Hello developers and soon-to-be developers, I've switched to irssi and don't know much about Tcl/Tk. Someone of you can probably do a better job with tkirc, so i wish to give it away. I'll gladly sponsor if needed. Packages of tkirc 2.42, still needing a bit of testing, can be found from ht

NSS db module, split from glibc

Just a heads up, the nss_db module is going away from glibc. It was split from glibc upstream, and will be packaged seperately from now on. For a short while after glibc 2.1.93 is uploaded to woody, there will not be an nss_db module, until I get that package done. If you use this module... Ben -

Upcoming changes with glibc and db2
