Strike Action
Went to sign on today but didn't need to; many civil servants, including job centre staff, are on strike today (and maybe tomorrow too) and so anyone signing on is excused. I still needed to get my AB1 signed though (some management type did it for me), so it wasn't a wasted journey.
Local Packages
- Updated perl-Test-Pod-Coverage to 1.08
- Imported perl-Jcode, perl-Unicode-Map8, and perl-Unicode-MapUTF8 from Fedora Extras (all are dependencies of smbldap-tools). Some of the versions in Fedora Extras are rather ancient so there was a fair bit of updating and tidying needed. The perl-Jcode package wouldn't build on Red Hat Linux 9 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (some old perl/unicode issues I suspect), so that took out perl-Unicode-MapUTF8 for those distributions too.
- Published my smbldap-tools package. Since this depends on perl-Unicode-MapUTF8, I didn't build versions for Red Hat Linux 9 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
nmap has finally been fixed to build on Fedora Core 4 again, so I have an nmap-3.999 package now. The GUI frontend now requires gtk2 >= 2.4.0 so it doesn't get built for Red Hat Linux 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, or Fedora Core 1
