  1. Re:Surly this is just a formality on Apache May Stop 1.3, 2.0 Series Releases · · Score: 5, Informative

    As per http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/1.3.x/README , the proposal (Full disclosure: I'm colm@apache.org - the proposer), was that we would start distributing security patches via;

        http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/

    The main point is to reduce the overhead and burden of creating full releases. Releases take a large amount of community involvement and time, and are becoming impractical. The 1.3.x branch does not even build on many modern platforms - for example the configure script is incompatible with dash and there is a getline() function which conflicts with a glibc neologism.

    Hope that helps.

  2. Last years was very good on HC03 Is Nearly Upon Us · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Last years was indeed excellent, I particularly liked Jaya Baloo's presentation on Lawful Interception and on the whole was very impressed by the inaugural Hivercon. It's small enough so that you can be seated right next to Richard Thieme for Lunch, and big enough so that you can learn some valuable information. Highly recommened, oh and also it's in Dublin, nice and close for some of us ;)

  3. Re:freenet6 on IPv6 Tunnel Brokers? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Having used 6to4 anycast tunnels for years and SixXS tunnels for months, I have to agree that they are an excellent form of IPv6 connectivity.

    As far as IPv6 programming goes, there's really nothing to it, most of the trick is getaddrinfo. The excellent KAME summary should get you started.

  4. SixXS on IPv6 Tunnel Brokers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    SixXS is an excellent IPv6 tunnel broker for people in the RIPE region.

    And remember, if you can't find a nearby tunnel broker you can always try the 6to4 anycast address for /48 tunnels 192.88.99.1 .

  5. Direct Link on Clock Ticking for Hubble · · Score: -1, Redundant
  6. The March of Progress on Linux Kernel 2.4.21 Released · · Score: 1
