Hi,
I was hiding in the dark for a few months, shit happens. Last week I've made some updates in frugalware-current, most notably the curl bump. But it's not what I'd like to talk about.
The point is our init system. Long time ago in a not too far galaxy Alex started to work on upstart, (Btw, have you seen Alex these days?) which is the only event based system I'm aware of. Oh, I'd like to use an event based one as that gives the opportunity to do real fancy shit. Actually a few (much talented) people think so.
The exherbo guys -- at least Bryan -- want to write their own init system so called Genesis. At least the plans are very promising. A few more ideas here.
So at this point there is upstart which works for ubuntu at least (and that means a _lot_ of people) and genesis which haven't started at all yet. Exherbo developers doing hard work, but whey have quite a big todo list. As for now I have no idea which direction would be better for us. Do we want this for 1.0?
Here's the new opera 9.50 snapshot. This time i've used build 1904 You can find the fpms here: http://frugalware.org/~voroskoi/fpm/current/
I'll create fpms for x86_64 later.

Here you can find some frugalware packages of opera 9.50 alpha. I've used this snapshot.
No shared build this time, i was lazy.
As i've mentioned in previous post i got a laptop now. Telling the truth i just use it, not mine. It's a hp omnibook xe4100.
I've used my pc in 1600x1200 but it's impossible on the laptop. So i wanted something fast and fullscreen as much as possible. And i also like ratpoison devels because of their merchandise which is very funny imo. So it was enough to try it out and i liked it. Very l33t 
My terminal emulator was konsole before, but i wanted to drop that too. Using konsole in ratpoison is not leet enough. Sad but true.
My first try was rxvt-unicode because of the tab support, but was not the best choice. It does not have highlightTabOnBell feature which is musthave. But LGee suggested my to try mrxvt and that is exactly what i want. Awesome.
Now i use ratpoison, mrxvt, weechat and mutt. Time to get a life 
As you probably know we have switched from darcs to git in most repos. VMiklos did a very good job within a month.
But my post is about mpd and icecast combo. I have a pc and a laptop at home and i do not want to copy my music files to the laptop. So i've set up a stream on the pc. I've compiled mpd with shout support. It will be in next mpd release. We did not add it yet as shout does not work with mpd 0.13.0.
The setting up is very simple. Just set up the passwords in /etc/icecast/icecast.xml, then you'll find a good example in mpd.conf. Now you have to (re)start mpd and icecast with the service command.
Now start some mpd client and start the music. I've used ncmpc. It's a good idea to set MPD_HOST variable, maybe MPD_PORT too.
Play the stream with mplayer for example: mplayer http://hostname.domain:8000/mpd.ogg
Do not forget to change mpd.ogg to the name you set up in mpd.conf.
You should know that the stream won't be available if you do not play anything.
mutt-ng: This night i could not sleep, so i started to create a patchset for mutt-devel. I took over the maintainership of mutt-ng from janny and the old patches did not apply to mutt 1.5.16. That's why i started this all.
So i cloned the mutt repo and created a patchset repo using the Mq extension for hg. Awesome tool, really. You can reach the result here. That is a hg repository actually, but you can apply the patches using quilt as well. There is not too much patch there yet, let me know if you miss something important.
RCS: After my previous post i had some discussion with vmiklos. The winner will be git as i can see because of the speed. We'll see. But vmiklos already started to work on dg to make git more darcs-like 
Well, we haven't discussed this with other developers, so it's just an idea ATM.
