#acl PaulHowarth:read,write,admin,revert,delete All:read === Friday 22nd August 2008 === ==== Local Packages ==== * Rebuilt `curl` to add a note in the description for `libcurl` that, unlike the Fedora `libcurl` packages, mine doesn't include `libcurl.so.3` (built from the `libcurl.so.4` sources) as [[http://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2008/08/13/flash-10-uses-native-libcurl/|upstream does not agree]] with Debian and Fedora's assertions that the two library versions have the same ABI * Rebuilt `curl` again to remove the just-added note since the bogus `libcurl.so.3` library has been removed in the Fedora package today (not because it was the wrong thing to do but because the Adobe Flash 10 player will now `dlopen()` either `libcurl.so.3` or `libcurl.so.4` rather than requiring a specific one of them) * Rebuilt `nmap`, updating the license tag to clarify that the package as a whole is GPL (version 2 only) ==== Fedora Project ==== Some of the systems are slowly coming back online after [[http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-August/msg00012.html|the intrusion]]. * With [[http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji|koji]] back I was able to build the Fedora 8 update for `bittorrent`, committed to CVS last week * With [[https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/|bodhi]] back I was able to create updates for the Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 `bittorrent` builds * With CVS back (I somehow [[http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-August/msg00970.html|got blocked]] by `denyhosts`, not sure how that happened), I was able to update `gtkwave` to 3.1.13 and `libpng10` to 1.0.39 (both in Rawhide) ==== Signature Spammer ==== One of the most prolific spammers as far as attempts to send their crap to me is concerned appears to be "signing" their messages. The "From" addresses, though obviously made-up, fit a pattern of `dw`''something''`m`@''something''`.com` (or more recently, other top-level domains as well as `.com`). This makes the messages very easy to reject with a simple [[http://www.benzedrine.cx/milter-regex.html|milter-regex]] rule: {{{ reject "Thank you for signing your spam" envfrom /^$/e }}} ----
