davidz: Ah, I'll have to give that a try sometime tomorrow when I have a chance. I had tried installed udev 0.13, but that seemed to make the situation worse, not better. Not that I'm complaining, this is all pre 1.0 software. ;-)

Arch

All comfortably settled in with using Arch for AweMUD and friends. The setup I have is a little convoluted tho, and I'm thinking it would be nice to have server-side hooks for Arch. As is, I currently have 3 cron jobs to handle various tasks.

The first, and easiest, was to get commits to my server mirrored to the SourceForge web space. The second is a port of the CVS scripts I had for generating snapshot tarballs (for users without the Arch tools) and the HTML ChangeLogs and copying them to the website. The final script generates commit logs to send to the awemud-commits mailing list.

That last script, as I couldn't find anything like it on the web, may be useful to others - send me an email if you want a copy.

The only thing I'm missing now is a ViewCVS equivalent. There's the super-alpha ViewArch, but it's configuration is... well, non-standard, and I don't think it'll run on SourceForge's web server anyhow (needs tla installed). I suppose I *could* do another "generate it on my server, copy it to SourceForge" script, but I'm getting sick of those. ;-)
