Since May 19th the servers were brought down by an unhappy DSLAM nearby. Almost two weeks later they're back online, and I could somehow manage to update some stuff anyway:
  • execution of shared code on Sparc is fixed (I just needed to know more about -fPIC...);
  • the assembler outputs correctly formatted ELF objects, and even a few valid x86 instructions.
Feeling better now.

Please welcome fbz, who just got CVS commit access to the DaPortal project. We look forward to great new modules!

DaPortal has been worked on quite a bit recently, and among other changes it now features an almost complete bugtracking system.
I have started to update the status of some of the few bugs already registered, and will incorporate my numerous TODO-list text files to the system eventually.

First I apologize for the lack of information about the removal of the service. I did not have any complaints so maybe I am the only user so far, but it's back anyway:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.defora.org:/Data/CVS co DeforaOS

Again, the mirror update is done at 5:00 CET.

The project clearly needs to be re-focused, but some new stuff was done:
  • as: ELF32 output improvement
  • configure: handles C sources dependencies
  • DaPortal: can host articles and bookmarks
  • PHP Explorer: supports HTTP resuming

The servers are back. That is great. On the software side, not so much new, but I'll make a quick summary with my next updates.

Between two moving house the servers are temporary online. They will go down again near December 19th for an undefined period. To this date I have not been able to find a solution to host the services elsewhere during this time, so it may be total blackdown. I hope this will last less than a month.
While I still can I have taken the time to hack a bit on DaMon/Probe. The network statistics signedness bug seems to have resurfaced, but on another hand the PHP frontend is now almost self-sufficient, as it can now generate the graphs on demand. The next step is to implement the run-time configuration on the data fetching daemon, and share it to the web interface.

A short note to mention configure 0.0.2 has been released, even though it doesn't attempt to detect the run-time system yet.
The Probe/DaMon monitoring system can now fetch network interfaces statistics (Linux only at the moment). The appropriate RRD scripts should be available soon.
New source archives for DeforaOS have been made available, it should be safe to setup a daily automated generation within the few next days.

FInally, thanks to the new configure rewrite I have been able to generate a source archive suitable for download. It can be fetched from the "Download" section. Automated daily snapshots should be available soon.

Shortly after the completed migration from libutils to libSystem, configure has been totally rewritten. It already supports everything it did before, plus:
  • generation of source archives per different project;
  • verbose and read-only modes;
  • the "distclean" rule no longer inefficiently recurses through the "clean" rule;
  • system-dependant alterations will follow;
  • installation and uninstallation rules also.

Probe/DaMon has been improved and has its own DaPortal module now too, even though it is not my intention to move the configuration settings to an SQL database. It is just a more convenient way to display its results right now.

I have also worked a bit on as, unfortunately the design was not really x86-friendly (who is?) so it may still take some time before it does something really useful.
