Software project news and other things.

QPwmc development

I’ve been updating qpwmc-git (in development and formally known as pwmdEdit) to use the new features of libpwmd-git and pwmd-git. I’ve added a newly published QPwmc page and also has some screenshots to show the progress.

PWMD 3.0 development

The next branch of the pwmd git repository contains what will be version 3.0 of pwmd. It has quite a few changes and enhancements along with new requirements for building. Please send feeback to the pwmd mailing list.

New Exim 4.74 patch

Version 4.74 of Exim has a few changes to how modules are built. This new libpwmd patch contains the required build fixes and also sleeps one second when looping over EPWMD_FILE_MODIFIED.

Signed-off-by: and git

I have just discovered what the Signed-off-by: line in a git commit means to most people. I assumed that it was the person who committed the commit and not necessarily the person who wrote it. This is a mistake on my part. It should be considered the person who wrote or submitted the patch. So when you see these lines in previous git commits please think of them as the Author: name and email and not mine own.

pwmd 2.20 released

Now exits when adding a file to the cache on startup fails. This can be overridden with the new –ignore command line option. The VERSION command now appends compile time features to the version number. This version also contains a few minor bugfixes. Download it here.

userinfo 2.3 released

Contains utmp[x] portability fixes and safer strncat(3) usage. It also fixes showing dead utmpx login entries. Download it here.

userinfo project

I noticed that the FreeBSD ports page had a build failure and this led to fixing utmpx support (hopefully, I need someone to test it) under FreeBSD 9.0. It also led to discovery of bad strncat() usage among other things. Please tell me if you find any bugs by cloning the git repository so I can create a new release after almost 4 years.

libpwmd 6.0.5 released

Fixes an annoying bug when doing an inquire with pwmc. No longer show the help header when not in interactive mode and also only once per inquire. Download it here.

libpwmd 6.0.4 released

Version 6.0.4 has a few portability fixes and also has pwmc interactive mode bug fixes and improvements. Download it here.

Mailing lists

I’ve created mailing lists for pwmd and libpwmd. You can subscribe to them by visiting their project pages.

I’ve also rearranged how each project is accessed on SourceForge to use a virual host.
