 Done. Thanks!

 Another thing I noticed is that the pages

 Can these things be corrected? Where can one find the sources of the pages

Good to know. I think no one asked for these packages.

Hi,

A friend asked me to post this job opportunity here on his behalf (I've
translated the important points):

Looking for a Linux sysadmin (3-5 years experience) with knowledge in
security and networks (mainly HTTP, DNS, BGP and router configuration).
Technically we're talking about Linux systems which run Debian and Centos.

The position is part of a small team which might need to respond on
nights/weekends for critical problems.

Being independent and ראש גדול is a must.

Work place is in Petah Tikva, but it's also possible to work from home part
of the time.

Freelances are also welcomed...

Please contact me if you're interested and I'll do the connection.

Re: mysql vs mysqli vs pdo (php) Q

Hi Erez,

From PHP 5.4 the default for all the mysql extensions family is mysqlnd
(PHP native mysql driver), and it seems that for the next PHP release (5.5)
ext/mysql will be deprecated https://wiki.php.net/rfc/mysql_deprecation

So PDO is probably the right answer.

Hi all,

if you see any chance to recruit some more participants -
we still need people speaking Hebrew, Polish and Italian.

Currently we have the following number of participants
per language (not need to have finished the study
though):

French   81
Polish   12
Italian  16
German   79
Hebrew   1
English  423

We need about 30 people for valid results. So if we want
to compare LO users with non LO users, we would need 30
of each. Same is true for comparision between languages.

So if you can help in any way, do not hesitate to promote
the link to the survey:

http://userweave.net/survey/3e08ced54a0c4ae8855a8fbb2bd89441

The survey will be online for at least two more days.

Looking for SELinux help/consultant

[Lior Kaplan]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a existing apache/php application to work with SELinux.

For most problems I figured out what to change or do so the application
would work OK
(e.g. allowing certain ports, clearing execstack and stuff). But I got left
with a few socket
access problems due to context difference which I wasn't able to solve (no
matter which
context the files got).

I'm looking someone who could help me to figure out the missing bits. So
far I wasn't able
to find someone with SELinux experience, and that's why I'm addressing this
list.

Re: Disabling the Suhosin patch by default in Debian Wheezy (Debian Testing)

[Lior Kaplan]

Well, as a new member on the Debian PHP team I could say that maintaining
the patch took a lot of time. Each reported PHP problem was needed to
understand whether it's because of the patch or not.

Also, the upstream for the patch isn't very nice/cooperative so we decided
to skip it. Another issue is having future versions support, as (AFAIK)
there's not PHP 5.4 version of the patch, which is a problem as we we work
towards uploading it as soon as it becomes an official version.

Re: Joomla in Israel

Hi Tzafrir,

AFAIK, the Joomla community in Israel had a split (represented by the move
from joomla.co.il to joomla.org.il).

From the contact I have in this community the relevant site is the org.il

Looking at the wiki page, the user Oc666 is one of the joomla.org.il people,
and I think his edits can (and should) be trusted. Looking at his other
contributions to wikipedia shows that he is consistent with contributing.

 I'm not really familiar with any of those two, so I don't feel confident

Kiwix project is looking for help

Hi,

I'm publishing this mail on behalf of the wikimedia foundation which tries
to find people who are interested in joining the Kiwix project:

Kiwix is an open-source, cross-platform, free software offline reader for
Wikipedia and other collections of Web pages and related images.

Kiwix is always looking for new developers. We mainly need people with
skills
in C++ and with the GNU compilation tools. Kiwix is also based on Web
technologies as, for example, javascript or CSS, so a good Internet/Web
understanding is also essential.

The code base is not really complicated. Kiwix uses the best existing
software libraries in different domains as fulltext search, unicode
transformation or template rendering. We think this is pretty easy to
dive in the code.

Currently we are working on the 0.9 release and most of the work is
already done, but there is still a lot to do for the 1.0 release. This
will provide an internal content download manager. The solution
will use the best of P2P technologies, so, if you are interested in
mirroring strategy, Metalink, Bittorent, magnet, etc., contact us
at http://www.kiwix.org 

p.s.
This is not a job offer, we're looking for volunteers.

 I am not a lawyer and haven't paid attention to every little detail in the

 give the source, or offer the source from your own site?

 What I mean is, if someone is selling a device running some unmodified

 to just say that, and you can get it from those projects' own official

 Nadav.


First, you should let the users know about the license itself and the
copyrights the code has. Most manufactures just add a small paper with the
list of software and their license or refer the users to a page in their
website.

When ever you distribute GPL code you are obligated to give the user an
option to get the source. How you do that can vary from sending a CD with
the source to download the files from your or someone else's website. But in
any case your responsible to make sure the user can get the sources if he
wants to.

2011/2/17 Amichai Rotman amic...@iglu.org.il

 Hi all,

 Just wanted to share my experience with this little device...

