[BLUG] CUPS really is good! (was: Re: Has the list gone quiet?)

Thanks for this encouragement. I just finally did it, and it was,
indeed, very easy. Autodetection didn't work, but just a bit of
googling and I knew what URL to use for network printing, and it all
went fine. Hooray!

Thinking back, I think the last time I played with it I was running
some variation of Fedora on the server side. The client couldn't do
anything with it. I'm sure it would have been possible, but I got
very miffed at having to read docs and edit config files in this new
supposedly easy printing system. Well, it's just one more way that
Ubuntu makes everything easier.

Thanks again, just knowing that others thought it was easier made me a
lot less resistent to working on it. (Truth be told, I don't like
printers)

I don't know about a "good" way (as I tried to avoid RH) but one
way that should work would be to create a bash script like so:

cat << FEOF > localinstall.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Set these variables as appropriate.
INSTALLPROG="yum localinstall"
INSTALLDIR="/usr/local/rpms"
INSTALLSUFFIX="rpm"

# Note: This will play well with everything but new-lines embedded in
# filenames.

find "$INSTALLDIR" -type f -iname "*.$INSTALLSUFFIX" -exec $INSTALLPROG '{}' \;

FEOF

[BLUG] Question about yum in RHEL5

Hi,

We have lots of locally generated RPMs that we'd like to
install right after installing RHEL5. We have set it up
as csci-local repository. Before RHEL5 (while they were
still using up2date), we could put the configuration file
as /etc/yum.repos.d/csci-local.repo and then issue

yum -y install \*

to install all of them (the local RPMs). Now RHEL 5 uses
yum and this trick stop working as we intended (as it'll
pull in ALL RPMs, including the ones from RHN). Anyone
knows a good way to do it now? I tried 'yum localinstall'
but it does not appear to take wildcard.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[BLUG] Canceling gaming sessions

I'm not going to be hosting the weekly gaming sessions anymore. At
least for now. Nobody was showing up, and I don't see the point of
putting time into something that nobody else is going to participate in.

Granted, there have been a few people (Thank you Chris and Scott), but
not the consistency I hoped for. I was hoping to have at least 4 people
each week. Appearently survey results don't reflect reality. ;-)

If someone else wants to pick it up, be my guest.
