I’ve had a chance to get a few more of the KDE4 packages polished up into what I hope is a releasable state. 🙂
Please give them a shot, let me know if you have any issues, if things don’t work as expected. I know one major thing to look into still is to get document-opening working. Right now the KDE desktop files describe which apps should open different document types, but that is not being translated to OSX’s document-opening APIs.
The following packages were released to unstable today:
digikam-mac and digikam-x11 kdeaccessibility4-mac and kdeaccessibility4-x11 kdeadmin4-mac and kdeadmin4-x11 kdeartwork4-mac and kdeartwork4-x11 kdeedu4-mac and kdeedu4-x11 kdegraphics4-mac and kdegraphics4-x11 kdemultimedia4-mac and kdemultimedia4-x11
Big ones left on the hitlist are amarok2 and koffice2. Amarok2 I’m starting work on again as a snapshot of the 2.1.0 build, since there are some issues with 2.0.x building on OSX. KOffice is actually working pretty well in my experimental tree, but 2.0 release candidate is due out in the next week or so, so I’m going to wait to update to that before doing a release.

Since this blog is more about my own personal development on OSX, Fink, KDE, and OpenNMS, and This Week in OpenNMS is about, well, all of OpenNMS development, I figured it was high time to move it to somewhere more official.
Without further ado, I present to you: This Week in OpenNMS. Same bat-time, different bat-channel.

Yes, that’s right, a post to my blog that isn’t about OpenNMS. 😉
As you can tell, I’ve been pretty busy having fun hacking on OpenNMS lately. While I have been keeping up with my Fink work to some extent, one major thing was still looming: finally getting all the work I did on KDE/Mac released in Fink, now that things have stabilized.
If you’ve been watching the commits for the last few months, you’ve seen the beginnings of that work. Updates to Qt, releases of support things like strigi and soprano… The big hurdle was getting D-Bus in a state where it plays well with KDE/Mac. After some initial hiccoughs, the D-Bus updates have been released to Fink now, and seem to be working well for people.
Today, I released the base packages for KDE 4.2.x into fink: kdelibs4, kdepimlibs4, and kdebase4.
Because of the cross-platform nature of KDE, I’ve released them in 2 variants: mac and x11, so you can run konqueror as an X11 app, or as a mac app. 🙂

Coding on the Porch
I’ve decided to do This Week in OpenNMS on Mondays, instead of Fridays, since it’s more likely that people will be around to read it on Monday, and since then I don’t have to furiously write under a deadline Friday afternoon when I could be sitting out on the porch, sipping drinks and relaxing. Or something.
Anyways, welcome to This (well, Last) Week in OpenNMS!
Project Updates
Stable: Current Release is 1.6.2
1.6.2 is still the current release, and while there are a few fixes pending since it’s release, there are no immediate plans for a 1.6.3 yet.
Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.0
Trunk continues to move at a furious rate. We’re still hoping to get 1.7.1 out soon. Stay tuned for updates on that. In the meantime, feel free to try the nightly snapshots (if it’s not on a production system, of course).
Trunk: Build System Updates
Work has begun on refactoring our Maven build system. We’ve been trying to move a lot of things out of the main build, to speed up building and to componentize things that should be “external” . . . → Read More: This Week in OpenNMS, Monday March 9th, 2009

So I’m a slacker. But I have an excuse, really! I was having so much fun working on JSPs last Friday, that I totally forgot to write TWiO last week. OK, it’s JSPs, so I guess I’m lying about having fun, but I was really almost done with a new feature. 😉
Anyways, since I’ve gotten a little sloppy, I’m going to make it up for you, with a feature on the new Provisiond, which is shaping up quite nicely. And to show my shame, I’ve dubbed this week’s article: This Week (or Two) in OpenNMS.
But, to begin… What’s been going on for the last two weeks?

Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.0
Commits have been speeding by on trunk as Provisiond moves it’s way into a feature-complete state. I’m still hoping we’ll get a 1.7.1 release out soon so people can give it a shot, but, well, we have to stop . . . → Read More: This Week (or Two) in OpenNMS, Friday February 27th

Welcome to This Week in OpenNMS for Friday the 13th. It’s yet again time to take a look at what’s been going on in the world of OpenNMS development.
Project Updates
Stable: Current Release is 1.6.2
1.6.2 is still the current release, and while there are a few fixes pending since it’s release, there are no immediate plans for a 1.6.3 yet.
Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.0
Trunk has been moving fast still, and I hope we’ll get a 1.7.1 release out soon-ish, but we’re still trying to get provisiond up to a demoable state first. In the meantime, feel free to try the nightly snapshots (if it’s not on a production system, of course).
Trunk: Javamail Updates
Dave’s been working on refactoring our javamail support into it’s own module, to make it easier to reuse in different portions of OpenNMS.
Trunk: RANCID Integration
Guglielmo continued work on the RANCID integration; the API has stopped changing much and most of the work has been going on in the UI at this point.
Trunk: Provisiond
Matt has most of the provisiond code working, some simple scanning is possible . . . → Read More: This Week in OpenNMS, Friday February 13th

