[clc-devel] CRUX 1.3 test1 now available
by Per Liden 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

Hi all, A test ISO for CRUX 1.3 is now available at http://www.fukt.bth.se/~per/crux/files/crux-1.3/ I haven't done much testing yet, only one upgrade and one clean install, but so far things are looking good. I would appreciate any help I could get with testing this more. So if you have time please install it and use it for a day or two. Report possible problems or success stories. I hope, to be able to just rename the ISO file to crux-1.3.iso and release it in a couple of days. Only if very serious problems are found will I rebuild it. /Per

[clc-devel] Update scenario
by Johannes Winkelmann 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

Hey everyone, I guess all of you have read the announcement of the upcoming CRUX 1.3 release. I was just wondering whether we could organize the update of CLC ports a bit; I was mainly thinking about installing either a pre-release (if there's any; Per? *g*) or 1.3 release version on some PC and trying to build all ports which have the CONTRIB-1_2 tag. Using the resulting list, we could very quickly set the new tags for ports which build fine, making the number of ports to test remarkable smaller. Even if some ports don't build because of missing dependencies or similar, the work required to get all ports tagged CONTRIB-1_3 would hopefully much very shorter. Of course, this would require an available host to test build those packages, but that's an implementation issue not to be considered for now :-) Comments welcome. Kind regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Biel, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net

[clc-devel] application
by Rune Stokka 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

Hi. I want to be a CLC maintainer. Actually Dan Mueller sent me an email suggesting to consider joining CLC. I have thought about it for a while - and would really like to contribute to this fine community. About me: My name is Rune Stokka and I'm from Norway. I've been around since Crux 0.9.3 and have enjoyed every bit. I've been reading the Crux mailing list and the previous port list since then. I haven't been as active yet - because I wanted to learn and adapt before contributing. I haven't expressed my grattitudes yet for this excellent distribution Crux and for all the nice work done by the CLC. So for Pèr and the people behind CLC - thank you wery much!! As for now I have packaged a few ports available from CLC. I would like to maintain two of my ports from unmaintained, and some others port I've done (if the ports concludes with others wishes of course). I've done some ports for Texas Calculator linking program, and are hoping to port tomcat (from apache project) in the nearest future. Sincerely, Rune Stokka

[clc-devel] Upgrade hints for 1.4
by Simone Rota 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

Hi everybody, since there is quite a number of new maintainers (me, for one!) and CRUX 1.4 is coming, I think it would be interesting to know something about the upgrade experiences of previous CRUX releases by the "historical ones". What were the main issues in previous releases? Was the process s "spontaneous" or there was some formal or informal coordination between the maintainers? If I remember well it took some time to upgrade the clc port tree during the 1.1 > 1.2 transtion, was it only a matter of overloaded maintainers or there where technical issues? Just curious. Best regards, Simone

[clc-devel] Short pause
by Simone Rota 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

Hi everybody, just a quick note: I'll be busy with university projects and exams until Nov 21; until then I won't be able to update my ports* or contribute to CLC. If there's the need to a quick update or fix during these days, I'll be glad if another maintainer could work on the update. Thank you for your attention, See you soon.

[clc-devel] Crux at Linuxday 2003 in Austria
by Daniel K. Gebhart 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

Hi, I'll represent Crux at [1]Linuxday 2003 in Austria/Vorarlberg this year. I plan to give a talk about Crux and show how easy it is to build ports. There will also be a both only for Crux for which I'll be responsible. I would really need some promo stuff like posters, t-shirts, stickers, pins, etc. Does anyone of you is able to produce some? Any suggestions? Also any help in building slides or menpower at the both is very welcome! so long, Daniel -- Daniel K. Gebhart http://dkg.con-fuse.org/ Institute for Computer Science University of Innsbruck Fon: (office): +43 512 507 6490 Mail: <daniel.gebhart(at)uibk.ac.at>

[clc-devel] Future of unmaintained
by Johannes Winkelmann 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

Hi there, I just wanted to start a little discussion about our 'unmaintained' ports collection WRT some recent posts to this list. I think there are actually ports in unmaintained which haven't been updated in a long time; publishing them is kind of annoying for users as they are often broken (this has been pointed out by Markus already). But there is also a good number of ports of which I'm certain some users update them for their uses without publishing the changes; one of the reason why these changes are not published is certainly that we have somewhat agreed not to update ports in unmaintained anymore to motivate people to become CLC maintainers and increase the ports in contrib; this has not (yet) worked out as at least I hoped it would, even though it's already much better than it used to be earlier. So the question is: should we leave unmaintained the way it is, losing potential updates, or should we define some basic rules on creating patches? Related to this is a proposition Matt made on IRC: dropping ports which haven't been updated for a certain amount of time, and I believe this could be combined with the idea to allow changes for the CLC collection: If no maintainer updates a port, and no no patch from a user arrived at CLC for $TIME, a port is moved to a place where it can still be accessed somehow (for historians and port developers), but not served to the user anymore. Best regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Biel, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net
