Travel-Status-DE-IRIS-1.27.tar.gz (signature)

• Add station Berlin Zoologischer Garten (S)

Travel-Status-DE-DBWagenreihung-0.01.tar.gz (signature)

• Initial release. wagen order and wagon type information for a specific train at a specific station. Documentation is incomplete, API may change without notice.

Travel-Status-DE-IRIS-1.26.tar.gz (signature)

• Fix DS100 code for Berlin Westkreuz
• Add station Bonn UN Campus

Travel-Status-DE-IRIS-1.25.tar.gz (signature)

• Do not ignore trains with arrival < lookahead, even if departure >= lookahead.
• Add delay code 66 (flooded area)

Travel-Status-DE-IRIS-1.24.tar.gz (signature)

• Remove erroneous double entry for Düsseldorf-Bilk
• Fix a warning when encountering unusual train types

Travel-Status-DE-DeutscheBahn-2.04.tar.gz (signature)

• Handle invalid XML when using the VBB backend

Travel-Status-DE-IRIS-1.23.tar.gz (signature)

• Ignore apparently useless "ZOB" (central omnibus station) links at most main stations. This decreases the average runtime and also fixes some S-Bahn trains being reported twice in München Hbf.
• Result->qos_messages: Skip superseded messages. They're still present in ->messages.
• Result->route_interesting: Filter Hbf suffixes (not just "Hbf"); include .hl.n (czech main station).

Travel-Status-DE-IRIS-1.22.tar.gz (signature)

• Add delay code 4 (unforeseen staff shortage, thanks to Fabian Schwarz)
• Add delay code 37 (technical failure in carriage, thanks to @marudor)

To increase flash lifetime and avoid problems with unexpected power cuts, I run all of my embedded Linux systems from a readonly root filesystem. This is a moving target: Depending on the software in use as well as the version and configuration of systemd and userland software, different adjustments may be needed.

I have created a readonly linux reference page containing all tweaks I know of at the moment, which are mostly tmpfs mounts and /etc/tmpfiles.d entries. I'll update it when I run by something new.

Preseeding is a handy way of automating Debian installations. With a proper preseed.cfg, a Debian installation can run completely unattended in about 10 minutes, including setup of users, sudo and SSH keys.

For future reference, here are the things I found helpful

custom post-installation commands

d-i preseed/late_command executes arbitrary commands after the installation is completed. I use this to set up SSH keys and sudo, like so:

in-target mkdir -p /root/.ssh /home/derf/.ssh; \
in-target wget -O /root/.ssh/authorized_keys https://.../keys-root; \
in-target wget -O /home/derf/.ssh/authorized_keys https://.../keys; \
in-target chmod 700 /root/.ssh /home/derf/.ssh; \
in-target chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys /home/derf/.ssh/authorized_keys; \
in-target chown -R derf:derf /home/derf/.ssh; \
apt-install sudo; in-target adduser derf sudo

Adding preseed.cfg to virt-install images

--initrd-inject embeds arbitrary files into the root of the installation image. So, for preseeding, just add --initrd-inject .../preseed.cfg to your virt-install invocation.

Adding preseed.cfg to USB images (with UEFI support)

This is a bit more tricky. Basically: Download and unpack ISO, inject preseed.cfg into initrd, refresh md5sums, rebuild ISO and add UEFI support.

The following script should do the job for most amd64 systems. Usage: ./mkpreseediso debian-x.y.z-amd64-netinst.iso

#!/bin/sh

set -e

ISO="$1"
WD="$(mktemp -d)"

7z x -o$WD $ISO

cd $WD

gunzip install.amd/initrd.gz
cp /tmp/preseed.cfg .
echo preseed.cfg | cpio -o -H newc -A -F install.amd/initrd
rm preseed.cfg
gzip install.amd/initrd

find -follow -type f -print0 | xargs --null md5sum > md5sum.txt

cd

xorriso -as mkisofs -o $ISO -isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isohdpfx.bin \
-c isolinux/boot.cat -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \

• Fix crash when receiving invalid XML due to network issues

findmnt --raw --noheadings --output options --target SOME_DIRECTORY | grep -qE '(^|,)ro($|,)'

• findmnt is a handy alternative to mount when writing scripts
• SOME_DIRECTORY does not have to correspond to a mountpoint. If it doesn't, findmnt will traverse its parent directories until it finds the corresponding filesystem / mountpoint.
• a simple grep ro would also match options like errors=remount-ro, so we make sure to only match the single ro option. It must be delimited by commas or the start/end of the option string.

Travel-Status-DE-IRIS-1.20.tar.gz (signature)

• Use schedule instead of realtime data when determining whether a train falls within the lookahead time frame. This fixes severely delayed trains being ignored even if their scheduled arrival/departure is very soon or has already passed.

Travel-Status-DE-IRIS-1.19.tar.gz (signature)

• db-iris: Fix -ot ignoring arrival delay if departure is on time
• Add delay code 12 (waiting for passengers in a ship)
• Result->route_interesting: Include dutch and swiss central station names
• Result: New accessors arrival_delay and departure_delay
