this?
by Adam Montague 29 May '06

29 May '06

Sql.postgres has a quote() method that just does replace. For ancient postgresql versions, that's as good as it gets. For newer versions, Postgres.postgres has a quote() method that is preferable. How can I check for Postgres.postgres()->quote in Sql.postgres to see wether or not to use Sql.postgres()->quote? Or do I need to move the pure pike quote() method into Postgres.postgres? Adam

Web.Crawler breaks on robots.txt exclusions?
by Adam Montague 25 May '06

25 May '06

Web.Crawler.Crawler calls queue->set_stage(real_uri, 6); if its denied by a robots.txt exclusion. Does anyone know what 6 means? It looks like its just ignored later on in MemoryQueue()->get(). The result is that any time a Crawler hits a uri denied by robots.txt, it loops forever checking that uri, calling the error_callback, and then leaving it the queue to check again. Adam

How do we handle security issues in modules?
by Adam Montague 25 May '06

25 May '06

I am working on a fix to the postgres module for the recent postgresql security issue. Its a pretty significant problem, allowing SQL injections whenever people are using multi-byte character encodings. Is there a formal security announcement process or anything I should be aware of? And while talking about postgres, has Postgres.postgres been deprecated long enough that it can be removed in 7.7 and merged with Sql.postgres into a single module? Adam

COM
by Peter Bortas ＠ Pike developers forum 20 May '06

20 May '06

Is there a good reason to why the COM module went into 7.6? I'm very tempted to revert it and I will if noone fixes this quickly: % make && make doc && make export ... configure: configuring in COM configure: running /bin//bash -norc /home/zino/hack/Pike/7.6/src/post_modules/../configure --prefix=/usr/local '--prefix=/usr/local' '--cache-file=.././config.cache' '--srcdir=/home/zino/hack/Pike/7.6/src/post_modules' --cache-file=../.././config.cache --srcdir=/home/zino/hack/Pike/7.6/src/post_modules/COM configure: error: cannot find sources (interpret.c) in /home/zino/hack/Pike/7.6/src/post_modules/COM configure: error: /bin//bash -norc /home/zino/hack/Pike/7.6/src/post_modules/../configure failed for COM configure: error: /bin//bash -norc '/home/zino/hack/Pike/7.6/src/post_modules/configure' failed for post_modules make: *** [configure] Error 1
