Hi

Thanks. The explanation reassures me.

Hi

Ouch!. It seems like these are manually maintained and so subject to human fallibility.

Not "Ouch!" but by design. Please see my reply to Martin's original question.
 

If "latest" is to be useful, it must be automatic.


The latest is automated - covered as part of the releng steps[1] that I reference in my Orbit announcements[2]

 

It makes sense to reference multiple repos, as in my cut and paste from my S-build that referenced both latest-S and latest-R Orbit, since latest-S is usually the most recent except just after a release when latest-R may be later (unless a gratuitous S-build immediately followed the R-build).

However multiple explicit references seems crazy especially when they are so stale.

Please see my email about removal of CVS built bundles from the p2. If you still refer to these old Orbit bundles you will need to keep a reference to an older Orbit repo in your target platform, or update your dependencies.

HTH,
Jonah

Hey!

Quick question:
why do those update sites refer to the latest S or R builds AS WELL AS a specific release repo from 2020 ?

The content of the latest-S looks like:

<child location="../drops/R20201118194144/repository"/>
<child location="../drops2/S20220215213605/repository“/>

Any idea why the R20201118194144 repo is included here?

Cheers
Martin

Hi

For those needing to update: Orbit now has:

    <repository location="https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/latest-S"/>
    <repository location="https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/latest-R"/>

so there is no need to update ever again. Just rebuild.

Hi folks,

I have now checked and the EPP packages that have org.apache.log4j now have the 1.2.19 reload4j version.

Some progress has already been made on the bugs, so with a bit more work we can have the whole simrel free of the 1.2.15 version of log4j.

However, individual projects need to update to the newest Orbit version and rebuild. Numerous projects still have the 1.2.15 version in their p2 repos.

Thanks,
Jonah

Hi folks,

The SimRel release will include the reload4j version of the bundle. Most p2 install resolutions will pull in the reload4j version. 

However it also includes the 1.2.15 version because of some hard dependencies on the 1.2.15 version (Bug 578940 Bug 578941)

When I do the EPP build I will verify/report whether any of the packages contain the 1.2.15 version.

Just as an information for people that did not get the current status via other channels.

The re-bundled version of reload4j is available in the latest stable build of Eclipse Orbit. 

Logpresso has added handling for the re-bundled variant and will not detect the vulnerability in its latest version.

Christian,

I assume it is not jar signed but rather only has an external PGP signature.

feel free to change this if someone finds out how to use EBR to only sign the upstream artefact.

Well, from my point of view the usage of reload4j is the only backwards compatible solution. Unfortunately not for every case, e.g. too strict version ranges. The solution forward is of course the usage of a log wrapper to decouple development from deployment.

Anyhow I don't know how to add a bundle jar signed and unchanged to Orbit. I am only aware of the re-bundling via EBR. Doing that will cause a change in the jar structure that causes for example logpresso to identify a CVE, although it is fixed. Which is actually only an issue in the detection. But that was one of the reasons why I contacted the reload4j project to change the base to avoid the re-bundling. 

Anyone who knows how to only sign and publish to Orbit without re-bundling?

Dirk,

Thanks.  That's really great!  It would be great for this release cycle if it were jar signed and available from Orbit so that we could ship it with 2022-03...

There are people who are concerned:

  https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/1109656/1849775/#msg_1849775

Though I'm not sure if they would consider the problem being fixed in 1.2.19 a fact and even if its a fact if it would be a fact that matters...

Regards,
Ed

Hi,

I got in contact with the reload4j team. They changed the Bundle-SymbolicName to org.apache.log4j and fixed several OSGi meta data related issues in the meanwhile. Today they published 1.2.19 which should work as a drop-in replacement in Eclipse based applications where Require-Bundle was used. My local tests worked so far.

That said, re-bundling for Orbit should not be necessary as reload4j could directly be consumed via Maven Central. 

Just wanted to keep you updated. 

Greez, 
Dirk

Use of SLF4J has been suggested before and so I tried to be a good
Eclipse citizen. My failed attempts are described in:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=559532

If SLF4J is to be used, can someone please ensure that the platform is
fit for purpose and that there is a good tutorial on how to do really
boring logging.
