Kudos for SUSE developers for their great speed in answering bugzilla tickets. I’ve never seen so fast responses in any other bug tracker system around. The average response time for my open bugs or comments is 1 minute, and the average solution time is close to 1 hour. That’s great! Thank you all guys!

Após um longo tempo sem publicar nada interessante, estou liberando dois tutoriais que derivaram de meus serviços de consultoria:

- Anti-Spam em SUSE 10.0
- Antii-Spam Gateway para MS Exchange com SUSE 10.0

Os dois tutoriais são bastante específicos, e aplicam-se diretamente ao SUSE 10.0, com ou sem Exchange 5.5. Ambos resultaram de uma experiência bastante positiva em um cliente meu, e que já está em produção desde janeiro de 2006, e portanto pode-se considerar 100% estável.

Infelizmente não tive tempo nem paciência de traduzir para o inglês, pois o documento foi originalmente escrito em português como parte da documentação da solução do cliente. Se alguém quiser contribuir com a tradução, aceito ajuda.

Espero que gostem! Façam bom proveito!

Ps.: Não esqueçam de acompanhar o meu blog para saber das novidades.

Quando instalei o SUSE 10.1beta8, vi que o KDE vinha com a verificação ortográfica habilitada por padrão. Nunca prestei atenção se isso estava ou não estava configurado no SUSE 10.0, mas no novo me incomodou porque qualquer formulário que eu preenchia no Konqueror era checado pelo verificador, e a falta do dicionário (ispell-brazilian) fazia ele marcar em vermelho quase todas as palavras (já que ele estava como padrão o ispell-american). Depois de um pequeno ticket, o problema foi prontamente resolvido.

Não que o suporte a português brasileiro do SUSE seja ruim (muito pelo contrário, é melhor do que muita gente pensa, e talvez melhor que o Mandriva), mas na minha opinião cada detalhezinho conta (positivo ou negativo).

After a little fight [:)] and one bug ticket, ndiswrapper finally got back to the install CDs. It has been removed because SUSE kernel maintainers found it was quite difficult to support it, but after some user tips ([1] [2]) they decided to include it again. I’ll be checking it again on next beta (or RC). Thanks Andrea Jaeger!

I’ve just installed SUSE 10.1beta8 on my laptop, and started to hunt for bugs. Initially there are two that annoyed me:

• Bug 160804 - ndiswrapper missing on install CDs
• Bug 160805 - Move kde3-i18n-pt to CD 2

I also find an interesting bug with package counting during install, but I would need to run a reinstall to confirm.

It’s been a long time since my last bug hunting. I almost forgot how fun it is!

After a long time without any package builds, here are two brand new: txt2tags-2.3-1 and jSMS-2.32-1. You can find both in my SUSE 10.0 personal repository.

Since this blog is syndicated at Planet Suse and (I guess) some of the readers didn’t have access to this note, I think it’s interesting to spread the word. (Free translation)

The article “Novell expects 40% growth in Brazil” (original text in portuguese) explains that only in the first quarter of 2006, “Novell has duplicated it’s incomes on Linux and security markets in Brazil, compared with the same period in 2005. (…) The country currently represents half of Novell’s market share in Latin America, and it’s clearly the most important”.

Hint! Hint!

Considering the recent announcements on OpenSUSE-factory mailing list regarding future dropping of YaST2/YOU repos for SUSE in favor of RPMMD/ZenWorks, and considering I am the one who is in charge of developing the YaST2 support, there’s something I need to say.

Our plans of adding YOU repos to Smart has been delayed. We’ll be waiting for the final release of SUSE 10.1 to make a final decision about it. Meanwhile, anyone who is using YaST2 repositories should add the old APT ones for “update” and “security” (which are officialy implemented in YOU).

The YaST2 support on Smart remains maintained, and is planned to be merged on the main code by the next official release.

Thank you.

Yesterday I released the first public patch to add YaST2 support into Smart.

- Mailing list announcement
- Additional note
- Tracker entry

I’m expecting to hear from the brave people that are willing to test it.

Yesterday I received the green light from Gustavo Niemeyer to start coding YaST2 repository support into Smart. It will take some weeks (probably months) to get it working stable, but I’ll have Pascal Bleser and Christoph Thiel working along, helping me understand and testing it. We hope we can get it working with as much capabilities as possible.
