Virtual dedicated server?

Dec 15th

Posted by Julien in [...]

I am thinking of buying a small VDS to benefit from a broadband Internet connection for my websites. This would also allow me to remove services from my home server, not that it suffers from overload, but would allow me to easily run tests on it without breaking anything used by others.

I am quite interested by Web1.fr’s Giga-web1 offer. On their site, it seems to be an ideal deal for me, especially for its price. I looked at the forum, and the technical guys seem to be very flexible and generous. Last but not least, their VDS run Debian and can be delivered without any administrative panel!

Giving up YADRMT development

Dec 15th

Posted by Julien in [...]

I decided to give up YADRMT (Yet Another Debian Repository Management Tool) development. YADRMT was supposed to be a simple tool – written in Python – to create and maintain a Debian repository with pool structure. I am lacking of free time, and more powerful tools already exist, like Bernard R. Link’s reprepro.

As YADRMT was never released, I am sure nobody will care about this. If you want me to provide the code that was already written, just leave a comment.

By the way, note that you can find reprepro Debian packages backported for Sarge in my repository (which is of course updated through reprepro).
