PHP 5.3 has been living in lenny-experimental for a while, but yesterday, PHP 5.3.1-3 got uploaded to Debian Unstable. Time for a new backport to Lenny. As of now, PHP 5.3.1-3, is available on lenny-custom, and php5-suhosin 0.9.29-1 (also backported from unstable) is available on lenny-backports.  All packages are available for i386 and amd64, as [...]

Sysinventory is a little piece of software of my own hand, that reports system inventory information. This includes hardware specs, like type and speed of CPU, amount of memory, etc. and also software data, like kernel version, installed version of certain software packages, etc. It is written as a collection of Zsh shell snippets (called [...]

Today, the following packages were added/updated: phpmyadmin: updated to version 3.2.3-4 from unstable libjs-mootools: version 1.2.4-1 from unstable added, as this is a new dependency for phpmyadmin libclamunrar6: updated to version 0.95.3-1 from unstable Architectures as usual: i386 and amd64 (not to mention ‘all‘ for some packages).

The latest versions of Apache (2.2.12 and newer) support Server Name Indication (SNI), a feature of SSL and TLS, that allows you to do name-based virtual hosting over SSL, for multiple sites on a single IP address. The name of the virtual domain is sent as part of the TLS negotiation, allowing the server to [...]

Just added: backports of libtorrent, libtorrent-dev (0.12.5-2) and rtorrent (0.8.5-2). Available for amd64 and i386, in lenny-backports. Note: if you upgrade rtorrent from 0.7.x, and you use a session directory, you have to fix your session files for rtorrent 0.8.5 to be able to use them. Something changed in the way rtorrent stores information in [...]

Not available in Debian as of yet, but deserving an audience in the Debian world nonetheless, is SOGo, a fork of the OpenGroupware.org application. To quote the SOGo website: SOGo is groupware server with a focus on scalability and open standards. SOGo provides a rich AJAX-based Web interface and supports multiple native clients through the [...]

In preparation for the build of SOGo packages, to be hosted here,  I backported memcached 1.4.1-1 and libmemcached 0.34-1 from Unstable. Both are available in lenny-backports, for i386 as well as amd64. A word of caution: libmemcached was built with this particular version of memcached, because it has a build-dependency on a version >= 1.4.1. [...]

Since July 20th, a backport of Dovecot 1.2 has been living on debian.dev-zero.nl. In September, Dovecot 1.2 migrated to testing, and on October 1st, it appeared on Backports.org (Bpo). As my backport is already outdated, and I don’t see a point in backporting the same packages as the Bpo people, Dovecot is hereby removed. Please [...]
