My first Perl package is on CPAN!
After one year of development, today I uploaded my first package to CPAN: version 4.0 of Bryar.pm, a modular and extensible blog engine powered (by default) by Template Toolkit and originally written by Simon Cozens. I am officially a Perl developer!
This is the software which I use for my own blog.
Among the many changes in this release: caching, support for FastCGI, improved support for HTTP validators and a sitemaps generator.
Debian packages for the Tivoli Storage Manager client
My employer uses the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for backups and since we use Debian everywhere possible we needed packages of its client program, which is only distributed as RPMs. The initial conversion made with alien was unsatisfactory for many reasons, and the ugly original packaging did not help either.
For this reason I spent a few hours to create an high quality Debian package for the Tivoli Storage Manager client. The client binaries cannot be redistributed, so when it is built from source it unpacks the RPMs and copies from there the files it needs to build the binary package.
