Trac 0.9 is out!

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

I’ve just commited Trac 0.9 to CVS. Since 0.9_beta2, I’ve added a hard dependency on app-text/pytextile, a Python version of Dean Allen’s Human Text Generator. This way, the textile word processor can be used in wiki pages. The downside is that I had to remove ~amd64, ~ppc and ~sparc keywords from the Trac ebuild because […]

Aanor is up again!

Friday, October 7th, 2005

My faithful gateway is now up and running, as I received an Asus A7V600-X motherboard yesterday evening. Sure, this isn’t the most powerful motherboard out of the market, but it is cheap (45€) and, above all, it is nearly the only remaining Asus or Abit Socket A motherboard in the online shops. However, I have […]

0.9 Trac series

Friday, September 30th, 2005

Yesterday night I commited Trac 0.9_beta2 to CVS. This ebuild introduce the new 0.9 Trac series (see the exciting ChangeLog), and makes use of new USE flags to better handle package dependencies. You can now choose between enscript, silvercity, both (but you have to choose one per project) or none for syntax highlighting support. […]

Free X-Chat for Windows

Friday, September 23rd, 2005

The official X-Chat Windows version was made shareware (with a 30 days trial period) some time ago, but people started to provide their own build of this famous open-source IRC client. This one includes support for IPv6, encrypted connections via OpenSSL, and provides shared libraries for GTK+, making theming possible. I like it!

This is the end…

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

I think I’ll stop bumping dju-sources ebuilds as I don’t use them anymore. Indeed, inotify has been included into mainline since 2.6.13, as well as the ALPS touchpad driver some time before. And I really can do without vesafb-tng, that’s why I have returned to the holy -ck patchset.
I also had strange NFS issues while […]

Nokia 6021

Saturday, August 27th, 2005

Being bored of my previous shit, I bought a wonderful Nokia 6021 mobile phone two weeks ago. Wow, it really rocks !!!11, and perfectly fits to my needs. No useless things like radio, poor VGA camera or support for dumb AAC files. Rock solid, 88g light and rather good-looking. Heavily designed for connectivity (email & […]

Back home: log repaired!

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Hi peep! Weeee \o/ I’m back home at last! Paris was great, but I’m rather pleased to see my housemates again.
Today, I spent some time to investigate why mod_rewrite didn’t work with my OVH account subdomain. Hopefully, I found rather quickly that it was a bug in their shitty mod_rewrite hack. Physical htdocs directory for […]

dju-sources-2.6.12_p6

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

I’ve just bumped the -dju Linux kernel patchset to follow 2.6.12-ck6.

Spread Gentoo

Monday, August 8th, 2005

Cool, I really have to try the new Gentoo Linux Installer, which has just been released as 0.1. It has a dialog frontend for remote installations, as well as a graphical (GTK2) frontend. They both look great! Good work guys!
GLI makes our distribution a little more accessible to new Linux users, and this is a […]

dju-sources-2.6.12_p5

Sunday, August 7th, 2005

Time to relax! A new release of the -dju kernel patchset, based on 2.6.12-ck5, is available as an ebuild for Gentoo Linux. Sorry to have skipped -ck4.
