So we are all doomed: on debian, beep was an issue leading into a CVE. The fix is an issue too, and also has a CVE.

Many people use it that way. Which means I can put it on an old Raspberry Pi B+ revision 1.2 board (which Wikipedia indicates as the B 1+ in the Specifications table but as Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ revision 1.2 in the schematics of connectors).
I might consider DietPi as distribution (which is Debian based) as it is even ligher.

One more note: I need to check out which Debian base name (which indicates the version) works best as there seemed to be a dnsmasq issue (not archived because discourse hatesdislikes the WayBack machine and Archive.is):
Like Apple, Android and Delphi, they use name based versions of which I always forget the order of. Luckily the source of the below table gets updated over time [2017 Archive.is, 2018 Archive.is] Debian releases and names – Electric Toolbox Debian releases are named after characters from Toy Story and are frequently referred to with the name rather than the version.:
Version Code name Release date Toy Story character 1.1 Buzz 1996-06-17 Buzz Lightyear 1.2 Rex 1996-12-12 Rex (the T-Rex) 1.3 Bo 1997-06-05 Bo Peep 2.0 Hamm 1998-07-24 Hamm (the pig) 2.1 Slink 1999-03-09 Slinky Dog 2.2 Potato 2000-08-15 Mr Potato Head 3.0 Woody 2002-07-19 Woody the cowboy 3.1 Sarge 2005-06-06 Sarge from the Bucket O’ Soldiers 4.0 Etch 2007-04-08 Etch, the Etch-A-Sketch 5.0 Lenny 2009-02-14 Lenny, the binoculars 6.0 Squeeze 2011-02-06 Squeeze toy aliens 7 Wheezy 2013-05-04 Wheezy the penguin 8 Jessie 2015-04-26 Jessie the cowgirl 9 Stretch 2017-06-17 Rubber octopus from Toy Story 3 10 Buster not yet released Andy’s pet dog 11 Bullseye Not yet released Woody’s horse Sid “unstable” The next door neighbour

OSC downloads for [archive.is] https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084812
The binaries provided by Stefan Brüns, together with installation instructions are now in a git repository at [WayBack] wiert.me/public/linux/opensuse/tumbleweed/aarch64 a.k.a. arm64/1084182-fix-osc-binaries · GitLab.
Follow the steps in Applying the fixes on a broken system to at least temporarily get your system to work (a new zypper dist-upgrade might fail, so be careful with that).

Before upgrading a Tumbleweed system, it makes sense to check which is your local and which is the on-line version. This is actually a tad more complicated than it sounds.
There are three versions involved:
aarch64 used on https://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/ file *-primary.xml.gz and http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/repo/oss/aarch64/ in files openSUSE-release-*-1.1.aarch64.rpmThere is a mismatch between the last two as a side effect of decoupling the arm port a bit from the high checkin frequency of openSUSE:Factory; ARM simply has not enough power to build the snapshot in the same time Intel and PowerPC can do.
[WayBack] Dominique a.k.a. DimStar (Dim*) – A passionate openSUSE user thinks the last two are mismatched is a side effect off [WayBack] osc service remoterun operates on outdated sources (product builder) · Issue #4768 · openSUSE/open-build-service · GitHub.
He also tech-reviewed this post.
There are various ways to get your local version:
The easiest is to inspect the file /etc/os-release, for instance 20180208 in the file content:
NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # VERSION="20180208 " ID=opensuse ID_LIKE="suse" VERSION_ID="20180208" PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" ANSI_COLOR="0;32" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20180208" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org" HOME_URL="https://www.opensuse.org/"
You can also perform rpm --query --provides openSUSE-release | grep "product(openSUSE)" which for the same install returned this product(openSUSE) = 20180208-0.
Finally, you can use zypper to query the installed product which also includes the version:
$ zypper search --installed-only --type product --details Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository ---+----------+---------+------------+---------+------------------ i+ | openSUSE | product | 20180228-0 | aarch64 | (System Packages)
I will explain this for the aarch64 architecture, but the mechanism holds for all architectures, it is just that the directory names vary.
Architectures and base directories you can use this mechanism with:
i586, i686 and x86_64
aarch64
armv6hl
armv7hl
ppc, ppc64 and ppc64le
s390x
Each architecture contains the version number in two kinds of places:
*-primary.xml.gz referenced from repomd.xml in the repodata subdirectory?P=openSUSE-release-2*Back to the aarch64 architecture:
Getting the version through repomd.xml is what zypper does based on a slight adoption of https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Standards_Rpm_Metadata#Repository_layout resulting in release version 20180324:
Inspect https://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/repomd.xml for the name of *-primary.xml.gz (in this case https://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/d701c298b21d0b995c9560f9cfcc84685cb916deacc4f4c4a613a9b9d8f5aa57-primary.xml.gz
Download that .gz file and uncompress it
Inspect the *-primary.xml from it, look inside the metatadata root element for a package having a name element with value openSUSE-release: that packageelement now has a version element having a ver attribute containing the release version text.
Example file content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metadata xmlns="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/common" xmlns:rpm="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/rpm" packages="35006">
<!-- ... -->
<package type="rpm">
<name>openSUSE-release</name>
<arch>aarch64</arch>
<version epoch="0" ver="20180324" rel="1.1"/>
<!-- ... -->
</package>
<!-- ... -->
</metadata>Getting the version through the name of the openSUSE-release-2* package:
openSUSE-release-20180324-1.1.aarch64.rpm indicating release version 20180324I will explain this for the aarch64 architecture, but the mechanism holds for all architectures that build on openQA, it is just that the directory names vary and not all architectures are running on openQA.
Architectures and base directories you can use this mechanism with:
i586, i686 and x86_64 (let’s call this platform Intel)
x86_64 and some i586)x86_64)aarch64 (let’s call this platform ARM)
ppc, ppc64 and ppc64le (let’s call this platform PowerPC)
ppc64 and ppc64le)s390x (let’s call this platform System Z)
Architectures not on openQA:
armv6hlarmv7hlEach platform contains the version number in two kinds of places:
media.1/media and media.1/productsBack to the aarch64 architecture on the ARM platform:
https://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/repo/oss/media.1/media
openSUSE - openSUSE-20180322-aarch64-Build46.1-Media

I resolved my issue with tshark, but that’s not available on all systems neither is dnstop. Most systems do have tcpdump though.
Anyway, some links:
