SyslogAppliance 0.0.6 out

Finally, I made a new version of the syslog appliance. It is not the really big release. Friday, I intended to do just a refresh, but then I ended up integrating a capability to discard messages older than 60 days (obviously an optional feature). Still, it looked like a quick action, but phpLogcon gave me a somewhat hard time. Finally, I even discovered a bug and could fix it.

Probably the next milestone for the appliance is SMP support. I’ve done some preliminary work, but on the other hand there is so much more to do. Let’s see…

SyslogAppliance Keyboard

This morning, Google alerts brought up a nice blog post on how to reconfigure SyslogAppliance‘s keyboard settings.

I think some users already asked about keyboard reconfiguration. However, the blog post suggest that it is much more painful to do than I thought (I agree with the author that “dpkg-reconfigure console-setup” should have done the job). I’ll see that I finally include this functionality in the automated setup. It should not be too hard. After all, I have a “run once” script already in place.
