yet another 0.4 review

Estimated read time: 1 minutes

here. also the title is not exactly correct as probably a release candidate was tested :)

bogofilter && mutt

Estimated read time: 1 minutes

i've just set up bogofilter with mutt, it was sooo easy! :)

first you should collect some spam and ham (non-spam) to separate (Maildir) folders

then bogofilter -s -B ~/Maildir/spam/, bogofilter -n -B ~/Maildir/ham. the basic learning is done

to your procmailrc: :0fw | /usr/bin/bogofilter -uep :0: * ^X-Bogosity: Spam .Spam/

finally i've added a macro to my muttrc to be able to simply tell bogofilter it missed something (haven't noticed a spam): macro index S "bogofilter -Ns" (you can add a similar macro for "bogofilter -Sn" - "hey, this is not a spam" - if you want)

that's all :)


java enabled openoffice.org

Estimated read time: 1 minutes

after a few days of work (and headache) we (me and janny) put togother a java-enabled version of the openoffice.org package. we built the development milestone (m163) of OOo, so it won't hit -current till 2.0.3 is released. ideally this should re-enable features like help and others which were missing since 2.0.0. at the moment the x86_64 packages are available, but janny will upload i686 ones soon, too

pacman db debug howto

Estimated read time: 1 minutes

I've written a short howto about how to debug a pacman database error as I was asked many time to do so for others. So there it is, now i can say simply RTFM ;)

cheap sed & bash tricks

Estimated read time: 1 minutes

probably this is known, but i've just figured out how to get rid of grep when i use

foo |grep ... |sed ...
the magic command is
foo |sed -n '/^match/s/foo/bar/p'

if we're at it, you can even get rid of sed if you use bash and just want to do simple replaces like 1.0 -> 1_0:

$ pkgver=1.0
$ echo ${pkgver//./_}
1_0_0

two intereting tricks remained. the first is about deleting from a pattern to an another one (including both line)

$ echo -e 'a\nb\nc\nd\ne'
a
b
c
d
e
$ echo -e 'a\nb\nc\nd\ne' |sed /b/,/d/d
a
e

the last one is about deleting to the end of the file from a pattern:

$ echo -e 'a\nb\nc\nd\ne' |sed '/c/,$d'
a
b

ok, that's all for today :)

(other nice tricks here)

openoffice upstream fix

Estimated read time: 1 minutes

upstream at Novell is very fast, they've already fixed the problem mentioned yesterday. so one should be really able to build OOo on x86_64 with the usual simple sudo makepkg -R :)
