Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) update of zsh-lovers - in asciidoc formatIt was on my todolist for ages, thanks to Christian 'strcat' Schneider we have the zsh-lovers manpage in asciidoc format now. asciidoc provides much smoother output than my nroff hacks. :-) Adding new tips is much easier now as well, especially since we maintain the manpage within a mercurial repository (hg.grml.org/zsh-lovers). Get the zsh-lovers manpage in manpage format, as HTML or PDF from grml.org/zsh/, a Debian package is available via the grml-testing pool as well of course. Sunday, January 28. 2007roadmap to grml 1.0What's my roadmap to grml 1.0?
Of course resolving the other issues on grml's BTS is on the todo list as well. Features like unionfs-overlays and additional squashfs-files are on the wishlist too of course. My plan is to release grml 1.0 in march 2007. Needs a lot of work of course... Saturday, January 27. 2007

Several grml developers will be there and have a develmeeting. We plan to provide a special release available on the event exclusive. You can meet us at the grml-booth, hope to see you there! Monday, January 22. 2007working on grml-ppcAs written in my personal blog I'm running Debian on my ppc efika board already. Now I've a first, working grml-kernel for ppc: # uname -a Linux grmlppc 2.6.19-grml #2 PREEMPT Sat Jan 20 20:26:15 CET 2007 ppc GNU/Linux Now I can really start working on grml-ppc on my own. The plan is to have grml64 and grml-ppc available with release of grml 1.0. Currently I'm crosscompiling the kernel on x86. It works but it would be nice to have a more powerful compile system, especially another (native) ppc system would be fine.... Monday, January 22. 2007packaged advchkI created a Debian package of advchk, a tool for monitoring the security of installed software. Advisory Check gathers security advisories using RSS / RDF / XML feeds, compares them against a list of known software, and alerts you if you`re vulnerable. As usual the Debian package is available via the grml-testing pool. Monday, January 22. 2007
