Crete, Greece

Last month, we went on a delayed honeymoon to Crete, Greece. The weather couldn’t have been better and neither could the food, so needless to say, we spent quite a lot of time near the pool. We did manage to save some time for a road trip or two and I just don’t want to keep the pictures from you.

Note to self: IPv6 on Hetzner

Hetzner has a strange IPv6 routing setup where the default gateway is not in the same subnet as the host. Clearly, this is to avoid wasting space on glue nets, but it does not look pretty. Obviously, Linux just ignores the fact that it isn’t supposed to work, but no such luck on FreeBSD. As Bitmand wrote some time ago, it can be solved with a static route but the FreeBSD startup scripts, apply the default route before static routes, leaving it no other option but to reject the default route as it has no route to its target at that time. Instead of hacking the startup scripts, this can be solved easier with two static routes with fixed order, which is still a hack though not as ugly and less error prone when upgrading the system files. For reference, especially for myself next time I need this, here’s my full ipv6 startup configuration:
rc.conf:
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_default_interface="re0"
ipv6_static_routes="defgw def"
ipv6_route_defgw="2a01:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX::1/59 -prefixlen 59 -iface re0"
ipv6_route_def="default 2a01:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX::1"
ipv6_ifconfig_re0="2a01:YYYY:YYYY:YYYY::2/64"
systctl.conf
net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1

Finally, last weekend the rest of my things were moved from Tranbjerg near Aarhus to Amager near Copenhagen. The trip (pictures) included both a quiet and beautiful ferry trip across the Kattegat and a trip to western Jutland with the tiny truck. The end result: A lot of boxes everywhere…
Summary of the FreeBSD Ports and Packages Summit at BSDCan 2011

Just a quick note to point to my slides that summarize the Ports and Packages Summit at the FreeBSD DevSummit during BSDCan 2011, which can be found here. Also, we looking forward to feedback on the PKGNG project that was announced earlier and will replace the current pkg_* tools to handle ports installation and package handling and which will be a focus for portmgr over the next few months.
