How important to read the ChangeLog

April 9th, 2007

I just perform some upgrade for one of my box which running slamd64. As usual, I’m using swaret to perform the update (which I following the current update). Since this box is running slamd64, I do the manual update for this box. After the update success I notice some issue that I face.

# rm
rm: /lib64/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4′ not found (required by rm)
# mv
mv: /lib64/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4′ not found (required by mv)

I search at google but I not manage to find the solution. I browse the ChangeLog, I notice some new changes in the current tree. I also browse some of the packages and finally what I do was to revert back the coreutils package to old version.

After I revert back the changes, here the result:
# touch 1.txt
# rm 1.txt

Tada… Problem solve… :)

Help help… May day mayday…

My Email to TMNet!

December 8th, 2006

Dear En A….,

Have you really go throught most of RBL before you reply to the email? Did you notice that by bind the entire block of TMNet IP to tm.net.my giving many of TMNet customer problem because of their email get rejected by other’s mail server that use spam blacklist(RBL) and they need to use yahoo/hotmail/gmail to do their business? How your team can help many of your customer to ask other’s mail server admin to remove tm.net.my entry in their spam blacklist?

Take a look at:
http://willmacc.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/a-big-list-of-spamming-domains/

# MY domains

tm.net.my

This mean the entire domain have been block. My question is did you understand what the exact problem here? It’s better for you to take a look at:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2317.txt (Classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation RFC)

and/or

http://www.ripe.net/rs/reverse/delcheck/delcheck_descr.html (additional information)

Aha… Any comment?

I think it’s time for the entire OpenSource community in Malaysia to send email to dnsteam (at) tm.net.my and complain to them. With the entire community put a blame on them, sooner or later they will do some thing. Or is that OpenSource community in Malaysia is just an Open $$$ource community?

Just my 2 cents opinion.

p/s: I’m still waiting for their reply. Else I think I need to forward this issue to top management or anyone have contact with InTech guy at The Star? Feel free to give me the contact to my email at evoivgsr (at) gmail (dot) com.

Looking for help!

Due with some recent issue that we face, I really wonder what will happen with Open Source mirror status in Malaysia. Seem that one by one mirror in Malaysia down. It can’t even maintain for such a long time. I’m not going to see leakage face the same situation too.

AsiaOSC mirror have been down such a long time. Correct me if I’m wrong. Seem it have been down after Imran Will Smith leave jaring a few year’s ago.
Leafbug mirror also have been down.

Due to this issue also we decided to merge MyBSD mirror to Leakage.

May be mirror is not profitable at all that make people think twice but with Malaysia bottle neck issue, it help for Open Source user in Malaysia to do update for their workstation or their server. I think it better for us (Open Source user) to do update from local server coz it give better connection for them to do update’s.

I’m also quite busy right now and I not follow any Malaysian mailing list for such a long time. Due to this for anyone who have any contact to anyone that can provide us bandwidth, feel free to provide me their contact. If have some organization willing to provide the space also, we can mirror more from what we are provide now.

For this… feel free to contact me at:
evoivgsr (at) gmail (dot) com (primary)

or

evoivgsr (at) leakage (dot) org

Any help really appreciates. Thank you in advance!
