Alexander 'formorer' Wirt joined the grml-team. He is helping me at the kernel framework and works on the ppc port of grml. Welcome in the grml-team, Alexander!
Thursday, November 24. 2005grml-ppc: testers needed
Yes, that's not a joke. A ppc-port of grml exists. :-) If everything works as expected a first develrelease of the grml-ppc live-cd will be available on this weekend (~27th of november). Formorer (who works on the ppc-port) needs testers. So if you own a power pc machine, are interested in the grml-ppc flavour and want to help us: please let us know! Either drop us a mail or contact us via #grml. Any help appreciated!

Thursday, November 17. 2005compile farm using grmlAt Graz University of Technology (TUG) several software projects have big compile jobs. Yesterday I've been working on a specialized grml version to create a compile farm within some few minutes. And the result: grml-distcc. grml-distcc includes a 2.6.14-kernel optimized for up to 32 processors. There's a new bootparam named 'distcc' with the options $NETWORK and $INTERFACE which provides access to the distcc-daemon for the defined network listening on the ip address of the given interface. Usage example: 'grml distcc=192.168.0.1,eth0'. Today Hecka and me tested grml-distcc at TUG. As we are lazy guys and don't want to play disc jokey with a lot of grml-CDs ;-) we booted grml-distcc via network. Running 'grml-terminalserver' on the server, configuring bootoptions for distcc within the interface of grml-terminalserver and booting client via PXE was everything we had to do. Afterwards access to the distcc-clients was possible through "export DISTCC_HOSTS=$HOSTS_WHERE_DISTCC_IS_RUNNING". Running 'make -j' was fun of course. :-) The distcc bootparam will be probably part of the upcoming grml release. Monday, November 14. 2005

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) behind grml 0.5 - status report...So, what has happend since release of grml 0.5? Of course some bugfixing (most of the grml_0-5-issues have been fixed). I also added some new features like a wrapper script for a fluxbox setup providing idesk and gkrellm out-of-the-box, some new scripts and I just finished base work on kernel 2.6.14-grml. So a new develrelease will be available soon... Wednesday, November 9. 2005 |