 As some of you know, I asked which one should I buy: Amazon Kindle or this
 one. I am glad I have bought this one. It's all I need!

 I have 130 books on the internal 1.2GB memory and I still have lots of
 space.

 I bought it so I can carry around all those 1000+ pages technical books.

 Pros:


 Runs Linux!
 Small size.
 Light weight.
 Lots of space (can work with an MicroSD card, up to 32GB).
 Supports Hebrew (none of the other readers out there do).
 Long battery life.

 Cons:

 e-vrit eshop:
 Very uncomfortable to browse the e-vrit website and shop for books (Both
 from the desktop and from the device). While browsing from the device, it
 opens a page on the local FS that asks you to follow a link to enter the
 online shop. This page comes up after connecting to the WiFi network, so
 they could easily take you there directly after the connection was made...
 You cannot search for books by author, and if you find an author you like,
 it is not possible to click the name to access all the books available by
 that author. This is true for both the device and the desktop sites.
 Note: The site accessible from the device is maintained by Newpan and the
 site accessible from the desktop is maintained by Steimazky
 A small number of books are available on the shop. No Sci-Fi books at all.
 No old books (those books I bought as a kid and are out of print are great
 candidates for this format).

 When listening to MP3 files - even with the volume all the way up, it was
 too low to hear in a noisy environment. Granted - I only tested Podcasts,
 not music.

 Slow response while switching between books and display modes (full screen,
 back to the main menu). flipping pages work fast, though.

 Terrible for photos / pictures. Too dark, no colors and slow. The books'
 covers and in-book diagrams and line art look great!

 User Experience:

 As I mentioned, I am very happy with the device. It is very light and under
 the right lighting conditions it is very clear and fun to read from. Using
 it under the sun was even better than under florescent light.
 I downloaded a sample book from the Barns  Noble site (what they call a
 'NookBook) and transfered it to the device directly (an .epub file) - and
 begun reading immediately! no DRM, no conversion - out of the download! I
 called their Customer Support (voice - I needed to hear it) and asked if it
 is because it's a sample. the representative said the sample is technically
 the same as the full book!

 Over the course of the last three years I've read very few books, mostly
 technical books by the computer, but since I've bought this device I have
 read more than 70 pages of a Hebrew thriller, and a few pages of some
 technical books and got the epub version of a 1500 page book I was wondering
 how to carry around with me...

 Conclusion:

 Very good buy for those of you who need the Hebrew support. Not very
 expensive. No dual display. No color display - but perfect for reading
 books!

 I hope I helped someone out there to reach a decision...

 Amichai.

Re: OT: PHP 32 bit numbers security issue

[Lior Kaplan]

It's a hardware bug, which can be avoided by the right compilation flags.
Since it comes from the legacy x87 feature, it doesn't happen on x86_64
which is a newer architecture.

The link you gave bellow is to php.net not Zend.

Well, they still do... But there's a difference between Zend Inc (and it

This is the same difference between Red Hat and Linux.

Re: DHCP internet connection - HOT+BEZEQINT - Not getting IP

 Hi,
 I have a very simple setup.
 My router (Regular PC box) running DHCP client to get IP from the
 provider.
 I don't need dialer for connecting.
 This setup did work for the past half a year.
 Two weeks ago in Friday night, my server stopped receiving IP address.
 Running tcpdump shows a lot of traffice on the network of HOT. I see
 people sending requests and getting dhcp replays.
 I also see connections of bittorent that where active trying to reach my
 computer.
 After one hour fighting with HOT representative, she told me, hey you got
 an IP.
 Well, I did.

 One thing is, I called HOT on Sunday, and when talking to them, I got an IP
 address. So all weekend without Internet.

 Now this Friday morning the same thing happened. No IP is offered to me.
 I can see my computer sending requests, but no replays are sent to me.
 I asked them to check that they get my requests, but they don't want to do
 that.

 Again, all weekend no Internet, and still no IP offered at this time of
 writing



 Does someone knows why this can happen?
 My guess is that they ran out of IP's, or there is a blocking software on
 the DHCP server which blacks my MAC. (Oh, I didn't change my MAC address for
 checking. I'll do it tonight. )
 My download rate is 300kb, so its very low package, and and it doesn't
 seem to be a bandwidth problem.

 What is going there behind the seen with this DHCP server ?
 Can it be my fault?
 I have the white Motorola modem.

 Today at night a representative of HOT should call me when I'm back home
 to . (CLOSE, RESTART... etc... What ?!?! its not windows?? How come you
 don't have start button? well, what can you do.)

 Thanks,

Re: Hebrew spell-checking in OpenOffice

[Lior Kaplan]

2010/11/2 Nadav Har'El n...@math.technion.ac.il

 Recently I noticed that (thanks to Lior Kaplan, it seems) it is now trivial
 to get Hebrew spellchecking (based on Hspell 1.1) in OpenOffice.
 The Hebrew localized version (now available on the official OpenOffice
 site!)
 comes with Hebrew spell-checking pre-bundled, and there's an extension [1]
 for those who use the English version of open-office.


