Enable diskcache in Pywikipediabot
by Bryan Tong Minh 31 May '08

31 May '08

Please note that the Pywikipediabot developers have recently done some work to reduce the memory usage. More caching is used as well as the possibility to diskcache large dictionaries on disk instead of memory. I suggest that you enable this cache using "use_diskcache = True" in your user-config.py file. Diskcache uses the cache directory in the pywikipedia folder. As the home directories are on NFS it may be faster to make a symlink from within your pywikipedia directory to /tmp: rm -r cache mkdir /tmp/your-username-cache ln -s /tmp/your-username-cache cache Please do not forget to update to the latest SVN version, especially if you are using interwiki.py Bryan

Update Ghostscript
by DaB. 26 May '08

26 May '08

Hello all, there was a few big changes in ghostscript, see the following lines. Sincerly, DaB. ghostscript (8.61.dfsg.1~svn8187-1) unstable; urgency=low As the ESP Ghostscript development is discontinued now, the extra functionality of ESP Ghostscript is merged into upstream GPL Ghostscript from version 8.60 on. This is the first Debian/Ubuntu package of this merged Ghostscript. It contains the following added functionality from ESP Ghostscript: - Enhanced PCL XL driver. - Shared library and driver (X11) support for Linux/UNIX. - The CUPS "driver" that generates a series of raster images for CUPS printer drivers. - Nearly all known free printer drivers which have to be compiled into Ghostscript - drivers listed with "Execution style: Ghostscript" on openprinting.org. Not included are some obsolete drivers such as hpdj which is replaced by the included pcl3 driver. - All known Uniprint configuration files (*.upp) as listed on openprinting.org. - Patches to add the NOMEDIAATTRS option to Ghostscript, which allows CUPS drivers to use media options separate from Ghostscript. - KRGB support for IJS drivers. - OpenPrinting Vector interface - Support files for CUPS. - Enhanced build system (easy driver selection, font search path setting, ...). This package has everything activated. Due to Ghostscript's head development being under GPL now, and all important functionality being developed at ghostscript.com, forks are not needed any more. This makes gs-esp, gs-afpl, and gs-common obsolete. gs-gpl is also renamed to ghostscript now, so that it can be found in repositories more easily. This new ghostscript package automatically removes all gs-* packages. -- wp-blog.de
