Greetings, following is the weekly update for gpypi2 project. It's main purpose is to generate ebuilds from Python Package Index. Quick links to project info: Repository, issue tracker Hudson CI instance Sphinx documentation generated by hudson on each commit wiki/user stories for scrum development I'm more than happy to announce first pre-alpha prototype. Intended goal is to make people start using the tool and reporting back their critics. Install gpypi2 $ sudo pip install http://bitbucket.org/iElectric/g-pypi2/get/tip.zip or $ sudo easy_install http://bitbucket.org/iElectric/g-pypi2/get/tip.zip Create an ebuild

Elder is blooming again, charming people with its strong smell. Few friends asked me about how we make elderberry syrup at home, so I thought of opensourcing it;) Remember that every written part is important (I tried to bold the most important words). Ingredients: 30 elderberry blossoms 5L of water 3kg of sugar big spoon of Citronka about six 1L glass bottles with non-plastic closure Getting blossoms Blossoms should be chipped with scissors right after all small blossoms group together. As recipe says, 30 medium sized blossoms are recommended, but extra 4 or 5 will do no harm. Blossoms should not be put in plastic bag while collected, since they are very sensitive. Blossoms should be carefully picked, since we are not washing them before making syrup, just make sure there are no bugs around.

At last, so called Sauna Sprint 2010 has been announced. First of all, cheers to Nejc and Joni for all the work done. What is the story behind the Sauna Sprint? At the end of 2009, EESTEC IT team had a sprint at Chairpersons meet in Skopje (we had a great time, big thanks to organizers!). We created from scratch the new eestec.net portal (fully open-sourced and documented). So, the idea came to make a sauna sprint, hosted by Joni in Helsinki, that would eventually make Plone itself a tiny bit better world by our small team. Some of our experienced Plone developers will be introducing newcomers to Plone CMS. More details about the whole week can be found at plone.org.

After year and a half on Faculty of Electrical Engineering, I have managed to get working Eduroam WPA enterprise encryption on wicd networking client for GNU Linux (pretty good alternative to NetworkManager, but with Unix philosophy in mind). Here is wicd encryption template for wpa_supplicant: name = eap-ttls (Eduroam sl) version = 1 require anon_identity *Anonymous_Identity ca_cert *Path_to_CA_Cert identity *Identity password *Password ---- eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="$_ESSID" scan_ssid=$_SCAN proto=WPA WPA2 key_mgmt=WPA-EAP group=CCMP TKIP eap=TTLS mixed_cell=1 peerkey=1 phase2="auth=PAP" ca_cert="$_CA_CERT" anonymous_identity="$_ANON_IDENTITY" identity="$_IDENTITY" password="$_PASSWORD" } Cacert is actually not needed, but if I understand correctly it provides encryption for data traffic. Here is full procedure how to get eduroam working with wicd:

I managed to put together Redmine as issuetracker/wiki/younameit and mercurial-server which manages multi-user access to mercurial repository through ssh. Redmine installation: redmine:redmine /var/lib/redmine/ Mercurial-server installation: hg:hg /home/hg/ I have put redmine into group hg. The issue When you add repository lets say /home/hg/vim/ to redmine, it does not recognise it. Not until you ofcourse make repository read/writeable for hg group (chmod 760). Now comes punchline; $HOME directory must be executable in order for Redmine to read repository info. In my case, I had to do "chmod 710 /home/hg/" in order to redmine to work.
