Development

Today I have finally started my lightweight fork of FreeBSD. The methodlity taken was, use the official mirror (cvsup5.cn)’s cvsup service and derive my own repository with CVSup’s local repository ablity by disabling its delete function, and exploiting FreeBSD’s stock CVS’s local branch numbering feature.

I object re-inventing wheels and we did it. I need to re-implement some code based on PAL and replace the old ones.

Wow… Erwin Lansing is requesting for a pointy hat with a blinking light in the top :-)

Today I have finally get postfix 2.1.1 running on beastie.frontfree.net (2.1.0 lived there for four hours before it was replaced with 2.1.1 after it replaced 2.0.20 :-) )

Today Joe Marcus Clarke [marcus@, a member of portmgr@] has announced that the port freeze for FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE has been released. Now FreeBSD ports has been tagged as RELEASE_4_10_0.

Wietse Venema has released postfix 2.1-RELEASE, after a prolonged test and release cycle. postfix 2.1 has several major improvements over the postfix 2.0 series, the documentation is completely rewritten, and the anti-spam features is extensively improved.

Wietse Venema has released postfix 2.1-RC5 yesterday, and this is expected to be the final Release Candidate of postfix 2.1-RELEASE.

Finally the long-awaited gcc 3.4.0 RELEASE has been released. When will it be ported to FreeBSD’s main tree?

I have turned on cvs commit activities check on cvs.delphij.net. This will help us to have more accurate work statistion. This was done by writing a script named “awake” and some tweaks in CVSROOT/log_accum.pl

Today FreeBSD has upgraded CVS in their source tree, from 1.11.5 to 1.11.15, which addresses numerous security issues.
