New packages released for the LUGOR/OLPC picnic this Saturday
The packages are built from the code with the lugorpicnic tag in CVS this version includes the new and improved network mapper and sync dispatcher and an important bugfix to the syncnews.pl script (I got the article date and article arrival time backwards when reading the history file) Also as a consequence of the IPC provided by the new network mapper. the network neighborhood is now implemented as a PHP script that reads the network map from the daemon and works much better now.
The new IPC mechanism also allows the syncnews.pl script to update a "lastsync" timestamp in the network map when it successfully syncs with a node. This fixes another problem I had with the old mapper script that could cause some articles to never be sent out to other nodes.
This release also includes the incredibly useful socat utility which can be used to talk to the network mapper socket and for just about anything networking related you can think of.
