A few days ago, while working on the update of my SlackBuild for Zarafa version 6.40.1, version 6.40.2 was released. At first I thought of submitting the script using the newest version, but soon found out that it was not that simple… The newest release simply would not build on Slackware… Since I had already [...]
Nagios released version 3.2.2 of Nagios Core this week.
It contains several fixes and a new configuration interface (although I don’t use it, I do all my configuration with Vim ) A detailed ChangeLog can be found here.
As a happy and satisfied user of Nagios, I updated my SlackBuild script immediately and after a [...]
My previous post became announcement #1000 on Oncle Jean’s Slack Linux Fans site.
This was not a question of perfect timing, just of being lucky
Slack Linux Fans is an interesting site to follow the latest happenings of our favorite Linux distribution. You can also follow Slack Linux Fans on Twitter.
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 [...]
