Re: Backup Consensus?

2003-01-26 Thread Grant Bowman
Is there a place where a general consensus has been reached on exactly
what is necesary to backup a Debian system?  I'm sure this has been
asked and answered many times before, so I am looking for URLs to where
this has been discussed in the past.

I apologize in advance, but I'm not a subscriber of this list.  Please
cc me on replies.

Thank you very much,

Maildir use with Mutt

2002-05-24 Thread Grant Bowman
Hi all.

I'm a procmail and mutt user.  I'm converting to maildir format instead
of mbox and noticed most of my messages show 0 size now.  Is there a
procmail recipe to add this information back into it so it's usuable by
mutt?

Second question: when I use Procmail and forget the / on the end of the
mailbox name I get the messages delivered to the folder but not so they
are usable.  What's the best way to get them re-delivered properly?

I know, I should RTFM or STFW, but I'm hoping others on this list have
dealt with these problems too.

Thanks,

Great question.  I brought this up in November on debian-policy and got
nowhere.  There is officially no policy at the moment, but not due to my
lack of effort.

Peace,

looked at ~taggart/lsb/ lately?  It seems to me a link is missing unless
it should be to your page, Joey.

OH, taggart moved the pages into the PACKAGE.  I incorrectly read this
as page and didn't understand what "Debian lsb page" was being
referenced.  Why would you move web pages into a package and remove them
from the web?  It's just an extra step for those surfing for this info.
I already have the package installed.

Sorry,

Re: Calendar/scheduling softwae fro debain?

2002-06-02 Thread Grant Bowman
Very interesting discussion.

I have a list of groupware products on my webpage:

http://www.grantbow.com/groupware.html

I know that phpGroupware has a functional calendar server.  There has
been much discussion about it on the OpenOffice.org mail list.  More
info is available at:

http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/groupware/

I will review this thread and add the links that were mentioned to my
groupware page, looks like some great projects that I wasn't aware of.

Cheers,

Karsten,

You might be interested to know that twiki is now (as of two days ago) a
packaged Debian app in unstable!
