When you vote next week in Fedora Elections, try to do it during the workweek. The Infrastructure is moving to a new datacenter.
Just remember that the move is happening. Of course don’t forget to vote.

Mac OS X Server just can’t be taken seriously. Why?
A couple things:
To further that, Apple seems to take NO interest in virtualization. I haven’t seen one peep out of them about it. They simply sell desktop-class virtualization products in their store.
So if Apple wants to MAN UP and write some virtualization stuff, then they can be taken seriously.
I mean really. Virtualization is taking the world by storm, and Apple, the company that is supposed to be all hip and such is not participating. Every single product on the current Macintosh line supports hardware virtualization. Apple does nothing with that fact.
It’s sad. Just sad.
Not only did cPanel take forever to “install” it also didn’t completely install.
It also messed with all sorts of files. Including the yum configuration file.
Now I’m trying to sort out at least Apache.
In short, don’t EVER try to use cPanel. EVER.
Yes, Fedora 12, Constantine has been released. This release is focused on reinforcing stability, as well as making the desktop easier for new users. I’m hosting a release party on IRC, #Main on theoks.net.
You can read the new features in Fedora 12 on this wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/12/FeatureList
Day One of the Fedora Talk Activity day is over.
Here’s some very quick wrapping up:
Things will continue tomorrow at I don’t know what time. I didn’t hear that part.
The conference has taken place on talk.fedoraproject.org, extension 2001.
You mostly likely know that I’m a proud contributor to the Fedora Project. I helped out a bit on blogs.fedoraproject.org and I generally also keep the wiki clean. However, I haven’t ever made a package.
So my first packaging adventure is packaging the IRC bot library that ScriptBot uses.
One word: pain.
There’s a few nuances with PircBot. It comes as a jar with source inside it as well as the compiled classes. I extracted the source, made it usable for RPM to build. I scrapped the binaries, and put it into a traditional tarball. So apparently that doesn’t work.
Next, I found RPM wasn’t making a buildroot correctly. So I had to make a hack around that.
Then, it came to the install path. There’s a page on the Fedora Project Wiki apparently. But I didn’t know that! It’s not linked from the frequently visited Packaging pages.
After getting it to build, it went through a scratch build on Koji, then I filed for review on Bugzilla.
That’s when I found the page for Fedora’s Java packaging guidelines. I apparently did need documentation (although all I can put is a link, the documentation isn’t really pullable from the website). So I ended marking the bug for my request as CLOSED DEFERRED.
Expect a part two post when I actually get Pircbot into the repos. Also likely is a part three when ScriptBot itself gets in.
See the ScriptBot project page at scriptbot.theoks.net.
Spam is always a problem. It’s a problem for everyone. Blocking it is also a problem. You can lots of the time have false positives. Which gets annoying. Also when your anti-spam doesn’t block enough. Or when it gets in your way. Maybe it doesn’t even work with your specific software.
I have spam problems too. SpamAssassin is the most well known open source mail-based anti-spam solution. The developers behind SpamAssassin need your help. They need you to submit “ham” and “spam” mail in order to teach SpamAssassin to recognize new spammer techniques.
Check the project out at this wiki page.
Yep. Spammers. Relentless. Annoying.
I hate them. You probably do too.
They post random, meaningless crap like “I has ur solutoin to ur prolem. Get Iflackeg today! http://bit.ly/something”
What they want you to get is spyware. Nothing good for you.
I just wanted to rerant about this. I last posted about this here.
