  1. Re:Could Someone Clariffy... on ext3fs in Linus' Kernel Tree · · Score: 1

    Andrew Morton is the maintainer of ext3 for 2.4. Alan Cox just merged it in his -ac branch.

  2. Re:can somebody tell me.. on ext3fs in Linus' Kernel Tree · · Score: 1

    Sorry to say that, but production sites like Rpmfind.Net use ext3 in the last ~2 years without any troubles. About XFS, I don't care, but do a search here to know why Linus won't include it before 2.5.

    I'm using it since the first 2.4 version (0.0.1) for 2.4.5 without any problems.

    Anybody know how to upgrade a Courier V. Everything to V.92 ? Of course, from Linux. I heard you can with minicom, but don't know the right steps.

  8. Re:Where's the source tarball ?? on Mozilla 0.9.5 · · Score: 1

    BTW, patches against releases are welcome :-) I'm not sure if a patch generated with say 'cvs rdiff -u -r MOZILLA_0_9_3_RELEASE -r MOZILLA_0_9_4_RELEASE mozilla > mozilla-0.9.3-0.9.4.patch' and applied on the 0.9.3 sources would produce the same contents of the 0.9.4 .tar.[bz2|gz] sources.

  9. Re:Where's the source tarball ?? on Mozilla 0.9.5 · · Score: 1
    I meant that Mozilla uses 'cvs checkout' when I update from say MOZILLA_0_9_3_RELEASE to MOZILLA_0_9_4_RELEASE. Last time it took ~50 minutes to update it, while downloading the tar.bz2 was ~80 on my 56K dial-up. I bet 'cvs update -r MOZILLA_0_9_4_RELEASE mozilla' would take less than 15 minutes. Yes, downloading the differences is much better. I really don't know why Mozilla uses a different setup for CVS...

    Anyway, I still think it's a bad thing to not release binaries and sources at the same time. All other OpenSource projects do that.

  10. Re:Where's the source tarball ?? on Mozilla 0.9.5 · · Score: 1

    CVS isn't an option, and when you realize that Mozilla uses make, tee, and cvs co (yes, checkout) instead of cvs up... Really, why use CVS for Mozilla when you can't update the sources without checking out all modified files ?

    You can use egcs 1.1.2, although the recommended compiler in Documentation/Changes for 2.4.10 changed to GCC 2.95.3 or .4.

  16. I don't regret on ZDNet Discontinues AppWatch · · Score: 1
    As one of the authors of AppWatch, I can't regret what happened. You can read my side of the story at AppWatch.org. John proved to be wrong. All I can say is that I regret what happened before the sale, not after. I thought about creating a new AppWatch (I registered greputils.{com,org}), but am no longer interested (still, you can try to persuade me).

    BTW, I remember when we announced the launch of AppWatch on several sites and the only to reject it was... Slashdot. We talked with Hemos by e-mail and his excuse was that there were ~100 submissions like ours by day. But now I can thank you for ignoring our announcement. You know the story.
