Packaging Update: pydf now in Fedora

July 22, 2011 – 10:52 am

Recently, my friend beandog introduced me to pydf. After playing with it for a couple of days, I decided I liked it enough that I packaged and included into Fedora. (If you are interested in other packages I maintain, you can check them out here.)

What is pydf?

$ yum info pydf

Name             : pydf
Arch               : noarch
Version          : 9
Release         : 3.fc15
Size                : 14 k
Repo              : updates
Summary       : Fully colorized df clone written in python
URL                : http://kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk/~garabik/software/pydf/
License          : Public Domain
Description   : pydf displays the amount of used and available space on your file systems,
: just like df, but in colors. The output format is completely customizable.

I was also able to send in a patch for the python 2.4 version to the upstream author. He was very happy to receive and apply the fix. The patch is also available in the source rpm.

A nice looking screenshot of the output from pydf is below:

Meeting: SLLUG Daytime SIG – Cobbler, the powerful, installation, dhcp, dns and repo server!

July 3, 2009 – 8:24 pm

HI all,

This month’s SLLUG Daytime SIG meeting is this coming Wednesday, July 8, from 11:30am-1pm at BetaLoft.  I apologize for being slow getting this out, we’ve been working through a big datacenter move this past week at work.  Now that is over, it’s time for SLLUG Daytime at BetaLoft, (357 W 200 S Suite 201 Salt Lake City, UT, 84101).  Here’s a map if you need directions.

I’d like to let you all know that I (Herlo) will be presenting this month, and the topic is: Cobbler, the powerful, installation, dhcp, dns and repo server!

If you have ever wanted to setup a system with pxe, dhcp, customized repositories and more, then cobbler is for you.  Feel free to read up on the cobbler website before the meeting.

I should mention that cobbler supports several distributions of Linux, and will soon support Windows remote installation (using Linux RIS).  Albeit, I’ll focus on setup of cobbler, a simple installation server with just one distro, using kvm and koan (kickstart over a network) with some basic networking and showing the gui tools as well.

Bring your lunch and your brains and learn all about setting up your very own install server in under an hour.

See you all on Wednesday!

Cheers,

Herlo
