Owl-current on CD

Hi,

It is now possible to get Openwall GNU/*/Linux -current snapshots on CD
(with delivery worldwide) - 32-bit and/or 64-bit (your choice).  The
pricing starts at $9.35 (which just covers our costs), but you're
encouraged to pick a more expensive option (which supports our project).

http://www.openwall.com/Owl/order

The intent is to keep recent -current snapshots available for purchase
on CD along with releases, although that will depend on demand or lack
thereof.  Previously, only the last release was available for purchase
on CD.

As usual, any feedback is welcome.

Alexander

Oops.  You've just reported a bug in the OpenVZ container templates.
Thank you!  The bug is not present in Owl "host systems" installed from
our ISOs (with those, /usr/src/world has user "build" as its owner).

No, it's not so simple.

We'll likely fix the bug in "make vztemplate", so the next set of
templates will match the ISOs in this respect.

rebulding python contrib for x86_64


I tried to rebuild python.src.rpm taken from ftp://.../contrib/2.0/SRPMS/ 
directory and it failed to rebuild in x86_64 openvz owl container
created from owl-current-20100323-x86_64.tar.gz (while it still
successfully builds in x86 container).

Here is the last lines of output:

Re: rebulding python contrib for x86_64

Anatoly,

Try python from Owl-extra (you do have access to it, AFAIR).  The
package there is patched to build successfully on ix86, x86_64, and on
the bi-arch systems (e.g. x86_64 with packages for both x86_64 and ix86
installed at the same time).
