[clc-devel] Branched 2.0 ports, please start to tag ports for 2.1
by Johannes Winkelmann 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Hi everybody, I've created a branch from the CONTRIB-2_0 ports in order to allow independent port updates for CRUX 2.0 if this is needed. In order to work on it, do a export CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d <user>@clc.morpheus.net:/home/crux/cvs co -r CRUX-2_0 clc Changes for CRUX 2.0 should only be commited to this branch. In addition, please start tagging the ports for 2.1 (tag: CONTRIB-2_1) using the 2.1rc1 ISO, if you have to chance to do so. It installs and runs fine in qemu [1], a processor emulator which can emulate an x86 machine (amongst others), allowing you to test your ports without freeing up a Vpartition, or updating your production server :-). I recommend to use Jukka's port if you are interested in qemu. Finally, you don't have to do a fresh checkout to tag the ports CONTRIB-2_1; you can continue with your current working copy. Feel free to ask if you have questions or anything's unclear. Kind regards, Johannes P.S. I created the branch from the CONTRIB-2_0 tag, which means that if you commited changes without moving the tag, they're not taken into account.

[clc-devel] prtsync 0.3-2
by Jay Dolan 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Fixes and improvements.. All notifications are sent to at least $mailer. COLLECTION= is no longer required/used in .httpup files. In fact, standard .httpup driver files may be used as-is without problems. However, if EMAIL= is specified in the files, notifications will go to those addresses as well as $mailer. Tag (.sync) files may be ignored with `prtsync -i sync`, or by adjusting ignore_tag_files in /etc/prtsync.conf. This may be of use in the immediate future as we attempt to merge not-yet-tagged repositories. An archive of the merged repository can be updated with `prtsync -a merge`, or by adjusting use_archive in /etc/prtsync.conf. This archive may suppliment initial checkouts, and could eventually be built into the ports(8) httpup driver or httpup(8) itself. The archive is left out of the REPO file for obvious reasons. The merge algorithm is a little smarter and safer all-around. I've successfully synced, merged, and tinkered with repos from Han, cptn, jaeger, and myself. The man(1) page has also been updated. Please test this if you can and report any errors/shortcomings. Han, cptn, jaeger, sorry for any spams you've received in the last couple days :) http://jdolan.dyndns.org/jaydolan/files/jdolan.httpup Jay Dolan Software Engineer, Systems Analyst Windmill Cycles, Inc. 508.999.4000 __________________________________ Yahoo!

[clc-devel] I'm retiring
by Tilman Sauerbeck 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

Hi folks, I'm leaving the CLC team. My primary interest is, and has always been, to provide a few well-maintained ports for CRUX. To be honest, I'm not interested that much in all the stuff that's happening around CRUX and CLC right now, like the development of the new contrib collection, the Subversion switch etc, and I feel bad for it. I shouldn't be a part of CLC if all I want is to provide a bunch of ports, I can do that with httpup and the new contrib collection as well. I'll now move my ports to unmaintained and put those into my httpup repo that aren't picked up by another CLC member in the next few days. -- Regards, Tilman

[clc-devel] I'm not retiring, but reducing my number of ports...
by Opel Martin 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Hi CLC maintainers, you all will have noticed that I were very rarely online the last months. I changed my job half a year ago and in July my second child will be born. What I want to say: I have not the time to be a good maintainer for 77 ports and a good father for 2 children :) I will tag a first bunch of ports UNMAINTAINED tonight (only ports, without depending ports). If you're interested in taking over one of my other ports, let me know. There's only a little number of ports I want to keep. Bye Martin (obbl). -- Martin Opel, mo at obbl-net dot de Regensburg, Germany

[clc-devel] New CRUX/CLC website
by Simone Rota 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Hi all, some time ago I offered to help with the crux/clc website merge, I drop you some proposal/idea in case we're going to start to work on the project during the following weeks. I've been evaluating some wiki package during the last days and my preference goes to wikka wiki: http://wikka.jsnx.com/TestSkin for the following reasons: - lightweight but with interesting features - easy to configure/install/manage - graphically customizable (ie: select the "withew.css" skin in the url above) - good support for ACLs, very useful for subprojects - does not require 3rd party software (just plain php+mysql) In my opinion with something like Wikka we could manage the entire CRUX/CLC website in a collaborative manner, and use cvstrac only as a bug tracker. ====== Apart from the choice of software, we cannot really start something without some knowledge about the physical location of the site. Personally I'd be glad to donate some buck myself, buy some webspace and make it accessible to CLC members. We could host there the site, maybe with the following layout: - isos at fukt.bth.se - cvs and ports at morpheus.net - webpages / docs / subprojects at the new site This is a proposal to avoid spending time administering (and securing) a web/db server ourselves, please let me know if there is some interest. As usual comments and further proposals are welcome. Regards, Simone -- Simone Rota WEB : http://www.varlock.com Bergamo, Italy MAIL: sip(a)varlock.com

[clc-devel] prtsync v0.2
by Jay Dolan 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Johannes, Simone, others.. I've reworked much of prtsync to address some of it's previous shortcomings. I did make an effort to work with jw's fork, but I'm a baby.. I was having a hard time following it. About the only major difference between his version and this one, to CLC, I think, is that this one still uses backwards compatible httpup driver files, rather than a custom config syntax. I just thought it would be easier that way..we're already going to have .httpup files for these collections. So, it seems much more viable now. I hope you'll take a poke at it and let me know what you think. There is a manpage included in the port. Oh.. which is available in my httpup repository ;) Jay Dolan Software Engineer, Systems Analyst Windmill Cycles, Inc. 508.999.4000 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sure. I'm 90% confident that it would not be a problem at all for me to drop a box on UMass Dartmouth's T1. I can also probably convince my boss to donate some older hardware (something like a P3 700, 256MB) to the project. I live about 10 minutes from the university, and am still in contact with several of my professors. So handling hardware malfunctions in a timely manner wouldn't be terribly difficult. It would be completely free. The only problems we'd have to deal with would be power outages, etc..maybe twice a year. What I'd like to do, if we persue this, is get the machine up and running and drop it on the line. Then give root to those of you who require it (jw, jaeger, pli, sip..). You guys could then work your magic and get whatever else the box needs installed and running. I started thinking of this idea back at CruxCon, when we spoke of merging the CLC/Crux.nu websites. To me, it only makes sense that we'd be better off with our very own box..rather than dealing with someone else's hosting policies. Just an idea. Let me know if you wish for me to persue it further.
