 Hi,
 
 I use debian as upstream for a  package that i maintain for Fedora. Is there
 any way i can get notified whenever the upstream maintainer updates a
 particular package? For example
 http://packages.debian.org/sid/lisp/emacs-goodies-el . I currently goto the
 URL manually once/twice in a month and find out whether he has updated
 anything. It is kind of  pain. Is there any better way?

You can subscribe to the package's tracking information by going to
http://packages.debian.org/e/emacs-goodies-el.html and submitting your
e-mail address bottom right form. That way, you receive upload
information, bug reports and other such details via e-mail.

HTH.

[Ilugc] Open source enterprise backup solutions

2011-07-17 Thread devjyoti patra
Hi All,

My friend works as an IT administrator for a medium size Pharma
company that has 3 offices spread across India and lot of its
employees are mobile.
The company wants him to implement an open source/free enterprise
backup, and recovery solution. They also have some proprietary
analytics software that needs to be fed with the data that has been
generated throughout the day, across all their offices. They host this
proprietary softwares on a local data-center that is accessible from
all their offices. People so far used to upload all the data in the
evening, before leaving for home. But now, since they are expanding
and the data within the organization is growing at a rapid rate, they
want to have a local server sitting on their premise, where employees
from all their offices can upload bulk data (50-100 MB/employee/day).
This system should also enable people who are on move to access this
server sitting on their premise. So he is looking for a system where
people can upload the data at the end of the day and the system, in
turn, uploads this data to their data-center without needing any human
intervention. As data transfer over LAN is fast, people need not wait
long to upload their data.

Employees of this company use Linux, Windows, and Mac operating
systems. So if the solution comes with client software for these
mentioned OS's, it would be cherry on the pie. He need some
suggestions on choosing a smart open source enterprise backup solution
which can solve the said problem and also it would be very helpful if
someone can share his experiences with the security issues in such a
system.

Thanks,
DJ

[Ilugc] Wonderful Beginning for Villupuram Linux Users Group.

2011-07-17 Thread Prasanna Venkadesh
Hi all,

Today (17/7/2011) few members from PuduvaiLUG went to attend the Opening and
First Meeting of Villupuram Linux Users Group.
Mr. Praveen Singh (Co-ordinator) of Villupuram Linux Users group was busy in
making arrangements for the meet to start.

The meet started by distribution of Juice, and it was Praveen singh, who
started his speech by explaining the need for a Linux User Group.
And then i took the chance to speak about the difference between the GPL of
Open Source  and EULA of Proprietary Software's.

Then explained the need for a change to Open source from Proprietary
softwares, played an audio clip which Mr.Shrinivasan has shared me long
back.
Then Praveen Singh displayed some videos showing graphical effects of Ubuntu
Desktop, and played a game called OpenArena (
http://www.openarena.ws/smfnews.php)

Then we explained the concept how Open Source works with the Example of
Mozilla projects.
Displayed the Video from Mozilla Website explaining how they are successful
because of Open Source ( http://www.mozilla.org/contribute/ ).

Then also showed the source code of Kernel, downloaded from Kernel.org

Praveen Singh also explained about the need for mailing list.

We strongly recommended that we are on the way to make india better by going
the Open Source way, against corruption (software piracy).

At the end we all gave a feedback in a written form of what can be done in
forth coming meets.

More detail about the meet will be updated in VillupuramLUG's Blog (
http://villupuramlug.wordpress.com ).

Dear Pudhuvai  Villupuram LUG group,

joining other people who wish you of keeping your good work - in
promoting / show casing FOSS for the general publlic.

What is surprising is - If I can say - backward districts !! like
vilupuram is having an own LUG, but other intelligent (!!!) districts
like trichy, tanjore, kumbakonam etc is not having anything on its
own.

I am not trying to start any flame war, but suddenly felt that
something is happening in some districts - which most of us are seeing
properly. Maybe if we could understand something from these
happenings, promotion of FOSS can be made more effective, and done
efficiently with less resources.

(This is what is the way that most of the commercial marketing
organisations does - for any products).

with warm regards

I have been using GNU/fdisk since 1995 (in a plethora of Linux

 If you are using XAMPP, assuming you installed it at /opt, use the

 command

 $ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp status

 Hi All,

 My friend works as an IT administrator for a medium size Pharma
 company that has 3 offices spread across India and lot of its
 employees are mobile.

In your place, I would encourage your friend to join such mailing
lists and forums and ask the questions directly, rather than use you
as a proxy.

IMO, you are asking for several unrelated requirement in one post  (on
behalf of your friend).

For clarity on each requirement, it is best to post the relevant
requirements separately.

 The company wants him to implement an open source/free enterprise
 backup, and recovery solution.

**This is requirement no.1.**

The best practice for storage/backup is online  on fast storage NAS
or SAN, then close inline on slower disk storage or virtual disks
(tape) and finally on tapes (library).   Which part of this spectrum
is your friend interested in?

Take a look at amanda and bacula for library backup.  They are cross
platform but I am not sure about OS X client.

 They also have some proprietary
 analytics software that needs to be fed with the data that has been
 generated throughout the day, across all their offices. They host this
 proprietary softwares on a local data-center that is accessible from
 all their offices. People so far used to upload all the data in the
 evening, before leaving for home. But now, since they are expanding
 and the data within the organization is growing at a rapid rate, they
 want to have a local server sitting on their premise, where employees
 from all their offices can upload bulk data (50-100 MB/employee/day).

**This is requirement no. 2**

A server with FTP service will do.   You also have the option of
more sophistication with a DAM (Digital Asset Management) or DMS
(Document Management System).

 This system should also enable people who are on move to access this
 server sitting on their premise.

A VPN server for remote users.   Once connected they have access to
the services on the LAN just as those in the physical office premises.
 openVPN is the easiest to setup.

 So he is looking for a system where
 people can upload the data at the end of the day and the system, in
 turn, uploads this data to their data-center without needing any human
 intervention. As data transfer over LAN is fast, people need not wait
 long to upload their data.

**This is requirement no. 3**

On the FTP server your friend will need write software (could be a
simple shell script) that consolidates all the data for the
proprietary analytic package.

 Employees of this company use Linux, Windows, and Mac operating
 systems. So if the solution comes with client software for these
 mentioned OS's, it would be cherry on the pie. He need some
 suggestions on choosing a smart open source enterprise backup solution
 which can solve the said problem

Both amanda and bacula are powerful tools with enterprise features.
Powerful tools also need system/network admins  with AoM  [1].

 and also it would be very helpful if
 someone can share his experiences with the security issues in such a
 system.

**This is requirement no. 4**

A well thought out set of iptables rules plus IDS like Snort should be
enough to get you started.

Your friend should set aside the time for RTFMs.In my experience
they are the best source for information on setup as well as usage.
Join the respective mailing lists and forums if s/he gets stuck.
Typically, the developers of the software are also members.

A word of caution - some of them may not be as user friendly as this
list.   Therefore, your friend should do his/her homework and ask
specific questions.

In closing, I would suggest that you invite your friend to join the
mailing list and ask follow up questions directly.

[1] Application of Mind.
