that's all from the user's point of view, internally the whole package-to-sqldb script is redesigned and the sql db itself, too.

examples: reverse deps, browse by group

the new db updater here

today's project is fwmirror, a handy tool to mirror Frugalware archives. basically it handles the followings:

• it needs a server, if you want the newest stuff and don't care about being slow, then you need "rsync://rsync.frugalware.org/pub/frugalware/"
• it handles different Frugalware versions (NOTE: since -current has a new structure, versions other than -current will be supported by fwmirror only after 0.5)
• it handles different architectures, including the special "source" one
• it allows you to pass any custom options to rsync

ok, not a big deal, but useful, isn't it? :)

the xml that is sent to cia now contains darcsweb urls for the patches, the messages sent to frugalware-darcs, too :)

1) managed to prevent mutt from asking for confirmation before passing a mail to bogofilter + now it deletes the message automatically

macro index S "unset wait_key\n\ bogofilter -Ns;date +%y%m%d >>~/public_html/stats/spam_s\n\ set wait_key\n\ "

2) improved the generated graph: now there are two ones: filtered and unfiltered

3) added an avarage number to both graph

darcs repo still available here

yesterday i've splitted mysql to mysql and libmysqlclient. hopefully this will mean that several apps that depended till now on the whole (30mb-sized) mysql, now can only depend on libmysqlclient (2mb-sized or so) :)

...has been uploaded to you-know-where

this time the build was even quicker, "only" 582 mins :)

i've recently added 2 small flags to the newest (m176) OpenOffice.org development snapshot FrugalBuild resulting significant building speedup. in numbers, the build time with 4 languages is 591 mins currently, while before it was 680 minutes (13 percent difference). basically the 2 tricks:

• --disable-qadevooo: don't build automated testing tools, we don't need them and the build takes a hell of time
• --enable-gcjaot: the java tools used during the build are now native binaries (compiled using gcj)

in -current we replaced bootsplash with splashy. it's a splash implementation fully in userspace, thus we no longer need any kernel patches

to support splashy, the kbd, grub, gfxboot and sysvinit packages has been updated, too

there was an effort about generating the packages' post_install (and other) scriptlet functions dynamically. this is done via using the magic

Finclude gnome-scriptlet

command. the parameters you can includes _F_gnome_schemas(), _F_gnome_scrollkeeper, _F_gnome_desktop and so on. where it was possible the original scriptlet has been removed and now automatically generated. enjoy! :)

adslconfig has been merged with netconfig and this point all the old config scripts has been ported to frugalwareutils, namely: grubconfig, mouseconfig, netconfig, raidconfig, timeconfig, xconfig and xwmconfig

time to remove this very old item from my TODO ;)
