Just changed my web server from Apache over to lighttpd. Wasn’t that much of a chore, just had to emerge 1.4.4 so that I get working ldap authentication via ssl/tls and emerge dev-lang/php with the cgi USE flag and voila.The site seems to be a bit snappier - especially horde as php no longer seems to segfault with iconv/utf8 errors 8).
Why did I change? Well, apache changing things around annoyed me and it takes a long time to emerge it.
dhcpcd-2.0.0 went stable on all platforms a few days ago- due to the vast amount of bugs reported since it went stable on amd64 and x86 (zero), it’s a good time to prune the old ebuilds.
This means that you have to use baselayout-1.11.x as older versions used the-z “release lease but cache IP” no longer works. It didn’t work anyway from the DHCP servers perspective so you loose nothing :)
Got back yesterday evening from a stag weekend in Edinburgh. At work today and I’m still munted :sick:It was a fantastic blast in which the 8 legendary lads broke all beer drinking records whilst managing to avoid limb breakage whilst learning to snow board!Although we didn’t take any cameras (Jon took his camcorder for the snowboarding though) I do have a picture of what the Stag (the groom to be, not me) looked like, taken from earlier in the year[[Screenshot(92,width=523,height=392)]]Let’s hope that he looks a bit more sober for his wedding :)
ifplugd is similar to netplug. A few days ago, I wrote a netplug module for baselayout. Writing one for ifplugd was a little more tricky as I had to alter the ifplugd init script a fair bit so they don’t conflict with each other. Luckily, with a few recent baselayout enchancements we can now work out which init scripts launched which daemons via start-stop-daemon calls :)
To make things more consistent with other baselayout modules, you have to specify the exact options you want over the defaults like so ifplugd_eth0="--api-mode=wlan"
