check_writable 1.0 released

July 26th, 2007 by Matteo

I just released check_writable version 1.0:check_writable is a Nagios plugin that checks if one or more directories are writable by:

  • checking that the supplied directory is indeed a directory
  • checking if the the filesystem permissions are OK
  • creating a temporary file
  • writing random data to the temporary file (and reading it back)

It returns a critical status if one of the tests fails

svnauthcheck 0.10.1 released

July 25th, 2007 by Matteo

I just released svnauthcheck version 0.10.1

svnauthcheck is a tool to check the syntax of Subversion access control files. We developed it to be able to delegate to certain repository users the ability to manage the access control to the repository itself (see Delegating access control to the end users)

Changes (from 0.9.18):

  • fixed a bug which prevented some comments in the svnaccess file to be skipped
  • fixed segmentation fault when --version was specified
  • added an option (--trac) to parse trac permission specifications (in the form “#trac PERMISSION = USERS“) from the svnaccess file and apply them to the specified trac project
  • strnlen is used only if available

Living with iCal

July 16th, 2007 by Matteo

I use my Mac’s iCal as my primary calendar with a lot of events back to 1997 and I try to keep it in sync with several other devices and calendars (PDA, mobile phone, Microsoft Exchange at work, my fiancée Google calendar, …)

As you can imagine given the quantity of events and calendars involved this task is not so easy as it should be.

I am drafting a small list with my setup and comments in the hope that this information can be useful for someone else.

Thanks to Pavel and Jim

July 12th, 2007 by Matteo
Pavel and Jim, the developers of gSync, just sent me a free license to thank me for my debugging (you can take a look at my messages on the gSync support group to have an idea of how much I complained :-) )gSync is a nice Mac OS X tool to sync your iCal calendars with Google Calendar. The latest version (1.0.1) is stable and works without big issues (I’m still not able to sync one of my calendars with is apparently too big for Google)Thanks! gSync screenshot
