Devops Needs Sushi
The Devops crowd does not have it’s own devroom at Fosdem but will be meeting on Friday evening for food in a location close to the BeerEvent.
If you want to join us please let us know by voting on your favourite choice of Food. Using this doodle.
There’s already about 15 people that are voting for the food selection ….
Plan is to meet outside of the BeerEvent around 2000 and
then move to a preferred food location.
So when you setup an aggregator there’s this one thing you miss from a regular planet …the list of blogs with their individual Feeds.
I wanted to use this for planet.loadays.org again and realized I don’t know where I got this snippet from or if I wrote it myselve or whatever .. but I do realize that unless I document it here I won’t be able to point other people to it again :) So just create a block like this one :
So a couple of weeks ago I blogged about DNS Knife late last year I ran into an even better tool.
Enter IntoDNS
Apparently IntoDNS.com finds more issues like the zone file listing different nameservers from the ones you defined …etc..
So change your bookmarks, browse that page :)
Dear Drupal Community,
If any of you are interrested in getting a packaged version of Drupal 6 into Fedora’s EPEL repository (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) and therefore usable in RHEL and Centos,
please comment on the Bug I filed to get it’s introduction started.
Any pitfalls, benefits etc are welcome ..
thnx in advance !
After all the politics involved in getting a package in a distro, or not it was time for a nice small and clean package of a fresh and promising open source project. Djagios was an easy choice.
I’ve uploade the rpm and Source RPM to repo.inuits.be and getting the SPEC file in the upstream repo was 10 minutes work.
Next step is to get it into Fedora , and EPEL :)
A couple of weeks ago I was once again manually installing Drush as there were no packages for CentOS / EPEL or whatever, apart from the needed patch to get it running on a 5.1.X RHEL php
I had found this thread on Drupal.org mentioning that a package already exists
however David had not answered the exact location yet
So I created a drush package with a with the above mentionned patch and sent it to Jon Ciesla again he gave some suprising feedback ;)
Some of you might have noticed that Fedora 11 and up already have an up to date Drupal6 version, but EPEL , which is what a lot of people are using on their CentOS or RHEL builds only has a Drupal5. I asked Jon Ciesla, who is maintaing the Drupal packages in Fedora why :
Because when Drupal was initially built for EL-5 and EL-5, the 5.x
branch was the current release. It’s up to date, 5.20 is the most
recent release, and is still supported upstream in terms of security
fixes. 6 is out, and has been for awhile, but we have the following:
Barcamp Gent 3, the one that took place yesterday is probably going to be my last Barcamp in Belgium. I already had my doubts upfront when looking at the suggested talks, but once there I realized it was much worse than I expected.
Lemme repoint you folks to what I wrote about the first Barcamp in Belgium back in 2006
Maybe my expectations on what kind of people / talks to meet and see there were a bit wrong.. when looking at other barcamps where people such as whurley and Moshe were present, I was maybe hoping for a bit more of system level innovation etc. or at least more technology innovation rather than Bloggers meet and talk about Blogging tools. I wasn’t sure on what I should talk about as most of the topics I usually speak about would have been so out of scope and probably wouldn’t have reached any potientiel audience.\

Too bad the majority of the audience already knew what I was a bout to say ….
Lots of people writing about Snorkle again today ,Monty Says, help saving MySQL
He gives us different options, a , b or c .. but I , and some others, want an option d
No I don’t trust Oracle, it’s not like they have been a very good Open Source Citizen, yes they contribute to the kernel and other projects but my feeling says it’s only because they have to (Kernel, Xen and others ) not because they Want to (thinking about Unfakable etc) , if they would really want to they probably would work with the CentOS community more etc, and as Monty mentions their InnoDB track record could be better.
