That debian MD5 question
by MJ Ray 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

Hi, can't remember if this was answered ;) I think Bill asked about MD5ing files in a package. If you do dpkg -s <packagename> you get a list of config files with their original MD5s. Do you really want to MD5 the binaries too or is that good enough? Also, when you upgrade a package, it detects if you've changed the configfiles and asks you what action to take.

Hi all, As a matter of interest, and because Alug 3 is fast coming upon us, I wondered who was thinking about coming. I'm happy to collect names and information on what you may consider bringing, and post a summary of the collected information to the list.

Check out Freshmeat.net as they seem to have a few utilities for building packages - I've just noticed 'RPM Builder' and 'pkgbuild' across there as well as 'Alien' Andi >> Anybody have an URL - I'd like to look at this - seems incredibly useful. > > http://kitenet.net/programs/alien/ **************************************************************************************** *Please visit the web site of the Financial Times at http://www.ft.com * * * *This E-Mail is intended for the use of the addressee only and may contain confidential* *information.

Wasn't Sun Microsystems working with the InstallShield people to produce a Java verison of InstallShield? Probably something in the realm of JavaOS I would guess!! Talking about .deb packages, has anyone had any millage with 'alien' which converts between different package formats? I've never had need to use it, but it may prove useful to those worried about availability of .debs etc. Andi p.s.

Changes to email web page, and next Sunday's meeting
by Andrew Savory 31 Aug '99

31 Aug '99

I know this is what you've all been waiting for ;-) I've just added an "unsubscribe" section to the ALUG email page, if you are struggling to keep up with the MASSIVE amounts of messages on the various ALUG lists! http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/email.html As Brett mentioned, it would be useful to get an idea of who is going on Sunday, and if there's anything in particular you want to see. Let me know if you have any download requests etc, too. I will be bringing a few Debian CDs with me (trying to convince y'all to switch to a proper distribution ;-) so let me know in advance if you want a copy (I know I still owe someone a CD from last meeting).

Re: [alug] Caldera CD

Raphael, The Linux Emporium (http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/) sell cheap CD's. I've never bought from them so I don't know what they're like. Anyone? I usually buy things from the PC Bookshop (htttp://www.pcbooks.co.uk/) as they have a branch here in The City and they stock most Linux distributions including Caldera. I'd be interested to know what millage you get with it. When's your new book out?
