postinstall scripts

 

In August, Stefan Fiedlers postinstall script support[1] found its way into

'mine', the package management tool for ROCK. Now there's also support for

them in the ROCK scripts[2] and some packages adapted to use install time

configuration with postinstall instead of manual or even compile time

configuration.

Package maintainers, please make use of this feature where appropriate!

devfs/udev for ROCK 3.0

 

With the removal of devfs from the Linux kernel it was decided that ROCK 3.0

needs at least perfect support for udev[1]. Development in this direction

will be coordinated by Benjamin 'blindcoder' Schieder so if you want to make

some development in this direction, please talk to him or directly to the

mailinglist to avoid doing the same work twice.

(EVENT) Linuxtag Dresden

 

Daniel 'daja77' Jahre got us a booth at the Linux Info Tag Dresden 2005[1].

It is a one day show at the 29. October 2005. If you are in the area at that

time we'll be happy if you pay us a visit!

(BETA) fisheye server

 

There's a fisheye[1] server for ROCK Linux set up now and currently in

betatesting[2]. It gives a nice feature set like annotated code viewing

and RSS feeds for any part of the repository you want to.

With the introduction of fisheye, Clifford Wolf also set up a SPL[3] script

which fixes the 'author' tag of the ROCK Linux repository[4].

This makes 'svn blame' give meaningful information now.
