since we include ada/gnat in our gcc package, it's a bit tricky to build it for the first time, so i've written a wiki page about this. also the x86_64 packages for gcc-4.1 are ready, too.

today's task is to build gcc using ccache. it is not done automatically as gcc uses xgcc for most of the time, but there is a moslty usable howto available. ok, the log is nice, ccache is used, but the compiler cache is empty... so still need to figure out what's happening :/

update: dunno what was wrong, but on the buildserver it works fine! :) update2: now the i686 packages are available

ok, rc1 is out so let's do something earth-breaking ;)

bumped lua to 5.1. 3 patches were needed: 1, 2 (ok, one is Frugalware-specific)

as a first step the elinks patch has been submitted.

ffmpeg devs recommend everyone to use cvs, not the "formal" releases. ok, let's do it, but then we have to the apps for the recent changes. for now, vlc has been fixed

this was yesterday, but probably still a news

so in the (not so good) old times we used some up2date.foo scripts to have a common $up2date variable for several FrugalBuilds. these are ugly and are broken in chroot. the "new" trend is to use Finclude for these scripts. yesterday the last up2date.thunderbird-i18n file was removed, so this big merge ended. so far we have already 20 scheme :)

probably the next will be to get rid of the old 'x' dependency in all packages (mostly done already)

i just wanted to search with google from C, and found that there is no out-of-the box sollution for this, so i've made one. available here

just finished another regression test for the testsuite: srcmissing, which searches for missing (not yet mirrored) source tarballs (and optionally downloads them). available here

in the last two days i was working on creating an initial testsuite for the source tree. what does works:

• cleaning outdated fpms
• cleaning outdated sources

this is the harder part imho what is planned:

• list missing fpms (maybe not needed? checkpkgs does the same)
• download all missing sources
• check for syntax errors
• check for required directives

i always was lame to the advanced usage of chanserv - and now again, i had to do something. the task was simple: set up autovoice'ing for a channel at freenode

so the two magic command:

/msg ChanServ LEVEL #chan SET autovoice 1

and then for each user:

/msg ChanServ ACCESS #chan ADD username 1

that's all ;)

just a 2 cheap trick with vim for other C monkeys:

:map  :set makeprg=make:w:make
:map  :set makeprg=make\ test:w:make

(probably these explain themselves)

the other nice feature: move to a funcion and press K: that will show the manpage of the function
