Come2Linux und Linux-Info-Tag October 30, 2007

Posted by Tobias Scherbaum in : On the road ... , add a comment

Auch bei der diesjährigen Come2Linux in Essen scheint der Gentoo-Vortrag gefragt - er taucht zumindest in der Vortragsübersicht auf. Am kommenden Samstag steht jedoch erstmal der Besuch beim Linux-Info-Tag in Dresden auf dem Plan, neben dem Vortrag freue ich mich jetzt schon besonders auf das Wiedersehen mit Jens & Jan :) Wie die Zeit vergeht …

Und wieder einmal ein Wordpress-Update …. Ansonsten ist es hier recht still geworden - ich hoffe das ändert sich bald wieder ;)

planet.gentoo.de? October 6, 2007

Posted by Tobias Scherbaum in : Gentoo, gentoo.de , 1 comment so far

As Steve mentioned support for other languages than English got dropped from Planet Larry. For those of you who are still interested in having a German feed aggregation, I’d like to offer to setup planet.gentoo.de! But before setting this up I’d like to know if there’s an actual interest in that, i.e. I’m not interested in setting up another useless webservice ;)

If you’re interested leave a comment here or drop an email to www@gentoo.de :)

wth is IMSP and is anyone out there using cyrus-imspd? October 5, 2007

Posted by Tobias Scherbaum in : Gentoo , 3comments

This afternoon Christian and Jakub were discussing the “future” of cyrus-imspd on #gentoo-dev, i.e. is it worth fixing it or is it a candidate for another last rite? As the maintainer of other cyrus packages (i.e. cyrus-imapd and cyrus-imap-admin) i joined their discussion.

The cyrus website states, cyrus-imspd-1.7b is considered to be the “final version” while a newer 1.8 exists on their FTP, A handful of bugs w/ cyrus-imspd in Gentoo’s Portage were submitted to bugs.gentoo.org a while ago. Though this one is considered feature complete (other people would call it: dead) upstream the currently open bugs for cyrus-imspd in Gentoo’s Bugzilla were easy to fix (that’s what Christian said) so the conclusion was to a) fix it, b) remove the x86 stable keyword and c) keep it for now until another breakage occurs.

On a sidenote we wondered about what cyrus-imspd is actually doing or at was least designed for. Their website states

“The IMSP server is used for storing application preferences and address book data in a shared location. Few applications support IMSP preferences and address books.”

So, is anyone out there actually using cyrus-imspd (on Gentoo?) … if so please leave a comment and enlighten us! :)

Pro Linux berichtet über den 25. Geburtstag von SGI, ich schliesse mich den Glückwünschen an - immerhin war eine SGI Indy mein erster nicht mit Intel-CPU bestückter Computer :)
