Förderverein Gentoo e.V: Vorerst keine Auflösung

Vor rund 14 Tagen schrieb ich über die anstehende Auflösung des Förderverein Gentoo e.V. – nun 14 Tage später sieht erst einmal vieles danach aus, als wenn auf der kommenden Mitgliederversammlung ein neuer Vorstand gewählt werden kann und zumindest die Auflösung (vorerst?) vom Tisch ist. Die angedachte Mitgliederversammlung am Wochenende 07./08.11. in Bottrop findet ebenso [...]

Förderverein Gentoo e.V. strebt Auflösung an.

(For readers on planet.g.o: This one is in German language only, but i do consider this important enough to be published on planet.g.o although.)
Wichtig: Ich schreibe hier als Privatperson, nicht als Vorstandsmitglied des Förderverein Gentoo e.V.!
Die am vergangenen Freitag stattgefundene Mitgliederversammlung hat sich mehrheitlich dafür ausgesprochen, den Förderverein Gentoo e.V. aufzulösen. Entgegen der Tagesordnung wurde [...]

Back, somehow.

In the past few months (basically for nearly a year *cough*) I was working on another book, now that this one is finally done and probably will hit bookstores this month I’m somehow back. At least I’ll have much more free time for all things Gentoo :)
Sadly this project had some (minor?) impact on being [...]

You may find older ebuilds from this overlay using the ViewVC listing at:

That being said, today I did shut down the gentoo.de Portage Overlay which was one of the oldest overlays around (it started somewhen in 2001/2002 iirc). SVN and distributed version control [...]

Worker: new version on 10th anniversary

A new version of worker, a file manager for the X Window System, has been released today. Exactly 10 years after the first public version became available. As a little present worker now allows to use tabs in the directory view, like in browsers. Nice!

Link to the release announcement. 2.17.2 also is available in [...]

Announcing HPPA autobuilds

It took quite some time (well, nearly a year to get the buildbox moved into a datacenter – shame on me) but now automatically built stages for HPPA (hppa1.1 and hppa2.0 that is) are available on a mirror near you.
For those of you interested in geek porn, the buildbox is a HP C3700 UNIX workstation [...]

Déjà-vu – kind of.

Some months ago I had an interesting discussion with a fellow Gentoo Developer. His proposals were quite similiar (at least partially) to the ones Donnie wrote about in his post “Steps toward improving Gentoo“. Well, still … for me this proposal(s) sounds like a good (probably even the best) way to demotivate people and make [...]

Nagios 3 is coming to your stable tree!

Some 9 months after the first version of Nagios 3 has hit Gentoo’s Portage Tree (3.0.1 it was) it’s time to get it marked as stable. This morning I filed the request for our architecture teams, they will hopefully soonish get the packages keyworded as stable for their architecture.
The most notable change from Nagios version [...]
