The distributed build system has been working fine for the last few days / nights, so I managed to build several packages for ARMedslack.
These are now available for download on my site:
viewvc + Pygments (browser interface for cvs and svn)
xspacewarp (Time-Trek like game for X-Windows)
inadyn (Dynamic DNS updater)
nagios + nagios-plugins (IT monitoring system)
ntop + GeoIP [...]
No, I did not abandon ARMedslack, the official port of Slackware to the ARM architecture… It was simply a matter of lack of time (or a question of priorities, depending of your point of view).
But this weekend I finally found some time to setup a clean build environment based on the stable ARMedslack 13.1 version.
The [...]
After the release of Slackware 13.1 in May, I rebuilt all my packages on newly installed VMs over the last few days (nights?) and uploaded them to my site.
Most SlackBuilds have been “migrated” from the 13.0 to the 13.1 repository with only cosmetic cleanups, and the packages have been rebuilt for i486 (32-bits) and x86_64 [...]
How it all started
On the TRS-80 mailing list I subscribe there was a discussion about an old (from 1977!) game I used to play on my TRS-80 Model I called Space Warp. This game was originally called “Time Trek”, based on the popular television series Star Trek. When Tandy/Radio Shack released this game commercially, [...]
Last week RRDtool 1.4.3 was released. It solves several minor bugs in the previous 1.4.2 version and adds a few new options. See here for the updated change log.
I updated the SlackBuild script and submitted it to SlackBuilds.org. Pre-built packages for Slackware 32+64 bits and ARMedslack can be downloaded from the usual page.
A new version for Zabbix – the open source enterprise monitoring solution – was released yesterday. This new version (1.8.2) solves some bugs in the previous version and introduces some new features and improvements. For the complete announcement, check this link.
I submitted the new SlackBuilds for the server and agent parts to SlackBuilds.org. Pre-built packages [...]
The guys that are developing FBReader are releasing so many updates that it is difficult to keep my SlackBuild and packages up-to-date!
Only a few days ago I mentioned the new 0.12.7 version and they’re already at 0.12.9
The new version resolves some bugs and improves the Smashwords library support. The code is also compatible [...]
A new version of FBReader, an e-book reader with functions to download books from some popular sites, has been released.
Version 0.12.7 is mainly a bug-fix release, but it also add some extra support for ePub files.
The new SlackBuild script is in the pending queue on SlackBuilds.org and pre-built packages for Slackware 32-bits, 64-bits and ARMedslack [...]
A new version of sdltrs, the TRS-80 emulator (originally based on xtrs) was released recently.
It adds the new “turbo mode”, that can be switched on and off with the F11 key and reorganizes the disk numbering.
I submitted the new SlackBuild script to SlackBuilds.org and pre-built packages (Slackware 32 & 64-bits + ARMedslack) are available from [...]
Today version 3.07 of Hercules, the System/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture Emulator for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX, was released.
Since I use Hercules on an almost daily basis, I quickly downloaded the latest sources and prepared the new Slackware packages and SlackBuild script. The script is already in the “pending” queue, and the packages are being [...]
