manlinker - another small Blosxom plugin
I am a lazy programmer, I am an admin and I don't like to type things
more than once if I can avoid it. hubertf has a world-class blog and he
carefully links all references to manpages like etcupdate(8) or rcorder(8)
and several others. I don't want to write the a href links all the time
so I wrote a small blosxom plugin for it. This plugin parses the article
for patterns like manpage(mansection) and converts it to a
HTML link to the NetBSD online manpages. Right now I don't have any fine
tuning possibilities inside the script, I just wanted something for
NetBSD. If someone sends me some feedback about it, I'll include other
manpage cgi script locations as well. FreeBSD has a very nice interface
to the manpages, including the NetBSD manpages. However, they don't have
NetBSD -current, so I am using the original NetBSD manpage script.
This plugin has no installation dependencies or other things to deal
with, just download it, drop it inside your blosxom plugins directory
and you are ready to go.

I'm updating to -current
Well, I am not a thrillseeker, I am not an adventurer, I am not a wizard
and I am not a code hacker, I am a plain user who uses NetBSD for his
own work, his own ideas, usually for Perl hacking and sometimes for
small parts of C code. So I am a whimp.
However, I like NetBSD and the development hardcode team and I decided
to gave the new 4.99.72 a shot and installed it on an USB stick. My IBM
Thinkpad X40 can boot from an USB stick and I looked into the new
version, checked out the new logging features of the filesystem and the
great acpi abilitities. The update went fine, only a some work after
etcupdate(8) has to be done.
I complained about non working ath(4) support on the current-users
mailing list of NetBSD.org and it seemed to be fixed by someone in the
meanwhile. ACPI support however failed badly and my Thinkpad won't be
able to suspend to RAM. This is not a big issue as it didn't work for me
in NetBSD-4.0 either, however that should be improved before 5.0 will
see the light. I replied to my mail on current-users about ath0. Right
now I see some messages like:
Aug 25 09:13:37 /netbsd: ath0: device timeout (txq 1, txintrperiod 5) Aug 25 09:13:43 /netbsd: ath0: device timeout (txq 1, txintrperiod 4) Aug 25 09:14:03 /netbsd: ath0: device timeout (txq 1, txintrperiod 3)Any ideas? The recompiling of all the pkgsrc things is just running. All things will be recompiled - see my post before :)
