A broken system and exams
My system just broke two days ago and I can’t boot into it. That in itself isn’t such a bad thing since I can just recover the files and reinstall/repair the system, but the bad thing comes when you have exams coming up and a LOT of other things to worry about. Such things as “Who will I go to prom with?” The hardest part of graduation is finding a prom partner and since I’m one of the least skilled people in the area of dealing with girls, I’m in a disadvantaged position. I won’t make this post too long since I have to leave the house for a game of tennis right now (the weather is beautiful and I don’t want to miss it), but you shouldn’t expect many things from my side for two weeks or more. Although I will still (try to) update raptor and konversation and perhaps I will package Bespin (cloudcity) too. Maybe a couple of small handy scripts too, since I’m learning Perl right now (and I’m finding it pretty powerful). For now, bye, but I will be back when I get my system up and running again 
new script, new packages
So, the school term is finishing and the teachers are dumping everything on us poor students. As a result, I have been really busy lately. But, today I found some time to update konversation and raptor packages, and also to update the updatepkg script. It has a lot of new things now! You can specify only the name of a specfile (e.g. konversation) instead of the full path, and you can tell it where the final packages go (e.g. ~/rpmbuild/RPMS or ~/builtpkgs) and it will automatically create the appropriate directory hierarchy and put the pkgs in them. Other than that, it can play sounds when it finished it’s job (if you add a –sound option to it with the full path of a sound file .ogg, .wav or anything that ‘play’ can play). It also logs the things it does in detail, take it from svn/git updates, to mock logs.
Enough with intro, let’s get to work. You can download the script from http://amoradi.fedorapeople.org/scripts and the updated konvi and raptor packages from http://amoradi.fedorapeople.org/rpms.
Have fun and wish me luck on tests and exams and projects and all that!
