Releng, Easter, Forums, Kerberos

So let’s start off with this: Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.

Congrats to Chris, Benni, Tim, and everyone on the releng team for putting out the 2005.0 release. The delay was worth it for sure. Not that I’m Ryan Seacrest or anything, but this was the best liveCD ever.

Finally, after being here since 2001, someone criticises me for something. Too bad it was for just one line of posting rather than an actual, you know, mistake, but at least the smugness of some of the posts (and links) is pretty entertaining.

Now, on to business: as you know, Vapier put in the com_err stuff and put in a masked e2fsprogs to use that stuff. Finally the time has arrived to fix0r up the kerberi to take advantage of this stuff so they can, once and for all, stop stomping all over the place. I’ll be working on that during this week, so if you’re in the mood to test and possibly break stuff, stay tuned. In the meantime, by the way, prelim tests indicate that that new-fangled e2fsprogs works just fine.

Donnie, “rich” is the least of my spiffs with The Microsoft Way (TM) (C)Eternity, The Microsoft Corporation. Most of all, in my eyes, it’s their abject refusal to co-operate with anyone NotMicrosoft.
