Kolab updates

I broke the kolab-webadmin and the kolabd ebuilds last week. Fixed that today and they should both work again.

I addded all recent diffs from the kolab cvs which hopefully allows to create domain maintainers. I did not check this yet.

My postfix checks are running fine now and I updated the comments on the postfix page concerning changes in the configuration as compared to the original kolab.

I also modified the postfix users so that the special kolab users are not used anymore. When using these new templates you need to empty your postfix spool directory:

rm -rf /var/spool/postfix/*

New muse mode version

I updated my muse ebuild to the newest version 3.01.90. I thought it would just take ten minutes but I wanted to use the new configure statement for pyblosxom blogs.

Since I know practically nothing about lisp I missed the little apostrophe (`) in front of the statement.

      `(
	("Blog"
         (,@(muse-blosxom-project-alist-dirs "~/usr/devel/website/home"))
	 ,@(muse-myblosxom-project-alist-entry "~/usr/devel/website/home"
					     "~/usr/devel/website/test/home"
					     "blosxom-xhtml")
      ...

I had a quote (') there which messed things up. Probably just a hint that one should not try to work with languages one has no clue about.

Anyhow the muse-myblosxom-project-alist-entry did not handle my directory hierarchy too well. It entered all blog entries in subdirectories twice. So I modified the corresponding function to allow for subdirectories. Hopefully I did not break anything with that change.

(defun muse-myblosxom-project-alist-entry (entry-dir output-dir style)
  (cons `(:base ,style :path ,(expand-file-name output-dir)
                :include ,(concat "/" (file-name-nondirectory entry-dir)
                                  "/[^/]+$"))
        (mapcar (lambda (dir);
                  `(:base ,style
                          :path ,(expand-file-name dir output-dir)
                          :include ,(concat "/" dir "/[^/]+$")))
                (muse-blosxom-get-categories entry-dir))))

But it looks like it's working.

Enough about my lisp skills...

Pyblosxom rss plugin

I added the rss renderer to my pyblosxom-plugin ebuild. So now there is an additional section that allows to get some feeds from this site.

But rather than having a blog feed I'd like to be able to get an RSS feed from my subversion repository. I found two python scripts that allow to do this (subverssed and svn2rss) but both did not completely allow what I want. So I am going to delay that to a later time and probably write my own script.
