More Fink updates since my last blog post. Mostly version-bumps on Java stuff and updates to require Java 1.4 (and I rearranged ant a little bit).

• ant-base, ant-optional, ant-junit: updated ant to 1.6.5 and rearranged the packages into:

  • ant-base: the basic ant package without the optional plugins

  • ant-junit: the junit ant plugin (unchanged, for upgrade reasons)

  • ant-optional: the optional plugins for ant, builds everything that it can, only starteam, vaj, and weblogic should be iffy, based on what you have installed

• commons-digester: updated to 1.7

• commons-lang: updated to 2.1

• commons-net: updated to 1.4.0

• commons-validator: updated to 1.1.4

• jakarta-taglibs-standard: new package (JSP tag libraries), version 1.1.2

• jce: updated to be an empty package, depending on the 1.4 JDK (which comes with JCE standard)

• jsch: new package (Java SSH2 implementation), version 0.1.23

• jzlib: new package (Java ZLib implementation), version 1.0.7

• netrexx: new package (REXX programming language runtime), version 2.05

• postgresql81: added a PostgreSQL 8.1 package (8.1 beta4). It does not yet contain PostGIS and the other things that go into the "main" PostgreSQL package since it's not yet stable. When 8.1 goes final I'll update it to be the primary.

• struts: updated to version 1.2.7

• stylebook: new package (documentation generator), version 1.0b3

• xalan-j and xalan-j-docs: updated to 2.7.0

• xerces-j and xerces-j-docs: updated to 2.7.1

I released KDE 3.4.3 into the wild today, among other things.

• amarok: updated to 1.3.3

• KDE: updated to 3.4.3. Notable updates include:

  • KDevelop: really really finally (I swear!) fixed C/C++ project loading. And oh, man, is it a hack. But hey, who's counting? :)

  • KOffice: updated to 1.4.2

  • Everything Else: just a version bump, nothing major. For details on what's been changed upstream, see the change log.

• PostgreSQL: updated to the latest bug-fix releases. Also, updated the mirror list for all of the PostgreSQL packages.

  • PostgreSQL 7.3: updated to 7.3.11

  • PostgreSQL 7.4: updated to 7.4.9

  • PostgreSQL 8.0: updated to 8.0.4

  • Java: updated to build 313 JDBC driver

  • PostGIS: updated to PostGIS 1.0.4

• Squid: updated to 2.5.STABLE11 and fixed a daemonic upgrade/removal issue.

This weekend my girlfriend (well... now fiancée!) and I went to the mountains to get away.

I had arranged to have a florist deliver a ton of flowers to the cabin so they'd be there when we arrived. We went inside, Cynthia turned around, and I had the ring ready.

I proposed, and she accepted!

We haven't figured out where or when yet; when will probably depend on where since it seems like nowadays you have to book so much in advance. There's plenty of time to work out the details, the important thing is... I love you Cynthia!
