Puppet: Files found in modules without specifying ‘modules’ in file path will be deprecated in the next major release
0DEPRECATION NOTICE: Files found in modules without specifying ‘modules’ in file path will be deprecated in the next major release.
If you get this warning in your puppet logs, you should take action (only if you don’t have any Puppet agent with a version <= 0.24) and modify all you references to file resources.
For example, if you have a module named 'ssh', normally, up to puppet 0.25 you would reference a file to it as:
source => ["puppet:///ssh/authorized_keys",]
But now, you need to insert a ‘module’ identifier in between like this:
source => ["puppet:///modules/ssh/authorized_keys",]
Just a small note: It seems that the templates do not need any modification.
Where do I find pngout for Linux?
0I just found a nice comparison chart of different compression programs for PNG images (optimizations). It seems that PNGout is the best of the best :-) On the author’s website, there’s only a windows version. The link to the Linux version gets redirected to a gtagaming website?!
After asking the great oracle Google where I could find a version for Linux, he replied to me I could find it on JonoF’s website.
New chess website for Chess education/promotion
0
BNPParibas in association with the FIDE created a new nicely done website (in french only). The goal of this website is to show the usefulness of chess to parents/teachers or schools. Children will also be happy to consult this website, there are cool games, and even a quiz, where one can win a sort of printable “diploma”. A really nice initiative.

Oh, by the way, please take a minute to vote for your favourite Internet Engine!
Making and deploying a Twisted project as a service under Windows
0What is the goal?
The goal is to implement a program in Python+Twisted (using PB for network access) under Windows XP or 2000+, that can be run before a user logs on, so it has to be a windows service, launched automatically, at boot. Another goal is to show some developement patterns in Twisted. You will find a lot of ‘theoretical’ patterns about how to make singletons/borgs, proxy, and stuff, but I never found patterns about ‘Twisted code’, except for the wonderful ‘finger tutorial’ by the squishy moshez. This tutorial can be split in two parts: The first one is about writing a good skeleton for your Twisted development. The second part is about making a Windows service.
Note that these instructions (the service building part) will not work under Windows 98, 95 or older. (more…)