My pleasure (:

It's available only as the 3.3 RC releases, and will be available on the
final release.
http://download.openoffice.org/all_rc.html

The first issue is acronyms (rashei tevot) and abbreviations. In Hebrew,
 these use the geresh and gershaim (or single or double quotes), which is
 part of the word. OpenOffice does not understand that these quotes are part
 of the Hebrew word, and splits the word on them. As a result all acronyms
 are
 marked as spelling mistakes. This is really annoying, especially for
 certain
 types of documents where acronyms are common.


Known issue, and reported at
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99796

It is marked for work during the 3.4 release.


 The second issue is the correction suggestions for spelling errors. All
 the suggestions indeed appear to be valid words, but their order is
 terrible - it appears little or no attention was paid to trying to provide
 the most likely suggestions first. The screenshot on the extension page [1]
 provides an excellent example: When given the mis-spelling עיברי, rather
 than
 provide the most likely suggestion first - עברי, it is given as the 8th
 suggestion, and the first suggestions are highly unlikely.

[..]

 I believe that hunspell's dictionary in fact has a way to give such
 correction
 rules, but I don't know how to correctly write them, or how to make
 OpenOffice
 use them.


The word list in the extension is created with myspell's format. Hunspell
should be similar but I couldn't build that format at the time. The builds
were done as part of the debian hspell package which I maintain.

if it's just unique - use the number of day in the year + the number of the

If it's also needs to be sequential - I don't have any idea.

 I am looking for a Linux app I can install on my Ubuntu Lucid box to

 1. Easy to use
 2. Compatible / suitable for Israeli banks (i.e: ILS / NIS currency
 available)
 3. I mostly intend to digitize existing recipes I got at the different
 stores and perform manipulations on the data (i.e: reports).

 The best would be some kind of a Database functionality to create the
 recipes templates and then fill in the items of each. For Example:

 Shufersal Template will contain the time, date, address of the store and
 so on

 Thanks!

Re: The web site of HaMakor does not work in Firefox

This depends on your resolution and font size.

I'll try to find a way to make it better, but not sure I can.

try to use strace on the ssh server and see what does it do. Maybe

Free software service providers

[Lior Kaplan]

Hello list members,

I'd like to let you know that Hamakor recently started to collect a
list of free software service providers.
See http://wiki.hamakor.org.il/index.php/נותני_שירות

If you're a freelancer or a business that provides free software
related services such as:
- sysadmin
- teaching
- website building (word press, drupal, etc.)
- VOIP
- kernel programming
- or any free software based service...

I welcome you to add yourself to our list. (editing the wiki requires
a short registration, you can also send me the details and I'll add
you to the list).

Thanks,

Lior Kaplan

Re: Free software service providers

[Lior Kaplan]

You're right about the comments/review part, but its out of our scope
(at the time being).

The goal of the list is to expose the fact that there is an business
community around free software that can give services. When talking
with large organizations or governmental entities the question about
who can support us often comes up. The answer can't be ask for
volunteers and should be just choose a service provider.

Having a list of such providers will help not only giving the
correct answer, but also showing the way. Don't forget that some
people still need to see others adopt free software before doing that
themselves.

Kaplan

p.s.
About the case you mentioned, I can just comment that there's an
asterisk company on the list.

On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 1:03 AM, Hetz Ben Hamo het...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi,
 I hope I'm not creating another flaming war here..
 My only problem with such a list is that there's no rating or comment
 section from previous/current customers.
 For example: I'm looking (for a friend of mine) for a good SIP provider who
 can setup asterisk system with reasonable price. That friend has already
 placed an order to some person who did the setup on a 3CX system, but
 forgot to do the setup to dial Bezeq numbers and left him.
 It's nice to have this list, but how can I decide which one to go if I can't
 a single review on that company's work?
 Thanks,
 Hetz

I don't think people will need our help to enter themselves to free
software on Windows, while they do need our help to get around in
Linux.

Giving them recommendations on free software for windows is something
we can do on our website, and don't need actual lectures.

Re: open office questions

[Lior Kaplan]

Hi Sara,

Tk systems try to sent it's fixes upstream. I suggest you'll take the
latest version of oo.org you distribution offers (should be 3.1).

About installing only part of the software - that really depends about
how the software was packaged and whether it can be separated.

2009/8/15 sara fink sara.f...@gmail.com:
 I am looking for open office with hebrew menu for linux. Is there a higher
 version than 2.3.1 in hebrew?
 The latest version in hebrew that I found is here:

 Second question is how can I install only certain packages from open office.
 I want only the writer, spreadsheet and impress.
