Many others have gone through the pain of having to replace/upgrade Redhat’s out-of-the-box IMAP email handling, which goes for compatibility over performance. And now, sadly, it’s my turn.

Redhat 9 ships with UW IMAP, with the most compatible mailbox format. This doesn’t scale well, for several users, or for one user with a lot of mail (that’d be me). From what I’ve read, there is no email indexing, and only one process can lock the mail file at a time. In squirrelmail, it’s currently taking minutes to load each page of email, and I’m going nuts (hah).

So I’m going to install Cyrus IMAP, which is supposedly “hard to configure”. Dang it… to be continued…

Here’s a brief example of managing multiple CVS groups, so you can have different groups doing development out of the same CVS repository. (continued…)

Here it is… GOOD NIGHT!

Changelist:

1) MAJOR bug… the song set used by the controls was changed when adding to playlist… controls were modifying the WRONG SONG! Fixed.
2) Modeless Options dialog OK/Cancel should be working now.
3) Annoying scrollbars were hiding small-view controls, fixed.
4) Changed pink background to something less flashy, until skinning is improved.

“Ah cannoh give ya any more powah, cap’an!” Sorry, Core, I can’t get your IP address from your post. Slash logs an “IPID” of all posters – it’s an MD5 hash of the actual IP. That means that slash respects your privacy, and can’t actually identify you by IP (at least from the slash logs/database entries), but at the same time, it can uniquely identify you and ban traffic from your IP if needed. Good job, slash! 😛

Now get me that IP and the proxy will open up for ya like you was Ali Baba hizself!

Slash, along with my other doodads, requires a pretty powered-up apache build. I like to compile everything in, too, as opposed to using dynamically linked apache modules, for arguably faster performance. I have mod_perl, mod_ssl/openssl, php, and the “mm” library compiled in at this point. Here is my script that does it all in one step. DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME, unless you know what you’re doing and you’re willing to poke through the script. It’s a bit out of date at this point, so that would be the first thing to check… I am thinking I would eventually like to “WWW::Mechanize” the script so that it can, e.g., go to the mod_perl website and figure out what the latest version is. Make it TOTALLY automatic, in other words. Anyone besides me have any interest in this? Or has this been done and I’ve just missed it somewhere?
