Created version 1:040412-4 of my Debian package The HardwareBook ([HwB](http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/hwb.html)), posted a [message about it](http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2010/03/msg00292.html) to the Debian Mentors mailing list, and uploaded it to mentors.debian.net: * URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/h/hwb * Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free * dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/h/hwb/hwb_040412-4.dsc

The LedgerSMB Core Team [announced](http://ledgersmb.org/node/102) the release of version 1.2.21, which includes the following changes: * Corrected a number of templates with HTML issues * AR/AP Aging Report fixed, ignores payment after report date * Minor documentation updates * Fixed bug saving SIC

Getting the following error on clean build directory:

fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
rm -f build-stamp
# Add here commands to clean up after the build process.
/usr/bin/make distclean
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jame/prj/mbsedeb/work/mbsebbs-0.92.0'
Makefile:4: Makefile.global: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.global'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jame/prj/mbsedeb/work/mbsebbs-0.92.0'
make: *** [cleanall] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 2

    Problem is that it is also run at the begining of the build, but at that point the Makefile.global file hasn't been created yet.  since that also likely means that it doesn't need clean, make line 53 in debian/rules only run the distclean if the Makefile.global file is actually present.

• Will not need the flock patch for versions after 0.92.0?   (test v0.95.6 doesn't need it?)

Prelimiary testing of cvs import of MBSE BBS CVS repository to a GIT repository:

• git cvsimport -d /opt/sfmbsecvs/sfcvs -C ~/prj/mbsedeb/tmp/cvs2git mbsebbs

 Remove the two "Clean CVS" commits on the master branch

• ~/prj/mbsedeb/tmp/cvs2git$ git reset --hard HEAD~2

  Change the name of the 'origin' branch from the cvs import to 'cvsimport'

• ~/prj/mbsedeb/tmp/cvs2git$ git branch -m origin cvsimport

One thing I am interested in doing that I have not yet had a chance to actually do is install better firmware on my Linksys WRT54GL router. I do keep on the lookout for information about doing so and spotted the following writeups about it over at : * *

Moved the BBBSDEB site to new host.

Successfully moved the SyncDEB site to a new host.

Created a git repositor at Sourceforge for the FTN::JAM module

• ssh -t jame,ftnpl@shell.sourceforge.net create
• cd /home/scm_git/f/ft/ftnpl
• git --git-dir=ftn-jam.git init --shared=all --bare

• cd ~/prj/ftnpl/scm/sfgit/ftn-jam
• git remote add origin ssh://jame@ftnpl.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/ftnpl/ftn-jam.git
• git config branch.master.remote origin
• git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
• git push origin master

Once the tags are created, push those
 

SQL-Ledger Debian package 2.8.29-1 was created and uploaded: From the changelog: * New upstream release: - fixed missing internal notes on orders - added sales/purchase order import option * Updated Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes).

Note that the JAM.pm is now available at http://bitbucket.org/johanbilling/jampm/.   Created an initial version of FTN::JAM from that.

The LedgerSMB Core Team [announced](http://ledgersmb.org/node/98) the release of version 1.2.20, which includes a number of moderate fixes. None of the fixes are security-critical or critical regarding accounting data.
