O Blog do Gustavo Felisberto

Every once in a while I get tired of KDE/Gnome with all those bells and stuff.

Specially now that I have to use memory intensive software like Eclipse and Visual Paradigm.

For those interested in the ugly MIDLet running on the emulator. I HATE drawing stuff in java, so this was a conquest.

Due to my work for the next two semesters being increased I’m going to have to drop my maintainer status for some of the packages I handle. I’ll still keep a small number of packages that I really don’t want to let go.
Also, due to the fact that I’ll no longer be running ~amd64 but am going the stable way it is possible I’ll give a greater help there.

The list of orphans is:

app-crypt/qca
app-crypt/qca-tls
net-ftp/pure-ftpd
net-ftp/pureadmin
net-ftp/proftpd
net-im/jit
net-im/jud
net-im/mercury-bin
net-im/pymsn-t
net-im/psi
net-im/aim-transport
net-im/mu-conference
net-im/yahoo-transport
net-im/msn-transport
net-im/gabber
net-im/jabberd
net-im/gg-transport
net-mail/sendEmail
net-misc/blogtk
sci-misc/netlogo-bin
x11-themes/gkrellm-themes
x11-themes/zinf-themes
x11-themes/gdm-themes

I’ll update the metadata.xml to maintainer-needed during the next days.

About a week ago a friend of mine that was hosting his company web site in my server asked me if I could migrate it to a server of their own. He presented me with a Cobalt RaQ 4 for me to do the job.

This is a very old machine. And Sun as long droped any form of support for the software there. After some hard starts i found Jeff Walter’s nice Gentoo on Raq pages that gave me all the info needed.

The machine is very nice, the web led blinks when someone accesses apache and I have a way to write to the lcd, I just wanted a way to send the services that are starting to the lcd…. But that is easy now

Some bad bad issues with Mysql trashing a table and not having a recent backup have deleted all user comments made since January 10 2006. Sorry for the delay in solving this.
