[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] Linux Virtual Server 1.1.6 released (IPVS for kernel 2.5 branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '1.1.6' of 'Linux
Virtual Server' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful
information can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/linuxvirtualserver/

The changes in this release are as follows:
The slow timer indexes are now initialized  correctly. It is now
possible to start the  master and backup sync daemons simultaneously,
 and SyncID support was added for filtering  incoming sync messages.
The method for  retrieving information about the daemons was 
changed, and the 2.5.70 Linux kernel is now  supported.  

Project description:
The Linux Virtual Server Project is an Open Source project to cluster
many real servers together into a highly available, high-performance
virtual server. The LVS handles connections from clients and passes
them on the the real servers (so-called Layer 4 switching) and can
virtualize almost any TCP or UDP service, like HTTP, HTTPS, NNTP,
FTP, DNS, ssh, POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, etc. It is fully transparent to the
client accessing the virtual service.

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] LILO 22.5.5-beta2 released (Beta branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '22.5.5-beta2' of
'LILO' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be
found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/lilo/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release makes the transition to "large-memory" loading of
extremely large initial ramdisks transparent to the user. Checks of
the hard disks on a system should now handle problem situations of
"duplicate volume IDs" in a smoother fashion. Careful avoidance of
WinNT volume ID changes has been incorporated. The "mkrescue" utility
now has a "--iso" option to make bootable CD rescue disks.  

Project description:
LILO is a Boot loader for Linux/x86 and other PC operating systems. It
is responsible for loading your Linux kernel from either a floppy or
a hard drive and passing control to it. It is capable of booting
beyond cylinder 1024 of a hard disk if the BIOS supports EDD packet
call extensions to the int 0x13 interface. LILO can also be used to
boot many other operating systems, including DOS, Windows (all
versions), OS/2, and the BSD variants. The LILO distribution includes
full source, documentation and support files.

of 'Postfix' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/postfix/

The changes in this release are as follows:
Address verification probes can now follow a different route than
ordinary mail. The queue file record reading loops in the pickup,
cleanup, and in the queue manager daemons have been completely
rewritten. All the fixes and workarounds in the 2.0.11 release are
included. 

Project description:
Postfix is an attempt to provide an alternative to the widely-used
Sendmail program. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer,

What I'm thinking now is we'll need another file for help variables.
i.e.  In the scripts/* files, in addition to:

  echo "INSTALL_$MYNAME=no" >> $SOFTWAREFILE
  echo "START_$MYNAME=no" >> $CONFIGFILE

We'll also add in each script:

  echo "HELP_$MYNAME=\"one line of help text\"" >> $HELPFILE

So "setup", and other programs, can source that file too.

Unless you can think of a better way to handle it?

I guess we will see if 80 characters are enough or not. I can't say

OK, soon.  First, I want to get a help system started for the INSTALL_*
and START_* env. items.  I have a question on the best way to do that.

With Dialog, I have a couple options.  I can add a help button, and have
it go to a page full of help info. (like lxconfig/menuconfig does now)

Or, I can add a single line of text on the bottom line of the menu that
automatically changes as the person arrows to the different items.

Or we can do both.

Personally I like the single line option because it'll be a LOT easier
to program.  Do you think one 80 character line is enough info for help?

No problem.  I'm just giving you a hard time.  :-)

I've been working on rewriting the setup script using "dialog" 
(the real dialog, not lxdialog).  It looks MUCH BETTER (IMO).

I may upload a copy on the ftp site for people to look at before I add
it to DL.  It'll need to be run on a distro other than DL with "dialog"
installed.  I know Redhat comes with "dialog", and I suspect other
distro's do too.

Anyone running a distro w/"dialog" installed want to take a peek?

OK, before I add it I'm going to do a little more research, and actually
get a script started using "dialog", to make sure it'll do the job.

When I add it, is it OK to add it as part of the base distro???
(NOT selectable in menuconfig)  So the setup script will always run.

I'll look into how some other distributions do this, later.

I've been looking a lot at "lxdialog" a lot.  Due to lack of
documentation that I can find, I've been reverse engineering the
menuconfig script, and have even looked at the C code.  I think I
understand how it works now.

> I see Redhat has a package called "dialog" which lxdialog is based on.

Then I started comparing the functionality of "lxdialog" and "dialog".
For my use on a "setup" program, the standard "dialog" program  
( http://hightek.org/dialog/ ) would be much nicer.  

"dialog" is a more powerful program, and would make the shell script a
lot easier and smaller.

The largest advantage I noticed is "dialog" can do check-lists and
radio-lists with one program call.  It lets you [un]select items with
the space bar all within a single program execution, and returns all the
item(s) selected.  You don't have to put it in a shell script loop and
redraw the screen every time a new item is [de]selected.

Since we need to add either "lxdialog" or "dialog" to the distribution
so it exists on the CD for my program, I recommend we add "dialog".
Thoughts?  Comments?  Questions?  ...  Go ahead and add it?  :-)