It’s time for another This Week in OpenNMS. I will be skipping next week’s, as I’ll be too busy sunning myself in the caribbean and hanging out with a bunch of rockin’ bands on Ships and Dip V. Ahhhhh….
Project Updates
Stable: Current Release is 1.6.2
1.6.2 seems to be holding up nicely, although there have been some reports of issues with JMX thresholding that need to be investigated more deeply still. If you’re having issues and can add some details to the bug on the subject, it would be appreciated.
Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.0
Trunk is still moving crazy fast, so hopefully we’ll be getting another 1.7 release out there soon when a few things settle down, so people can help test. In the meantime, feel free to try the nightly snapshots (if it’s not on a production system, of course).
Trunk: Acknowledgement Daemon
Dave continues to make progress on Ackd in between crazy days at the TeleManagement Forum’s Team Action Week (more on that later). Hopefully it will be ready for folks to test it out in the next few weeks.

Sorry I missed last week, I ended up having so much come up I didn’t have time to put it together, so this issue is an action-packed 2-week OpenNMS extravaganza!
Project Updates
Stable: Current Release is 1.6.2
On January 15th, we saw the release of OpenNMS 1.6.2 which included a number of small bugfixes and feature additions.
For the full list of what was changed, see the 1.6.2 bug milestone.
Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.0
The 15th also saw the first unstable release since 1.6 went stable. It is a work-in-progress release from trunk which gives a preview of the features to come in the 1.8 series. As 1.7.x releases come out, the release notes in the New and Noteworthy section of the web page will be updated with an overview of the new features which will be in 1.8.0.
Trunk: Provisioning
Provisiond is moving along, with lots more commits. Matt has been working on the scheduler and other infrastructure, and I’ve been working on the data model for the requisition (what nodes/etc. to import) and foreign source (what to do with the information imported). Things . . . → Read More: This Week in OpenNMS, Friday January 23rd

The holidays are over, the hangovers have been recovered from, and in the meantime, a flurry of activity has been happening in the OpenNMS world. It’s time for another This Week in OpenNMS!
Project Updates
Stable: 1.6.2 Coming
The goal is to release version 1.6.2 next week. There have been a number of bugs fixed (and a few small features added) since 1.6.2.
Trunk: Provisioning
Work continues on the new provisioning code at a frantic pace. We’re not yet at a milestone where people can use it, but lots of pieces are coming together.
Trunk: Acknowledgement Daemon
Dave has begun work on Ackd, the OpenNMS acknowledgement daemon. This will allow API and user-interactive access to acknowledging alarms. The goal is to be able to acknowledge alarms through jabber, email, etc. upon receiving a notification of an issue.
Trunk: Alarm Daemon
Dave also worked on Alarmd, a daemon for managing persistence of alarms to improve event persistence performance and reduce delay in forwarding events to listeners.
This immediately began discussions with a large Telco in Europe about their contributing a 3GPP compliant alarm strategy. Cool.
Trunk: IRC Notification Strategy
DJ committed a notification strategy that can . . . → Read More: This Week in OpenNMS, Friday January 9th

It’s been a pretty busy week here in OpenNMS land.
Project Updates
Stable: RT Ticketing Plugin
Jonathan got his RT ticketing updates finished, along with some OTRS cleanup. These have been merged back into trunk and the 1.6-testing branch, so should be ready pending a review, for the 1.6.2 release.
Stable: More Vendor Traps
Jeff spent some time adding more SNMP collection, graphs, and trap events for a number of agents, including SNMP Informant and AIX.
Trunk: IfIndex Persistence
Antonio committed a small change to the event and alarm persistence code to allow Trapd to extract IfIndex from varbinds if it is available.
Trunk: Provisioning
We continued to focus on the new provisioning daemon and API, with a lot of design work and pair programming going on, especially on Matt’s part. We all spent time this week breaking the work up into smaller chunks so we can get a better idea of what our progress is.
Donald continued to work on the detector code, adding more detectors, tests, and cleanups to the existing code.
I’ve been working on creating the model for the configuration that will drive provisioning, including changing the default . . . → Read More: This Week in OpenNMS, Friday December 19th
