Monday 5th January 2009

Well I feel quite refreshed after taking a break for nearly a couple of weeks over Christmas, with my only vaguely work-related activity being to update my home desktop-cum-server box to Fedora 10 (uneventful) and of course to replace the ageing Iiyama CRT monitor on that machine with the shiny new HP w2216 flat panel display I got for Christmas, which is very nice.

Local Packages

• Updated bluefish-unstable to 1.3.1

Wednesday 14th January 2009

Local Packages

• Updated sendmail to merge in most of the recent changes from Fedora as I feel the maintenance burden will be too high if I maintain forked initscripts/makefiles

PPTP Client Project

• Since the sourceforge web server no longer serves out directory indexes, I added RepoView pages for the PPTP and PoPToP repositories so make them more browsable, e.g. for Fedora 10 (x86_64) stable PoPToP repository
