    eyeOS impressions & PKGBUILD 

    I’ve followed the cloud os craze for a while now. I’ve tried a couple different implementations, and really haven’t come across anything worth while. Well besides that I decided to try out eyeOS again. The last time I tried it out, it was a little difficult to install (multiple steps), the documentation wasn’t the greatist, and it was a dysfunctional OS solution. My recent exploration into eyeOS start with a trip to my local AUR to see if there was a PKGBUILD for eyeOS? There was, yet it hadn’t been updated in a long time, and it was abandoned. Well I jumped right on it and made a new PKGBUILD. I added a little instruction for install in the eyeos.install (called after pkg is installed). I proceeded to go to http://localhost/eyeos I was introduced to three fields: root password, repeat root password, and hostname. I entered the information and was greeted with a nifty login screen :)

    I created a new account, logged in, and started to enjoy the new eyeOS (compared to the crap that I used a while ago)

    I uploaded my PKGBUILD files via the upload utility, and was giddy to be able to select multiple files to upload. I opened it in a text editor and messed around with it. I tried the web browser, rss reader, and a couple other things.

    I’m working on getting eyeSync working on my mac, yet have had no luck as of yet…

    Last Compile? 

    I sure hope so… Here is the latest from my Arch Linux PKGBUILD for the OpenVZ 2.6.24 ovz008.1 kernel build. I found what I hope is the last bug, and am just waiting for it to finish (takes 21 minutes total on my 2.0 Ghz Core Duo).

    I hope to release 2.6.18, 2.6.24 (WIP), 2.6.26 bulgakov.1/chekhov.1, and 2.6.27 aivazovsky.1 in the future. I’ll let you know when it’s finished.

    First Arch Linux Post & some other little tidbits 

    Well, as you probably don’t know (since I have yet to advertise on my *new* blog) I’m an avid Arch Linux User. I just love it to pieces. I use it on my personal servers & clients. I recently have been dumping some time into updating my packages: Link to my AUR Packages

    I recently acquired the rtorrent-svn / libtorrent-svn / xmlrpc-c-svn packages. I deleted the *-wt packages and merged them with the standard -svn packages. Hooray!

    I have also been working on the OpenVZ package (updating the hell out of it). I updated it using the theroy behind this wiki link : Kernel_Compilation_with_ABS I have compiled the darn thing about 10 times as of now, and atm I’m hoping that I’m on the last compile (crossing my fingers that it will work) :)

    I have started using subversion a little more in depth, and have been trying out branches:

    I’m trying my hand at a new wiki solution to keep my notes. The one that I’m using now (Zim Desktop Wiki) works on Mac OS X, yet isn’t native, and runs poorly. For the longest time I was using Arch Linux in a Virtual Container on my Mac Book Pro, yet recently have become fed up with the resource hog also know as VMWare Fusion. :( Back to the wiki solution, my overall goal is to have a git repo, and either use a popular wiki platform and ‘git’ it. Or try my hand at a git-wiki. I found a couple, and am turned off at git-wiki because or it’s unconventional web server, so I’m most definitely going to try WiGit.

    WiGit

    git-wiki

    I’ll make sure to post my results…
