I’ve started looking at getting Wordpress 1.5 into Portage. Unfortunately, it turns out that my test box’s web server setup is a mess since I moved the RAID array across to another machine. Hopefully there’ll be time tomorrow night to get things fixed so that I can get this package tested and committed.

This version finally separates out themes from the code; future upgrades should be a lot less time consuming

… on the same Gentoo box at the same time; this means that I’m going to have to add this capability to Gentoo after all (something I definitely had hoped to avoid).

… and, I must say, it’s looking a lot better than 0.2.4 (the last release that I’ve spent any significant time grappling with. It can still leave unwanted processes hanging around alas, but it’s getting much closer to the quality of NoMachine’s commercial nxserver product.

All I have to do now is see whether it works on ppc or not … and hopefully I’ll have the answer in a day or so when Gnome has built on the Pegasos box.

For anyone who’s thinking of trying the vmware-linux-tools package that I added yesterday … suspend/resume isn’t working yet. I have this working locally; hopefully I’ll be able to get this into Portage soon.

Heh … I can’t sleep, and X.Org / Gnome finally finished building, so I’ve finished up my initial cut at getting the vmware-linux-tools working for Gentoo, and committed the results to Portage.
