Local Packages
- Updated nmap to 4.00
Noticed in today's rawhide report that a dovecot bug had been fixed. I had the same problem in my own package so I fixed that one in a similar way.
Fedora Extras
Submitted an updated version of perl-Math-Pari (2.010703) and tweaked the %{pariversion} macro definition to be more robust when handling two-digit version numbers
Joey Barton
Joey's agent said it wasn't all about money but it seems that that's exactly what it's about. Joey wants parity with the club's top earners (and the offer the club has made will apparently make him the third-top earner at the club), yet many other players are established internationals and Joey is well short of that level at the moment. I think there'll be a hot reception for him at the game tonight.
Newcastle Game
Quite an enjoyable game, though Newcastle's defence was terrible. The first couple of goals were like those we used to concede on a regular basis, with no closing down on the edge of the box when Riera scored the first, and neither Boumsong nor Bramble making a challenge on Cole for the second. As for the third, Vassell ran past Boumsong as though he wasn't there; did someone say that Boumsong was better than Distin once? Methinks they were having a laugh.
Joey got the reception I expected, though credit to him for putting in a good performance. I'd had given MoM to Sinclair (again) personally though.
