My ISP, Proxad/Free, hardened its policy and do not allow any longer the use of the 10 GiB hosting (that they gracefully provide for free to their customer) for things other than “pure” website. I think my RPM repository, which I moved there last year, fall in the “static storage” category, leading them to erased it some days ago.
Fortunately I have backups and I recently get a RPS from OVH. I’ve spent the majority of the week-end restoring and relocating the repository. Good news everyone, everything seems OK now. If you still use my repositories, please check that it responds.
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 ! 
I’ve just rebuild Amarok 1.4.8 for Mandriva 2008.0 with MySQL and PostgreSQL support.
This was also an opportunity for me to rebuild old packages (Interreta Televidilo, Rugg and python-icalendar) for Mandriva 2008.0. For now there is no x86_64 version of the packages (including Amarok). I plan to do it later.
Update: Amarok was recompiled to include latest libgpod version (0.6.0).

Amarok 1.4.6 was released two weeks ago. Even if this version is available in Mandriva 2007.1 official backports, it doesn’t support MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. My RPMs of Amarok 1.4.6 does. They can be found in my Mandriva 2007.1 repository, which now include a sub repository for the 64 bit flavous of Mandriva.

I’ve just recompiled all the RPMs of my Mandriva 2007.1 repository for the x86_64 CPU architecture. All details can be found on my repository-dedicated page.
