OT: Looking for plotting program to replace gnuplot

2002-12-15 Thread John Ackermann N8UR
Hi --

Sorry that this is slightly off-topic, but I thought someone here might be 
able to help.  I've been using gnuplot to format some fairly simple graphs, 
but its combination of totally obscure documentation and apparent output 
limitations are driving me up the wall.  (Today's example:  I want to plot 
some noisy data with a smoothing curve.  I finally figured out how to put 
both plots on the same screen, but there's apparently no way to tell the 
program to use different colors for the two lines, at least using the png 
output tool.)

Can anyone suggest a program that does what gnuplot does, but with a bit 
more polish?

Thanks,

John Ackermann

OT - Debian mirror from CDs ...

2002-12-15 Thread CaRLoS mOGUeL
Slightly off topic ...

blessings all.

how can i build a local debian mirror from my (woody)
cds sets ? , I'm trying to have mi own mirror for
multiple debian server instalations, I know about
apt-proxy but all the documents explain the use using
a ftp/http mirror as a reference instead of a cd set.

I'm thinking to copy all the debs into a location and
use dpkg-scanpackages to create the Packages file ...
is this the best way ? ... any suggestion ? ... flames
? .

Thanks in advance.

Carlos.

You're on the right track, dpkg-scanpackages isnt what you want to do.
Theres a tool that comes with apt-proxy which is apt-proxy-import. Copy
all your .deb's into your respository and run apt-proxy-import.

man apt-proxy-import

NAME
   apt-proxy-import - A script for importing packages into the
apt-proxy cache.

Re: exim limit number of mail per user.

There's nothing out of the box. However you could probably craft
something. I imagine a small program (it should be a compiled and
not an interpreted program) that gets some parameters ($sender_address
and Message-ID for example) and is called from a router. It registers
the date and the address somewhere (check with the message-id to not
register a single mail twice) and fails if everything is okay and the
user is within his/her limits. If not, it succeeds and calls a transport
that does whatever you want it to do. Call an autoreply-transport for
example... You may also want to set verify = false on this router...

I hope this helps,


Joachim

PS: I assumed you're using exim 4.x already...
