i've just noticed that finally ftp.heanet.ie has no more "connection timed out" errors, so we have a new fast full mirror :)

it suppors ftp, http and rsync. it has been added to the homepage and to pacman-g2's darcs

another howto, i needed to install it as we use it at the university. it's a binary application, but at least i'm not foced to use it with wine :)

the howto is here

i've written a small howto about $subject ;)

you can reach it here

the bitlbee server @ im.rootdir.de seems to be down for several days, so finally i've decided to switch to testing.bitlbee.org. luckily the buddy list was not lost, just the -> nick anjd -> nick bindings and the bitlbee settings

we have some problem using the normal dns at the university so we finally decided to use opendns. it seems to be working fine so far :)

probably you already faced with the following problem: if you past a shellscript to vim, then it's indented, so the last line of the script will have tons of whitespaces at the start of the line. there are two problems here:

1. how to disable indenting temporarily? use :paste and :nopaste
2. how to indent the text after the paste? mark the lines you want to indent in visual mode (use V) then == will indent them :)

i've just discovered my name in diamanda wiki's install script :) (search for "Miklos")

officially called ooe680-m2, the first snapshot of the ooe680 tree which will become openoffice.org-2.1 has been uploaded. as usual you can find the buildscript in -current (enable the 'devel' option) and the binary x86_64 fpms here

darcs-deps is a small perl script that displays darcs patch dependencies graphically. i've created a test repo with the following changes:

1. a simple shell script with lines foo and bar
2. changed foo to foo2 (this should depend on #1)
3. changed bar to bar2 (same)
4. changed foo2 to foo3 (this should depend on #2 but not on #3)
5. added a new file to the end of the file (should depend on #4)

perl darcs-deps | dot -Tps -o deps.eps convert deps.eps deps.jpg

here is the result:

nice, isn't it? :)

i've just figured out how to append long comments to darcs patches from a script: $ echo "date +"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" > VMiklos <vmiklos@frugalware.org> > name > long > comment" | dr rec -a --pipe
