But things are clearing up and I found some time this weekend to update some scripts – the ones most people asked me about
Actually, this was a nice popularity test… I received *lots* of e-mails asking about an update for LibreOffice, which reached the stable stage with version 3.3.0.
Next in order of requests was Zabbix, for the new version 1.8.4.
And third in line was FreeCiv – the game.
These updates were long over due but they are all in the pending queue on SlackBuilds.org now.
As I write this I’m also uploading everything to my site, for those who can’t wait 
I’ll do some more updates soonish, so keep following the news here…

- viewvc + Pygments (browser interface for cvs and svn)
- xspacewarp (Time-Trek like game for X-Windows)
- inadyn (Dynamic DNS updater)
- nagios + nagios-plugins (IT monitoring system)
- ntop + GeoIP + graphviz (Network usage monitor)
- zabbix-server / -agentd / -proxy (Distributed monitoring solution)
- hercules (Mainframe emulator)
- lbench (Multi-thread benchmarking tool)
- nbench (Console benchmarking tool)
This finishes the series of packages I planned to test / run on my ARMedslack system.
I might build other packages in the future, but there are no specific plans at the moment.
First of all, there is new version of cacti, with several patches from upstream. It corrects a few bugs that appeared after the release of version 0.8.7g. Since there have been five patches, I called this version 0.8.7g_p5.
The second update is for Zabbix. I created new versions for zabbix_server and zabbix_agentd and added a new module, zabbix_proxy. All use the new 1.8.3 version that was released a few days ago.
I also implemented some suggestions I received by e-mail, mainly corrections in the documentation.
The third update is for ntop, which released a completely revamped version 4. I actually waited for version 4.0.1, as I had some stability problems with the 3.x series. This new version seems to be quite stable and adds some nice features.
The new SlackBuilds have been uploaded to SlackBuilds.org and packages for Slackware (32 & 64 bits) are available on my site.

This new version (1.8.2) solves some bugs in the previous version and introduces some new features and improvements. For the complete announcement, check this link.
I submitted the new SlackBuilds for the server and agent parts to SlackBuilds.org. Pre-built packages for the agent daemon for Slackware can be downloaded from my site, including a new package for ARMedslack.

Packages for the new agent can be downloaded from my site already.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Zabbix (like 1.6.x) do not forget to run the update script that is provided with the sources. Enter all normal mysql parameters (like hostname, user, password, database) after the “upgrade” command like this:
upgrade -h <hostname_of_mysql_server> -u <zabbix_user> -p<password_of_zabbix_user> <database_name>
Pay special attention to the fact that there is no space between the -p and your password!
The defaults for the zabbix_user, password_of_zabbix_user and database_name are “zabbix”, but you might have changed that during the original installation.
