Amarok 1.4.9.1 was released 6 weeks ago and was backported to Mandriva 2008.1 some times after. Usually I wait the “official” backport to rebuild the RPM with some extra features and add it to my personnal repository.
But this time it’s different: for Mandriva 2008.1, all the features I added to my builds (especially the full SQLite, MySQL and Postgresql database support) are now included in the “officialy” backported RPM. So starting from Mandriva 2008.1, you don’t need my Amarok backports. All you need is the love from the official backport repository (FTP URL given above). I’m happy as this mean more free time for me and less things to maintain ! 
14 months after the last release, here is a new version of my website backup script. As you can see in the changelog, this version is essentially released to fix some bugs.
Changelog:
- Check version of Python (at least v2.4 is required)
- Rename
--debug option to --verbose
- Add a
--dry-run option for testing
- Remove use of deprecated
pexpect methods
- Add and update some error messages
I’ve just backported QLC 2.6.1 from Fedora Core to Mandriva 2008.1. Q Light Controller is a software designed to pilot lights (both moving and static ones) on stages via the DMX communication protocol. This is my first step to bring together two of my main recent interests: stage lightning and linux.
These RPMs are currently only available for the x86_64 version of Mandriva but includes the Open DMX USB drivers and Lighting Architecture for Linux (LLA) packages. All the sources of these packages came from the repository I found in the “LLA, OpenDMX USB and Q Light Controller Tutorial” tutorial.
I haven’t played with QLC yet: I’ve just started it and as you can see on the screenshot it seems to work. Happy testing !
