I built several new / updated packages over the last few days, but did not have enough time to post about them.
First of all there is FreeCiv, a Civilization-like game for Linux.
The new version was adapted to run on smaller screens, like on netbooks.
The second update is for brlcad, with a new release 7.16.10 that [...]
It was time to update the monitoring packages on my server, so I spent some time to get them all up-to-date to the newest versions that were released recently:
First of all, there is new version of cacti, with several patches from upstream. It corrects a few bugs that appeared after the release of version 0.8.7g. [...]
Jacob Dekel released the new version 1.2.0 of Hercules Studio last month.
It has, apart from some small bug fixes, a few enhancements to the GUI. The one I like most is the ability to click on the tray icon to minimize / maximize the program. I normally use Hercules to run servers I connect to [...]
QComicBook 0.6.0 was actually released almost a month ago, but only now I had some time to create the new packages…
This new version has support for translations (including Portuguese!) and some minor enhancements.
There are some very interesting changes in the development branch, but these will probably only be released in the next stable version.
A new [...]
New pieces libraries
LDraw.org released its second update for 2010 of the pieces library this month. As always, a short time afterwards the updated pieces library for LeoCAD was also released.
New LeoCAD version
A new version of LeoCAD (0.75.1) was also released, fixing the Minifig wizard that was broken in the previous Linux versions. With it, you [...]
After the problems with Cacti release 0.8.7f a few weeks ago, the updated version 0.8.7g was released this week.
I successfully updated my server, which was a very simple process.
After installing the new package, the web-page automatically redirected to the upgrade-page and with a single click Cacti was up-and-running again.
The new SlackBuild is in [...]
DeVeDe is a simple to use graphical front-end for dvdauthor and vcdimager. With it you can create VCDs and DVDs that can be played on “normal” home players, from all kinds of video formats normally only playable on computers:
A simple menu can be created to choose the video on your home player.
Version 3.16.9 of DeVeDe [...]
Last Monday rrdtool-1.4.4 was released. It contains some bug fixes and improvements you can read about here.
The SlackBuild was also improved to solve some problems with the lua, tcl and ruby bindings, that are all installed in the correct paths now.
The new SlackBuild has been submitted and new packages can be downloaded from my site.
A few weeks ago the Cacti developers released version 0.8.7f of Cacti, but it was removed from their site shortly after the release because of some new bugs that were introduced.
While we’re waiting for the new version to be re-released, I built a package for the current release (0.8.7e) with all the patches that upstream [...]
I’m not really that fanatic about football, but one of the questions I’m always asked when I tell people here in Brazil that I’m from the Netherlands is: “And what if the Dutch team plays against Brazil?”. Well, today this finally happened, after so many years.
So since it was clear this game was going to [...]
