How To Set Up MySQL Database Replication With SSL Encryption On Ubuntu 9.10
» ‎ tuxmachines.org

Tags: ubuntu

This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in MySQL using an SSL connection for encryption (to make it impossible for hackers to sniff out passwords and data transferred between the master and slave). MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures.

MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures.

Es una decicsión que beneficiaría de manera indirecta a Ubuntu y según palabras de Shuttleworth, aunque la inversión del trabajadores suponga menos para Ubuntu, las ventajas de un calendario unificado compensaría con creces el trabajo de las distintas distribuciones. La apuesta de Shuttleworth es firme, tanto que si la propuesta no diera sus frutos en diciembre sería capaz de romper los ciclos de desarrollo de Ubuntu en aras de conseguir una mejoría en el desarrollo conjunto de Debian, distribución de la que nació Ubuntu entre otras muchas. Una apuesta por mejorar la distribución matriz implicará una mejora subyacente de todas las distribuciones basadas en ellas.»

Mark Shuttleworth hace un llamamiento a la colaboración entre Debian y Ubuntu (y otros)
» ‎ Barrapunto

Tags: ubuntu

Imagina que eres el líder de un proyecto de software. Te preocupas de tus usuarios, quieres que aprecien y disfruten con el programa que estás escribiendo. Pero también sabes que la mayoría de los usuarios no van a recibir el código directamente de ti o que tu código les llegará a través de una o de otra distribución, quizás RHEL, quizás Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu o Gentoo. Y tu puedes mantener algo de relación personal con gente de las distribuciones que te ayudan a aclarar las cosas, pero más a menudo de lo deseado, los usuarios obtendrán el programa a través de una distribución con la que tienes poco contacto. Para empeorar las cosas, en cualquier momento diferentes distribuciones pueden estar incluyendo diferentes versiones de tu código. Eso hace que los informes de errores sean más difíciles de evaluar, y que los parches que te envían sean complicados de aplicar. También hace difícil saber dónde emplear recursos para el mantenimiento de la versión estable. Así comienza la argumentación que Mark Shuttleworth, el fundador de la empresa responsable de la distribución Ubuntu, Canonical Ltd., envió a la lista de correo del proyecto Debian. En este correo enviado por Shuttleworth se presenta y se defiende una idea que podría cambiar la manera en que las distintas distribuciones llevan a cabo su trabajo. En esencia, se propone una colaboración abierta entre mantenedores de las distribuciones, mantenedores originales de los proyectos y distribuciones entre si, con el fin de coordinarse para los lanzamientos de las distribuciones, en cuestiones como las versiones de cada programa a emplear. Propone como medida principal una "congelación en diciembre", es decir, que cada año por diciembre las distintas distribuciones se pongan de acuerdo en qué versiones de programas van a emplear en los lanzamientos de sus distribuciones.

IFM nos cuenta: «Mark Shuttleworth reveló en febrero los planes para Ubuntu 9.10, nombre en clave Karmic Koala. Los desarrolladores planean dotar de nuevas capacidades Cloud Computing a la versión Ubuntu Server Edition, aumentar el rendimiento en el inicio a la versión de escritorio y proseguir los trabajos sobre la distribución específica para Netbooks. En el escritorio, el objetivo apunta a mejorar el rendimiento en el arranque. La meta para el arranque de Jaunty se marcó en 25 segundos y Shuttleworth cree que esto puede mejorarse aún más en Karmic. También quiere mejorar la animación del inicio para que sea más suave y sin parpadeos, posiblemente mediante la adopción de Red Hat Plymouth framework. El Netbook es otro ámbito en el que los desarrolladores de Ubuntu seguirán impulsando mejoras. Integrarán características de la plataforma Moblin de Intel con el fin de mejorar el rendimiento de los dispositivos basados en Atom.
