    Previously I posted a short article about the WordPress package for Debian and how that SID was getting the updated WordPress 4.0.1 which had some security fixes. The question a lot of people were asking was: What about stable (or Wheezy).  After way too much time due to other pressing issues, I have just uploaded…

    The Debian package of WordPress version 3.9.1 was uploaded to the ftp master recently.  While the update was pretty simple, the upload took a lot more doing. I’m not sure why the Debian ftp-master server didn’t like me, but it was so slow. Strangely, even dcut uploads were slow and they are only a few…

    Well if you can read this then you know it’s working.  After way too many weeks, Debian will have WordPress version 3.8.  Thanks to Raphaël for his kind assistance and answering my questions about how it was built.  The upload is still gurgling along and will make it there in its own time. He said…

  • Debian's procps 3.3.9

    While the upstream procps which was released last week has a new pidof, the Debian package will continue to not have that binary and the Debian sysvint-utils package will continue to have that file. That stops any messy procps splits and putting one part into Essential etc. This may mean that one distributions pidof doesn’t…

  • pidof moving to procps

    pidof is a program that finds the PID of a named program. In some ways it is like a cut-down pgrep found in the procps package.  pidof currently sits in sysvinit-tools. There are plans to move all utilities that use the proc filesystem under one package which will make the maintenance of them simpler, which…

    psmisc version 22.16 was released today.  It is a bugfix release that bascially fixes a problem around strings in C.  Process name lengths are only supposed to be 16 characters long, so a 17 bye buffer is ok; until you have processes with brackets which means the string is 18 characters. The next wrinkle is…

    Following up from the upstream release of a new procps, the Debian packages have also been updated. This upload has a significant change in that, I hope, procps is now multi-arch compliant. To make this happen, the libprocps library is now in it’s own package, separate from the binaries. It also means that if you…

    Procps-ng, the Debian, Fedora and OpenSuSE fork of procps had another release today.  This is a bugfix release that fixes some important bugs that have cropped up in 3.3.0 pgrep crashes, pgrep -u not finding processes and a problem with top forest view have all been fixed. An important addition to this release is that…
