While packaging an overdue and very young release from the Probe network monitoring project [1], I noticed that Init, the system's session manager [2], was never released officially so far. They have therefore been tagged today, respectively as Probe_0-0-2 [3] and Init_0-0-0 [4].

Unfortunately, the last release of the libSystem [5], on which both of these projects are relying, does not contain the necessary changes to let the Probe program compile. All three of them were updated nonetheless in pkgsrc's WIP repository [6]; of course, this will be fixed when time allows it.

Meanwhile, the quality of DeforaOS' packaging and integration continues to improve, with some bugfixes and new translations being regularly committed. The daily CVS summary [7] even reported a new security feature withing configure, the Makefile generator [8]. As already stated there, writing documentation becomes a necessity...
