Contributions to Mageia – December 2014

Mageia.Org

2014 is going to reach its end and another month of contributions to the Mageia project has passed.

 

NEW PACKAGES – CAULDRON

  • noip

A new package has been added to the cauldron (thus Mageia 5): noip contains the well known open source duc for linux. I decided to package it for two reason mainly:

  • to provide a uniform way of installing and configuring noip on mageia
  • to better integrate it inside mageia by providing a systemd unit (noip2.service): this way you’ll be able to easily install and setup a noip client

Installing and Configuring noip on mageia now consists of a three-steps procedure:

  1. urpmi noip
  2. noip -C -c /etc/noip2.conf
  3. systemctl enable noip2.service

UIABSTRACTION4MCC – ADMINPANEL

bash completions for mana have been provided and the package for adminpanel has been updated accordingly.

Angelo fixed other issues on rpmdragora.

MAGEIAONLINE

MageiaOnline now provides new forum sections for Mageia 5 and Mageia 4 backports are slightly on their way 🙂 Still work in progress, stay tuned
