Announce: Comprehensive Source Database makes Distributor's and Sysop's life easier
by Enrico Weigelt 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Announcing the Comprehensive Source Database Project ------------------------------------------------------ ==> What's it all about ? The CSDB project provides an uniform database with dozens of packages, their releases and tarball locations. Using this database, package maintainers and self-building sysops do not need to keep track of tarball urls by their own. They simply query the database by package name and canonical version number. CSDB also provides an simple URL redirector which provides an canonical URL for accessing certain package+version tarball and kicks you to an random download URL. This for example allows automatic buildsystems to ==> How does it work ? Lots of crawlers scan websites and ftp servers of many projects and feed in the found tarball URLs into our database. While feeding in, the data is brought into an strictly canonical form. We've got several classes of data objects: * packages -> identifier, description, ... * per package: releases -> canonical version, upstream version, ... * per release: src_url -> source-format, url, ... Users can access this database via various interfaces, ie. + Human-readble user interface: http://sourcefarm.metux.de/webfront/?show=world + Various robot interfaces: http://wiki.metux.de/public/SourceFarm/robots The robot interfaces are for automated systems, ie. system builders. For example, the URL redirector provides an uniform URL syntax for fetching an tarball of some given package in some given (canonical) version. It does an database lookup and kicks the client to the actual URL. Package maintainers can simply use these URLs instead of the actual ones and so don't have to cope with individual release URLs anymore. ==> How can I contribute ? Contributions are always welcomed :) Please join our mailinglist oss-qm-discuss(a)metux.de by writing "subscribe oss-qm" to majordomo(a)metux.de. You may freely use the wiki at http://sourcefarm.metux.de but please always drop not to the maillist if you wrote something. ===> Further stuff: [ ] How CSDB was born http://www.metux.de/articles/oss/csdb/how-csdb-was-born [ ] CSDB Website http://sourcefarm.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The OSS-QM Project - Comprehensive Source Database Official contact: oss-qm-discuss(a)metux.de Website: http://sourcefarm.metux.de/ Maintainer: Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service <weigelt(a)metux.de> Infrastructure: metux IT service - http://www.metux.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------

port rename notification (kde-i18n-en_gb)
by Nick Steeves 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hi, I just realized that kde-i18n-en_GB had caps in it, so renamed it to kde-i18n-en_gb. A: cp /var/lib/pkg/db ~/db.bak; \ sed -i 's/kde-i18n-en_GB/kde-i18n-en_gb/' /var/lib/pkg/db seems like it would fix this, and enable the upgrade to version 3.5.4 of this package. Sorry for any inconvenience that this change might cause. Cheers, Nick

udev 0.96 and agetty
by Markus Stockhausen 12 Aug '06

12 Aug '06

Hi. Just tried to update udev port. A few minutes after reboot I got the following messages: Aug 12 17:36:23 zerberus init: Id "c1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Aug 12 17:36:23 zerberus init: Id "c2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Aug 12 17:36:23 zerberus init: Id "c3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Aug 12 17:36:23 zerberus init: Id "c4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes ... Corresponding to these errors I miss the /dev/vc directory. It seems as if the agetty process from /etc/inittab cannot be started. Has anyone got similar errors? When changing back to udev 0.91 everything works normal again. Best reagards. Markus

I like the philosophy behind it, and I like the way it works. I appreciate all the long hours the developers have put into it, and I hope they continue to do so. I am a native English speaker, and I have worked as a technical writer. I am offering my services to anyone on this list who is trying to develop documentation, and who needs assistance. Note that I said 'assistance'. I am not going to do the work for you, but I will be glad to help any sincere efforts in any way that I can. > > And by "you" you mean all the people who are actively maintaining the > CRUX Handbook? ;-) Yes. Ian.
