Firstly, after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bishnet.net\/tim\/blog\/2008\/06\/19\/ill-build-a-new-server-its-got-to-be-easier-than-patching-up-the-old-one\/\">building my new server<\/a>, I got round to upgrading from SlimServer to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshports.org\/audio\/squeezecenter\/\">SqueezeCenter<\/a>. This also meant sorting out ports for all the plugins I use. This didn&#8217;t take too long, and you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshports.org\/audio\/squeezecenter-dynamicplaylist\/\">can<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshports.org\/audio\/squeezecenter-lazysearch\/\">find<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshports.org\/audio\/squeezecenter-sqlplaylist\/\">them<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshports.org\/audio\/squeezecenter-superdatetime\/\">all<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshports.org\/audio\/squeezecenter-trackstat\/\">over<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshports.org\/audio\/squeezecenter-transitionupdater\/\">here<\/a>. So far I&#8217;m liking SqueezeCenter, and I&#8217;d highly recommend it (and a SqueezeBox, of course).<\/p>\n<p>I also maintain a port for\u00c2\u00a0a suite of software called <a href=\"http:\/\/projects.cs.kent.ac.uk\/projects\/kroc\/trac\/\">KRoC<\/a>. KRoC is written and maintained <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cs.kent.ac.uk\/\">where I work<\/a>, so apart from making it available to FreeBSD users I also have an interest in supporting the work done by our department. I&#8217;ve been waiting some time for a 1.5.x release of KRoC, but I finally got impatient. I automated the production of <a href=\"http:\/\/ftp.i-scream.org\/pub\/kroc\/\">snapshots<\/a> from their stable branch, and updated the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshports.org\/lang\/kroc\/\">port<\/a> to build from that. I also run a FreeBSD 7 machine in their buildbot system to further test KRoC on my favourite operating system \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>And in other FreeBSD news, I cast my vote in the FreeBSD Core elections. It&#8217;s hard to know who to vote for, but I gave their statements a good read and made a decision. Good luck to them all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve done a bit of work on my FreeBSD ports lately.
