paludis resume files

As many of you know paludis has a –resume-command-template option to save the resume command to a file. In addition to that there’s the pretend-resume.hook which displays the resume command or the file saved at the end of –pretend –install output.
The only missing thing is a way to quickly execute this command prepending with sudo. I wrote a tiny zsh function, which i called plast, to do the job. To use it, save the file somewhere in your $fpath and put

export PALUDIS_RESUME_DIR=/path/to/the/directory/where/you/save/your/paludis/resume/command/files
autoload -U plast

in your .zshrc.
You can use it like:

paludis -ip bla bla bla
plast # executes the command in the newest resume file prepending with sudo

paludis hooks for the lazy

I’ve just created a repository to publish my paludis hooks. Right now there are two simple hooks in the repository. The first one is to generate locales after glibc updates. You can think this as a locale-gen equivalent for Exherbo. The second one updates /etc/localtime when timezone-data is updated.

okulda müzik yaptınız da gelmedik mi?

Geldik, geldik ya,  kıymetlimiz dinar bandosu gelir de biz gelmez miyiz
İtü’den alıp marsa götürdüler bizi, rakıyı sek içmenin önemini hatırlattılar.
Kısacası çektiler bizi saykodelik bir aleme üflediler bizi güneşe…

sydbox-0.1_alpha

sydbox-0.1_alpha is released.
This is the initial release of sydbox.

What is sydbox?

Sydbox is a ptrace based sandbox implementation which is based in part upon catbox and strace. Being ptrace based, it doesn’t suffer from the well known security issues that LD_PRELOAD based sandbox implementations suffer from. It has basic support to disallow network connections.

OS/Arch Support

At the moment only supported operating system is Linux and only supported architectures are x86 and x86_64 but adding support for new architectures should be trivial. If you’re interested in porting please send a mail to alip or leave a comment to this post.

audio tagging meets lua

I’ve just added Lua scripting support to envtag. This makes it possible to run Lua scripts on audio tags, enabling you to play with them through a simple Lua interface. Audio properties like bitrate, samplerate can also be retrieved through the same interface. By interface i mean two Lua tables named tag and prop, which have get() and set() functions There are some examples under examples/lua directory of the source tree if you’re interested.
This was a quick attempt to add Lua support and i don’t think it’s perfect yet but it works for me. If you want me to change it in a way that’s more useful, please comment and/or email me explaining how
