Today I had the pleasure of testing updating one of my Solaris 11 virtual machine images to SRU1 using the ISO image for a colleague and I'm pleased to say it was incredibly easy.  Continue reading ►

Well, it's been a week since I implemented my changes to the tagcloud.swf and I've not encountered any problems. I've also been in touch with MustLive who reported the original XSS and HTML Injection issues I mentioned last week and he believes my changes successfully mitigate the HTML Injection issue.  Continue reading ►

Wow!!! That was quick. The guys pushed out Habari 0.7 RC2 last night. This is a worthwhile update as it includes several security fixes that didn't make it into RC1.

Oracle Solaris 11 Express 2010.11 Support Repository update 1 (SRU1) is now available on the Oracle external support repository (https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support).  Continue reading ►

Just pushed out a little update to HB-Cumulus. This update is purely for the Habari SVN compatible version of the plugin as all it does is add support for blocks. With the pending release of Habari 0.7, I don't envisage there will be any more updates to the 0.6 compatible version of the plugin.

As with Linux, Firefox and Thunderbird are available for Solaris and OpenSolaris in a variety of forms: supplied with the OS, installed separately from a pkg and installed separately from a tarball (both available from Mozilla.org). Of these, the only way you can get any sort of automatic update is with the first option: via an OS update and this tends to lag behind the available releases by quite some margin. Well, that's about to change, at least for some people.I'll get straight into the technical details and leave the background behind all of this to the very end.This post and the accompanying code was inspired by this article on Mozilla Developer Center.Update: Ooops, it would seem the automatic update DOES work by default for the tarball downloads, it just doesn't offer an automatic upgrade between 3.5.x and 3.6.x as I was testing. I'll leave the rest of this post as is as an "education" for those wanting to implement their own internal crude update system.  Continue reading ►

Sorry it's been a bit quiet around here recently folks. I haven't been completely offline and neglecting this and my other sites, I've just been lacking the motivation to write or get involved due to recent events on the home front.  Continue reading ►

I've just released the next revision of HB-Cumulus - rev 1.5.  Continue reading ►

Just a quick update to say that Habari introduced some good changes to tags in r3829 of the SVN code. Unfortunately, these changes break the HB-Cumulus plugin, just the SVN release. I hope to release a new rev of this plugin later this week that takes these changes into account.
