For this reason I tried to create an ebuild for <a href=\"http:\/\/labs.adobe.com\/wiki\/index.php\/Flex_Module_for_Apache_and_IIS\">mod_flex<\/a> &#8211; an apache module which compiles adobe flex code (.mxml) on the fly&#8230; which is great, as you get a .swf back and thus it is much easier to test things during development. Adobe originally provided an installer for the apache module &#8211; a horrible idea, as the installer required java and a X terminal and was generally broken (for me). Upon (not only) my complaint, Adobe now distributes a plain old zip file and thus a mod_flex ebuild is a reality. Installer programs are so 1990ies..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reductivelabs.com\/projects\/enhost\/\">enhost<\/a> &#8211; a program which adds system facts (collected using <a href=\"http:\/\/reductivelabs.com\/projects\/facter\/\">facter<\/a> from the same author) into a ldap database &#8211; is not in the tree (yet) but I&#8217;ve added it to my overlay. Great concept &#8211; although enhost could need some love. I am currently investigating server inventory systems for which enhost (or a similar program) could be pretty helpful. This morning I found <a href=\"http:\/\/opensource.vidavee.com\/nVentory\">nVentory<\/a> which looks promising.<\/p>\n<p>Both facter, enhost and nVentory are written in Ruby. nVentory is web-based and thus uses Rails. In an effort to try to grasp this language I have created some scripts which check the metadata of the portage tree. In turn this resulted in a spree of herd fixing&#8230; Thus far I enjoy Ruby and I would not mind doing more with it.<\/p>\n<p>With exams out of the door &#8211; I plan on being more present in the community (IRC &#8211; uhu)&#8230; lets see how that works out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day I updated the red5 ebuild to the most recent version (0.6.1).
