[HackSoc] NCLUG Meeting Minutes, 2004-02-17

[Sean Reifschneider]

=====================
Sean Reifschneider:

Added a man page, spec file, and finished packaging the initial version
of "yummir", a program I've been writing to pull updated entries the
"/etc/yum.conf" file.  The big problem with yum under Fedora/Red Hat
has been that the master repositories have been swamped.  "yummir" is a
client/server system to provide solid lists of mirrors to users.  It's in
it's early stages, but can currently do at least some useful stuff.
Also poked around a bit more related to ATM under Linux, now that I can
ping over our DS-3.  Reluctantly, closed down the Hacking Society door
prize.  Fixed up my gateway script to work with my new network setup,
so ethernet users can gateway through me.
