Reminder: Meeting Thurs 7 PM

by Andy Stewart

HI Everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting which will be held on Thursday, Feb. 10th at 7:00 PM in the usual place. Our guest speaker will be Scott Venier, a long time WLUG member, who will be discussing Vesta, a software configuration management system. Vesta is a portable SCM system targeted at supporting development of software systems of almost any size, from fairly small (under 10,000 source lines) to very large (10,000,000 source lines). It is both a revision control system and a build system. Vesta provides full automatic dependency detection and guarantees exact repeatability of any build. See ya there!

CUPS + Accounting System

by Chuck Haines

Does anyone have any experience / know of an accounting system that I can use with CUPS? I'm getting ready to migrate our print server from lprng to cups, but I need a new accounting software. The only one is homebrew, but I'd like to move to something more sophisticated if possible. The only basic needs I have for the accounting system is to set a price per page and have the costs and page counts dumb to MySQL so my web front end will work.

But I have boards based on the same chipsets as the Peg and I know it is currently being tested with 2.6.11... I have been helping out with the chipset dev under 2.4 and 2.6. Are you just curious about who is doing what or do you need some help. I would be more than happy to help you bring it up under 2.6 becuse it would give another test point. Thanks Brian

Al did point out a problem with a umount call in the middle of a inotify operation, but someone else (Mike Waychison) provided a patch for that problem. (Which may or may not be accepted, but Robert seems to like it). (FOI "For other's information" - background) Inotify is supposed to provide the low level dnotify-like functionality but with a much lower resource impact. I like that (assuming it can be done.) I've always hated seeing how much CPU fam was using, it seems like such a waste for something that appears to be trivial. (but like all things, may be harder than they appear). -- http://www.scaled.com/projects/tierone/ http://www.fedoratracker.org http://www.fedorafaq.org http://www.fedoranews.org Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA.

I think I remember seeing something about Gentoo supporting the Genesi hardware platform... There is some connection between the two - I think Genesi is a supporter or Gentoo and that they also will be selling PPC boxes with Gentoo pre-installed. All in the name of Open Desktop. -Jared On Tue, 01 Feb 2005 23:04:08 -0500, Webmaster <webmaster(a)atari-users.net> wrote: > A Pegasos is a PPC based system.
