[Wishlist] debian.polarhome.com

[ochipepe]

Hello,
Thanks for this excellent service.

I have started working with the shell account I received at debian.polarhome.com, and I noticed that some of the tools I'm used to are missing. I would like to suggest their installation, as I believe they are of general interest:

* Cadaver (www.webdav.org/cadaver): a webdav protocol command line client.

* runtime (part of the unix time command): variable that holds the time the system switched to the current process. It is required by vimoutliner (www.vimoutliner.org), a very nice outliner application for vim.

* w3m (w3m.sourceforge.net) a text-based web browser that also functions as a terminal pager usefull to pipe html files into plain text. I know we have already links, but w3m can be very handy.

All of these are just an apt away, so I hope others find them usefull too...

No problem... packets are installed.

Thanks for the quick response!

There are however a few quirks that need to be worked out.

* time and w3m work fine. Fancy to read google in swedish!

* cadaver : the package you installed is lacking ssl support (no access to https sites).

It turns out this is due to some messy licensing issue with OpenSSL (hey, this is Debian, after all ). Jens Kraemer solved the issue by producing a cadaver-ssl package. He explains the whole process, so it should be no sweat to implement ssl support for cadaver.

Thanks for the support,

Alex

Could Freebasic Compiler be added to the list of tools available?

http://freebasic.net/

It is a great relatively new compiler based on Qbasic but with advanced features like pointers and ability to use most common C libraries (such as GTK, Mysql). It is FREE, cross platform, small executables.

Done... you are welcome.
