That Fleming Gent Meets Leonidas

Posted by Michael Fleming on Jun 13 2009 in Linux, fedora | 0 comments

My long-running repository at ThatFlemingGent (or “Enlartenment” for those who haven’t caught up) is live and ready for use.

As releases have progressed the list I offer has become smaller, as many have been pulled into Fedora proper (either by me or other Fedora contributors), died upstream or just dropped due to lack of my/visitor interest

There’s only 58 packages this time – long gone are the old (pre-)Extras days when I had 140+ :-)

Highlights: well, there’s um… the GNOME Internode Applet![1]. yet another webserver in Hiawatha! (Think lighttpd with a security focus) – the AIM and MSN Python Jabber/XMPP Transports… A bunch of Wordpress plugins (oh how I’m jonesing for a 2.7/2.8 package for F10!) and other small but useful tools, especially for random hackers and systems people.

There’s a couple of non-starters that I’m still working on – namely the Courier suite (authlib won’t build at the moment, I’m trying to work out why) and the MySQL-memcache UDF functions (memcached_functions_mysql in F9/F10). They’ll be added as soon as they build correctly.

Enjoy, and feel free to drop me a line if you have a suggestion / problem :-)

[1] Internode is my ISP, one of the highest regarded in Australia and for good reason, they’re stable -and it’s owner/CEO Simon isn’t averse to being pranked either:
