Incremental Backup to a CD-ROM? (was: Re: [SLUG] Incremental Backup Script)

I dug around a while ago but didn't see anything which gives such an option out of the box, and I never had time to sit down and try implementing this myself.

QuantumG wrote: Not at all. My general statement is that assigning copyright to people who want that copyright assignment so they can make a proprietary distribution of the software is bad. Copyright assignment lowers the risk to the company. They can never be in a situation where some foolish error leads to them losing rights over the software they are distributing (eg, the error could lead to the copyright holder terminating their GPL license). Without copyright assignment you'd see less companies willing to open source their code. The lawyers would simply kill it, as they're notoriously risk averse. It's also better for the developer, as the rights re-assignment to the developer gives them a clear license (eg, it is fruitless for the company to argue that the developer's contribution was a derived work and seek to have copyright assigned to the company and the developer's license terminated). Assigning copyright to the FSF is the best thing in the world. I would suggest that everyone do it. This is a troll right? There was that marvellous situation with bison where the author of the code disagreed with FSF's interpretation of the GPL but was basically powerless. There is not a clearly superior strategy for who holds the copyright over GPLed code. It's a vexed question with pluses and minuses to each decision.

On the other hand, if an open source project request that you assign your copyright to some entity and guarentees that they will not dual license your code under a proprietary license you should at least consider it. It would be a lot better if they guarenteed (as the FSF does) that they will only use their ownership of the copyright to forward Free Software.

Re: [SLUG] printing from mail
On Thu, 10 Feb 2005 05:33 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all I've an application (Some cisco fax hardware) that on receipts of a fax sends it to a email address. What I need to do is find some way of printing those automatic to different printers depended on the incoming address. Does any one have a starting point for doing this I've had a google but have yet to come up with anything useful Thanks Maybe I'm not seeing the complete complexity, but I was thinking a procmail recipe that calls a script and prints to a specific printer. That way, procmail is parsing the message recipient/sender (what it does best) and then the script can handle the printing; lp/lpr can print the message etc. Cavaets (for the script): 1. You may need some extra tools to rip out the attached file (assuming the fax message is actually an attached PDF/PS/TIFF etc). 2. You may need to filter the attachment (from #1) through something else to generate the correct input for lp/lpr. 3. You may be able to skip #2 if you configure cups to use the correct filter directly (this is how I print PDF's from the command line - cups does all the hard work in ghostscript on its own). All of the above is screaming Perl or Pythhon to me as both languages have tools/libs for directly processing e-mail messages and attachments. lp -d dest-printer lpr -P dest-printer Both accept input from STDIN or a specified file.

Re: [SLUG] text to web page, adding br ?
Yes it is required. all tags must be closed in order for it to be xhtml compliant. Hence the changes so a br is now br /, it includes a closure of the tag. Browsers in general don't worry about it though, but it does help with readability and all that imo.

I had a similar problem once with a disk (actually half an entire array) on
Solaris. I ended up partitioning the new drive(s) then using cpio to do the
ghost. Not exactly elegant, but it worked.
WAR_STORY
At least Solaris has a nice fmthard which allows you script the whole
mass-partioning of 30-odd drives into a single:
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c${CTLR}t${TARGET}d0s2
which is enclosed in a neat little nested loop to increment $TARGET and $CTLR
as it stepped through the drives :) Slice (partition) #2 in Solaris is the
partition table - very handy :)
/WAR_STORY
Now try THAT with Redmondware :P

How many depends on what your using it for.. if I was constantly doing huge filetransfers over it and had several people doing it, then you wouldn't support many users. Point is, whatever one person does (affects the entire bandwidth to other users) no matter the device. Be it a wireless router, wireless router/adsl modem or wireless access point. WAG54G = wireless router/adsl modem all in one WRT54G = wireless router (with wan ports to add ADSL or cable ethernet modem) WAP54G = wireless access point. Atm I am not using my WRT54G. Its been turned off since I finished tinkering with sveasoft firmwares. Not sure if I will use it or not any further. I may end up giving it to my wifes parents to use with the billion 711ce I will give them when house is finished being built and adsl is connected. As then i can use the wireless side of it when our powerbook is with us.
