20:12 Changeset [24302] by geofft
thirdparty-libraries: Also add fuse-utils This is pulled in by the GNOME desktop and by pyHesiodFS, but it's easy enough to be robust to the strange future in which both GNOME and Athena dump FUSE but 6.824 doesn't.
19:02 Ticket #510 (CUPS errors silently if PDF->PS conversion fails) created by kevinr
I printed the attached PDF, generated by Google Chrome (a dev snapshot). …
16:22 Ticket #509 (printing-config wrappers don't always use LPROPT) created by broder

mitmailutils: Update libsasl dependency from krb4 to krb5
19:32 Ticket #507 (pursue upstream bugs in Cyrus IMAP) created by geofft
1. As described in Trac #403, if you get a long IMAP response while SASL …
19:26 Changeset [24300] by geofft
In mitmailutils: * Switch from Hesiod to using *.mail.mit.edu so we can use GSSAPI authentication (Trac: #403). * Because of a Cyrus SASL bug (documented in that ticket) regarding parsing long encrypted responses, set maxssf to zero to send mail in the clear. This isn't as terrible as it sounds because mail travels in the clear on the public Internet anyway, and a bunch of client programs (Pine on Athena 9, for instance) don't use encryption, and the major use of mitmailutils is `from` and `mailquota` anyway. Patch based on one from Jonathan Reed <jdreed@mit.edu>.
14:32 Changeset [24299] by geofft

09:46 Changeset [24294] by broder
Stick the ".debathena" before the ".jpg" or ".png" in gdm-config. This means that things like gnome-open and open (on OS X) will know what to do with our images.
09:42 Changeset [24293] by broder
Set the svn:mime-type on things that are images. This way we don't get massive binary blobs in our e-mail.

02/02/10:

22:38 Changeset [24291] by geofft
In finger: * Change ^ 100 to ^ 0100, since this code appears to be intended to do something to sanitize control characters. Setting bit 0100 (01000000) for characters under 32 converts them to the corresponding uppercase ASCII letter (e.g., ^A to A); XORing them with decimal 100 (01100100) is meaningless. * Pass through characters that are not in the ASCII set unsanitized. This allows .plans and .projects with UTF-8 text to be displayed.

01/21/10:

23:35 Changeset [24285] by geofft
